Call settings grayed out - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Any idea on why call settings would be grayed out? What settings are available anyway? I've frozen a number of apps using titanium backup and could one of those have had an effect? I had frozen wifi calling but restored it, no change in call settings though.

[Q] [Android Market]How desactive notification for one or more application

I know we can desactive notifications for all update in Android Market
But me I want desactive for only one, because I want keep my version and not new version... ;-)
Why ? Because I don't want nofications all days for one application where I don't want new version...
Any suggestions ????
I assume with desactive, you mean deactivate.
Try open market/ my apps, then settings right upper corner.
There is a "Notify about app updates" option, i guess you want to UNcheck it.

You could try backing it up with Titanium Backup, then uninstall through the Market and restore the backup? Should break the market link.
You can do this with Titanium Backup by pressing long on the app in the list.
In the appearing menu select Detach from Market... that's it.
TB just rocks so hard it's ridiculous; changed my times to reinstall after a flash to minutes instead of hours

I have the same problem with the app that didn't came through (ran out of money on my card). Now I can't purchase it and can't download it. I feel like I'm in purgatory. =)
Sadly I'll have to resort to shady sources for the app if google doesn't fix this mess soon.

What exactly did you do? Perhaps this is a Pro feature?

I found a thread for the Sprint GS3 if that helps.

It still runs in the background, intermittently popping up asking to activate, only way is to delete the apk.

so that it will never bother you again do this.
Apps>ALL>Sprint Connections Optimizer> Force Stop and uncheck Show Notifications.
It will never bother you again.
Other than that im not sure. I guess you have your reasons to not even show in the options list.

When you made this edit did the Advanced Calling options go away in settings?
It's doing that on custom ROM oddly.
But you can still turn off Video Calling in call/settings, but can't get turn AC off completely unless you backtrack the MOD. Was a PITA tracking down what was taking AC away from settings menu and turns out to be this one single edit lol

AC = auto call? I can still turn it off and on without it crashing, but haven't tested if it actually disables if I uncheck it.
Flying home tonight. So I'll check then.

AC = Advanced Calling, sorry.
I think misunderstood my question.
So with customs ROMs I have ran into an issue where I lost the Advanced Calling and Tethering options in Settings menu (see attached screenshot). I finally after way too many hours, tracked the problem down to this one MOD (I had to find if it was from an app I was editing, then down to edits in the system, finally found it was in the customize folder and then in ACC/default.xml and even in there took forever as I had many changes). As soon as I make the edit and reboot they are gone, make edit back to stock and they show.
Everything still works fine - in regards to Advanced Calling, HD Calling and Wi-Fi Calling but those settings menu options just aren't there to turn on and off. I can get to an option to turn off Video Calling (see 2nd attached screenshot) which then leaves it into HD Calling state.
What I do as a workaround is keep a default.xml.bak with this MOD removed if I ever need to get into the options for w.e reason and they are only a reboot away.
Not the biggest problem, but very strange indeed. I made the same edit on M8, but M9 as well and never ran into this issue.
I was wondering if you had this issue as well after doing this MOD.

No problem my friend, I appreciate your feedback.
I couldn't figure out why it was missing and tracked it down to this one edit. Very weird. You should try setting it back to 2 value and reboot and see if Advanced Calling comes back.

Thanks for the directions on this @andybones - Verizon's constant wifi notification nag drives me nuts.
Just applied this to @santod040's Nougat stock rom (https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...m-1-85-605-9-aroma-root-root-debloat-t3529732) and it appears to continue to behave as you expect: lost the Advanced Calling and Wifi Tethering options out of the Settings menu. I can still get at the tethering via the sub-menu 'Mobile network sharing' as well as the quick settings pane so good to go. Too bad this even has to be a thing. #&$*#&$ Verizon

Very welcome. I know of another method to remove the WiFi Nag and still keep the Menus correctly in Settings. It's actually a method that we used on the M8 if I recall correctly. The current method posted here was what we used on the M9, and strangely had no affect to Settings Menu, even though the M9 also has Advanced Calling. I remember testing this method out a little bit ago on the 10, and all was fine. However to be sure, I am posting a .zip with the edited .apk and a .zip with stock, to go back to stock, and also if anyone wants to see what was done. Simple edits of removing 10 .png images.

OK Google voice command only goes to lockscreen

So I've been playing around all day to get this to work but cannot. Every time I use the OK Google voice command with the screen off it only goes to the lockscreen and I have to enter a pattern.
I've read through a few posts but nothing I've tried is working.
Can anyone offer some assistance??

You have to set up voice unlock I believe. Go into settings in the app and voice model> retrain voice model.. You should be able to set it up then

I am also using the stock messaging app and don't have "chatbots". Unless you are referring to the Network Messages, where it's a message to a small phone number. Are they grouped under 1 thing, then you can see all of the different one's? Facebook has this kind of visual setting, I'm not sure if this if what you are referring to though.
Can you show me a screen shot now?

Any help is appreciated it's been bothering me since it showed up
@RypeDub if you can get the messaging .apk off your phone before upgrading I can try to install it on my phone and see if it resolves the problem.
Kind of a manual work around but if we can get the .apk somewhere it'll at least be a solution for now.
How do you do that? I'll help out before I run the OTA fixer
I downloaded Package Manager: App info, APK Analyze & backup by Sarangal
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=sarangal.packagemanager&hl=en_US
In that app you should be able to "share" and fire it into an e-mail to yourself then onto xda, or possibly google cloud, or do a back up and manually pull it off the phone.
I'm sure there are other package managers that can do the same as well.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/15_md-XUKtK_l5gv0_cL6ZW-MRj3cfmod/view?usp=drivesdk
That looks like the Google messaging app not the default OnePlus messaging app. At least when I downloaded it that what it's showing up as and when clicking "view in play store" it goes to the Google messaging app. Either way I'm not able to install it as it's failing. I'll mess with it a little more possible tomorrow. Thank for trying!
