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.

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.

Has anyone run across issues with the MobileIron SecureApps module not being found after previously working just fine on the most recent OxygenOS Beta 13?
Yes, Mine is constantly losing configs, saying its not registered but works again when a force check in is done.
You know how your work has the config set up? I just finished deploying for our work environment using android enterprise and it is working flawlessly with exception of a few add-on launchers. I run several different ROMs and it works on all of them.

I am not sure. Now that I am on OOS Beta 19 it only seems to happen much less frequently. I have found you can just go to the Secure Apps app, it will prompt you for your password, and that this is enough to get the other apps (Mail, Calendar, etc) to see the Secure Apps and allow login. My Help desk raised a ticket with MobileIron, who acknowledge that they are aware of the issue. Now that I know I can get access restored by logging into Secure Apps module, it is not a headache anymore.
Why do you use such piece of software on rooted devices?

So, mobile iron fixed this issue, I was reading through their android corner the other day. Should've posted the content here for you. When I get back to work tomorrow on Monday, I'll try and remember to post the fix.
It's pretty simple, just have to enable secureapps at startup, but can't remember where to do this.

Since I'm running AOSP, I'm not really running into any issues. I'm also using my device as a BYOD, but hopefully this helps.
I'm trying to install the [email protected] app on my device OnePlus 3 which is running on Oxygen OS 5 (Android 8.0.0), I'm getting similar error message. With Oxygen OS 5 there is no option to Enable Secure App Manager or modify App Auto Launch settings. What is the work around? Please help.

I checked the mobile iron forums and have not seen a work around for Oreo. Strange however, I have it installed and everything is running fine. Are you using the device in a BYOD environment or in a corporate owned state?
A lot of [email protected] has to do with the way it is set up (phone to server), so without knowing all of this information, I can't necessarily recommend any fixes.
Can you throw up some app settings and screen shots by chance? Please blur out any information before hand that is no one else should know.

The safest way to install good lock and galaxy labs apps and its modules is thru the Galaxy Store. But it's officially available to India and USA users only. Here's the workaround if you are from other places:
1. Eject your sim tray.
2. Install a VPN app and connect to a US location.
3. Perform clear data on galaxy store app.
4. Open galaxy store app and you can already search the Good Lock and Galaxy Labs apps. You can now install them and the modules inside them.
5. You can now reinsert sim tray and disconnect vpn.
You can watch this video if you want a visual guide/demo:
Not hard at all. You need to install the core app, Good Lock first before anything else in that family.

And what makes you think this is not a safe source? I think anyone who doesnt have access to good lock should just install from APK Mirror.
Get Started Here
On another note those who cant get it can also try Nice Lock

True that, great for calling me out on that.
Scan it with online with Virus Total and see what's there before you install it...
While I never found any viruses with it I have found files that shouldn't have been in the app. Probably were harmless but better safe than reloading.

it could be for, to us at least, trivial reason of not being translated into other languages

Still doesn't support Europe even after downloading and installing the app.
If you are not in one of the supported countries, the instructions in the first message is the only way.
Why are you guys not using nice lock?
I don't think it's translating that's an issue. It's not available here in the Philippines and we're known to know how to speak/understand English.
All OK it works perfectly, I used another VPN, Thanks and sorry for my english
@tribalfs
thanks for the solution my friend, I have only one problem, after day or two, good lock becomes unusable again with network error, says:
"There was a network or server error. Try again later - 401."
If I want to use it again, I have to do the whole procedure again, can somebody maybe help me, do you know some kind of workaround?

Good Lock is checks for updates at least once a day.
Probably how you're getting flagged.
However if you Firewall block it at least on my device it continues to run regardless.
Try that.
I use Karma Firewall, freeware with no ads and extremely low battery usage.

I kept getting system UI errors in Dex. Did a fresh install, no issues. Started uninstalling the usual stuff through the adb app and after again issues. Did a fresh install again and decided to disable the system apps instead of uninstalling them and there were no issues. My thought is that my issue was related to what shown in the settings app as I usually uninstall digital wellbeing and tips and these options would be gone from the settings, now when they are disabled they still show but dont react when pressed.
Do you still have shortcuts of one of the apps you uninstalled/disabled in the control panel?

Hey guys has anyone used "ADB AppControl" to debloat app/programs on the Fold 4 yet or even tried this link with the lists they name to debloat?
https://www.getdroidtips.com/uninstall-bloatware-samsung-z-flip-4-z-fold-4/#Samsung-Galaxy-Z-Flip-4-Galaxy-Z-Fold-4-Device-Overview
I've used ADB Control App, no issues.
I'm using Package Disabler, used to be in the app store but now it's cloud based. Used it on my Note 10, Note 20 and have just started to debloat the Fold 4 with no issues. Just have to be careful what you select as it may have something to do with something you use. Fairly inexpensive and works. Also don't need a PC so you can disable on the fly.

Thank you, I used the this app on my windows 10 machine and was able to delete using that app.
I use Icebox, disabled (not uninstalled though) around 100 apps, works a treat!
Been using ADB App Control for my least 3 Samsung phones, Fold 4, Flip 3 and S10+ to freeze apps. Never had any issues, and the extended (paid) version is worth the money, better than some app on the Google Play that needs to rebuy after a major
software version update.

I highly recommend ADB AppControl, or any other PC method of disabling bloatware on your phone.
Reason being, if you happen to disable something critical for the phone to operate like normal, like what I did...., then you still have a chance to revert your changes, and avoid having to reset your phone. If I had made the same mistake using an app on my phone to disable bloat, I would have been forced to factory reset!

I respectfully disagree, with the app you can re-enable immediately and not have to wait until you get home to your PC. I have disabled a system I shouldn't and was able to fix it on the fly without a PC or a factory data reset. I have no issues with adb app control but I don't want to have to rely on a PC when I'm away from home. I am proficient in using adb and even that can be reversed without FDR!
