This did it for me:

Settings>Application Manager>All>Car Mode>Force Stop + Clear Data + Clear Cache + Clear Defaults

Let me know if it works for you.

when I got my S5, I browsed through all the options. I made a setting so that phone will announce caller name who is in my favorite list. I am embarrassed when the phone loudly announced caller during a business meeting.

Since then, I want to turned it off. It took me several days to figure this out --

it is actually under "settings" --> "Language and Input" --> "read notification aloud" -> "Calls from favorite contacts".

Such a non-intutive design of Android. I guess that I will switch back to iPhone later.

To toggle this on/off, simply go here>
Settings>Language & Input>Notification readout. The rest is quite self explanatory. Enjoy! ;-)

This is the answer that worked for me. Thanks for sharing, as I would have never been able to figure it out on my own. Other suggestions for turning off Voice control is not an option if you want to answer your phone with a voice command.

...Other suggestions for turning off Voice control is not an option if you want to answer your phone with a voice command.

Exactly, and this is a bug in my opinion and I hope they fix it. It works correctly on the Note 3, but not on the S5 and the inconsistency bugs me. Samsung is all over the place with their software.

I have tried all of this and when I got to these settings I see it but it's all greed out and won't let me unchecked it. Is there a way to force it to let me change the settings here?

I had reset cashe for drive mode, then played with s-voice when the problem started. what fixed mine, was turning car mode on, clicking through all the intro screens, then turning it back off again.

Go to SETTINGS-LANGUAGE AND INPUT - AND click on READ NOTIFICATIONS ALOUD - UNCHECK ALL BOXES.

Not sure how to post a photo to this forum or I would.

[jklisko]

I found a seemingly unlikely way to disable it. Go to settings > call > answering and ending calls > uncheck using voice commands.

I know that shouldn't work, but it did work on both mine and my girlfriend's S5.

[livingintucson]

I had the same problem -- here's what worked for me.
> phone
>settings
> then caller ID Readout. Be SURE it is set on Ring Only (not Caller ID repeat or caller ID then Ring)

[AngeNika]

ok this works
settings-----accessibility-----vision----talk back has to be off ---click on talk back----settimgs----speak caller id should NOT HAVE CHECK MARK

[Cadence Kirby]

I also found it very annoying, I set up custom ring tones an it would say callers name or number on my GS5, thanks for your solution, worked for me!!

[Cadence Kirby]

Found it...
Language and input
read notifications aloud
uncheck all that junk

I found this by using the s finder thing that I now love! It took a few different keywords, but I finally got it

thanks, your solution worked for me

[Dan Dragomir]

None of the above.
It was Driving Mode activated, and it speaks the name of caller/message sender.
You can slide down shortcut settings and disable Driving Mode.

[Jon Jackson]

My phone just started doing this....just out of the blue....what the??????

[popcorn9499]

I Finally figured out on my new Samsung Galaxy S5 how to shutoff the annoying call id readout.
First turn on Hands free mode.
Then went into settings => Language and Input => Notification readout
then unchecked calls from favourite contacts
Then finally after all that convolutedness you can uncheck hands free mode.

Isn't that stupid but is works. Now if you ever want hands free read out for calls you have to go and check that again. That's a really stupid way to do it. Samsung shouldn't be hiding settings like this.

Accessibility > Vision > Talkback > Settings (at bottom) > Under Speech Category - Untick Speak Caller ID

This worked for me. It was driving us nuts!

[Mark Chasan]

There was a whole string of suggestions that didn't work. This does. . .

From the home screen, tap phone icon, tap the 3 dots in the upper right corner, tap settings, tap call, tap answering and ending calls, uncheck voice control. Done!

[Uncleal95670]

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!! With that *stupid* voice, my phone would only ring twice. Now I'm getting all ringing, and no voice. THANK YOU FOR FINDING THE ANSWER!!!

[Jane deaux]

Hi Guys

I also had this problem with the annoying caller ID with my S5! !

I have disabled mine finally and this is how I did it:

Accessibility > Vision > Talkback > Settings (at bottom) > Under Speech Category - Untick Speak Caller ID

All done!!

Hope this helps

this is what worked for me. Although the talk back is off, you still have to untick this in the settings under talkback.

I was able to still have voice control.

[abrar0568]

answering ending calls>voice control uncheck worked... it was real annoying devil..thnx for help

[Derek Forbes]

Thank You So Much !!!!!!!

[alirezasalimi]

First of all, Do methods that my friends said. If your problem not solved, look other apps (below list) setting that you installed on your phone.
Apps list::
1. Voice changers
2. Call spoof
3. Voice of text
That works for me

Good luck

[Wads Ex]

Galaxy S4(android 4.4.2) solution:
Settings > My Device > Hands-free Mode > Incoming call > Uncheck

[Michelle Brooks3]

thanks so much for this !!
