My phone reads out emails loud when s-pen is near the screen! What should I do to turn this feature off?
the only time I've heard mine read anything outloud, other than caller id, which is an app I have setup, was when I inadvertently turned driving mode on-check for that in your toggles

Hmm. I read of people having trouble with hovering over the screen with the s-pen and it acting like it was already touching the screen. They said hitting it against something hard fixed the issue. Try that? Lol!

This is the only thread I can find about this, so I'll revive it here.
I have car mode off
All Accessibility features off (except for my Pebble notifications), in the Talkback Accessibility, I unchecked everything (just in case) even though it's off.
Under Text-to-speech output, if I choose the 'very slow' speech rate, I can confirm that the emails are IN FACT spoken more slowly.
How do I stop this text-to-speech from happening? I can't find a visual impair setting anywhere.
Edit: I FINALLY FIGURED IT OUT.
Even having Pebble on Accessibility notifications (for some reason) enables TTS features, no matter what you disable. This has been realized for other Accessibility options in Touchwiz before, so for anyone having this issue, here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36228563&postcount=9
Hopefully it's fixed in future software updates!

Life saver. I was literally going to throw my device every time that idiots voice came up.
Just had the same problem then I just remembered I have GO launcher notifcations turned ON so I just turned it off and it answered the conudrum.. thank for the idea guys!
And is there any way to separate them? Very annoying when listening to music to get notifications for emails.

To me is very helpful, since I don't want to lost any work e-mail, I need the notifications to be impossible to miss

They are doing it for usability reasons. Essentially notifications and ringtones serve the same purpose, and there are very few use cases when those need to be different.

They really don't though. At the moment I'm talking about music and it's annoyance of being interrupted by an email every 5 minutes. I'll work out something with tasker anyway.
However what about wanting phone calls at night but not emails. At 2am someone calls i want to hear it. I don't want to hear my email.
Apple is getting praise for finally separating the 2 and Google goes the other way. Very silly

I wished i could set my notification tone quieter like i could in previous versions.
Thought I'd share. For those of you that are looking for an alternative to the power button LED for missed notifications, XDA just featured an app called Buttonled by GermainZ. Basically, it turns your hard buttons into your led.
Thanks to ewcrider, if you prefer the red power button LED in place of the capacitive buttons, use the first file path on the list, led:red, instead of button-backlight/brightness.
Been using it for a couple hours and it's working great, so far.
Make sure to enable in accessibility.
Find the apk and give all thanks to GermainZ at the link below.

Thanks for sharing. Are you using the HDPI or MDPI version? Sorry if this is a noob question but I don't know what those mean. :silly:
This should also be able to control the power button LED if you desire.

Yep. Select the one with "led:red" in the path. For me it was the first in the list.

You should get a prompt with a warning in the title, click it, then the different options will appear.

I couldn't find it manually, myself. I did the auto locate. My first install was kinda buggy, try deleting the app and try again.

Thanks I'll try that. Btw checking the app under aspect ratio correction makes it fullscreen I discovered.
EDIT: Got it working. Here is the full path for the power LED.

I really like the red. Changing the flash intervals works with this app so I'm happy as a clam now. Couldn't stand the long off delay or whatever it's called, haha.
I saw this in the XDA Twitter feed. It's exactly what I've been looking for.

After my second install I no longer get a laggy app. Might help you too?
Wow amazing find. Thanks for sharing.
Here is how I set it up, if anyone wants to know. This works just like BLN.
Pick the /sys/devices/platform/msm_ssbi.0/pm8921-core/pm8xxx-led/button-backlight/brightness PATH. (Should be the second one)
I set Turn LED on for 7200 (Which, if my math doesn't suck, should be two hours.)
Then I set Turn LED off for 0
Finally I hit, Enable ButtonLED in accessibility. (This took a while to pull up, I recommend doing it yourself through the settings)

Can you clarify a little more what that does. I figure it leaves the backlight on for two straight hours?

That's about it. Basically, if I am awake I will see if there is a notification within the two hours. But if I'm asleep I don't want the capacitive LEDs on for the whole 8 or so hours I sleep. I also don't want them to pulse or turn off if there is a notification. Two hours just seemed like a good medium.
Hello everyone,
Okey when I had my Nexus and used the Lightflow app, and a certain notification popped up in the notification bar (that notification was setup in Lightflow with a blinking LED) with screen on it would also blink.
On my note2, if my screen is on and I get that notification, it doesn't blink. I have no idea why.
Anybody familiar with Lightflow? Any ideas how I can make Lightflow blink with screen on?
Sent from my AK-55
Have you checked out Lightflows settings to make sure that you have that checked? Also that may only be a option in the paid version of Lightflow. Im not very familiar with it but it should under settings I would think.
Edit:
Just treated it for myself and it works perfectly on the free version. Click on the app in you app drawer, click settings, enable root mode, enable Samsung mode, then set your apps up.
I tested it on a low battery and it wouldn't quit flashing or give me a notification to turn it off like it does with email and other apps so I had to set it to go off after one minute for the low battery warning. I think the only reason it didn't have a pop ip was because the battery was already at 9%. The light stayed on the entire time the screen was on also.

No problem, its a bit annoying when it wouldnt show the notification for the battery so you may have that problem in the future or it may just be cause I tested it with a low battery.

I set both Always-On and Turn-Wrist-to-switch-On options off.
But when I turn the wrist the screen goes on despite the Turn-Wrist option is definitly off.
What is blocking this setting?

You need to switch it off on the app and the watch
In which app?
I looked into Zenwatch Manager and Google Wear, I found nothing.
