I got the phone to stop reading out loud my incoming calls but it is still reading out loud when i get calls from people on my favorite list. I think i need to uncheck the option call from favorite contacts under read notifications aloud setting but everything is grayed out for me I cannot check or uncheck any options. Any have any idea how to do it? I tried unchecking voice control already basicaly i tried everything suggested but i cannot get the options in read notifications aloud setting because it is grayed out. Help.
How did you solve it? I'm having the same issue, everything is all grayed out. This happened to me before and I had to do a factory reset, I really don't want to do that again. This incomming call announce just started a few days ago again, and the read notifications aloud is all grayed out under the language and input settings. I have talkback disabled and voice control is turned off. Any help would be appreciated!

Are you restoring any system setting you had backup from your previous phone via Mybackup Pro. That's what was causing problem for me because was restoring system settings I had backup with MyBackup Pro with my S4 and restoring it onto my S5 which causing grayed out on settings.
I never used MyBackup pro. I just transferred my Google contacts. I guess I just have to do a factory reset again. I really do not understand the need for this feature outside of vehicle use. I really don't need everyone in my office knowing who is calling.
i heard a call once where this was happening.. turns out it was car mode.. maybe check car mode settings n report back

Does anybody know how to get voice answering working without caller ID readout? I need the ability answer a call in my pocket while at work, but i don't want it reading out string of numbers, or the fact that my mother is calling. I'd rather tell by ringtone.
I posted the same question in the Verizon section, and the only answer was to turn it all off.
I have all the boxes under (Language and input->Read notifications aloud) unchecked.

bug in 4.4.2
I am on a custom ketan rom
Build XXUFND3
Tried every solution on the various forums but could not disable voice caller id on favourite contacts
Finally I tried this
Hand free mode settings
Even if it is off. ..
Yet untick incoming call.
And lo
The caller id got disabled

Turning off voice notifications of callers on Galaxy S5
After reading many forums and tearing my phone apart, I finally figured this one out. I had the same problem many others were reporting, with anyone in my Favorites having their names announced when they called, even though I'd turned off Talkback and any other voice stuff. What I had noticed was that in Settings/ Language And Input/Notification Readout, all five options were checked but greyed out so I couldn't uncheck them. And "Calls from favourite contacts" was the one causing me all the trouble.
The solution on a Galaxy S5 running 4.4.2 is to use two fingers to pull down the Notification Bar, and then from that bunch of icons you see turn ON Hands-Free Mode (which is the old Driving Mode - it has a steering wheel icon).
Now, go back to Settings/Language And Input/Notification Readout and you'll be able to uncheck all those 5 options. After you've done that, go back to the Notification Bar and turn OFF the Hands-Free Mode. Job done!
