Galaxy A7 lite cannot enter pass-code

TxDoc — Wed, 12 Jan 2022 09:05:07 GMT

galaxy a7 lite tablet with backtalk turned on will not let me enter my pass-code.

Everything was perfect. Accidentally turned on Talk Back.

Galaxy a7 lite tablet with backtalk turned on will not let me enter my pass-code. Each press of a number elicits a verbal response of "Bullet...Double tap to activate". And soon the screen times out. Can't proceed at all to log in with pin number.

I made a Samsung account, but my tablet is not listed or registered or showing up under my devices, yet.

Any help is appreciated.

None of those options are available to me.

Never got to set up a remote unlock method such as Find My Mobile or Smart Lock as the tablet is only a few hours old. I can't even restart or turn it off as pressing those buttons does nothing. The buttons have a blue square pop up around them and an announcement of "Bullet...Double tap to activate".

I can't log in, turn off, or restart. No buttons on the screen respond as labelled. I can't move forward, backwards, or sideways.

Hi,
Try Below

Press and hold the Power button and the Volume down button down simultaneously for more than 7 seconds to restart it

That restarted it, but when the keypad appears, I cannot input my pin. The buttons have a blue square pop up around them and an announcement of "Bullet...Double tap to activate". Pounchng in my pin doesn't show anything as being entered or accepted. Another dead end.

I accidentally hit the solution button. Sorry.

Thanks for trying. I appreciate it.

Hey @TxDoc! To make a selection while Voice Assistant/TalkBack is activated, you will need to tap on the icon you are trying to select once to highlight it with the blue circle/box, and then twice in quick succession to confirm the selection. You can turn it off by heading to Settings > Accessibility > TalkBack/Voice Assistant > Off. Hope this helps 🙂
