I am dating two women. That is going to get me killed. How do I turn it off?

Oh wow! Let's make sure we find this culprit then BigBadBill1961. Try going to Settings>Language & Input>turn off Voice cmd for apps and then select Text-to-speech Output and make sure Driving Mode is set to off.

Thank you

Which phone do you have? Knowing exactly which model with help narrow down the model specific instructions.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Sometimes on my dumb flip phone, (inadvertently) pressing the external speaker button while the phone is closed -- and all other buttons locked -- sometimes toggles driver mode.

Hi BigBadBill1961,

Oh my! We want you to live, so let's get this fixed. Go to Apps ➔ Settings ➔ Accessibility and uncheck TalkBack. Keep me posted.

Thanks,

It seems I can no longer reply to the thread. Anyway, the TalkBack function is already off.

Hey there BigbadBill1961,

Thanks for checking for us. Are you still continuing to have your calls announced? Have you downloaded any third party applications that may assist with this type of function? How long has this been going on for?

I haven’t even downloaded a ring tone. It has been happening for two weeks, since the phone last updated.
