You're going to laugh at the Android n00b, but here goes...
My Skyrocket keeps reading SMS's to me as they come in. I have no idea how to tell which program it is coming from. This is really annoying so any help you can give would be much appreciated!

What programs have you added? It is almost certainly one of those.
I'm guessing you have car mode on. Check the settings turn it off.

Vlingo does this also.
Go to:
1. "Settings"
2. "Voice Input and Output"
3. "Text-to-speech settings"
4. Then uncheck "Driving mode"
haha what a cool feature i didn't even know about it!

Oh that's the accessibility feature called talkback I think. To turn it off you have to go into Browser Settings or System settings to turn it off. I can't tell you precisely where to go as my xoom isn't with me at the moment.

Settings
Accessibility
Under there you have a check box for turning on Accessibility, then under that options for SoundBack and Talkback.
So I've noticed that when I type there seems to be no auto correct happening. Ill get an apostrophe and stuff if I forget but on regular words I get nada!!!
I've tried smart keyboard pro and a few others with the same result.
Is there a setting or something I could have turned off???

I've checked all my settings. When I have show suggestions checked it will correct words but I don't like seeing them above the keyboard as I type. It's distracting too me. When I uncheck it to get rid of the suggestions box it will not auto correct common mistakes.
For example, if i type brothr and show suggestions is checked, it will change to brother. If I don't have it checked nothing happens.

there is a free 30 day trial of swiftkey 3 it is pretty freakin amazing!
Have you checked under advanced settings for what the space bar does?
Almost every time I hit the home button from within an app and it goes to my home screen. It has to completely redraw the touchwiz interface. I'm running 100% stock firmware.
I was curious if anyone else was experiencing this problem. I find it very annoying and i feel that since this phone has 2GB of ram it shouldn't be having a problem keeping the home screen loaded while in another app.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I'm confused on what exactly your asking. If course if you hit the home button it's going to go to your home screen. If you're talking about your recent apps, hold the home button then you have plenty of apps to choose from.

Op. For s voice, do you have it set to activate with a double tap of the home key? If you do then that is y get the redraw. S voice is waiting for a second tap to see if it need to activate or just go home. Turn that feature off and it will be snappier
Edit. OK. I see what u mean. Do u have forced 2d hardware acceleration enabled in the development setting?

Yes I do, i thought that may be the culprit but i wanted to see input from elsewhere. Should I disable that?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Yes. At the least the 2d thing. The home key to go back to the home screen is a personal preference. I use s voice alot so I like to be able to access it right away

I know what he is talking about. It is the amount of time it takes to get to the home screen when you are in a app. It does take a sec to long to get to the home screen.

I know exactly what you're talking about OP, I have the same issue for a while now, and coincidentally I did some research on this just yesterday and found a couple solutions you might be interested in trying:
Solution #1
Solution #2
Solution #3
Solution #4
I skimmed through the solutions and i didn't see the one i believed i helped a friend with. He has the same issue and he had power saving turned on. Once he disabled it, i want to say it was resolved along with other issues. Try this and maybe activate it again and try running one off at a time to see what one it is. Its been a few weeks at least since i talked with the person. Not sure if you have it on or off.
If none of these other solutions work...are you really tied to using the touchwiz launcher? I know launchers like nova and apex give you the option to force the launcher to remain in memory to prevent excessive redraws.
Personally, changing the double tap S memo option made everything a little faster for me.
I know there's a setting somewhere on our phone that makes it so when you press the back soft key it exits the app. I believe I have that checked by accident and its getting quiet annoying. I've went through the settings, maybe it's just as simple as me overlooking it. Would anyone mind helping me out?
Help is much appreciated! =D!

It also exists on AOKP & MIUI.
So.. there I was.. on a date at a packed movie theater watching Gravity 3D IMAX.. I had put my Note 3 on vibrate right before the movie, and put it in my pocket..
And then.. during a totally quiet scene.. S Voice started talking to me.. Thinking i had woken it up! Shoving my hand into my pocket and hitting the volume rocker, did not shut it up.. I kept asking me to repeat myself.. LOUDLY
So I had to take the bright ass phone out of my pocket, while half the theater was giving me dagger eyes, and quickly turned it off. Which took another 10-20 seconds.. I got dagger eyes when i left the theater as well..
After the movie, I tested S Voice.. Putting the phone on vibrate does NOT quiet S Voice.. you need to actually turn down that sound setting individually. Sigh.. That just seems silly.
I never used S Voice Wake Up except to show off the phone.. so now, I am just not using S Voice at all. Safer that way.. and the home button works SOO much faster with it off.
Lol. I'm sorry that you went through that. Thanks for the heads up. Seems like a headache. It would be nice for s voice to silence during vibrate. What a shame

I love that I can wake up S voice by voice, but there is maybe 1 false positive at least during the day so far. I hope an update can improve it.
Hi! When I'm in my car, I use AutomateIt to turn on Bluetooth, so that it links with my car. But, even when I have turned off S-voice, it automatically turns on.
Any idea how to turn it off permanently?
Thanks!

Dagger eyes? Weren't they wearing their 3D glasses?

best is go to settings / general/appliaction manager side scroll in application manager, see section under " all" and select s voice " disable" .thats it !
If you want to enable it, go "same place" but when in application manager, side scroll across to the "disable section" and enable it.
Note to self, turn off S Voice when watching a movie that might possibly has the word "galaxy" in it lol.
