So basically when I tap and hold a picture to select a picture I always get annoying voice that says "the picture is currently checked" and "the picture is currently unchecked" I checked in settings but I cant find a way to disable this. Anyone have any ideas?
Look in settings> my device>accessibility >talkback

Is it when you select pictures in the Gallery (put a green check mark on it)? I just selected a few pictures and didn't hear anything.
I have the same problem. I narrowed it down to when you enable another accessibility service it turns on part of talkback.
I have a pebble watch and when I turn on the accessibility service for it it the phone prompts that talkback will be enabled, If I cancel Pebble stays off. If I choose ok, The pebble service is enabled and it displays talkback is off but I get that stupid checkbox is checked and unchecked in the gallery. A bug for sure
Long standing bug in Samsung code. It was suppose to be fixed in the next release. The author of lightflow ha been battling it for a very long time. He has links to specifics on his Web site.

Damn that sucks. I never had an issue with that on my GS3 so it just kinda sucks seeing that present here =/

Does anybody know how to disable Recommended Shortcuts in the notifications shade? It appears every time I plug in the headphones. I remember that I had to freeze an apk on my Sgs3 to disable it on early firmwares. Later there was an option in the clock settings to turn it off. For the life of me, I can't find that option anywhere on the sgs4...

I've noticed that if you stop the Page Buddy service before plugging in headphones, it no longer appears. That said there's no option for Page Buddy like there was in the Note 2, or at least not in the same place it was on there.

Yes exactly, I have it disabled on my note 2 (haven't yet managed to sell it on).
I wonder what does this page buddy do on a SGS4?

From the description it's supposed to provide contextual pages.
I disabled the app and the notification went away. I'm leaving it disabled for now to see if it affects anything else I use.
Also there is an option for "Show notifications" for the Page Buddy service Application page. I just unchecked that, leaving the application enabled and the notification is gone now.
I wonder: What is "recommended shortcuts (earphones)" and where can I configure it? I like the idea, yet I'd like to configure it.
But I can't seem to find a setting or app. Is it really connected to a "Page buddy" app? I have no such app on my SGS4.
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.....
Doing a search comes up with a few threads with same issue

Isn't that Talkback? Disable or turn it off in settings.

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 truly love my S4 but this is driving me insane.
When receiving a message instead of telling me who it's from and an idea of what the message is... I get this:
Edit: Apparently I can't post an image of the issue until after 10 posts. In any case, my notification, both on the lock screen and on the notification bar, say Messaging, and underneath says New Message. Normally, or at least with my S3, it would show who the text message is from, and then a small preview of what the message says.
Has anyone else had this issue or know of a fix? I am trying to stay away from rooting my phone, for now. I am using Nova Launcher Prime but I don't see why this would effect anything. A reboot has done nothing so far.
In message app enter menu and after, settings thhan tick the last option before signature, in italian "anteprima messaggio"

Thanks. For some reason I didn't think to go into the settings of the actual messaging screen. I was able to put a check mark beside "Preview Message" and that has solved my issue. Thanks Again!
Why isn't it on ny default?

I guess Samsung left it off to keep the privacy of unexperienced users on Android that have no idea how to change settings by themselves.

I'm almost definitely sure mine was on by default as I turned it off. It showed the message on the lock screen too.
I just found out about this last night. I received a called around 12am. The S4's torch flash start flashing in interval when i got the call. Pretty weird but cool at the same time. I tested it out in the next morning and it still does that.
Does anyone know that its a Samsung's feature or something else that I installed? I wanna turn it off to save battery.
Thanks.
Mine doesnt do that...

Check your accessibility settings to turn this on and off... Its a feature commonly used for people who are hard of hearing so they can see the phone flash when it rings.

Menu -> Settings -> My Device Tab -> Accessibility -> Under hearing at the bottom there is a flash notifications check box.

That option is NOT checked at all and the torch is still flashes when i get phone calls. But not for text/email, etc..
Try checking it and unchecking it. If that doesn't work, it's an app.
I'm using Google messenger as my default. Some reason I'm still receiving that preview popup whenever I get a text and I can't find a way to turn it off. I do want the notification just don't want the preview showing. Anyone know how to turn that off?
I'm not 100% sure but is this the option that you speak of? If you're on the latest version of messenger, click on your profile picture in the top right corner of the app, then you can find this setting inside of Notifications & Sounds.
EDIT: I'm so sorry, I had a moment of brain fog. I thought you were talking about (FB) Messenger. My apologies!
No problem. I still can't figure it out. Nobody using Google messenger here and turned off preview??
Okay I just downloaded it to have a look and I think you're out of luck mate. The only setting that even comes close to altering the notifications without downright turning them off is the option I've highlighted below under App Info > Notifications. Obviously not ideal but the choice is there.
