I am seeing something weird happening on my GN2 and cannot find how to stop it. The TouchWiz is talking back in some places. For example if I click on a folder I get "The folder is open" and if I close the folder I get "The folder is closed". If I open editing page to adjust the order of home screens I get "Home screen editing page is open" and when I close it I get "screen 4 of 8". Very annoying.
I tried everything, Sound settings, Accessibility settings, went down all settings one by one. Cannot find it.
Does anyone know where to go to turn it off?
Thanks

Do you have Light Flow or Light Manager or some other notification LED managing apps?
But it should be in accessibility settings btw.
Nop, no light flow or any other led apps. And nothing that I found in accessibility is disabling that voice

Is there no TalkBack option in your accessibility settings?

I don't know when or how, but I once accidentally turned on car mode.
system settings -> accessibility -> text to speech -> driving mode.
I could swear there is some sort of setting for blind people. Maybe that's it?

There is but it is disabled. I went through all options of TalkBack and none of them affected this. TalkBack is turned off right now but I still get the same response.

Never had Light Flow installed.
Maybe clear data and cache on Talkback, S Voice or what ever "talking" apps you have. That would reset them as if they have never been used.

Hi, Got an unrooted s3 with software 4.0.4. If I exit a number of programs such as poweramp or several games without turning the volume to zero in these programs, the phone talks. If I click on a folder it says "folder open". If I go to touchwiz edit it says "open homescreen page edit". Talkback in accessibility is switched off. My searches have thrown up a few similar cases but with no resolutions. I would welcome any suggestions.
Check driving mode. If on, turn it off.

Thanks Doc. Doesn't help though. Driving mode was off.
Sounds like you have TalkBack on. Settings/Accessibility/TalkBack.
Nope. Not that. Talkback in accessibility and drive mode are both switched off.
Im at a loss man. Sorry. Maybe try toggling both of those on/off again. Otherwise you could reflash your rom, faactory reset, or see if you cant watch a logcat to see whats happening when it does this.
Ive seen others ask this but dont recall anyone posting their fixes.
Are you on a custom rom or kernel?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
You could root and flash a rooted stock Rom.

Phone is not rooted. Will probably try a hard reset if no other resolutions come to mind. Thanks anyway everyone.
Found the solution and thought I'd post it here in case anyone else had the same problem. Disable google text to speech and Samsung TTS. Got this solution from circuit89. Many thanks, whoever you are.
This past week the stock Samsung internet browser app dims when opened. Then when I close it the phone goes back to the brightness level it was at before opening up the browser. only happens when using the Samsung stock browser. Anyone else having this problem?
Stock AT&T GSIII
Edit: Also wanted to add that this is not happening on my wife's GSIII.

Check display settings. There is an option to change the screen tone to reduce battery usage. Try unchecking that.

Thanks for the reply but just unchecked it and it's still doing the same thing. Even tried toggling on and off auto brightness and it still does the same thing. It's very strange.
Try turning off powesaver.

I'm chalking this up to a bug. I have a friend with an S3 with this exact problem. No amount of settings changing would fix it. I'm pondering doing a factory reset on his and seeing if that fixes the problem.
I was having the same issue. Turning off power save mode fixed it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Its not a bug. I was able to make this happen or not happen by changing a few settings, but I don't remember which ones because I'm on AOKP.
But it definitely is a battery saving feature, so turn off all battery saving stuff and then try it.

The Samsung gs3 browser has its own display brightness settings that are independent of your screen brightness settings. While in the browser press menu and you should see a screen brightness option. You can select between 3 levels of brightness or set your own slider.
Thanks everyone...I found the culprit.
For anyone else having this problem, it is under the phone settings, power saving, I unchecked "Background color" which says "Change background color to save power in internet"

I recently switched to skynote, which is an amazing ROM, but I have a weird new issue, where every time that I open up a folder, a voice tells me "the folder is open" and when it closes, "the folder is closed". I looked through settings and I can't figure out how to turn it off, and it is so annoying and unwanted. How can I fix this?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda premium
The usual culprits are driving mode or accessibility settings. You didn't specify which settings you checked.

I'm thinking the talkback option in the accessibility settings? Maybe take a look there if you haven't.

You can install LightFlow (or another LED manager) to manage your LED Notifications.

First make sure you have the led turned on...its in the settings. Light flow will work but you have to disable talkback (its an Android problem not an LG issue) question.. does your led light up when you turn the phone on? ..when your phone is off turn it on if it lights up all the colors then its working if not then maybe a hardware issue.

I have the led turned on. When you say disable it you mean have the toggle to off correct? Yup, it goes through all the colors when booting up.

So anyone get lightflow to work? Doesn't seem to work for me.

Working for me. Did you enable it in accessibility settings and enable notifications for the individual apps you want notifications for (via Lightflow)?
I didn't try it with your AOSP Messaging app, yet. I wasn't even getting status bar notifications, though.

In your Accessibility Settings disable TalkBack and make sure Light Flow is enabled. Hopefully that straightens things out.

You need to actually go in to the main settings, General, apps, select talkback, force stop, and then disable it (you may need to uninstall updates first). I had the same problem a little while ago. Does it only say the letters using the LG keyboard? Mine didn't do it for other keyboards.
Also, if you use tasker at all, it can successfully control the led colors. If you want to play with it, you can assign different colors for specific notifications. I haven't done so yet for the ogp, but I made an app for the lgog (only one color for that led though). Also, if you look up something called "buttonled" by germainz here on xda, he has made a tasker profile and app that might work for you too.

I did a factory reset and went in and disabled talk back. Led works now with lightflow. Only thing that bothers me is when I test the new color, it'll blink new color then a different color then back to assigned color. That normal for this phone? Thanks for the help by the way.
