Stagefright exploit - How to disable Hangouts? - Xperia Z3 Compact Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is there any way to disable Hangouts with locked BL? Seems like I can only downgrade to the preinstalled version.

Thank you. I tried to disable it instead of force stopping.

I think that if you are not using Google Hangouts as your default SMS app (I never have), this is not an issue for the stagefright exploit.

Playstore not working

Hi! all. My playstore is not working. When i launch playstore, it doesn't load anything just the dark grey background with the message "No Connection RETRY". When i click retry, the screen just flash white quickly & return to the same screen. I tried to randomly search for an app but nothing comes out. I noticed that the option "My Apps" is also missing. Any idea how to fix this?
is it rooted?

Make sure when you launch it you have fully working data connection or wifi.
If it doesn't work, settings> apps >all> Google play store and clear cache and data. And try again.

Uninstall the the play store updates? Or try finding a play store apk and go from there? If not
Then do a full wipe and repair with Sony update service. So odd that only this app is having issues.

Download it from PlayStation website, i did that, and install it by transfering APK file to your phone, than run it.
Of course, before that delete existing app.

A new play store apk was uploaded some where in one of the xda forums two weeks ago. Head over there and see if you can get that one installed. May fix the problem.

Did you disable background data for it? It might complain if that is turned off.
Are you from Belgium?

Have you installed any hacking mods installed that are connected to in-app purchases? If so, please remove them!

How?! I'm having this very problem right now

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

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.

Can I disable message app if using a replacement?

I want to make sure my stock messaging app isn't drawing any resources.
Can I disable it without any issues if I'm using Textra?

I use Handsent with my Xt1080 while stock is disabled. No problems on the latest KK build.
Be sure you are happy with an alternative first then disable.

you cant disable the stock messaging app as its faded out. As long as u have the messaging app you want to use set up as default it be ok.
Some of the services are needed elsewhere, if you remove it you will find some (maybe all?) SMS apps on the play store also leverage those services and they wont work or at least that was my experience. I read some time ago this is also why the roms always have at least the AOSP texting app on board, maybe one of the smart people will come along and set me (us) straight.

Anyone running greenify?

Every time I try to use the app it causes the tablet to reboot randomly. If the module is activated in xposed and I install a new app, from play store or somewhere else, when I open the app it immediately restarts the system.
I'm using the latest stable version from play store with the donation package.

Oh... when you unlocked it you forced flash the phone so you lost your newer Google services framework. If you do not see it as an install on the Play Store try loading the latest off the mirror https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/google-inc/google-play-services/

Yes it was an account issue, after root I used a different account as my primary. Im guessing it was still beta and only some accounts have access to the feature
