Yes you can.

First thing I did, haha.

Ran supercurio's carrier IQ detector. It says the software is there but it seems to be inactive.
Edit: Thanks CitrixLemon. Didn't know it could be disabled.

There are security/privacy concerns plus extra drain on battery. Google Carrier IQ

Yeah, it's in settings > applications > development, but I think it has to be added in.

Yeah, I was saying that a developer had to add the option. I'd expect it to be there for the custom roms, once they start appearing.

Make your own. It's painfully easy if you follow the directions. Also, telling us what your setup was would be quite helpful.

What's this and how do I get rid of it?

Hi guys, new to both android and this forum so please cut me some slack! This appeared on the screen of my GSIII this morning and I don't know how I did it, any ideas what is it and how to get rid of it? From what I can tell it seems to be a list of active programs or instructions all tied to a bar graph, depending on how busy the phone gets depends on how much colour you can see against each individual item.
Any help is really appreciated....cheers Paul

If I'm not mistaken, but you could have something turned on under accessibility menu.

If u uncheck this it will not read the name of the caller out loud. Hope this helps since no one seemed to know the answer. :thumbup:

I actually just posted a thread similar to this. I found out you can turn it off but you have to turn off voice control as well. The thing is I like to sometime answer calls with voice control because my hands are busy or in the shower or whatever...
With my previous phones(S4, Note 2), I could turn the caller ID voice prompt off independently and still have the voice control feature. But with the S5, it's both or nothing. I'm hoping I missed something but I've looked and looked...
But if you don't need both features, you can turn both off together but not one or the other(call settings > answering and ending calls > voice control).

Thanks for the reply. I too think it would be nice if u could toggle them independently. Maybe someone can cook that into a ROM.

No luck yet.. download selinux mode changer from play store... Set it to permissive, see if that does it.

I set it to permissive, and rebooted and it's still the same.
I think Knox disabled it, should I activate Knox?
Settings > more > security > clear credentials. My girlfriend had the same problem on her htc one. Caused probably by an app that used a vpn, and upon uninstalling, the certificate wasn't removed. This should work in that case provided the app is uninstalled
