Hubby didn't take his Tablet when we went on hols.
Since returning it's had times when he's not been able to get an internet connection.
At first we thought it was our WIFI as my pc was acting up as well - eventually we lost all internet connection and I had to call Talk Talk.
I won't go into that saga! >:(
Eventually we were re-connected but both hubbies phone and tablet have times when although my pc is ok he can't get internet access.
Had lots of probs today with his tablet but I re-set it and eventually got a connection.
Once switched off I tried again - and no connection.
Next prob is (wait for it) I was trolling through his settings and saw a 'talk' setting for people who don't see very well
Thought it would be a good idea as hubby has a cataract on one eye
Can't get the flipping this off!!
Everything I touch this bloody woman speaks tell me what it is - but won't let me back into the tablet!
Not sure if the connection is something to do with what T/T did whilst getting it back on???
As for the speaking woman AAARRRRHGGGGGG.
It's currently on charge to see if it will clear it - it won't even let me switch it off?????
Any ideas?

Without actually having the tablet in my hands, It's very hard to answer your post. My tablet is so different to yours.
Unless you can give a bit more specific info, were stuck with google searches for answers cos I personally don't have one.
Any luck with this google search http://lmgtfy.com/?q=disable+talk+setting+tablet (http://lmgtfy.com/?q=disable+talk+setting+tablet)
Again, I'm not being smart with the 'lmgtfy' link. I'm sure you realise that. I just like its features ;)

Thanks Fly, have looked on the net at the nexus hand book before posting - it tells me nowt about getting out of it.
I found one or two links with the link you sent me - but none of the suggestions work
I just can't get into to settings to turn it off >:(
-
Unless there's loads of stuff on it you want to save or backup. Factory reset. Only option !
-
Or get an iPad... :P
-
can't get into it to re-set it or would have done it >:(
Pain in the butt >:(

Or get an iPad... :P
Bog orf Pete the Paint - hubbies not got used to the tablet yet - he only had it for Christmas ;D :P

Some of the suggestions are to pinch it with two fingers and tap at the same time ---- tap what for goodness sake!

TABLET FOR SALE 2PENCE =====
GOING
GOING GONE!!
TO SOME IDIOT WHO FINKS IT'S A BARGAIN
-
I'm sure I can arrange to pick it up from you if need be.
2p, bargain !
We'll get this sorted for you OC. Can't be that difficult ::)
-
probably end up in the dust bin before long.
Not sure why it won't work in the settings. I thought once I had got to them it was easy peasy --- not so!!
-
My wifes' tablet used to 'lose' the internet connection after 'waking up' - I changed the settings so that it doesn't disconnect from t'interweb whilst asleep and - so far so good! You could try that :)
-
Ohhh thanks Alsatian I will look into that.
I 'think' I have managed to disabled the talkback - but it was a fight to the death!
My bro managed to get it to reset - but it didn't cancel out the talkback :-? - Gremilns I fear.
Anyway fingers crossed I will be able to sort it completely later - after topping up the tan. :) 8)
-
Getting there by the sounds of it ;)
-
Fly it's been a flipping night mare >:(
I managed to switch the tablet off this morning - wouldn't let me last night
Bro came round later and had a go he managed to get it to reset.
Phew!
Nope it didn't sort it because when I went into it to put hubbies stuff back in - it was still on!!!??? >:(
Anyway more faffing about after bro left and I managed to turn it off - but it was a battle!
It kept flipping back to other things instead of turning it off.
Eventually it obviously gave in (Big Sigh of relief).
Still have to try and sort out why it keeps losing internet connection though, but Alsatian has given me a tip so will look into that.
Anyone out there with a nexus 7 do not go into accessibilty and put on the talkback unless you are really going to use it all the time.
It seems there are many others who have had the same problem

Hi, Sound like there could be a problem with it, If you would like i can take a look at it for you if you drop by the shop. 409 Chatsworth Road, Chesterfield, S40 2DH. We repair lots of things from tablets, Laptops and even GHDs. You can visit our facebook page if you would like dansies. I hope you solve it soon but like i said i am happy to take a look for you.
-
I don't suppose it could just be faulty, maybe you could take it back to the shop were you purchased it let them try it.
-
Handy may have a point OC. Mine is faulty, USB connection, but I bought it off Ebay and the seller has walked.
Nice of johnatdansies to offer to look at it, he didn't mention if the diagnosis was free though.
Are you offering a free diagnosis service to the forum members JAD(johnatdansies) ?
-
Thanks folks but I seem to have sorted it.
It was I think the talkback apps.
Hubby hasn't used it whilst we have been away so will have to wait and see - but it 'was' working ok.
I won't be trying that again!!
ps
johnatdansies - the vacuum cleaner I bought in for repair awhile ago is working great now thanks ;)

It's like Microsoft selling Windows with other pre installed software.
