Every incoming call and text speaks out an annoying 'incoming call' or 'incoming message'.
I don't know what she activated on her phone, but I can't shut it off.
It's rooted, de-bloated and still on the stock ROM.
Check to see if you have driving mode enabled. It's under settings > voice input and output > text to speech settings.

Sounds like you have accessibility turned on.
go to settings/accessibility/ and uncheck accessibility.
Driving mode is also another possibility as raquel13 said.

as they said sounds like driving mode or accessibility settings. if not try resetting to factory settings. that should clear out those options. but id do that as a last resort type thing.
personally i love that feature
i know it annoys the hell out of some people, but is very convenient for me when i'm busy working or driving
so people finds it really cool, and some other will find it really annoying
Thanks!
I kept freezing apps. Thought I had it, but it just wouldn't shut up!
I just had some hands on time with GS2.
I couldn't get into Voice input-output/Text to speech to disable driving mode because it just kept crashing.
I unfroze a few apps and finally solved it. I think unfreezing System Manager did the trick.
Thanks for the help.

Somehow I or an app or a setting has changed and all of a sudden every incoming call is being announced with an annoying (and loud) "Call from" in addition to the ringtone.
I have searched all over XDA and Google and found lot of people saying it is driving mode (turned off), but I have checked that and it is not set to do this, but it still it does the announcement.
I'd like to figure out what is causing this and turn it off -- any ideas?
Thank you in advance,
Kevin
Hmmm...do you have any apps related to the dialer, phone, contacts, or anything?
I assume you've tried restarting?
And, this is where you checked for driving mode, right? In Settings -> Language and Input -> Text-to-speech output -> Driving Mode is set to off?

I'll look back over my apps I've either tinkered with recently or installed.
I did confirm driving mode is off, but I decided to turn it on to see what would happen and I get two voice announcements. One says "incoming call from" answer the one I can't get rid of says "call from" in a slightly different voice. The one that says incoming is the one that is controlled by driving mode.
Thanks

This has been driving me crazy for days!
If you have Robin installed - this is the culprit. Go into the apps setting and turn off caller I'd!
Hope this helps...

Yeah, I guess it set it automatically on the latest update... Very annoying!

Having an issue with go sms pro which i'm sure some have had before; there is no vibration with notifications.
Now this is being caused because for some odd reason, system vibration is turned off, or so go sms says. There is no option in ANYWHERE to enable vibration in stock TW. I was able to fix this problem with my s3 by downloading a program called audiomanager, and setting it from within there, but as of new versions of this program, there doesn't seem to be an option for it in the free version.
So i come to you in a time of need. How in the world do i enable system vibration?! :crying:
Saw this on the tmobile website. Hope it helps:

If you go into messages>menu>settings>scroll down to notifications setting and make sure vibrate is checked...... The phone will vibrate even when you are in sound mode. I cant figure out how to make it vibrate only in vibrate mode for messages. Hope this helps!!!

I assume you're talking about default messaging app, and it only works for itself. If i want to use another app like go sms, i'd need to uncheck notifications in that little area, also disabling vibration.
There is a master setting that needs to be enabled for it to work in go sms, but it's no where to be found.

Did you check under setting>my device>sound>vibration intensity ?
Gonna revive this old thread for anyone who is interested in this fix.
I've tried everything in this thread and nothing worked. I decided to go to the play store and search "system settings" in hopes that someone might have made an extended settings app for this reason. I came across an app called "Smart Settings". This app allows you to create custom profiles that have an on/off toggle for notification vibration; something current touchwiz versions, if not all android versions lack. All you need to do is create a custom profile with notification vibration set to on, enable, then uninstall. There's no other app or system option that will allow you to toggle the master notification vibration setting, so 3rd party apps like gosms will work flawlessly. Switching between built in vibrate only and sound on profiles do not effect the master system vibration option.
I hope this helps anyone with this issue. It was a pain in the ass to find something that actually worked.

Success! Thanks so much, there was an app I had used ages ago that did the same thing but then they made it pro only. I didn't uninstall but froze through Titanium Backup so it's there when I get flash happy and need to restore the vibrate. Now I won't miss all my damn texts.
Glad this helped at least one person out.

I'm currently out of my coverage area so the "searching for available network?" alert keeps popping up every 10-30 seconds. This is driving me craxy, I've tried disabling all alerts and even enabling airplane mode. I can't seem to find anyone with this problem, so I'm assuming I'm just missing a simple solution. I'm currently rooted with stock rom on 4.1.2.
If there is no way to disable this pop up, is there some way I can at least make it think there is signal so it stops popping up? The alert has increased to every second. I can't even manage to type 2 words before the pop up blocks the screen and disables the keyboard.
That sounds annoying! Try this..
-Go to phone dialer and dial #*#*4636*#*#
-Select "Device Information"
-Scroll down and press the button "Turn off Radio"
Does that do the trick?

It was just a lil off that's why you didn't get the menu. But he was right! It's input this way *#*#4636#*#*
Most codes start with the star* first.

Thanks that works, but turning off the radio doesn't disable the pop up. I just connected to Rogers (I'm in CAN atm) and disabled roaming. So there's no pop ups while I'm their coverage. I still can't believe there's no way to disable that pop up.
Remove the Sim card! this will fix the problem

Simply remove the Sim card! This will fix the problem. When there is no sim card, the phone will not search for network, hence you will not get this error.
I simply removed the sim card, rebooted the phone, and tada, when I am flying on airplanes, and ofcourse there is not network coverage there, I can finally use the phone for games, music, etc, without this annoying message poping up every 30 seconds or so.
I have this EXACT same problem. I first noticed it after I turned on WiFi calling. This is not a mild annoyance. It's happening so often that it's rendering my phone nearly unusable. If anybody has any ideas I'd love to hear them. It also only started happening after I updated to Android 9.
I hated this so much on the S10, because it would interrupt games, apps, everything (and my network coverage sometimes flipped from 1 bar to 0, so I was seeing this 20-30 times a minute) but I found a solution that has worked for me so far (I've definitely seen my network transition to Emergency calls only without popping this up). Fair warning, I don't know what other consequences this had, but basically, I went to Settings -> Apps -> triple dot menu -> Special access -> Appear on top -> Show system apps -> (then I went through a bunch of apps that I thought could be the culprit, and turned them off. That included the phone apps). I've tested to make sure that if someone calls me I still get notifications (audio if phone volume isn't vibrate/mute, and full screen popup if I'm in another app). For completeness, I also went through the system apps in Settings-> Apps and turned all their notifications to silent and minimized, but as far as I can tell, that didn't help. I haven't gone back and turned stuff back on, because I never want to have this happen again.
Earlier today I purchased the galaxy gear watch & ever since I paired my device every time I use my browser it says "page loading" I even went into settings in the accessibilities turned off all audio features turned off talkback & it still talking driving me crazy..

I was only able to shut it off by actually shutting the talk back engine using titanium. In titanium go to "freeze apps" and freeze "samsung text-to-speech engine." Of course when you do this, your phone will never be able to talk back. I am sure there are other ways to do it, but this is what I could come up with.

Yep, that's really annoying when using the stock browser! For some reason sammy took out the Google TTS options.
Here's the 2 options to avoid the annoying audio feedbakcks:
1, install Google TTS, here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2472959
2. Chrome browser.

This has been happening since the s3. Anytime you have anything under accessibility on, the phone starts talking. Samsung has been notified of this and have yet to fix it.

From my phone I selected Samsung Galaxy Gear on the pull down menu. Then My Apps / Installed Apps / FBQuickview / settings.
Then in Set Accessibility turned off Receive Notifications.
Pity it stuffs up the Facebook notifications on your new watch but it stops that awful voice over TTS , Talkback which plays even if it's turned off.
Potentially related. Tts enabled in stock browser out of box. Changing this from the settings menu did nothing. To disable tts in browser I had to enable the accessibility shortcut via the power key. I noticed that even though talkback was off in settings. the shortcut on the power Key menu showed that it was on. when pressed from this menu,it turns on tts. When pressed again, it turns off tts and then it finally shows in this menu that tts is off. The browser then will not use tts. I then hard reset the device and Verified this procedure a second time. Problem solved with no third party software.
If the screen is not visible, when I say "OK Google" there is no audible tone to say she is listening, is there a setting to turn this on?
I just experienced the same today.

Are you sure you are not connected to a bluetooth device?
That was the only time I had this issue... When in my car, bluetooth connected, I would not get any audio feedback. Realized it was coming via bluetooth and disconnected.
Good luck and let us know!

No, I have Bluetooth turned off. The only feedback I get from Assistant is a very slight vibration and the on-screen animation of the 4 colored dots. What sort of notification do you get?
Thanks.
This is normal and frankly welcomed lol the crackling beep that would previously sound off was not appealing.

Ran into the same exact problem.... when I first got the phone it would make a noise to notify you it's listening after saying "OK google". For some reason even with the volume all the way up and everything turned on (voice set to 'on', rather than hands-free) it no longer makes any noise or responds, only a slight vibrate.
I called tech support and they told me this is not normal (duh), and had me factory reset... same thing, it persists... so they are mailing me a new phone.

It's a bug. If you go to Settings>Accessibility>Switch Access> and turn it ON the audible tone will return. I've talked with support and gotten nowhere.

Yep, It drove me crazy too. I do know that activating switch access solved the audible notification issue, but it adds another. Check out your camera while switch access is activated. There are added zoom and 5 second burst options. I just hope they get this bug worked out.

So I figured out if you disable the talkback app it kills both talkback and switch access under accessibility, which seems to fix it as well!
And that explains those buttons in camera lol.. was wondering why those randomly kept popping up. Even with switch access disabled I was randomly getting them...
EDIT- Nevermind, it only works after you disabled talkback if switch access was on when you disabled talkback, and only until you reboot. So it must leave a service running even after disabling talkback. So I guess we're stuck with it on...

lol gdi... now it ding's twice if you say 'ok google' when the screen is off....
THESE ARE STUPID PROBLEMS TO HAVE GOOGLE...
After first day of using my phone I noticed that assistant wasn't making confirmation tone after I would say Okay Google.
Today someone on the pixel Facebook group just happened to mention it and offered Google advice on how to fix it.
Go to settings > accessibility > enable "switch access".
Mine works now, how about yours?
From what I've read on other forums, enabling Switch Access also puts play controls on your YouTube screen (it is an accessibility helper after all). I'd rather have no Assistant acknowledgement tone than put up with those controls on my screen.
Has anyone found an actual solution to this problem yet? Its been a few months now.
Ok, we need to get this straight. The beep was removed by Google intentionally, so it's not a bug. Since they consider this a "feature", there will not be a way to "fix" it. Next, the Switch Access is NOT a fix. It's a workaround. And, just like many workarounds, it solves one problem and gives you another -- in my case, my volume control no longer work.
