[Q] How do I turn off the callers name being announced? - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

How do I turn off the callers name being announced?
When my friend calls me it shouts "incoming call from bla bla!"
I used "my backup pro" to copy phone settings across, has this caused a glitch?
Any help appreciated
Cheers

I have tried
Accessibility > Vision > Talkback > Settings (at bottom) > Under Speech Category - Untick Speak Caller ID
Accessibility - vision - talk back - off
Language and input -notification readout - ALL ARE GREYED OUT but CHECKED???
“using voice commands” (call-call settings -answering/ending calls ) OFF
-
None of these things work
the voice is REALLY loud like 100% volume
Any Ideas

I enabled and disabled car mode too
funny thing was the car mode button was missing until i reset the top icons
Did "my Backup Pro" cause these unusual errors?
There was some glitchey odd numbers and stuff in my sent messages log from my backup pro
I just want to get my phone ringing without announcing at full volume

Incoming call vibrate with O2 Plus

I'm using O2 Plus and want the phone to ring and vibrate for incoming calls.
When I go into edit the profile I'm using I only have two options "Vibrate only" which turns the speaker off, and "Vibrate upon receipt of call" which the phone vibrates when I answer the call.
If I go into Start > Settings > Sounds & Notifications > Notifications, some "events" give me the option of Vibrate but "Incoming call" is not one of those events?
So where do I setup ring and vibrate together?
Cheers, marto.
on my jam its there under sounds and notifications. i have it set to ring & vibrate for incoming calls. so i guess your rom doesnt support that. maybe if you install the imate rom which is the one i'm using. 1.12.00 WWE its available on this FTP site. But then again i'm not that familiar with all the tweks for windows mobile ppc so there could be another solution.
Start > Phone > Tools > Options
in the Ring Type dropdown chose "Vibrate and Ring"

Call History

Hello to all, been looking around for some time and have joined the group.
Lots of great information here thanks to everyone sharing their information.
Does anyone know how to set the Call History to default to "all calls" instead of to "missed calls"? Have looked at into the regestry and do not fine anything to change, am I missing something?
Thanks
I did it on my Sprint Touch by going into Call History, i.e.
Start > Programs > Phone
and then tapping on the call history icon, right above 3 on dialpad. Or, bring up cube side with 9 mugshots, or however you want to get to Call History. Then, once into call history, I simply tapped:
Menu > Filter > All Calls
So that a check mark appears in front of All Calls.

Voice Caller ID

Is there an app for voice caller id?

Use MS Voice command.... probably already installed on your phone.
Go to your settings tab then all settings... under the personal tab you should see "Voice Command"
Make sure it's enabled and check what you want to use it with.... ie contacts. once thats done go to notifications and select whatever option you want... probably announce notifications through bluetooth hands free if available or the 3rd option just below that.
Once that is checked when someone calls it will announce their names.
That said, back in the personal settings tab go to the button options and select one of the buttons you can configure to be voice command. That way when you press and hold say, your call button, you'll hear a ding and you can then tell it to call so and so in your contacts or play media, or speak next appointment etc.

Vibration during call

Hi,
I had this problem
I was talking to my friend and another call came in and the phone starts to vibrate :S it was sooooo annoying and the other person did hear clearly that I have a waiting call, it was so embarrassing
Is there's any solution to make the waiting call just beeps or do something unnoticeable
Thanks
Do you have in your phone settings that with an incoming call phone vibrates first before rings? Did not check but perhaps changing that to only ring may help.
Where's that setting exactly ?
(p.s: i dont want to change the whole phone ringing settings I just want to change the way it notifies me when I have incoming waiting phone call)
Go to start/settings/personal/phone.....choose tab phone and change ring type into a setting without vibrate.....
Again did not check myself.....

That doesn't really sound like a solution to me. He wants it to vibrate on a new call but not when he's actually in a call. I can imagine that this is very annoying.
I did a quick search and found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=437279 try Valert 1.21 app.
And let us know if this solves the problem.....
Thanks,
yes Pierreken it's very annoying and so embarrasssing
and @Frank Caarls VAlert ruins my volume keys and I dont think that it has something to do with my problem
Pitty.....although one of the features mentioned is "No vibration on waiting call".....
When you read through the messages it indeed creates a problem with HTCvolume control ......Ochakov needs to make an update
You have to decide which is your worst problem.....
Well I have to admit that I missed the "No vibration on waiting call"
LOL now the question is:
Which you need the most
1-Volume keys
2-Disable vibration on waiting calls
Odd, I just tried calling myself whilst already on the phone, All my mega does is beep quietly.
You can turn off Call Waiting notifications by:
Pressing Start > Settings > Personal > Phone > GSM/UMTS Services
Press Call Waiting, and get the settings, simply press "Do not notify me" and OK
How's that ?
What ROM version do you have ?
and your solution will disable call waiting service (I suppose)

Have that setting aswell in my custom Rom with the option "Notify me".....when I get a waiting call my screen lights-up.....but no vibration.....
I did try that option
but when I choose "Do not notify me" and click ok
then to check I click on "get settings" I get "Notify me" option choosen again
im using ROM version 1.28.110.3
when you press Do not notify me, press ok, then press OK to close the settings, go back into the GSM/UMTS settings and get the settings, it should have saved the settings.

[Q] How to disable Polite Ringer

Hi there,
it's seems to be a silly question, but how to disable the Polite Ringer ? My wife get a Wildfire and as the phone is in her bag, if the phone ring when she's walking, the ring shut off and I can't speak to her
Thx
Menu > Settings > Sound and Display > Uncheck "Quiet Ring on Pickup"
I am not totally sure about the option name, but, it should be something like that. (Long time since I used a Sense ROM)
