So I'm not sure how this started happening, but today I started getting notifications when receiving texts. It sounds like it's the Google Play voice. I'll say "message from (name)", and I can't figure out how to turn it off. It says this whether I have the phone muted or not. Anyone know how to fix this?

Nevermind I found it. Driving mode enables that setting.

When on a call, my phone reads texts aloud when I am on a call. I am using handcent. How can I turn this off? I cannot find the setting for this anywhere....
interesting indeed. never head of this before.
have you checked the Handcent Forum?
Post the fix if you ever find it.
Turns out it isnt handcent. I uninstalled it & it is still happening. I am going to try to reflash Bionix 1.3.1... The strange part is it only happens DURING phone calls. So whoever I am talking to can actually here the text to speech of my received text message.
Its happen with my phone
I checked and toggled the driving mode and also changed the Settings-Call Settings-All calls-Alert , but still its happening.
Also lot more people have confirmed this annoying feature over here

Any help, I thought many would have experienced here on xda. Please help.
I noticed today that my phone does not vibrate on notifications. When I put it in silent mode, it will vibrate for phone calls but not for any other notification such as SMS, Google Voice, etc. Anyone else having this issue?
EDIT...hopefully this will help someone. After reading the forum for a bit I found a reference to the Sound Manager app. I downloaded it and checked the settings. For whatever reason, vibrate for notifications for turned off on my phone. The strange thing is, I cant find this setting anywhere. Under notifications, all I have is the option to change the ringtone. After turning vibrate on in Sound Manager, everything works. So my question is, why isnt there a vibrate on notification setting in my phone?
settings-->sound-->vibration-->always.

Unfortunately, that did not fix the issue for me. I tried every possible setting in sound>>vibration and could not get vibrate to work for notifications.
Mine works flawlessly.
I noticed this before I rooted my phone and it is starting to bug me. I have already check roaming notifications and all are off. What happens is at random times I get a doorbell sound from my phone and the notification light blinks. No notification are displayed, no gmail, no email, no text message. Does anyone have a clue what is causing this notification, and if so how do I disable it?

Do you have Yahoo Mail installed? You can tell it to not put notification in the toolbar but it'll still make the sound and flash the notification light. It's default sound kind of sounds like a doorbell. For me that mail account gets a lot of junk so I don't want to be notified I have mail unless I manually check. Overall I hate that app and with my new EVO I just use HTC's email application.
I get the same thing and it happens when I go into roam, no matter what roaming notification settings I turn off. I posted this issue in other forums and haven't had any luck. My next step is to install stock ROM and see if maybe there's just something on the software side screwed up.

You are correct it was yahoo mail. I had turned off notifications but did not turn off sound. Thanks for your help.
Glad I could help. I had the same exact issue on my OG evo after Yahoo updated that app.
Strange issue, I could send/receive text messages, and I could also make calls, but when trying to call my phone from another phone or if anyone else called me it would just ring like normal and go to voicemail, but my phone wouldn't ring or indicate that I had a call / missed call. This was fixed after a reboot but has anyone else had this issue?

I have the same issue I tried a reboot but the problem keeps coming back did that fix it permanently for you? Sometimes calls come in other times it just shows up as a voicemail.

My mom's G3 exhibited this issue over the weekend, waiting to see if it comes back.

I haven't had the issue since, but then again I wouldn't know unless someone texts me that they've been trying to call (I don't monitor my voicemail that closely...probably should though).
I've seen the exact same issue as well. I won't even get the call but the voice mail will show up if the caller left a message. Hopefully this is just a bad connection to the cell towers at the time the call was trying to get through and not some other issue.

Hi coming from the M8 forums and checking things out, and I had this issue and it was due to the tower being worked on in my area. I didn't have service for an entire month at my office or apt, which are less than a mile apart. Now I have poor data service but i can receive calls. You might want to contact Sprint and let them know ASAP
I cant receive calls but i can do outgoing and sms to others weird using international unlock lg g3 sprint
Same here...maybe 2 out 10 test calls I tried went through. I called sprint and they instructed me to re-provision the device using some ##7..something..something## dialer codes. My phone magically receives calls, but I have a feeling their re-provision crap didn't do anything to fix, it was just the re-boot part that "temporarily" fixed the incoming call problem.
I used to have the same issue and decided to reflash my ROM and reinstall apps one by one and my phone stopped having this issue but now is back. The issue is that whenever my screen is off and I receive a call my phone rings for a second and then it stops, when I go check who called there's no notification or log about the call. Anybody having this issue. I know it must be a app issue but have no idea which app.
The only app I have installed that could mess with it is GravityBox but I looked trough all the settings, disabled it and uninstalled it and it still does the same problem. But I am pretty sure it has something to do with it.
I also looked into the Call Forwarding option and disabled it but it still does he same thing. This is driving me nuts. I can only receive calls or see whos calling by having my screen on!
