I had accidentally turned on Talkback, now when I try and turn it back off, the Settings screen will not scroll down to Accessibility. I Can't get this to SHUT UP!!!!
I think this is a glich in the STOCK ROM, or it's an undocumented secret.....
I found the solution... Below...
But there is still a glich when Talkback is active. The phone will NOT SCROLL when this feature is speaking...
If you have inadvertently enabled Talkback, you can quickly pause it, and then go back to disable this feature.
Anywhere on the screen, swipe down then right in a single motion, as if you were drawing an “L”.
Note: This should work whether the phone is on the lock screen or unlocked.
You will then see 2 options in the top corners of the screen, select “Pause Feedback”.
When the Suspend Talkback message appears, double tap “OK”.
You can now normally go into Settings > Accessibility and disable talkback

Reboot your phone and try again, also... no need to post multiple times, we all have lives and will try to help when we can. I am not using a stock ROM so I can't check this for you, but I'm sure someone will be around soon to try to help.
I didn't mean to double post, this site gave me an error in my browser and didn't think it posed, so I did a refresh then posted, sorry..

Hey guys, quick question about an annoying issue I ran into today. I went to check my email as usual, I went to put in my pin(required as per security settings in my office) only this time the keyboard was vibrating when I typed.
I use the stock sense keyboard so I went into settings for the keyboard and saw that the 'vibrate while typing' checkmark was checked off for some reason. Not a big deal I unchecked it. But it's still vibrating when I type I've tried switching keyboards back and forth but with no success. It continues to vibrate when I type in all programs.
Any ideas guys? I have a rooted DINC on Virtuous v3.1.0.
I haven't used sense in a while but I think I remember there being 2 different places to uncheck vibration. Maybe theres an advanced menu or something. Try pressing the menu button while you're in settings and see if there's more settings.
Settings>Sound Setting and untick Haptic Feedback....maybe thats the problem

I forgot to mention I tried that as well. That turned off the soft keys vibrate like it usually does, but the keyboard was still vibrating. Any other ideas?
I initially turned Google Now on. I hated it so I turned it off but now when I wake my Nexus 7 up the screen comes up even though it is turned off. How do I get it to open to the regular home screen? Thanks in advance!

It happens no matter which direction I swipe.
Disable Google Search
Will the next nexus have a longer screen?
Maybe you can just go into the Settings > Lock Screen > Slider Shortcuts: Then add the shortcuts that you want? (Removing the previous shortcuts in the process) Or maybe disable the lock screen.
OR, you could uninstall Google search, if your N7 is rooted. You might even be able to just clear the data/cache of the Google search app. At that point it shouldn't be enabled anymore.
Hope that helps.
Can anyone else confirm that while the phone is locked, you can double-click the home button to launch the camera, wait a few seconds, hit the back button, and the homescreen will appear without a fingerprint scan or pattern unlock?
Not on mine, I go back to the lock screen.

If you double tap the home button it tries to read your fingerprint while you are doing it.
If you give it the split second to read it, when you back out of the camera your phone is unlocked.
Try the same thing with a finger you have not registered a fingerprint of and you should always go to the lockscreen.
If that is not the issue, check your secure lock timeout settings.
Settings > Quick Settings > Lock screen and security > Secure lock settings > Secured lock time > check that it is set on "Instantly with the power key or when the screen times out"
For some reason Samsung has it set to default lock only after 10 minutes of inactivity.
Not a Security issue. Look a little deeper here.

I'll thank you when your solution isn't to disable a feature I use all the time.
I think it's more likely what the other poster said about my fingerprint being read.
So I'm coming from a pixel where I would get my app notifications to wake and show on my lock screen. When I get an email for example, I get the sound and mynlight will blink but my screen doesn't wake up and show anything til I press the power button.
How can I get them to show without having to press the power button??
Yes, I'd like to know how to do this too! Any ideas anyone?
Currently, the best I can see is that my 'always on screen' will show a small icon to indicate there's a new notification (an email icon for example). Though it does not flash or light up. The icon just displays very discreetly so really you have to look for it. I then need to tap the home button, which reveals the 'pin entry screen'... on this screen I tap the 'back' arrow which displays the full notification. So its two tap to reveal notifications without unlocking the phone.
What I really want is to see notifications flash up on my lock screen before I choose to swipe open the app (using PIN etc). For that reason, face recognition also isn't great as the phone opens past the notifications screen the moment you look at it!
Have just moved from an iphone. currently this is the only real con, otherwise amazing upgrade!
Did anyone figure this out?

It isn't probably answering your question, but might help. I don't know if you have set a setting under: settings>display>navigation bar and then check out "unlock with home button", it will at least not require you to press power button, but just a home button. I just press home button and it shows my lock screen and any notifications I may have.
1) So when you set unlock with home button to ON, then your phone will go straight to home screen(if phone isn't locked with a code) when you press this home button.
2) If you turn off that feature, then, when you press home button, then your phone will show lock screen first regardless if your phone is locked or unlocked.
Hi,
I'd also like to have my s8 screen to wake upon receiving notifications (whatsapp messages, emails, etc).
I switch off the AOD feature and would love to see a preview of notifications when i receive them without having to reach out for my phone.
Coming from the iphone, I'm so used to just glance at it and see if its an important message or something that can wait. I find this feature very well executed.
The s8 requires me to manually turn on the screen.
Any info? I'm pretty sure its not hidden somewhere in Settings... Probably can't even do this without root or installing additional apps.
Thanks
I have found an easy solution. Simply download and install this app from the playstore.

I knew there was an app somewhere that will do this! Thank you!
Since the Oreo update I used a similar app called "Screen Notifications" which woke the screen on notification, however no longer works since the update.
Anyone got a work around?
Hi.
My Huawei p10 lite doesn't allow to modify the color of the navigation and notification bars when opening any app. Apparently the color is locked (it's a dark orange) and app like navbar are not able to modify in any way the fixed color.
Only when opening "Settings" the bars are white and in home screen, where navigation bar is transparent.
The phone came with a telephone company brand (which logo, by the way, has same basic color of the navigation bar) but other customers I contacted throug socials that got the phone with same conditions from the same brand, seem don't have the issue.
Is there any idea how to unlock the navigation bar color without being root or go through other invasive expedients?
Thanks a lot,
Luca.
This happened to me when I asked Google assistant to turn on power saving mode. I got super annoyed by the orange colour. So I tried telling it to turn it off but it wouldnt, so I scrolled up on my Google assistant history and flipped the switch where it said power saving mode. As soon as I did that the orange was gone.

Thank you, I'm still get along with the orange bars!
Please, may be so kind to illustrate the procedure in detail? I cannot figure out how to enter the google assistant history. By the way, to my knowledge I didn't turned on the power saving mode, unless I did it accidentally.
Thank you for helping me,
Luc.

It only happens when asking Google assistant to turn on power saving mode. Try saying "Ok Google turn on power saving mode" and it might bring up a switch. If it doesnt, then to access what you've said before just say Ok Google or hold your home button then scroll up and keep on scrolling to find a switch. If there is no switch then I have no idea what the orange means.

Note that the orange stripes on the nav and notification bars appear on any app of my phone, except for Settings and home page.
Thanks,
Luc.
Ok, have you tried changing the theme?
If not, then let's start:
1st: Find your themes app.
2nd: Go to the "Me" tab.
3rd: Choose any theme (those on the bottom are downloaded)
4th: Tap on the theme you want and tap apply.
If you have changed the theme then maybe download a theme which changes the navbar? (If I find one I'll try to send it.)
Ok here's one: https://drive.google.com/file/d/15UOMMsz22_4NHnv0Ue2K5h_qxFH3zhvl/view?usp=drivesdk

It doesn't work, the orange is still there, at least applying your file. I've changed few more themes but nothing changed to the colors of the bars... :crying::crying:
Aww man... I don't know what to recommend... Maybe go to your local repair shop and ask?

I'm sure this is probably the Google power saving mode that is enabled. It shouldn't always be enabled, because it usually turns off once your battery is fully charged. Try installing Activity Launcher here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher
Open the app, on the top of the screen, tap on "Recent activities" and choose "All activities".
Scroll down until you find Settings > Battery Saver > Turn on automatically, and choose "Never".
Hopefully this will turn it off. If that fails, I'd suggest making a backup of your data, and doing a factory reset.

EDIT: It would actually be easier just asking Google Assistant to "Turn power saving mode off", and it should be deactivated. Whether you remembered doing it or not, you might as well do it anyway, before you go through all the steps I gave you. [emoji849] Doing what @ianorna said is the easiest method. It's the only way to remove it, and it might just save you from doing a factory reset.

THANKS A LOT.
It was that!
Even though the battery saver was already set on NEVER I tapped again on it and magically the damned orange disappeared!
Now the phone look much better!
Thanks again dude!

I may be late in replying the post but if youre still having the problem theres an easy fix.
the bars are orange because your battery saving mode is on, and no not the huawei battery saving mode, but the native android battery saver, its buried in the settings,
got to
settings>Battery>Battery Uasge graph>Tap to open detailed graph
tap on the three dots button on top right corner> tap battery save>disable!
That should fix this :good: :laugh: :silly:
