It appears as if TalkBack is automatically activated in Chrome. Can someone confirm by long pressing on features in Chrome like "mobile bookmarks" or the settings button in the top right?
EDIT: It may have been caused by installing LightFlow, activating the accessibility setting and them uninstalling it without turning it off. Weird ass bug. Every time I would open Chrome it would belt out "new tab". Lol

You can freeze talkback if you don't need it..

I've been experiencing this quite a lot
Surfing the net pressing home button and find the home screen reloads. So bit of a lag which is very annoying, until samsung sort this out with a software update there is a work around. Simply disable s-voice from.settings that's it. I haven't actually experienced screen reload since.
Let me know if this works for you or not.
Try this
Untick under s-voice settings the following:
Launch S Voice
Wake up command
Under application manager go to running select s-voice and stop all services.
Go to all and disable s-voice. This will remove the app from app draw list too, you can also disable chat on app too.
This should stop the app running in the background.
My mate has got this phone has has also experienced this problem a bit as well.
I was just wondering when you say 'disable s voice' do you just mean just disable s voice opening when double pressing the home button? Or is there a setting to actually turn it off?
Yer had same issue, disabled see voice, all good

I would also like to know this. I stopped s voice opening when I double tap home button. That fixed the home button lag, however, I'm still experiencing the ocassional reload of the home screens.

Another nice side effect is it makes the phone feel alot snappier because it removes the home button lag.
EDIT: should have refreshed the thread :/ mattyt_491 was faster.. I don't think there is a way to disable it completely (without rooting) I didn't have any reloads since I disabled the double click. Then again I restarted the phone and it usually takes half a day or so to start happening..

Guys don't get frustrated. As per thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1694508&page=3, just set the size of dalvik cache to 128MB and everything will be fine. My personal experience, just perform these two extra steps:
1. Use Nova Launcher or Apex, takes less memory
2. Use 2D rendering from developer options, It does not make it slow at all.
3. From developer option, limit background processes to 4. Trust me you will not notice it.
4. And yes, disable S voice after you are done with initial experiment. Its not useful for anything.
And my phone is working snappier as it was when I opened the box. I will update it after few day's use. Running smoothly for 2 days. Today is third.

Why don't I have this problem? I think it's be ause I usually check what's open and close things. You should go into deb settings and have 4 processes max to test if it really is your memory or you just need to reflash.

I'm having the same problem.
Is rooting the phone and making these adjustments the only solution to this issue?
Switching off S-voice did work temporarily, but the problem has returned.
I'm new to andorid having just switched over from the dark side of iOS. Is Samsung likely to fix this in a coming update?
I find it hard to believe they didn't spot this in pre-testing the phone.
Thanks
I don't have this problem too. Strange.

I get voice alerts on very few actions. Currently they are when I use stock browser. It say,"page loaded" or "loading started" and with gallery "the check box is currently checked". I have tried everything to turn off. I can't seem to find the option for it. It'd rather annoying!
Do you have light flow installed.....

Look in your accessibility settings (my device> accessibility> services). If you have any services besides "talk back" listed (they don't have to be active, just listed) it will activate talk back for a few actions (like selecting items in the gallery), even if talk back is disabled. This is a notorious Samsung glitch. The only work arounds are to either uninstall apps that use accessibility or to freeze both Samsung and Google text-to-service apps (which will also disable other text to speech services, like vocal navigation directions when driving, etc). It blows, I know. I just avoid apps that use accessibility.
I have notice that this app turns on automatically in the task bar, and I cannot turn it off unless I go to running apps and disable it. Has anyone else had this issue and how can I fix it?

When you open app and go to settings you can turn off by unchecking "Show remote control on notification panel". But for some reson mine is showing back after i restert my phone..Maybe is just my phone.. Try..

It is not just your phone and it is quite annoying to have to turn it off after every reboot.

This is an issue with the last update. I notified the developer and they Emailed me back telling me they are aware of the issue and will be adding a "fix" in a future update.
If you wipe data on the app then this stops. It has for me at least

If you don't mind, reboot your phone (completely turn off and then back on) and once it is fully rebooted, pull down your notification panel and see if it turns back on again.
If you wipe the data, it clears all the settings... I have the same issue. I want it to only be active when I call for it by clicking the app. Not all the time. I tried greenify and it seemed to work until I opened the app, now it is back to coming back after every reboot.

Do you have something enabled in the accessibility settings? If you have things like light flow or other stuff enabled it messes with the talk back feature and automatically enables it. The only way to stop it is to freeze it or disable the other thing.

Its usually caused by talkback in accessibility. Talkback can also be triggered by some apps that access notifications like lightflow or floating notifications.
Theres a bug with Talk balk.. try disable then enable again

thanks guys, enabling then disabling fixed it now
I had the same issue, but turning off / on TalkBack didn't resolve it for me.
What worked was turning off a different app (Dashlane) that had Accessibility on....so now I have no apps with Accesibility on, and the browser stopped talking to me.
I remember my S3 had a similar issue with TalkBack talking when I had LightFlow accessibility on.
So i was annoyed by mymagazine being only 1 swipe away and being accessed by the double tapping home button. So i turned off the home button setting and then then turned off my magazine. it wasnt an issue but i ended up just rooting my phone and then uninstalled all the bloat apps....including mymagazine.
Now when ever i double tap the home button my TouchWiz crashes. however, if i swipe up, it just goes to the play store and says item cannot be found.
i really hope that we get some way to swap out the my magazine for google now or something useful. anyone know a work around that doesnt involve a different launcher??

I am having the same issue - hitting home button when on my homescreen causes TouchWiz to crash. Did you ever figure anything out?
If you uninstall my magazine or freeze it, tw will fc. It's tied I to the framework of touchwiz, either use a different launcher or reinstall/unfreeze my magazine
Sent from my SM-N9005 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
This might be a dumb question but If i use a different launcher other than TouchWiz will the s pen functions still work? Also, playstore doesn't have MyMagazine. Do i just need to install the apk if i want to keep using touchwiz? (very new to root)
thanks
Yup will still work - you'll probably find the mymagazine.apk around somewhere

still stuck :\
When i try to install MagazineHome.apk i keep getting "Application not installed".
If i try to install it with Rom Toolbox APK installer it just says installing then goes away as if nothing happened.
I was reading on a few other threads but am quite confused. What is this term Push(ed) being thrown around.

You can push/side load via adb or cut n paste it into system apps and set correct permissions - not done it since I had my HTC one so not sure if it is different on the Note, just grab Nova launcher can customise as much as you want and have no fc and no mymagazine
