always talking phone

[Android Question]

HTC first, last night phone starts talking, whenever I tap anything on screen, it tells me what it is, I have to double tap to open whatever I choose, also screen will not slide any direction, leaving me with little control, and having to hear someone telling me what I am doing.

I don't know HTC's interfce, but it should be somewhere in Settings, in Accessibility. What you have turned on is to help blind people or people with limited vision.

Hello, I am the "guest" who started the thread. The problem with accessability is, when I open settings, (or any other time) is my screen won't slide. So I can't slide to that part of settings.

well here's an up date. @Rukbat you were right about it being set for visual impairment. Somehow the "Talkback" option under Accessibility Setting has been checked! So now since my phone screen won't slide or roll, (stopped when this started) I cannot get to the Accessibility setting to change it! Unless.....someone knows how...:smokingsomb: Thanks Rukbat for your input!

Also in Accessibility... be sure font size is set to normal and magnification gestures are off. If your screen is set to auto rotate, turn it sideways to expose the hidden part of the settings.

WOO HOO! Back to normal! Turned sideways, wouldnt show any more down of menu, so I just started rolling my thumbs over screen not letting off. Screen rolled and I got to the accessability settings and was able to turn off "Talkback". Thanks for the help guys!
