Ok now press the Application button (Circle with 6 dots) so that the green square will appear. Then double tap it. 

  1. Then, touch the "Settings" symbol once, then double-tap it to open it up.
  2. Use two fingers to scroll down to "Accessibility" and press it once, then double-tap to open.
  3. Then, press once on "TalkBack" and double-tap it.
  4. And once on the "On/Off" switch, and double-tap.
  5. Then do the same for "OK" and you should be good to go.

Please let me know what happen. I'll wait here for the result
