AT&T OTA update strips Universal Search feature

Didn't want to put this in a development section since I am not a dev but wanted to share.
This morning I received an OTA updated on my I747, that Updated my kernel and Modem. I went from UCLEM to UCLG1
Here is what changed
Old Medem and Kernel

Try searching. Do you still get local device results or web-only results?

When I did a search before posting, got web only and nothing showed up. If this was posted already my apologies.

On your phone, when you search do you get results from the web and your device, or only from your device?

I installed and I only get Web results now.

Maybe I'm lucky I get Communication with Server failed when checking for update. Any other changes?
I'm assuming Kies should have this update too right?

Sorry I misunderstood the question, thought I was asked if I searched before posting the thread lol.
When I search on the device only pulls up web results no longer brings up device results.

Yeah, that's what I thought. It's an update to address an lawsuit Apple brought against Samsung for unified search. Google removed on device search results, probably until a better solution is found. Really disappointing. I'm not updating for sure.

Mines downloading now. OTA Rootkeeper engaged. (stock rooted rom prior to update)
(trying to flash a stock recovery, wont work with CWM btw)

Let us know if you're able to keep root.

Updated the title to include that the universal search feature had been removed with OTA.

Surely this is a class-action in the making? People purchase product with a specific feature set, feature is later removed. Now, it might be cheaper than fighting with Apple, or might be enforced by the courts, but it doesn't change the fact that something you paid for has been taken away.

I could have sworn I read that it was only on the Nexus device relating to this.
Samsung's/ATT's getting ahead of the curve here or something?

OK,
Rooted, protected with OTA Rootkeeper, and flashed stock recovery. Got the update installed and OTA Rootkeeper restored root. Happyface.
(doesn't fix standby reporting bug)

anyone that installed notice a difference in the baseband/radio? better/worse reception or data speeds?

I just got off of live chat with tech support. I had a good tech. He copied and pasted the OTA information he had internally.
Went something like this:
"Reason: Google Search Update"
And then the base band, how to tell customers how to perform the update, etc
Its a 10mb file.
So, pretty much it down grades the search function of Google Search.
Awesome...

I just rooted the phone after the OTA, have CWM and SU

10mb to remove a function? Can't just be that can it?

See if there is a brightness toggle on the pull down menu. The I9300 got that in a ota.

[Q] New Hangouts app

I was wondering if anyone had tried yet. Mine still shows up as talk, but when I go to the play store it says I have hangouts installed and when i open it from the play store it just opens talk. Since talk came as a system app on the phone does it not get swapped out for hangouts?

Yeah, same here. I wouldn't worry about it though, I'm sure it'll be fixed quite soon.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337

They updated it today. But I just went in and in uninstalled talk from system (im rooted) and installed hangouts from Play store. So far I like it. Can't wait untill it has sms integration which they said is coming soon
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app

Talk got replaced by Hangouts for me. I did push it from the Play Store from my desktop though. You can try to backup Talk, uninstall it, then install Hangouts. That worked for me also. You're not missing much though. The big news is that it's available for iOS.

Check out the permissions for Hangouts, it already includes sending and receiving SMS and MMS. In addition there was a post by a Google employee (don't recall where, but I read it earlier today) saying that it will be coming soon as it's one of the most requested features.

it is still not working, it says "your device already has this item installed"

I got the update this morning....I have JB 4.1 on my phone.....it replaced the talk app but the messenger+ from google plus still persists.......
I didnt really like the hangouts app btw....talk was pretty cool...

Key there is to open the link via browser. Even if you have Google Talk, you can install Google Hangouts over it.

I downloaded the T-mobile Visual Voicemail app from the Playstore and use it without any issues on my N5. I'm not sure what you're talking about...

No work here. Get a message saying no response from the server.

Any one have any ideas how to keep from getting dual notifications? I get a normal voice mail notification (white tape cassette icon) and vvm pink icon.
Also tmo vvm app does NOT show up for me with the N5 stock in the play store. Those who show it in play store must be running custom rom maybe?

On stock N5 at least, I kept getting a non compatibility message when I wanted to dl this. So I pulled this apk off of my S4 backup in Helium. I've had no problem with it so far, but I don't get a lot of VMs.

anyone else getting texts showing up as sent from you to "122" with the message "Activate:dt=6"?
It's related to Tmobile's VVM service and that code seems to be a way to activate voicemail? But it's the only message that's ever sent from my phone and randomly throughout the day, even if i don't have any new voicemails.

Thanks needed this and couldn't find it on the market!

I've gotten that a couple times. I created a Google contact call T-Mobile Alerts with the following numbers:
456
1511
122
7777
Makes things easier to look prettier in Hangouts or whatever SMS/MMS app you use.

Thank you for uploading this. T-Mobile needs to fix VVM being unavailable on the market asap.

What did you guys search to find this on the market? Cause I cant even find it in the market.

I originally was able to see and install T-Mobile VVM on my Nexus 5....then when 4.4.2 came out I did a factory reset and it was no longer available.
Here's the apk for version 3.7.4.2 released on 12/10/2013. Just got it off of my Galaxy S3 using APK Share. I just installed it on my Nexus 5 and it seems to be working fine....but have only tested it with one voicemail. Don't know if I will start getting the dt=6 SMS again.

There was an earlier update about ten days ago. There was no notification, you had to get it through settings. There's been no change between that update and today's that I can see. One thing the earlier update added is that now you can't use the app without accepting a pending update which I found out about when the notification came just as I was about to pay for something. I wasn't amused.

Did your first update include the digital card number as mine? Or did the second?

This update didn't change anything visually.

You can now open the app with the screen off. Just swipe up from the fingerprint sensor and the app will open. Then you verify with your fingerprint again.

Very Cool. I tried that as well. I wonder if the update was carrier specific? I use Samsung Pay literally every day multiple times a day. Today was the first time i got the notice. I am on ATT

Is Samsung Pay only available to Korean regions only or must register as beta user ? Isn't it available by default in all Note 5 variant ?

If I were you I'd either try to uninstall and reinstall or just wait to see if it shows up if not You could try to add another card and delete it. The wireless chargers are on back order for now.

It's part of the LS997 ROM released by Team DevDigitel. I should be able to get an APK for you but it's probably just as easy to extract it from the ROM. With LG stock apk's YMMV.
Sent from my LG-LS997 using XDA Labs

I know this apk works since I just pulled it from a ROM that has it included and it was working with the ROM. There must be some sort of dependency that is keeping it from running. I'm going to see if I can do some reverse engineering on it to find out what that dependency is. If anyone can save me a step, I'd be happy to hear what that dependency is!

Did you ever figure this out because I would like to do this myself. Also, you mentioned you had the stock messaging app working. Would you mind sharing the apk and any special instructions not covered by this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/themes/stock-music-app-to-att-version-t3552963
Also, please share the calendar apk as well even though it hasn't worked for you. Maybe I'll have better luck.

Just saw this--I posted links to all of the working LG apps for LS997 unrooted phones somewhere. Once I find them, I'll link to it here.

Calendar App https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B8dcSlY-Ip1-RUViZzJsNkJUMVU
Let me know if you get Calendar working!
UPDATE 2: I couldn't get the Messaging app to work this time. Not sure if it has anything to do with updating from ZV5 to ZV6...or maybe just that I'm no longer rooted?

You're not on Sprint (lucky you). For some dumb reason, hardly any of the STOCK LG APPS work on an LG PHONE. Makes perfect sense. I understand the desire for the carrier to make the phone "theirs" or to try to go with a more "vanilla Google" experience, but if I want to install LG apps on an LG phone, that should not be more difficult than rocket surgery.
My turn to rant >>> Unfortunately Sprint has the best coverage where I live and their prices are much better than Verizon's. Next time I'll just get an unlocked device. I would love to just root the phone in order to run stock apps, as I had before, but everytime I do there seems to be a malfunction and my phone ends up bricked (not from installing incompatible ROMs or kernels, I think I just flash the phone too many times?). Not to mention Sprint (and AT&T) has conveniently decided to not make the KDZ/TOT files available to the public. Let's not even mention the ridiculous static boot screen...

Someone in another thread suggested it might be a missing framework. I don't know enough about mobile development to be able to say that he was on the right path or not, but it seems logical to me. It's probably something buried deep in the system that would only be accessible by having root permissions.
I do wonder about the ability to achieve this through a terminal app and changing some permissions as the SystemUI Tuner app does in order to change status bar icons without root. Wish someone would work on that, or I wish I had enough knowledge to do so myself... oh well.

Yeah neither of the apps will work on non rooted phones... You can't add the other files to system without it.... And to be honest the Android messaging app sprint includes is better then the stock lg one...

Serious question: how does the method used by SystemUI Tuner work without root, and why wouldn't this method work for non-rooted phones and stock apps? If you're not familiar, the app requires non-rooted phones to use ADB to send a shell command 'pm grant com.xxx.xxx android.permission.WRITE_SECURE_SETTINGS' and 'android.permission.DUMP'. Perhaps there is code in the app itself to trick the system into thinking it has root using these commands?? You would know better than me...
I'm waving the white flag on this, however I am curious to know how that works. I might consider another carrier in the future however. Preferrably one that doesn't cripple stock apps.
