Disable Talk Back Mode in Samsung Galaxy S3 KitKat vs Jelly Bean

2 Methods:

KitKat

Jelly Bean

On the Samsung Galaxy S3, there's a feature that notifies the user by voice of incoming calls and text messages.

This feature is called TalkBack Mode, but for some, it's less of a feature and more of an annoyance. This is because even when TalkBack Mode is disabled, your phone may continue to talk. Even worse, many people who try to disable this feature find that their phones no longer respond to touch input or voice commands.

Quick Tip: If you're stuck in TalkBack Mode, and your device isn't responding to touch, use two fingers to swipe or scroll, instead of one. Use one tap to select an option or function, and a double tap to click or open the function, instead of single tapping.

The Samsung Galaxy S3, S4, Note2 and Note3 all use the same method to disable TalkBack Mode.

More than likely, TalkBack Mode was accidentally turned on by an application, or a mistake by you or someone else experimenting with your Samsung Phone or Tablet. Since TalkBack changes the way you interact with your phone, it disables the most commonly used touch methods, and can actually lock you out of the phone. As frustrating as this is, it only it only takes a minute or two to disable.

PLEASE NOTE: that specifically to disable TalkBack Mode, you'll need to interact with your device differently than you normally would, using the following two methods.

• Swipes and scrolling in TalkBack Mode require two fingers instead of one.
  
• Selecting a menu item in TalkBack Mode is done by selecting it with a single tap, and then double tapping it to actually chose the menu item.

1. 1
   While on your Home screen, double-tap your phone's menu key (located on the bottom left-hand side

TalkBack Mode changes the way that you interact with your device, invalidating the regular swipes and taps you would normally use.

If you previously set up a lock password, pattern or slide lock, then you simply need to use a different method to unlock your device. When following these steps, always keep in mind that when you're in TalkBack Mode, single tap functions are now double tap, and all swipe functions are two fingered instead of one. Additionally, some single tap functions are now long press while in TalkBack Mode. These differences are especially important when it comes to unlocking your phone.

Here are some tips to help you through the most common problems with TalkBack Mode.

While we've discussed how to disable TalkBack Mode on your Galaxy S3, as detailed earlier in this guide, our VisiHow users have asked for more tips and suggestions, which we've provided below. Don't forget to let us know if you need more help by commenting in the questions section.

• These instructions also work for Samsung Galaxy Note II, which is essentially the same as the S3 but with a larger screen.
• The settings menu may not be available from your home screen as specified above if you have configured your home screen and moved or removed this icon. In this situation, you can still access it by swiping down and selecting the 'Settings' sprocket icon that appears in the drop-down menu at the upper right, or you can access it by hitting the invisible 'Settings' button just to the left of your home button.
• Having any password active while in TalkBack Mode can make the steps provided in this guide extremely cumbersome and unintuitive. It's strongly recommended that you disable your password before using TalkBack Mode, and instead set a swipe or pattern to unlock the phone if you need a password while in TalkBack Mode.

TalkBack Mode Vs. Driving Mode Vs. Text to Speech

How to get past the home screen in TalkBack mode on the S3 or Note II

Often people are getting stuck on the home screen after enabling TalkBack mode (presumably to try it out). They don't realize that, in TalkBack mode you must use two fingers instead of one when swiping, and you must double tap instead of single tap. In this mode, you may think the device has locked up. So, use two fingers when you would normally use one, and double tap instead of single tap, and follow the instructions listed above.

How to use swipe on a Samsung Galaxy Note when a voice is talking

The voice that you are referring to is the TalkBack voice service, enabled through TalkBack mode. Since you are in TalkBack mode (as evident by the talking voice), you cannot use gestures normally, as you do it on normal mode. On TalkBack mode, you use two fingers instead of one finger o swipe. Using two fingers, you should be able to swipe successfully. All other gestures, like tapping and dragging, are done with two fingers. When you try to swipe on your Samsung Galaxy Note or Galaxy SIII when you are in TalkBack mode, you have to make sure your two fingers are not so close together. This means that they should be apart for the swiping to be successful. Swipe using two fingers then double tap on the application you want to select. When your fingers are close together, the swiping may not be successful so remember, fingers apart to swipe and double tap to select.

I am unable to unlock my S3 phone while TalkBack option is in active mode?

Why my Samsung Galaxy 3's incoming number with "+" and cannot be called back?

Why my Samsung Galaxy 3's incoming number with "+" and cannot be called back?

Did you know that once the TalkBack has been enabled on your phone it enables double tap.

In order for you to scroll on your device after you have entered TalkBack mode you will need to double tap on the screen before you are able to move it on the device.

If you have an incoming number calling you with an + sign you will be able to go back and enter the number without the + sign so that you can dial out perfectly. The + sign appears at times when you have copied the number from somewhere else to call out and can in fact cause an error in calling depending on the number.

The plus sign often signifies that you are calling a number internationally, this can disrupt the call from your device depending where you are calling from. It will be very easy if you were to take away the + sign before you dial out the number.
