Talking phone

Just before I upgraded to a s7 edge a couple of months back.

I was using an S5 although not everyone liked the all plastic design

IT was my first real smart phone on contract and I loved it for it's features (I do miss air browse)

Another feature that I started using as it only came in the last couple of months of using it.

IT would read out what things like the reason I had set alarms for or calender events 

Now I don't mean the accessibility settings(that's a story itself) were it reads out everything on screen.and you get the green dots all over the place

this one was quite usefull.

I mean just calender events, appointments or alarms. 

I've been trying to get my s7 edge to do the same but have only had a quick look in accessibility.

But that menu frightens the life out of me

When I first tried it in my S5 a couple of years back I was stuck there for 2 days with this horrible American accent repeating every action I interacted with funny now absolute nightmare at the time. 

Is there a safe way to do this with the s7 or has Samsung dropped it

Hey @SKYMAN513

 

No Sumsung is not dropping the phone. They have done a huge update, which has changed the phone in may ways. However thought this update was better than the old set up, its hugely mistaken. 

You should still be able to do the things you want on your phone, the problem is where to find them and usually you need to set it back up again.

If you can tell me what you exactly done on your S7 before the update, (What apps / features etc you used) I will find it for you and let you know where you can find it in your phone.

 

Yes for the record the new Samsung Update is totally bonkers!

A factory reset does NOT void your warranty. Flashing it with a different rom or rooting the phone will but not a factory reset.

Sorry about the couple of times I mentioned the factory reset.I have had typing issues and as my phone was being bombarded with emails (my own fault)I turned it off so I do it manually and when I check my notifications say if I have 3 different replys the other 2 disappears so I lose track of were I'm up to.once I have my device is sorted.I am going to see if I can have all my posts removed.(I find them hard to read myself)

I spoke to a team member yesterday and my main problem may have been sorted

Its too early to tell I have to do it correctly  but I did ask if I could have the majority of posts removed as most are not really helpfull to any one else.

Just wanted to say I am  checking my notifications but depending on the mood of my device I am finding answers were I have missed them or they are just showing up or I could be doing somethings wrong but definitely not all of them 

The last thing I want to do is insult any one.
