voice: "Checkbox is currently checked" when checking the checkbox in Gallery
I've played with much of the settings, but still, in the stock gallery, when I check checkbox in a photo, the phone is say "the checkbox is currently checked."
I'm not in Driving Mode, or anything like that, is there a way I can turn it off?
Thank you.
Check TalkBack service under Accessibility in phone settings and turn it off. Maybe you have Light Flow or simillar service installed?

Actually, I do have Light Flow installed, is there a way to turn the voice off in Light Flow? I'm scrolling through the menus and don't notice anything. Or is there nothing I can do?
Thank you very much for your input.
I think it's some kind of a bug. Because there was also another app on playstore that also had to be installed as accessibiity service and there was instructions on playstore how to avoid this problem but I can't remember what app it was.
I had the same problem as you and I just disabled Light flow in accessibility so it was still functional and the problem with TalkBack was gone (I had Light flow lite version so maybe this accessibility option was not necessary). You could try enabling and disabling TalkBack also, and disable all of TalkBack functions.

Found the app - it was iPhone notifications and here is what it says about the bug:
*** Samsung devices users with Talkback/Keyboard/AirView issues ***
* If your device is reading aloud some of your actions, note that this is a bug in Samsung's OS occuring with any accessibility service, here is a fix : http://www.productigeeky.com/faq#1
* You can follow the progress on this bug with Samsung : http://developer.samsung.com/forum/thread/samsung-devices-and-accessibility-services/77/204387
Hope it helps
Thank you for your suggestions, I appreciate it, even if they don't work, I don't mind all that much. I much prefer having light flow around because I love having the notification LED customizable.
Thank you again, I used titanium backup to freeze both Samsung and Google text to speech engines, now there is no more voice, perfect!
Thank you so much.

They should be labeled as "google Text-to-speech Engine" and "samsung text-to-speech engine" in the big long list in TB.
for me this happens when floating notifications is enable
anyone know how to turn it off

Hi guys.
I flashed RR v7 on my note (so ICS).
Maybe I have got a hidden setting I didn't know the existence before.
If I put in edit mode the app drawer to manage my apps in folders, when I open or close the folders there's a synthetic voice telling "folder opened, folder closed" plus something else....
Am I wrong? Any suggestion? I want to get rid of that. Only doing this operation I hear that. Really annoying. I did not check anything in voice settings...
Thanks.
Check System Setting > Accessibility for a Voice Over feature. Turn everything off in that menu, might be it.
Thx mate. Already checked and everything is off. In my opinion is due to the custom ROM I have. In fact it is the only place of the entire phone where I have such voice "help". There must be some hidden recall to voice function active on that. Quite annoying but I can survive.
Thanks for your reply.

I had this 'bug' using the new galaxy s3 launcher. I've reverted back to stock launcher before i found the cause of it.
Hope this leads you in the right direction

Mate, you are right.
I changed the default s3 touchwiz with the classic one and the "bug disappeared".
So it is related to the new touchwiz itself.
Thanks so much to have given to me the right tip.
Cheers!
You mean feature lol

Feature? Yes if it would be a thing I can choose..
Not this case...
I had a similar problem but was triggered by my 'Iphone Notifications' app, it looks like apps enable under 'Settings/Accessibility/Services' can trigger this wierd behaviour in touchwiz, i disable iphone notifications and the 'Folder Opened' voice goes away, I enable it and it comes back.
If you disable any Text to speech (TTS) apps installed, usually have a Google one and a Samsung one installed in Stock ROMS, the problem should disappear. Its a well documented problem with Google Talkback.

Hi.
Creator of iPhone Notifications here.
Here is a fix to your issue :

This is a bug in Samsung's software, their dev team has reported to us that they have found the bug and made a fix and it will be released in the next update.
Thanks for your interest for our apps.
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.

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
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using xda premium
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.
Hi all,
I tried to enable a couple of my accessibility services today, and I get a warning message saying:
"Talkback and the options below cannot both be enabled. The options below will be disabled.
Air Browse
Air View
Multi-Window
etc. etc."
Any ideas why I would have to lose these samsung options? Also I removed Talkback using Titanium Backup I think...
I would also like to know this, very frustrating as i bought the phone for some of these features + more -.-
Try tinkering with the app/service settings, sometimes the disabling option can be found there instead.

Sorry could you please elaborate?
Hello,
I received my S7 Edge (Exynos), installed my Light Flow app (paid) and it is not working. Tried the Samsung-specific workaround proposed by the app, Direct Mode, etc. and nothing.
Any idea about this ? Any alternatives to Light Flow ?
Thanks !
It works if you turn off the always on display and you enable the samsung fix.
I was using Light Manager on my Xperia Z2 and I'm using it again on S7 Edge. It works without any problems with Always on display feature.

Thanks for the tips, everyone. I am not willing to give up the Always-On display, I think I will try the Light Manager.

May I ask you about your settings?
You have 'always on display' ON as you said, what about 'LED-Display' in the 'Display' Settings?
I have the 'Light Manager Pro' and Mode on 'Normal Mode', but the notification is not working..
Here's my settings:
Display -> Led indicator -> Turned On / Enabled
Display -> Always On Display -> On
As far as Light Manager, I just installed app and configure some colors for apps, no other changes:
Normal Mode
Enable Fix -> unchecked
Shows notification Only
I have not made any display nor light manager changes. All was as it was installed / default.
Hope that helps. One more thing I have regular version NOT Pro
Works, I dont know why exactly but it does - thanks!
Light Manager works if you are charging. It seems to get pretty flaky on battery. I set it to turn the screen on when starting the light and it's better. Still not 100% accurate.

He confirmed it for Light Manager but his first comment was for Light Flow which is what I am trying to use.
Lightflow I could only get to work if I disabled the always on screen in the phones settings and enabled the Samsung fix in Lightflow (it prompts you for the Samsung fix). The Samsung fix means notifications don't get dismissed correctly a lot.
Light Manager works with the always on screen. It worked great when I set it up while charging. It got pretty unreliable running on battery. So I set in Light Manager advanced settings I enabled "Wake Screen". Works a lot better like that. Normal mode and no 5.1.1 fix needed.
Always on OFF
Lightflow is working for me

Yes I can confirm. I have lightflow working fine.
I have the always on screen off, and have done right from the start. The fact it only displays missed calls and sms is useless to me. Until it starts show all notifications, then I won't use it.
Notifications always clear fine as well.

Okay, I tried again and found that I must not disable the LightFlow notification. I have installed the legacy version and LightFlow now works and without the permanent notification.
Thanks to all who answered!

Anyone with a rooted phone can try Light Flow to see if it works ? The app has some "root options" that may or may not make a difference
Right now the following issues are present:
- Does not work when the Always-On screen is on
- All applications from Google (Gmail, Messenger tried) do not work, unless you set their "Notifications" toggle off, which is even worse than Light Flow not working
Thanks !
LED blinker pro works perfectly.
