Speak Now app as default. - LG G Watch R

On the old O.S. for this watch, when i tapped the screen I got the 'speak now' app which allowed me to easily navigate or get information while driving. Now, after the upgrade, i get the app drawer and have to scroll the 3rd page to get to it. Not very convenient. Anyone know how to set the speak now back to the default?
thanks

This works, just not as well and as fast. hopefully someone hacks it to make it default again.

Application menu organization

This seems like a dumb question but I haven't figured it out yet.
,
As you install appz, they get dropped into the appz menu in chronological order. Also the pages aren't full, before the next page gets added.
How do you fill in the open spots and get them in alphabetical order?
Open your applications, press menu button and then edit. You will be able to arrange your applications any way you like. There is also an option to create folders.

There's no way to do this automagically?
I have a ton of appz and want them to be alphabetical and every new app to be alphabetical.
The GSII Skyrocket does this??
I had the same problem too. Was a pain in the rear end. Until I found appzorter from the market. Works like a charm!!

Hit the 3 lines on the top left, scroll down to App Settings.
With the new fb update there is no 3 button. You have to goto app setting on the list on the left

How the hell do u get the stock calculator app to shut up!?

The phone says out loud everything I press, it's sooo annoying. Talk Back feature isnt enabled. I actually use the calculator on my phone alot this sucks. Any help is appreciated
Sent from my SM-N910T using XDA Free mobile app
That sounds hilarious, sorry. As far as I saw, the only options for talking were in the extended options of language and input in settings. I'll dig around and see if I can find something. I'll definitely want it disabled myself.
I noticed this today at the worst possible time in a middle of a meeting. Can't find an option to turn it off.
Went through there as well ,unless I'm not checking something correctly... could you check your calculator app and tell me if your having the same problem?
Just got this phone and never messed around with any of thoose kind of settings anyways.

Yeah. Never tried it before
Did you give any app pemissions in accessibility. If you did read this image i attached. When you give some apps permission Samsung has some issues sometimes with the voice kicking on but Samsung actually had a work around built right into the phone.
Have recreated your problem just do the work around which the phone does for you.

This is how I shut off mine. Under Accessibility if you have anything under Services, turn them off. I had Greenify on and it made my calculator talk, but once I shut it off, calculator stopped talking. Hope it helps.
Found this page with people having same issue. Seems like tmobile and att is the pattern. Tmobile here. Greenify not installed. Double checked all my settings too.

You have to click on the settings button thats below whatever app you would have given permission look at my pic i posted you will see the settings listed at the bottom but since you say you didn't do that then there is no workaround. Did you turn on a app you didn't necessarily had to do it in accessibility some apps will just do it automatically. Can you tell me what apps you may have installed that help with battery or after market lockscreen just anything you can think of

I activated then stop greenify.it's still a talking calculator ! I don't know what I'm missing here.

Alright got it to finally shut up ! I cleared cache and data on the calculator app then I started getting a notification for the workaround from Greenify I guess . Whatever, it's done now and thank you guys ! What caused all this on a out of the box new note 4? It should have been easier than all that

Neither
NOTE 4
On my phone, it was caused by activating Greenify in the accessibility settings. When I did that, I got a popup telling me that my default language didn't match TTS. It offered me options of canceling, going to settings, or enabling TalkBack. So, for some reason, activating Greenify activates TalkBack. Voila. Talking calculator.

Am I the only one that hates the lack of swipe up to Google now

I like android 6.0 its fast, reliable and now on tap is great but I have become accustomed to swiping up to check my Google now, and I don't understand why it's gone. Can you not use now on tap and the swipe to Google now, I used to just swipe up check the weather, traffic or whatever I needed but now I have to hold it down wait for it to search a screen I don't care about then tap the Google now square or I have to go find the app. I'm sorry but I seriously hate it its terrible.

I don't know I have never had that problem maybe that's why they changed it, I feel like other people that actually use Google now and not just the search feature would miss it.

Agree, was confused when I tried swiping up, tap and hold takes much longer in my opinion than the previous swipe up
I am using nova launcher and I have set it up so swipe up will bring up google now, this way I don't miss it...

Snap.
But I think it only works from a NL screen, not while in an app.

Stock Phone App - Display only contacts with Numbers - Possible to run the old app?

Hello all,
Back in KitKat (I think), google's default app for phone/contacts had the option to only display contacts with numbers. (great idea!)
For reasons beyond anything I can imagine, they stupidly removed this feature. (Horribly stupid idea...sigh)
Is it possible to run the older phone app/contacts app on newer roms? 7.0?
I like the stock app. Fantastic app, excepting for the horrible stupid decision to break needed functionality by Google.
Thoughts? Options? Ideas?
Thanks!
Just a thought you could find the apk from KitKat and then install that. If it works. Use something like titanium backup and long press on the app from within TB and select remove market link. This should prevent the app from auto updating. Haven't tried it but i agree. The contact with phone numbers only was great.

Thanks for the direction. I'm a technical user, so I can chase this down. Why would they remove it?
