Phone reading my texts out loud? - Verizon Droid Charge

I recently flashed infinity and since then whenever I get a text the message flashes on the screen no matter what app I'm in. It also reads the text out loud if my media volume is up. I don't know if this came with the from or if I changed some settings unknowingly. Has anyone else had this happen?

Check settings-> Accessibility.

Nope accessibility is off and it says I don't have any accessibility apps.

Wipe and reflash. This should solve the issue. Are u using titanium backup?

Have you checked the settings in the messaging app itself?
@vabeach is that an Initial D profile picture?

yes I'm using titanium. And it happened on the 12/04 infinity and after I wiped and flashed the 12/11 infinity. The messaging app itself is just the stock one and I couldn't see any settings about text to voice or anything. Hmm mind boggling.

There's a Text-to-Speech menu under settings as well. Might want to check there.

Phone settings?

Ok so if I go to settings>call settings>other settings/phone settings, it says default mesg etc. What exactly is that for and how does it work?

I'm pretty sure it's designed to send a caller a txt and reject their call. I just made a few test calls from another phone to mine with the screen locked/off and unlocked/on and I do not see the option. Perhaps it's another missing feature or it needs to be enabled somewhere?
EDIT: Apparently it's supposed to be automatic. See this thread as well: http://forums.androidcentral.com/t-mobile-htc-sensation/94296-text-message-after-rejected-call.html
I just tried and no text was sent.
Maybe it's for while you are on a call already? I don't know how to make it work either. Sucks that they put things on the phone that have to be unlocked ie screen shots , this feature ...

Just an update, if I hit the menu button during an incoming call the option to send a message appears. I wasn't able to edit it. I'm on htclays superlite so I don't know what effect that has on the functionality of this feature.

FB Notifications Problem

I am having problems with the Facebook notifications. I can not receive any of them. Its the ROM issue, because my wife can receive notifications and her phone is not even rooted. Anyone having the same problem or know how to troubleshoot?

Its not a rom issue...if you've never signed into Facebook on a blackberry, notifications will not work! Sign onto a blackberry and you will start getting them on your android...idk why it works but it does

I just downloaded FB for the hell of it - have you gone into facebook > settings and checked "Notifications' active, then down to 'Notification ringtone' and set a tone? It was defaulted to 'Silent' on my phone.
Yeah all those are good. I just can't get the notifications on the status bar

@nativesmiley: Facebook push notifications will work where they show in status bar.
Here is what I did that eventually got it working -
Logged into FB on computer - In 'Account Settings' > 'Mobile Settings' - I activated my phone number.
In FB app on phone - went to Settings > 'Refresh interval' - Set it to 'Never' and Notifications set to 'Active'.
Clicked the three bars in top left corner, scrolled down to the bottom, click 'Account'. Then 'Account settings'. Then 'Security'. Enabled 'Email Login Notifications'.
You should compare these settings to your wife's phone.
I am also on Valhalla Black.

Have you installed the facebook app and logged in?
Check if your wifi/data is turned on, you are not getting any notification if you are not online.
Go to facebook app and press menu->settings, check if notifications is active.
If still not getting notifications. Go to system settings -> accounts & sunc settings. Check if background data and auto-sync is on.
Thanks for help harry but they are both checked.....:-(

Default direct msg

Hi, my use-by-default app keeps getting cleared every time my phone boots, I tap the direct msg and it asks me for messaging or go sms, even though I've checked go sms as default. Any ideas? I'm running legend 4 with go launcher

[Q] I can't get SMS via Hangouts to stop vibrating with sound on

I'm not sure what's going on but I can't get vibration off with sound on when SMS comes in via Hangouts..
The most obvious culprit is in the Hangouts settings themselves.. under the SMS section it clearly says vibrate..
Which I have unchecked.. & rechecked to uncheck again...
It's not helping
I didn't see anything in Sound settings that looked helpful.. or G3TweakBox..
That's just me though..
Any advice ?
Maybe look under the Sound system setting?
