My phone keeps talking to me when on my home screens saying folder is open or similar. Why is that?
This seems to be an ICS/Samsung bug. It happens for some people and also with other apps that use the accessibility service such as Tasker, Llama and others.
Try the following that I've just been posted someone has tried:
For those who wants to try it do the following with your Samsung S3: - Go to Settings -> Accessibility -> Talkback "ON" - Select "Settings" from the bottom of the page - Uncheck all Talkback options - Switch Talkback "Off" again - Go back to Settings -> Application manager -> All - Disable Google TTS (text to speech) - Disable Samsung TTS (text to speech)
I've reported this to Samsung's research and development team and I've been told their development team is looking into it.
It doesn't happen with phones on ICS from other manufacturers. This is currently been looked into by samsung, see here
