Hey there,
since a week I own a Note 10.1 2014ed with LTE. So far I didn't modify anything on it and run the stock -MJ2 firmware.
I want to restrict some apps of accessing what the don't need to access and since 4.3 supposedly has this rights control feature called "App Ops" already integrated, I checked how to use it... Google gives many links to descriptions how to open the feature, they are all the same: Either you use a launcher that can start "Activities" (like Nova launcher) or you install one of the many apps from Playstore which do the trick as well.
Here is what I found on the Note:
Whenever I start the App Ops (no matter if I use an app, and I tried several, or start this activity), it just takes me to the first page of the Settings screen (WiFi).
Although searching the web for a while, it seems no one who owns this Note is using the feature or not having the trouble with it.
Can someone confirm this problem or, even better, give me a solution for it?
Cheers

I have that very same thing happen with something totally different. In wanam when I try to enable the flashlight from lock screen feature it takes me tu settings page nothing to do with camera flashlight or lock screen.....No idea I just gave up for now
Hmmm, no one interested?
I'm just wondering now if people don't care what their apps are accessing or if they use a third party program to make restrictions.
Any idea how to control apps will be welcome. If you use sth like LBE, please leave a reply.
Cheers
Hi there again.
Since there is no information available throughout the web concerning my question I was in contact with Samsung support about it. I thought it might be helpful for others what was replied.
They said that using the original Samsung Firmware, the feature cannot be used. They didn't specify whether it was completely removed from the system or only disabled so itcould possibly still work.
Since I am not a developer I didn't go into more detail there.
Now I hope that a custom ROM like Cyanogen will be available soon for the tablet.

I'm facing the exact same issues.
When following the windows opening when starting App Ops from e.g AppOpsX, a window titled "App Ops" opens quickly, then closes and ends up on the Settings screen. Same for flashlight.
My best guess was that Samsungs version of the Settings App blocks access in a way that they can only handle windows/panes that their app is capable of - would explain why it shows up just quickly and then closes.
I've been thinking that if I'd be able to flash the stock settings app, temporarily freeze the Samsung one and try App Ops - might work?
I have the same issue. My p605 is not rooted

Thanks for the suggestion, but...
I have the same issue. The path to the settings on mly phone does not exist as typed above. I do find:
Settings>Device>Accessibililty>Vision>Talkback.
Talkback is off, still having the issue.
I've looked through the other menus (only at main level), and do not find a Personalization option.
If you really want for the calculator to stop talking:
Settings - Device - Accessibility then under Services switch off Keeper Fastfill
I use Keeper a lot for auto login so switching this off is not an option for me.

INteresting. Doesn't turn it off for me. I had Keeper disabled. So I re-enabled it, turned off Keeper Fast Fill, still get numbers announced.

Actually I have already downloaded one. Calcu looks very nice. I was thinking it didn't have a memory , but, the pull down looks like it will serve for that.
For some reason I can't disable the stock calculator. But it's no big deal.

I use nova launcher which gives me the option to hide apps from drawer. Like I use ex dialer too so I hide the phone and contacts.
Do you have greenify installed by any chance? That was causing the issue for me and uninstalling fixed it.

Also, two other calculator i recommend: mobicalc and myscript calculator.
Yes what mdemirha said. It was greenify making it speak. Greenify also turned off s voice talk back for my phone. Uninstalled and both went back to normal

Not worth it to me. Keep Greenify, and download a different calculator. (I personally don't use s-voice)
Mine's doing this too and I don't have Greenify installed. Went through accessibility settings and couldn't find anything that fixed it. I downloaded a new calculator, so it isn't a big deal. Still wondering if this is a bug, a setting, or a conflicting app.
Maybe if those that are experiencing this issue can post their a installed apps it may help?
I suspect that if accessibility is enabled for particular softwares like Keeper or LastPass the issue with the calculator pops up. I'm sure there are other apps that could cause it as well. Since I needed lastpass more than the stock calculator I installed calc+ and use that instead. I ran it through mw pen enabler to process its apk to support multi window mode.

Found what it was on mine. Pie Control.....

for me, it was keeper. The thing about it was that I had "turned off" keeper so i couldn't access the settings. I had to turn it back on, go into the settings, change whatever it was that was causing the speech, then turn keeper back off. Then it was fine. So weird how you can turn off an app but the settings still apply.
This is NOT a bug.. per se.
These apps that are causing this to happen, are not even close to using Android as it was designed. They have found a back door to access certain functions in a way that used to require root. They use a work around, and that work around causes the speaking apps. They are definitely not using the accessibility services as they were designed to be used.
That said, those apps do extend the function of the device for a minimal negative impact. So as with all the things that make android great... its a personal decision on how to manage your device, and what you prioritize. Keep the functionality of these apps and work around the "bug" or uninstall the app and silence the calculator.
They will not fix the "bug" because it caused at the root level and the devs have no way to make changes there, and Google doesn't support these features using the accessibility services as a a backdoor way to automate the phone. Most likely they will close the loophole at some point.. the most definitely will not formalize it.

Hey, I was wondering if it would be possible to replace Samsungs built-in phone app with Google's phone app.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-google-phone-v14-0-175904292-bubble-t3708218
Also if rooted you can install the Google phone framework to install it from the play store. This will also allow the spam filter to work correctly... Which it doesn't with that link previously posted.
Awesome! I'm sick of how slow the Samsung dialer is....hopefully this is better.

Yeah same, I also replaced the contacts and messages with googles own. I uninstalled samsungs stock phone messages and contacts apps with ADB commands.
Is there any way to get dialer app? Actually kind of prefer the OnePlus phone app. Just wondering how everyone else was picking up visual voicemail on Verizon
If you mean Google dialer....You gotta download the Google dialer framework module in magisk then wipe data in play store and reboot. After that you download the Google dialer from the play store. Then go back into magisk and download a module named app systemizer. Then in terminal emulator run su, then systemize. Follow the instructions for moving the phone app to a system app(priv-app). Then you'll be set. Oh and don't forget to set Google dialer as the phone app under app info when you long press the app. I disable the OnePlus dialer as well.

Oh ok i see, actually my OnePlus dialer has the visual voicemail tab out the box with no mods. I'm on Verizon as well. I just prefer the Google dialer because of the spam call blocking option.

Makes sense, will try that
Can you get VVM one the one plus dialer? If so let me know and I get an error.
Just install as normal apks. Then, clear cache and restart device.
Apks come from apkmirror. So, for newer version you will have to rely on them except the frameworķ.
it works for Galaxy A324G?
How clear cache ?
Just install from „APKMirror“ and make sure your gallery app is updated and update the photo editing app located in the gallery app, which is responsible for „Object Eraser“, „Shadow Eraser“ and „Reflection Eraser“
From my experience, you don't need to clear any cache.

With the new update, „Samsung“ has blocked the sideloading of the editing app, which is highly disappointing, restricting features, that can be enabled.

Well yes, I did some deep investigating using „ADB“ and one thing I realised, that there is a secret user profile which keeps „Contacts, Gallery, Calendar, Camera, Samsung Internet, My Files, Samsung notes and the photo editor app“ (probably even more) which from what I can tell is from „Safe folder“ even when not used, this is confirmed by installing a program and adding it in „Safe Folder“ deleting the app from system or trying to update/downgrade the app the same error will appear, since it is encrypted „ADB“ has no clue if it is a user or something, since it has no idea, but it is a unique „Safe Folder“ user which if it has the same app it will lock you out of: Updating, Downgrading and Full-On Uninstall the app in question.

I've tried to install the apps linked but some failed to install, that was some time ago so I don't remember which. But I intend to reset my phone soon and will try it again.

The „Object eraser, Shadow eraser and reflection eraser“ install no problem, it's the fact, that they are tied to the editing app, which is installed on multiple user phase, meaning without downgrading before the change (when „One UI 4.1“ launched) even resetting the phone won't work, unless you are an insane debugger with „One UI“ and „ADB“ then you are sorta out of luck.
Object and reflection eraser install but don't show up in apps, even after clear cache and restart
