[Q] Voice notification for Stock Mesaging App - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I started getting a voice notification today for inbound sms on the stock messaging app. I have never received these before and cannot find a setting to turn it off. My phone is on vibrate. Anyone know how I stop this loud ass voice from announcing to everyone that I just received a message?

Anyone? Bueller?

GAH!!! It just happened again. How am I the only one with this issue???

I noticed that in voice command there is an option for announcing your messages in driving mode. Is it possible that this is the cause of the problem? Is that app showing up as running in task manager?

No it's not showing in task manager.
I tried looking in the various setting for "call settings", "sound", "voice input and output", and "dock setting" and can't find anything. There are also no settings listed in the messenger menu.

Same exact thing happened to me 4 or 5 days ago. Out of nowhere it just started yelling who was calling or texting me and it was very annoying.
How I fixed it: settings>voice input and output>text-to-speech settings>uncheck driving mode.
The only thing I can figure is somehow after connecting my phone to my car to play music somehow this driving mode setting got stuck on. But since turning it off I'm back to normal.

Evo texting random garbage instead of alarm going off

My alarms are already spotty at best. I've caught them going off for 1 or 2 seconds and then silencing themselves. This morning I did not hear my alarm go off at all and instead woke up to some very strange text messages I had just sent.
I left Google Voice open last night as I was texting someone and the text window was open. Instead of my alarm going off, a bunch of random garbled text started getting sent out. I don't know if it was the vibration (I never heard the vibration but I could have slept through it) causing buttons to accidentally be hit or if it was some weird redirection of alarm "go off" commands being redirected to the nearest text area.
Has anyone ever experienced anything like this? I notice similar random text messages sometimes waiting as drafts for me after backing up and restoring text messages.
That sucks! Are you running a custom ROM? if so would you by chance be using a 'Vanilla' Lock Screen?

I'm 100% stock unrooted fully updated.
wow, I have absolutely no idea! sorry! I would think it would have to be an app doing that. Can you recreate the issue? if you can, post it and I will try to do it on my phone.
Have you tried using a diffrent alarm app one from the market

I had the same issues with Handcent when I first got my Inc, and couldn't figure out why, and never did. I switched to chompSMS, and haven't had an issue since. I would love to know why it did that as well...
I have handcent frozen using titanium and still get the second notification... I only don't get it if I freeze the messages app but then I lose mms

I really like Hancent but this notification thing is killing it for me...
Default Messaging app has notifications, auto retreive disabled
Restarted
Wipped phone
I don't get 2 messages, just hear the ring tone two times.
If I disable notifications I only hear one, but then it still vibrates for 3 seconds and I have disabled all vibration.
No other notification vibrates. I swear some of these settings are in here as a tease.
I really love hancent but this may push me to an new app... I can't have this phone vibrating across the table during my meetings.
If you think you can help you can respond here or message me on aim...
Aim name is "Drachnem"

help? Why am I getting dual notification and ringtone sounds???

When I get an email, the sound I selected plays and then a voice says." you have one new email"it does it for both my email accounts. I even turned sound off for notifications and put phone on silent. The voice still plays no matter what I do. when I get a phone call, the selected ringtone will play and then "incoming call from "xxxxx" will interrupt over the ringtone. This just started a few weeks ago. I can't figure it out. I haven't changed or added anything. I also tried to clear cache, dalvik and fix permissions. Im running juggernaut 3.7 on my t989.
Are you in driving mode? Also email has it's own notification options built into the app

stop phone from telling me who sent message

all of the sudden while using go sms pro, when i get a text it does the alert sound but then tells me the name of the person that sent the text? Why does it do this and how do I get it to stop because it is annoying. I installed box today, and updated grooveshark...Those are the only two new things to happen on the phone today before it started doing this.
Turn off driving mode.

Muted? Airplane mode?

If muted there will be a bell with a slash on it. Slide down while on the watch face to mute/unmute.
Airplane mode, say "OK Google, Settings" or tap the face, slide up, second from the last, third from the top.
I had to do a reset and it fixed itself. I think the issue was going out of range multiple times with the htc one m8. I had this same issue with my sony smartwatch 2. It would just eventually not connect anymore and would have to repair. With this watch it had a false connect even though I would unpair it thru the settings and set up the watch in the android wear app. It still didn't do anything. A reset of the watch would fix the issue with the resetup of the watch. I think this is an issue. If the device goes out of range multiple times with a connect and disconnect it eventually stops connecting then reports a false connect.

Edit* Power cycled my phone and now they work again.. weird
Also, make sure under settings->security on the phone that you have notification access enabled for wear.

I can get notifications, but they are silent and only vibrate. Can I adjust this?

The Moto 360 doesn't make noise. On my phone, notifications still act the same with the sound and what not. The watch face for me turns on and vibrates. I have an LG G3
Just had to reset again cause it stopped receiving notifications but showed connected.

When you lose connection with your 360, if you open the Wear app on your phone, does it still say connected? If so, try and reconnect with Android Wear to your 360, does it not reconnect? (This is happening to me)
Try reconnecting on Wear, your 360 may say that you've lost connection (Cloud with a slash icon). Try reconnecting again from the Wear app, if that doesn't work, try repairing your 360, that should work. (4/5 times it works for me)
Resetting does seem to work as well, I did it yesterday and went 16 hours without a disconnect, previous day was 7 in 6 hours. But this morning I walked away from my 360 with my phone and lost connection and it started disconnecting again.
Q: What ROM are you using with your One?
Just got mine today and it's disconnected twice on me already. Although it says its connected I don't get notifications. Hope we can get some insight into this.
