100% stock verizon s3. not rooted , & barley any thing on it.
Today it started to read practically everything to me....mostly facebook, but also texts, & calls.
Driving mode is off,
talk back is off
i dont have Lightflow installed.
im confused. the ONLY thing that i did do today was enable Driving mode to test it out, the i turned it off. (via the notification area, as well as enabled then disabled it via the settings menu...)
anyone have any ideas WTF is going on?> also a reboot did not fix it.
My Nexus 7 did the same thing to, but it stopped on its own

its now also reading everything from the XDA app
Go into settings, accessability, and turn off text to speech feature
I think I just figured out, the number one tool to own if you're going to own a Samsung phone is a sense of humor.
I'm sorry OP, but your thread cracks me up and every time I read your post

I LOL some more. I'm giving this **** 5 stars.
I should not have to turn it off. Then is mostly a circumvent and not a solution
Also I am not sure what is so entertaining about the post

Unless you are visually impaired or need total hands free operation Text to Speech should be disabled.

i installed LED flow which needed to have some accessibility options enabled, and after that my voice started too. i never did check the box to turn it on, but it did it on its own.
i uninstalled LED flow as i did not like it, and everything else returned to normal.
When you click a folder on your home screen does it say "The folder is open" and/or "The folder is closed"? If it does it means you have something in accessibility turned on. I use tasker. Some of the features requires tasker accessibility turned on. When I do that I get the annoying text to speech notifications like that. Only way to turn them off is to have nothing all at enabled in accessibility. I dont have to disable tts in language and input, so I can still use google now, eva voice assistant and astrid still reads me my reminders. But I cannot use any tasker task that requires accessibility, without hearing" the folder is open. The folder is closed" etc etc etc.

That's what it was saying to me. It was annoying. Like I said I went in and removed led flow, reset all the accessibility settings and it's silent now.

Turn off driving mode. Or go to setting>text to speech> touch the word driving mode> uncheck what you do not want for S3 to speak

Hello guys...
I am using with satisfaction Noled app and I gave a try to the audio alert yesterday, an option I never used. It works, in fact when I receive an email or a phone call, a digital voice alerts me (about the incoming call telling the name of the caller for instance). Now I want to turn off the option but it does not work: even if I uninstall Noled, the alert is always present and it is a little bit annoying.
Do you know if there is a trick or a system option I can fix inside the phone? For sure it is a bug of the app which changed something somewhere I don't know...
thx to all
That's not Noled - that sounds like driving mode in the voice input settings. (in text to speech)
You are partially right. Noled entered in conflict with my car mode because I did not noticed that it turned on alone (don't ask me how, I never used this option). Plus they started to play each other when getting a notification of SMS out call...so everything was messed up...I uninstalled noled, reinstalled it and turned off car mode. Now it seems to work. Maybe it happened when I changed my custom ROM...many times happens something with Android when you flash even if you follow exactly the proper procedures...
Thx anyway, mate.

anyone know if there is a way to get GO SMS Pro and No LED to work together. Right now I basically have them both GO and stock messaging running cuz its the only way ill get the NO Led notification. If not, maybe someone knows how to get free texts? lol. The only reason Im really using GO is for the GO Chat cuz I dont have unlimited text (only unlimited to vzw) and I went over my limit cuz of damn sprint and att friends lol.
I honestly don't think unlimited text is that much compared to a limited amount...

Plus my gf who is im on a family plan with refuses to pay more because I text way more than she does.

You might want to try this: Go to NOLED Setting/Toggle Notification/Monitored Apps, and select your preferred SMS app. It works with Google Voice for me.
It will require you to enable Accessibility Services for NOLED. Go to Settings/Accessibility/Accessibility Services, and place check marks on Accessibility and NoLED.
I cannot make these two apps work together.
With nothing set in the apps configurations, no led appears when the display is off.
I tried to check the Go SMS Pro mark on noLED monitored Apps, it just makes the display to stay on for an indefinite time.
So I tried to check the notifications delay mark on noLED, but this makes no effect and the display remains off with no leds on it..
I have the same problem. I checked in accessibility the noled and i checked in monitor program go sms but nothing...
Fixed. i cant use a link here but read this:
Q: NoLED no longer works with GoSMS for SMS messages, any help or workarounds ?
A: The problem is in the new feature that GoSMS added: the ability to turn off notifications for all other SMS apps. If you leave that box checked it also disables it for NoLED, uncheck that checkbox to make it work again.
I switched to handcent, basically the same as gosms, but has no issues with no led

Thanks to fousekis21, now it seems to work!
I've unchecked the box for the other SMS apps notifications and setted the delay on noLED (not setted any monitored app).
Now the notification incons appear with a delay of about 1 second, but finally they appear!!
I just accidentally enabled explore by touch as I enabled talk back. According to Google support pages there's no way to turn it off independently of talkback without a factory reset. I figured somebody here could probably come up with a more reasonable solution.
Thanks in advance

So Explore by Touch is enabled (sort of) as long as ANY program is listed under Accessibility > Services set to ON
So either Talkback, or any app.
In my case I get accouncements of "The Folder is Open" even with everything off and Talkback uninstalled.
Doesn't look like anyone will help.

I see the same thing on my Note II. For me it was using the Light Flow App... It turns on a service in accessibility. turning that off gets rid of the talkback announcements. So it seems that the bottom line is: stop using whatever installed/enabled the service, or live with the announcements
Does anyone else have this problem or know how to stop it?
The schedule function is off, so it can't be that. I've enabled the exception for alarms within it since this keeps happening, but could be dangerous for some people if it does enable on its own like this.

Yeah I get this too. Looks like it's enforcing the schedule to me, despite it not being enabled. Really annoying

I figured out it was automateit, the app. I had it set to turn the phone down to silent at a certain time of night, but apparently this option enables do not disturb mode on this phone instead of just silencing it. Just poor handling, can't blame the app though, phone is still very new.

I'm having the same problem but its also happening in the middle of the day. I've tried to schedule when its to turn on/off but this has not helped.
"Do not disturb" setting turns on randomly
Same problem. Any advice appreciated. For the moment I've gutted the DND setting by telling the phone to let calls, texts, and emails through when in DND mode.
Are you sure its not some app you have installed on the phone?
JuiceDefender for example does this for me, even when do not disturb is turned off in the main settings.

Thanks. Yes, it's an app, though I don't yet know which one. Restarted in Safe Mode and issue went away.
Do not disturb coming on by its self .
I had the same problem on my Samsung J7 .
What I did to solve that problem was I uninstalled all my apps and reinstalled them one by one and watched which one was giving me problems .....And the app TrackR was my problem now I have no problem with my do not disturb ...The app TrackR seems to have a bug .
Happens w the S8+ too
I have tried and tired to figure this out. I am missing important texts because my DND is turning on in the middle of the day randomly despite turning it off. Any ideas?
I bought a Samsung S8, and immediately started having this problem. It stumped me for a while, until I found this thread. I had installed Tasker and imported the settings from my old phone. It turns out that the action to turn on silent mode was turning on Do Not Disturb instead. The actions that used to say Silent Mode "On" now said "Mode 2". I tested it out and, sure enough, it went to Do Not Disturb. For some reason, "On" no longer appears in the pull down box for silent mode; only "Off" and "Vibrate". For now, I'll switch all the broken actions to say "Vibrate".
So I've noticed since upgrading to Pie, when using the quick toggle switches, the wrong item is displayed at the bottom of the screen. If I was to click the wifi toggle, it will say mobile data enabled at the bottom of the screen. If I was to click the wifi toggle off, it says wifi enabled at the bottom. I'm 110% stock (Verizon version ?) thoughts?

Gotta be an app you have installed. I just reset to most recent stock 9 a few days ago and don't even get toast notifications when using the quick settings.

I can't figure it out for the life of me. I think you are on your way something tho, either an app or a setting. None of the other toggles show a toast notification. Don't wanna factory reset, might just have to tho
Mine keeps enabling "Night Mode" to "Always on" all by itself. I set it to "Always off" and it turns itself back on again after just a few minutes.
Weird stuff going on.
I may just start going through system apps and clearing cache and see what happens.

That I believe is because you have night mode turned on in the messages app, or any other Google app that has a dark mode setting. The night mode setting in developer options I've noticed, doesn't really matter. When I use Android auto, it switches between day and night on its own. Now if I pick up my device and use it while it is still plugged into my car, and I open messages which I have dark mode enabled, it will switch Android auto to dark. And I would have to unplug the USB and plug it back in. Hope that helps

You're absolutely right. The night mode setting for the notification pull down follows the setting in the Messages app ... which I had turned on.
Thanks! That was driving me nuts.
