How to stop phone from announcing calls?

[bronaud]

I pretty much have the same opinion as others about the kitkat update.  NOT happy with it at all.  How do you get the phone to quit announcing calls?  I've gone to phone/settings/caller ID readout is set to 'ring only'.  HELP!  I AM FRUSTRATED!

@bronaud,

Let's get to the bottom of this!

Did the call announcements start right after the software update? Go back to Caller ID readout and turn it on and off again. Power the phone off and retest. Keep me posted if the issues persist.

Hello bronaud!

I'm sorry you're having issues with the Call announcement. Please make sure your device is not in driving mode, as this will announce calls as well.

When it comes to your battery, here's a link to extend battery life for your device: http://vz.to/1nGqghy
