Turn off text to speech when calling - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

When someone calls me, the phone will say something something is calling you. How do I turn the voice off? It also starts talking when I set an alarm and it goes off.
I also have an issue where sometimes I go to the call log and tap on an entry but nothing happens. It gets highlighted and make a tapping noise, but I can't open the entry nor call the person by pushing the little green call button. The issue goes away after a short time. Dunno what causes it.

The voice is because driving mode is enabled. Disable it and it should go away.

Recent calls, and making calls

Just curious has anyone else had an issue when unlocking the phone and gonig into "PHONE" and clicking on someone's number and the phone does nothing? It highlights the name but doesn't call. When you back out or go home, the caller ID will pop up and shut off and kick you back to the PHONE menu..?
Seems it's a bug. It happens randomly too, but when it happens it's annoying.

[Q] Any way to stop going to call log after call?

On my Droid Incredible/Gingerbread I could configure whether the phone went to the call log or not after a call, but my Galaxy Nexus 4.0.2 always goes to the call log - this is especially annoying when I'm using the phone to navigate and get a call, when the call ends you don't just go back to the navigation. Anyone see a way to configure this that I missed?
Definitely interested in this as well
There is an app called "Not Call Log" which can take you to the home screen, dialer or open an app after hanging up. If you use Tasker, you can also set it to do anything with a "phone idle" condition (that may not make sense if you're not familiar with tasker).

Even though the call log appears, i believe the activity stack is is still maintained meaning after your call ends just press back twice, the second leaves the call log back to your prior activity.

Calls randomly mute when I accidentally leave the ongoing call/phone app screen?

It seems that sometimes my calls get muted when my phone leaves the on-going call screen and switches to a something else/a different app.
Hopefully that makes sense, but I'm not even sure how/when it happens so it's difficult to describe. But basically, randomly, when I'm on a call the other person won't be able hear me. Every time this happens when I look at the screen I'm no longer in the phone app/on-going call screen. Once I swiped down on the notification menu and re-enter the ongoing call they can hear me again.
I've tried to duplicate the behavior by switching apps but can't seem to do so...Has anyone else experienced this? I'm wondering if it has something do with the the automatic do-not-disturb that enables during calls...?
Thanks

That's weird, I did never face this issue but my A2L is relatively new (1 week only).
I'll try to phone to my own A2L using different devices to see if I face this issue.

Yes, it is very weird and annoying. Not happens every time, but sometimes... ?
This happened to me yesterday for the first time, but I thought that was a problem of the person that was calling me.
It was a number I didn't have in my contacts, and after the bug I immediately called back that number, but it was not available.
I thought the person that was calling me had a very low battery charge and while calling me his phone turned off, causing the bug (because immediately after the bug it was unavailable).
To this date I still did not have this problem.
Me too, i cant answer and reject calls when i upgrade to android pie
Solved: Screen not turning on with incoming calls
Step 1: Go to Dialer or Phone app settings. To do so, you can either go to main settings, then open ‘Apps’, and then scroll down to Dialer or Phone App.
You can also access App Info page by long pressing the app icon, and then tapping the App info option or the small ‘i’ icon in the corner.
Step 2: Now select “App notifications” option and turn it "on"
Step 3: Now if App notifications are turned off, your display won’t wake up when someone calls you. Also if only the “Incoming calls” permission is off, your screen will not light up with incoming calls. Make sure required permissions are turned on and your issue will be fixed.
Xiaomi Mi 2 Lite. I cannot get incoming calls to show on my screen, so I can't answer. Tried switching notifications off and on again, tried forcing stop. Two days ago I did a factory reset and was OK for 2 days. I think this is since latest Android update about a 10 days ago.
Call answer bug
I have similar issue on Mi A1, been going for a while. Sometimes, call comes in, the answer key cannot pick and cannot reject the call. This happened after a certain update I just dont know which. I have noticed that this mostly happens at some particular GSM antennas, sometimes, just by moving away from that antenna (that's when in a car) solves the problem. But as long as I remained in that location at that time, i cannot pick or reject calls, I also can't make calls, I get the promt, network problem, even though the service bars r showing. And in some cases the people calling will tell me, that calls to me are not going through.
This is driving me nuts. When I get a phone call I get a bar at the top of the screen with two buttone, one saying Decline and the other sayng Answer. I can tap on it like a demented woodpecker, but nothing happens. If Itry to swipe it, the two buttons just disappear into a void and the phone keeps ringing with no way to answer. Very, very occasionally I get the normal notification that I can swipe to answer, but I have to phone nearly everybody back.

Clear data and cache of the "phone" App and if necessary reinstall the application

Screen does not turn on when phone rings

When I get a phone call the screen does not turn on and I have to press the phone button to answer it. I tried installing the Google Dialer, then switched back to stock so not sure if that messed it up. Also, idk why but all my apps are asking for permissions again.
I'm pretty sure the screen should always turn on for incoming calls? I normally leave on DND with exceptions for calls from contacts.
