Phone speaking to me but no pressing can buttons - Nexus 6P Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I can see the humour to this ... if I can fix it quickly.
My phone is talking to me ... everything I touch it tells me what it is - needs double tap to go anywhere and two fingers to scroll. Bloody weird. What have I done? Does anyone know? I can't use my phone at all. I have pressed something accidentally it seems? I wonder if someone has played a trick on me. ANy help please would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Can I delete this, please. Solved.

Don't delete it. For anyone else who accidentally stumbles upon this, it's TalkBack. Go to Settings -> Accessibility and you'll see the option to enable or disable TalkBack.

Had this happen to me when I received my first 6p. I thought it was defective but I was able to complete the setup and then navigate to settings and perform a factory reset. Good to know there is a setting to turn it off

How to remove keylock???

Hello,
I saw here some threads where guys wanted to install a keylock,
but i need to REMOVE it!
I checked all menus and cant find how to disable it and it is pretty annoying when suggesting every time to unlock and then to confirm
This problem came from nowhere yesterday, i didnt install any new soft in the device recently.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
PLEASE! Anyone, help!
How to remove that annoying keylock? I should press 3 times now to unlock the phone instead of just 1 clock of power button.
Can anyone suggest to change smth in the registry? Where this thing could come off?
Multiposting wont help for sure.
Standard lock is in settings on personal tab, it's called 'lock'.
But I think you have something different. You probably use some additional software, because indeed, WM6.1 does not have any automatic keylock.

yes, but it's not there...
Well, then what about using Google? Like finding this util - http://journal.zenyee.com/2006/11/10/diy-software-hack-for-window-mobile-phone/ with a simple query (http://www.google.com/search?num=50...=3892l3892l0l5848l1l1l0l0l0l0l106l106l0.1l1l0) but since the download doesn't work, You can ask the blog author.
Or if that doesn't work, You could check what happens if You delete the notification from queue manually (with SKTools or Dotfred's taskmgr). And if that works, then You could write maybe a small mortscript to take care of this. There are tons of ways You can help Yourself. There isn't a ready-coded solution for everything here as all the devices are different. We can only show You the door, but You are the one that has to go through it.
Hi, thank you for the answer. I did search using google but I couldn't find it.
I used the remove bluetooth softkey and other combinations but I couldn't get the answer.
Anyway, yes the program is not downloadable anymore.
I already post on his web hopefully he still has the program to share with me.
anyway thanks a lot...
OK, glad I could help. Don't forget to hit the "Thanks" button, if You really feel that way
yes, I have waited for a couple days but so far I haven't got any replied from him. I PMed him already. Hopefully he still has the file as he is the only person who has this kind of modification...
I have searched everywhere but nobody seems to have it.
if someone still has it, please share it with me as I desperately need to get this...
thanks

How to change the time on when you need to fingerprint unlock.

Not making sense my title. My friend just bought a GS5 for AT&T.. I have mine for T-mobile. He swiped his fingerprint to unlock his phone, then like 5 minutes later I picked it up to play with it, turned it on thinking I would need his finger print, but i didn't.. Just swiped to unlock.
He said he forgot where the setting is, but he doesn't have to swipe his finger every time the screen is off.. I do. and its kind of annoying.
Where is this setting pleasee???
I would imagine that he doesn't have the setting to lock automatically when he hits the power button selected.

ok here is the deal. I was able to find where I can have my phone lock with the finger printer after xx amount of time ( I set mine for 30 minutes ) but!!!!! What he has.. When he turns his display off and back on, he has to swipe to open it. Like a typical unlock, after 30 minutes though, his will require a finger print.
now with mine, after I finger print it, I turn the display back on and its just ON. I don't like that because of butt dialing or any other issues. I want to be able to swipe to open, after 30 minutes finger print.
We played with his today trying to find where he made those settings and he can't find it now.
ARGGG!! this is so annoying, lol
COME ON!!! Is everyone confused as well?? Are we all in the twilightzone?
lol ttt
really? no one knows the answer to this?
setting, sound / display , lockscreen

WRONG!
Anyone else?
look.. It's this easy.
On his GS5. when he powers off his screen with the sleep button, and turns it right back on, he has to swipe to unlock. But every 30 minutes, he has to use his finger print.
Get it?? so if I'm driving home from work and unlock my phone 3-7 times, I don't want to have to use a finger print to do it, but I do want to swipe to unlock.
but every 30 minutes of inactive use, it will automatically lock to a finger print.
His is set this way, how is this done!

I realize this is annoying to you but your response to someone trying to help you was rude.
I also don't see anywhere other than the lock screen settings to manage your security settings. Mine also works like your friends, seemingly by default. The only thing I can suggest is to change the security to swipe and then back to fingerprint. Maybe it's some kind of glitch you found.

It's a forum, it's read differently to some people, it wasn't meant as rude. Although the reply was extremely basic, I know how to get into my security settings.
What I'm asking seems harder to find then a noob trying to root his phone. It is frustrating. It's a basic feature and I'd love to have it
Hello,
Go to lockscreen setting and set the lock automatically time to 30 mins. Also you will find an iption below stating lock instantly with power button, disable that option and you are done. Your phone will lock to fingerprint oly after 30 minutes of inactivity

Still not helping.. Again...
When I shut my screen off with the power button and turn it back on, it just turns on without any swiping needed. After 30 minutes finger print is needed.. But I want to have to swipe to unlock my phone, finger print within 30 minutes!!

This is how I feel right now
I'm on XDA forums, not some kiddy site and we can't figure this out.
someone mentioned it was a bug, maybe that is true? But I would love to see if someone can confirm this. Is it a bug. Is it simply NOT possible?
Do people understand what I'm saying?
It's not an app. He literally just bought the phone that day! He still talks about it with me all the time. I laugh at how the genius's here can't figure this thing out.
I mean.. Maybe I start a thread, "What do you use to unlock your phone"
I can't see people using fingerprint EVERYTIME to just open the phone for a second. It takes too long.
I think most people just don't even use the fingerprint option and thats why this thread is lacking any replies.
I use fingeprint all the time. I have looked at all my settings and cant find any options to set swipe as temporary lock screen.
I wish I could as I would like that option too. However I dont think that fingerprint takes too long. I just swipe my thomb and the phone opens.
Your problem sounds like something is preventing the phone from even locking. I had a similar issue on my Galaxy S4. There's an app called Swann View Plus that I would use for viewing our cameras at work. For some reason, whenever I opened it, clicked back to home, and then locked the screen, when I woke up the phone I would not have to swipe to unlock, it would just be there at the home screen.
Now I have the same app on my Galaxy S5 and it doesn't do that, however I would look towards some kind of app causing this issue. Wipe your device to factory and check to see if it is still doing the same thing as it is now, or if it does as your friend's does which is also what mine does.

No. I doesnt mention any app.
My phone does the same as yours. But I would like the same setting as your friend. I just say I have looked at all my settings in the phone and cant find any setting to set it like your friend.

small Google Bug I noticed

Ok people tested this with another person and he confirmed also.
1)Make sure advance calling is off
2) Activate developer options if u havent already done so.
3) find windows transitions and change to off for all three
4) clear all left open windows using the far bottom right button
5) Go to dailer and see the keypad gone.
Any ideas why this would be? and for me the only way to get back is changing the transistion back to .5 for all three and clearing all the windows again. Its odd. i didn't try with advance calling because advance calling is still alpha stage in my opinion.

Thats been there from ages!
It has nothing to do with advance calling though.... i think its something google knows but didnt care to fix cuz lollipop is already out with a whole new dialer! One work around is press on the dialer icon and press back again... You get the dial pad!

Moto Maxx here, same thing. But if you go back and then again to the dialer it does show up.
Its been like that forever.....I have mine set to .5 because of it. Annoyed the crap out of me.

I'm not sure it can be called a bug when developer options are merely for developer testing and development scenarios. Its not being used as intended, so unexpected results show up occasionally.

How to disable notch (front camera) acting as power button?

I don't know at which time this got activated, maybe its a "feature" of the CarHD mod I am using, but its so annoying and I cant find how to disable it. I googled it, searched it here and in the phone menu, but no luck. Taping the front camera notch locks the phone, and holding it brings up the power menu. Its so useless and annoying, because I press it by mistake and lock my phone. The actual power button is much more easy to press. Anyone has the same issue? Have you found how to disable it?
Thanks in advance.
There would be an option in the carhd rom control app, perhaps in the status at section
