[Q] How make S5 NOT show my number on calls...... - Galaxy S 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

We need to turn OFF the display of the phone's number on outgoing calls.
I've found several things on the Internet that show how to do this........
They ALL (so far) send me into phone/settings/calls then tell me to select "MORE SETTINGS" I do not HAVE a "more settings". I have an "additional settings" where that would be, but all that's in there is TTY mode and Hearing aids.
How do I turn on and off the display of the phone number when making calls?

Go to phone/settings/Calls/extra settings/caller-id.

Thanks for the reply... Maybe I'm being unclear, or I'm just not SEEING it, but I don't have anything called "More Settings" or "Extra Settings" or anything even remotely like that. If I could find the place where "caller-id" is hiding I'd change the setting.........
Is this an Android 4.4.2 versus some other version thing? Or something Verizon did? 'Cause EVERY topic I've found keeps telling me to do this, and I can't find an entry... Here are the screenshots of everything I have in "Call"

Um, NO, it's not. 5th picture is what's in Additional Settings... TTY and Hearing Aids. I don't see ANYTHING in there for hiding the number...
And for the AT&T people, no, it's not in Accessibility either......
Somebody PLEASE tell me Verizon didn't do something as UTTERLY STUPID as to make it impossible to hide the number on outgoing calls...

@dkperez, How did you managed to keep white background in settings?

Am sure it won't make you feel any better but mine from Ntelos is exactly the same as yours. So you are not going crazy...concerning this at least.
I'm on 4.4.2 ANF1

How can we answer this when you didn't even tell us which S5 model you have, what your firmware build is? You should be providing a lot more information.
On my S5, you can click on the Phone app icon and look for
Phone > Settings > Call > More settings > Caller ID > Hide number
.

Ah, my error, I didn't realize Verizon had a bunch of different S5 models and different firmware builds in the very short period it's been available.
As for "use search"... Exactly WHAT would you like me to search for? Lessee, I tried "hide number on outgoing calls" and "outgoing caller id" and several others. So what search criteria would have taken me to the correct answer?
Model: SM-G900V
Android: 4.4.2
Beyond that, I have no idea what "firmware" it has.
As for the white background, I have no idea. It's white. I didn't make it white.

Can`t you just call Verizon and ask them how to turn off caller-id or look on their website for support?

Believe it or not, this feature doesn't exist on the phone with Verizon.... It's in the network. There was a pointer elsewhere to going into "My Verizon" to set it....
EXCEPT, it doesn't exist anywhere in the "Change Features". You actually have to CALL Verizon, wade through all the crap, get someone on the phone, and have THEM turn it on... And then, there's no "display" "hide" or such. Just a line in the "Change Features" that says "Caller ID Block".......
SO, in THEORY, it's resolved. We'll find out Tuesday. What a massive pain in the ass it is to get something that SHOULD be this trivial done.

My carrier is Ting and it is also in a seperate app (the Ting app via Play Store)
Ting also uses all Sprint devices and towers, so my phone is the SM-G900P (Sprint model) and uses all Sprint firmware.
Once I tried to block it, I believe it auto-updated the Profile to send it to their network.
Yes, huge PITA for a feature - but I believe they do this so people dont accidently enable blocking their Caller ID and waste their carriers time having to call Customer Service and ask why. There's prolly less people who want this feature than who do, so thats why they remove certain features...
Same as the Xposed mod to record calls - Samsung programmed it in, but due to legality issues - they cant make it easily enabled.

Your original post didn't tell us that you had a Verizon phone, let alone what firmware version you have. And for that matter, Verizon does hve multiple variants. If you read a handful of posts in the forum or did a Google search, you'd quickly find out how to identify the version. You comment about a white background with the implication that I asked or commented on it, which I didn't. I don't see how that is pertinent.
If you provide germane information, you'll get better answers. Otherwise people will make guesses and you may or may not find a useful conclusion. Good luck.

No. It shouldn't be there when connected to wifi unless you are sending or receiving and MMS message.

mine goes away when I turn the data off.
I found the fix for this in another forum - I think the S4 forum.
You need to disable (turn off) "Caller Name ID". Go into manage apps, click Caller Name ID and select "Turn Off". That worked for me.

Thanks I also had this problem and it was annoying. It would happen once in awhile on my Note 2 but all I had to do was put it on airplane mode and it turn airplane mode back off and it would go back to normal.
I am having the same issues with both of the icons staying on in the status bar, I have tried all the suggestions and have had no success any suggestions would be helpful
so.. what does turning off "caller name ID" do? who does that affect my phone? good or bad??

It's a bloatware app... unless you use it turning it off won't do anything but disable the app
i took the OTA update to 4.4.2 the other day. since doing that, the status bar 4G icon will not go away. i've turned off the caller id app, but it's still showing in my status bar while connected to wifi. anyone else having the same issue?
and no, the icon does not go away when i disable mobile data...

That's the new normal behavior with kk.

Yeah it is normal now to stay if you are on kitkat rom. If you use xposed, you can download the module "Samsung Data Connection Icon fix" and that will get it to go away but it will make the verizon specific 4g icon turn into the normal tw icon as well

[Q] How do default my radio to LTE only?

Since I use GV exclusively for my talk and text, I don't need their voice radio anymore, and the only calls I get to that number are spam...so just disabling it sounds just great to me....but setting tghe radio to LTE only manually every boot is a pain in the butt to remember. So here's what I'm looking for....I'm hoping there is a way to set this up easily....possibly a build.prop entry? similar to this one, but another network number??
ro.telephony.default_network=10
I've tried but I can't find one that defines LTE only. Can anyone please help?
I got it...build.prop editing wasn't enough for some reason. I had to do some database editing on the settings storage for it to work. For reference, here's what I did:
download sql lite app from the play store here
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.speedsoftware.sqleditor
open settings storage > global

find the line:
preferred_network_mode
change the value to 11
reboot
open your stock phone dialer and enter the following or open phone testing menu another way.
*#*#4636#*#*
verify under phone testing LTE only is selected.
this is now your default setting. you can change it back manually if you need to and a reboot will default back to LTE only.
THIS WILL DISABLE YOUR VOICE SERVICE THROUGH YOUR CARRIER!!! THIS INCLUDES 911 AND OTHER EMERGENCY SERVICES....YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!
VoIP and VoLTE will still work!!! You just won't be able to make or receive calls through your sim card's registered number.

or, you could have just dialed *#*#4636#*#* and set it to lte only, which would do the exact same thing. and instead of dialing, there are apps that bring up that menu as well. btw, no voice on lte because our radios are not capable of it, even if our networks supported it.

yup...but the point is it resets when I reboot. This sets it to LTE only and keeps it there
and no voice was literally the entire point of doing this. I use VoIP exclusively and the only time my Tmo number rings is for spam...no joke I get at least a half dozen spam calls every day and not one other call.

Verizon VoLTE Problem with Solution

Hi all,
I installed the 5.1OTA and could not get Verizon Enhanced LTE (advanced calling, VoLTE, etc....) to work. I tried what everyone else suggested and nothing made it work (never showed the enhanced LTE setting in the cellular menu). Here are the steps I took in case anyone else is having the same problem.
1. Re-Install radio and bootloader from here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95916177934540313
2. Enter the hidden menu using *#*#4636#*#*
3. Go in to Phone information
4. Click the TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG button (wont change)
5. Click the TURN OFF RADIO button
6. Wait a few seconds (for radio to turn off) and then click the TURN ON RADIO button.
7. Observe that the TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG button has changed to TURN OFF....
8. Go in to Settings>>...More>>Cellular Networks and make sure that Enhanced 4G LTE Mode is enabled.
I did all this and I still did not have data while making a call. I had to go to VZW site and go into my account and tell it to activate a device on my current line. I entered the IMEI and it gave me a warning about softcard and then went right back to same screen, When I clicked next it gave me a warning that it was unsupoorted device. After this it all worked perfect although the phone is still not recognized on the VZW site.
I can confirm this works. I had the hd voice already added to my line so I had to remove it and then add it back. That seemed to do the trick for me. It hasn't disappeared as it did originally. I'll update if I lose it. Thanks OP
I installed the OTA too and I didn't see the VOLTE switch immediately either.
What I had to do was to log into Verizon and add HD voice to the lines that supported it. After I added them and checked the mobile network settings, I saw the VOLTE switch pop up.
Hope that helps.

I added the service to my line then rebooted the phone but still no sign of the setting. Maybe I should have been more patient.
No matter, this solution worked perfectly. thanks
Same here played around in dialer and no go
So..... My problem is that when I enter the settings menu inside of the dialer by dialing *#*#4636#*#* it does show the option to turn on volte provisioned flag but it does not change. Ever. I hit the button, turn off radio, let it turn all the way off, then turn it on, and it still doesnt change. Reboot, still no advanced calling options.
Anyone else having this problem?
I am on Chroma ROM so I'm hoping this isn't an issue, and if it is, does anyone recommend a good stock rom until Chroma gets updated?
Thanks guys!!!
Same problem here. I was using Vanillipop and it worked on that one but not on Chroma
I tried this and got the feature and all on my phone but tried to make a call and got an error then it turned off the features and back to square one.
I did the following and it worked. I had to turn on HD Voice in my verizon account. I did not have to activate my nexus 6 on my line.
type in *#*#4636#*#*. When you hit that last *, your phone will jump into the hidden settings menu. Choose “Phone info” and then scroll down until you see an option for “TURN ON VOLTE PROVISIONED FLAG.” Tap that and then reboot your phone (I had to reboot twice for some reason to get it to work). Once booted, head into your phone’s regular settings menu, tap on “More” under “Wireless & networks,” then “Cellular networks.” You should now see an option for “Enhanced 4G LTE Mode” and it should be toggled on.
Edit: There is a chance that you may need HD Voice added to your Verizon account. To do that, you will need to sign-in to your Verizon account and add the feature, which is free. http://goo.gl/eKFV5E

Something else must be missing.

This did not work for me. Then today I was poking around in the settings and got it to work. I went into Applications in settings and then in the top right enabled system apps. I scrolled down to smart caller ID and clicked it. I went to permissions and enabled contacts.
Anyway an hour later I got a call from a family member from their home phone. I do not have this persons name saved in my phone. It said their first, last, and middle initial right on the screen. I was like wow it's working. So naturally I went into package disable pro and turned it off LOL. I tested it again with the same caller and this time it didn't show their caller ID, only their phone number. I tried to re enable the feature and have not been able to get it back since. If someone can try these steps and see how it works, maybe we can figure it out.
Kept messing with settings and it started working again. Rebooted and it went away.
My phone doesn't even have smart caller ID in the app manager area. I did follow the OP and enabled it so we'll see. I'm not rich hopeful but we'll see

Mine doesn't have that in applications. Not even after enabling system apps. Must be third party installed app you have there.
Okay use the app from the OP and search for "smart" and smart caller ID will show up. Click it and then create. Then on the home screen click the newly created shortcut and it should enable permissions for smart caller ID. Then try.
I've tried it multiple ways and I don't see a "smart caller" anything either. Total crap Verizon! Any way someone can extract it?

Questions about video calls

Good morning
My wife owns a samsung A5 2017 and she can place video calls directly from the contact app, which is samsung proprietary (rom stock)
She has no third party app, so its a built in feature.
A friend with a galaxy S7 can receive those video calls, with my ZTE Axon 7 I can't, so I'm digging to know why.
Do anybody know how these video calls work? What protocol? Any piece of software to install? Does it work only between samsung phones? If so, is it portable to other brands?
Thanks very much.

Hi!
The video calling feature requires the Wifi calling setting to be ticked on, which is under the phone app when you tap the three dots on the right-hand corner --- settings --- then scroll all the way down and tick wifi calling on. If you're on Marshmallow still, go into your phone settings, tap connections --- mobile networks --- wifi calling, and turn that on. **NOTE** You're carrier must support your phone for wifi calling to work, if not, you won't have an option for wifi calling, and the video call feature cannot work. Worst case scenario, download a third party app for video calls Hope this helped, and if you have anymore questions, please ask!
There is no need setting or install any apps
My A7 (even on my previous Tab 2 7.0) default dailer have native videk call using 3G line.
But i can only call to phone that have native video calling feature.
If i calling phone that not support video call calling will fail.

thank you so much.
Nope, no wifi calling setting in my phone app parameters.
Are you sure that this "wifi calling" refers to the "visio calling" option you find in samsung phone dialers?
I'm asking because I'd like to know what is exactly the mechanism of this, so I can investigate.

Yes, you need "wifi calling" for the video calls to dial out. It doesn't work over phone service, so yes, wifi calling is what is needed to use the integrated video call feature on your phone. May I ask what phone and what carrier the phone is on? Your carrier has a list for supported wifi calling devices if you want to see if your phone is supported.
**EDIT** Apparently mobile networks work with video call as well... Take advantage of this if you have an unlimited data plan
