You could use a console-only pinentry, such as pinentry-curses or pinentry-tty. Add the following line in your ~/.gnupg/gpg-agent.conf:

  pinentry-program /usr/bin/pinentry-tty


I have gpg 2.0.14 on CentOS 6.6 and RHEL6U6.

I've tried to disable pinentry, without success, with the following
        1. comment out use-agent in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf

You cannot avoid using GnuPG Agent with gpg 2. As stated in the man page, gpg 2 always requires the agent, and the use-agent option has no effect.
