A little help please. - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

I've been trying to figure it out and I didn't want to resort to creating a new thread but I need help. This may sound silly but how can you turn off the voice when somebody calls or text. I don't like it when they say the name of whose calling or texting. Its killing me that I can't figure it out so any help is appreciated. THANKS!

I think you have driving mode enabled. Turn it off in voice talk application.

Voice calls always answer with speaker phone on

When not using Bluetooth my voice calls always answer with speaker phone on. How do I default the calls to SP off? I've searched and found a few ideas but none work.
Os this a Goolgle voice thing or related to my ROM? I use Caulkin and I have had this issue for aqhile.

Do you use GV to make & receive calls? Is your phone paired with your GV account, or do you simply use GV for voicemail?
I just use GV for voice mail.

hmm...never thought of that. ****s super annoying!!!
Nope, no Voxer. I'm not even sure when the problem started. It could have been before I started using Google Voice for voice mail (integrated with Sprint).
I haven't found any GV settings that would enable the speaker phone on the phone.

There is a GV setting for answering with speaker on. If your phone is integrated, it might be forcing your phone. Try changing that setting or even freezing GV and see if anything changes
I have this issue too wether I have apps or not installed and even b4 I rooted. I think it's a glitch with the phone itself. It's annoying! It doesn't always do it but when it does it looks stupid that I got the phone to my ear and then the person bust out on the speaker smh

Is it possible your phones are in car mode or the "Driving Mode" that the Samsung version of Vlingo installs? I think one of the car mode features is to automatically answer calls in speakerphone mode.

My driving mode is never on. It just does it idk y.. Maybe it saves the last calls setting so if you hang up on speakerphone the next call comes thru on it. Idk but I will test it out tomorrow and see.

I know this is months late, but my wife's phone just randomly started doing this. Go to voice talk in apps tray, then hit menu button, then scroll down to voice talk settings, then disable auto speaker on answer.
This just worked for us. Just in case anyone else comes looking for the answer.

How can i write down a number while talking on the phone?

Exactly what the title says. I'm running aokp m3 and i recently found a little icon to the right in the dialer to add a contact during a call. Problem is i don't always want to add a contact, just save a number temporarily. And if i press it, my mic also mutes. So the person i'm talking to can't hear me.
Any easy way to do this?

A pen and piece of paper should suit you well.

I just add an entry to my calendar or start composing an email. I suppose you could find some kind of notepad in the market.
I had a similar problem and solved it with a free note app from Market.

You're welcome. Logical answers can be funny at times, I guess.

Well. I suppose you always have a pen and paper even on the subway, for instance or walking down the street. I guess trolling is all the rage nowadays.
On topic. On my old nokia whatever i wrote in the dialer remained even after ending the call. Not the case here. So if someone tells me a number on the phone i have to memorize it and dial it after ending the call.

SMS app, email app, any notepad app, a tattoo gun and your arm.
Edit: if you absolutely must use your dialer then just use the "add to contacts" button to save it before you end the call.

I wasn't trolling, I was being serious. I have to take numbers all the time, so I keep a pen and a pocket notepad on me. If you find taking numbers down on your phone to be a problem, carry a pocket notepad and pen on you.

The reason i wanted to use the dialer is because every time i exit the dialer during a call my microphone mutes automaticaly and i can't ask/confirm with whoever i'm speaking with.
And this doesn't happen to me often enough to warrant carrying a pen and paper all the time. + i would most certainly forget them anyway either home or somewhere else.
Thanks for the replies, guys.
I think you have a software issue cause my mic does not mute like that. I just copy the number and paste it into a draft text or email for later.
Call writer app will do the trick

With call writer you can easily write down the number as a text note and save it.When you click the number it automatically dials it and you can also save it.

Problems receiving calls?

Im not even sure where the problem is, but my phone rarely is able to call my wifes phone, I have the gn2n she has a moto photon, she often times gets a busy signal, before a call goes through and when I call her it just rings and goes to voice mail, she never even gets ac missed call. everyone else's phones seem to work done as far as I know.
Any one have any insight to what causing or our problem?
I have the same problem as I have the note 2 and my friend has the s3 and he says when he call me it always go to voice mail
I have this problem as well, but it started before the GN2. Sprint really is getting unusable.
Do any of you guys use Google voice? I couldn't call out to many numbers, just got a busy signal. Had to disable the Google voice integration and the tech told me she had to disable it on her end too.

Did the fix the issue once disabling the google voice integration? If it didnt then im getting this phone on tmobile cause i think its a sprint issue.
Sprint tells me that this phone "might not be compatible" with Google voice. I don't buy that, but I haven't reenabled it since the issue I had.

Answering calls on AT&T w/Google Voice

My GF has an AT&T GS3, and is having fits answering calls thru Google Voice. When a call comes in, the phone says the call is from an unknown number and makes her open keyboard and choose to accept the call, and often calls get missed. My I-9300 does not do this, so I figure it is something AT&T has tweaked on phone.
Has anyone else had ths problem? I have looked through everything, and can't find a way to remove the additional step in answering calls.
Thanks!

Log in to Google voice on a pc. In options, uncheck the call screen option. Fixed.

Using voice to answer/ reject calls?

It's got to be in here some place but I cannot find the setting to turn on voice answering or rejecting of incoming calls. All my previous Galaxy phones this was my favorite feature. Did they leave it out? Please tell me that isn't so

I've never used this but I'd be interested in using it while connected to my car.

I loved that feature as well and I believe that functionality was enabled by Google Assistant; but since Samsung switched to Bixby they neglected to put that feature back in
why the hell do they remove useful functions for garbage??
