Soft button for speaker on Galaxy S6 lite?

[androcubc]

Hello, I cannot find a soft button for the speaker on my tablet. I mean, just a soft botton on the screen to turn the speaker volume up or down. Is there none? Just the hard button on the side of the tablet?
Thanks, androcubc

You probably need to turn on the Accessibility Menu for that: https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/9078941?hl=en

Disaster! I cannot remember what i did exactly after I finally found the Accessibility Menu mentioned in your link but now there is always a voice speaking to me, and I have first to mark anything - say the "power off" button - with a blue frame, then hit it twice to see any effect. All in all, my tablet behaves weird! Can i reset it WITHOUT loosing the apps I installed and all my personal files?

That sounds like TalkBack. Turn that off using the setting here: https://support.google.com/accessibility/android/answer/6007100?sjid=1494451748240622363-NC

Only short relief Following your link, and the links linked to it, suddenly TalkBack was off, albeit the Tab was slow and two items, sort of buttons*, hovered at the right side. trying to get rid of them I switched TalkBack on again, unintentionally. Now the blue framed buttons or menus do not work again, double tap does not work any more. No way to switch off the tablet nor do anything meanigful.
Maybe somebody here has a simple "For Dummies" recipe to get my "Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite 2024 Model SM-P620" into a mode of behaving to me again?

*: One looks like a little camcorder, the other like a piece of paper, but they are very tiny.

Hmm, this can be tricky since your Tab S6 lite will undoubtedly have a different menu structure than my Pixel 7 Pro or Pixel Tablet. When I get back home from work, I could check my Galaxy A32 5G, which is probably more similar to your menu.

For now, are you able to go to your system settings? If so, search for "TalkBack" in the search bar, and see if you can simply toggle that off (which should still keep the Accessibility Menu active). I can do that on my Pixel 7 Pro, at least.

I can also see if @mustang7757 or @Laura Knotek can assist, since they're more familiar with Samsung than I am.

Only thing I can think of is the assistant menu in accessibility settings and if OP touch TalkBack you can always reset accessibility in General management menu in settings and start over again otherwise maybe an app 3rd party and maybe use it's widget on home screen to get the on screen button

Thank you all! Somehow I managed to get to SETTINGS and switch TALKBAK off. Everything seems to work smoothly as before, except for these two xperennial floating buttons (camcorder and rectangular speech balloon)onthe right side of the s reen, see screenshot above. How can I get rid of them, please?

Can you try reposting the screenshot? It didn't show up properly.

Finally got rid of those buttons: somehow I stumbled into a subsettings menu where I could unmark actions for these buttons. This disappeared them! But I would never again try to find softbuttons to adjust the speaker volume! Once bitten, twice shy

Sorry for the hassle! But does it ultimately work for your purposes?

Yes, I am fine, thank you! It was a good learning experience

Awesome

Like I mentioned if in the future you can't figure out what you touched in accessibility settings u can reset what you did in General management settings by reset accessibility and start over again.

Two solutions (or workarounds) for this:
1) When I play a video with media player I can use screenswipes to adjust speaker level
2) I've bought a simple FINTIE keyboard cover for my tablet. And it has the same function keys for speaker control as my laptop

Sorry, it is called "Video Player" (not media player) on my machine.
