Built-in Caller ID Hidden but can be turned on - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

Pardon me if this is already posted but I'm sitting in the hospital bored and figured I'd dig around to see if this could be enabled on the Tmobile variant of the s7(edge).
During the announcement they showed off the incoming caller ID by whitepages which is quietly hidden away so that Tmobile can sell their caller ID service. It is still on board though.
1) Download an activity manager. (Such as https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sika524.android.quickshortcut)
2) Let it load then search for the word identify.
3) A single result should show up under phone settings.
4) Launch it and enable the setting.
5) Haven't had the chance to test yet but as long as the framework is on board it should work.
This setting is normally under advanced settings for the system but hidden by Tmobile.

I turned it on I don't really see anything different, I do also use the white pages app from play store, looked normal with that app killed.

Please elaborate, did it actually work when you guys received a call did it actually identify an unknown caller? And in the dialer/contacts do you guys have the option to manage spam numbers?
I am aware that we can enable this but it doesn't truly work.

I understand carriers have their own service, but this kinda stuff should be illegal. Once my phone is paid off, it should be treated as an unlocked phone and the carriers shouldn't be blocking features or services that come with the phone.

Whitepages ID is working straight from T-Mobile on my Galaxy S7 Edge. Not blocked or anything. It's not perfect as the website is also not but it works

If I'm right, and I'm never right, this is probably to enable the Google proprietary caller ID feature suits TMobile has their $3.99 a month caller ID feature Google disable this and our phones for T-Mobile my guess is that right there turns it back on but you also have to have the service enabled somehow as in maybe a Google Voice phone number something like that

Just use the free play store white pages app.. works for me, just had a call from an unsaved and gave me his full name right away.... I think enabling that option has helped the speed at which that app works tho, before it would spin for a couple of rings now it seems to come up right away

This is what I am currently doing, I just find it baffling that we have free services that we can use as part of a product we bought but we have to download and app to use it, even do it should be part of our dialer. But because the carrier is stuck in 2007, before smart phones, when you had to pay for ringtones and text messages and caller ID!

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 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.

if u ever get ur identity stolen by them u could easily sue them..i dont think a multimillion dollar company would want to go bankrupt for committing frauds
they are making multi million from users data... so you have to take care of your own privacy
installing xprivacy now ... thanks to those who suggested this app
Hrmmm, so let me get this straight...
**Runs automatically at startup
**Can open internet connectivity at will without user consent
**Can download files at will without user consent
...isn't that malware (by definition)?
I have mandated that my wife uninstall that bloated POS FB app since a few months ago when the permissions started getting bad... but this update takes the cake! I'm telling everyone I know to just use FB through a web browser!
Thanks OP
I'm going to give tinfoil a try.
It is essentially a "pretty wrapper" as the dev puts it for the facebook mobile site. Thanks for the post OP, I hadn't thought about what permissions the FB app was using with the latest update, I need to pay more attention.
If anyone wants the Facebook app before the latest (the one without all the permissions) its here - https://mega.co.nz/#!50l2mArA!cfLEwuLOT7-72Cknq3M4hAJtHAMWXxqK7P0X-tiBEDs

Seriously, fair enough if you want to worry about this but I personally couldn't give a toss. I have an unlimited data plan so if it wants to turn my WiFi off (which it NEVER has) then go for it. If they want to read my SMS, go right ahead seeing I get about one a week!
If you're not happy about it, don't use Facebook at all

Then why is the permission there? If it does not use it why did they added it there?
And when they didnt use the permission till now it doesnt mean they will not use it in the future.
The only way is not xprivacy...
Take care of your data and do not install crappy apps... If all users accept such behaviour, there won't be changes... You are responsible for your data....

Pretty sure visual voicemail is something you have to subscribe to and pay for monthly. I think there's a promo right now where it's free for 30 days. You might be getting this error because you aren't actually subscribed.
No go

I called Verizon support and after two hours of trouble shooting the tech was able to find out the feature code for visual voice mail has changed and would need to be updated by a different department. She put in the request and said this could take anywhere from 72 hours to 2 weeks to be resolved. And a factory reset does not fix this issue! It is on Verizon's end.
I had the same problem after updating. I spoke to tier II support and they reported to the software engineers. Tried to use VVM again a few minutes ago and now it is working.
The new Premium VVM is more like Google Voice and the Standard VVM is the same as the OLD Premium VVM.
Here is a SS of what it looks like now.

You must go onto your Verizon account and switch from "Visual Voice Mail" @ $2.99 to "Premium Visual Voice Mail" @ $2.99. Once I did that all was well.:good::good:

If you were using "Basic Voice Mail" then you will select "Basic Visual Voice Mail" under your features on your Verizon account. That is the free version.
Your basically having to read provision it. That's why you have to go to the mobile site or tech support to select the proper voice mail feature

Sweet. Did you already have it activated before you popped in a sim to Moto X? I have Note4 atm and it's already active. But one of my lines on VZW also ordered Moto X he is coming from HTC M8. I wonder if I as admin will be able to activate it for him on the website,then he would need to tick the Enhanced 4G LTE option.
I initially cut my sim from my S4 and had no problems. It connected without a hitch. I also bought a Droid Turbo and have switched my sim into the N6. I plan on using that sim on my Pure. I just checked FedEx tracking and have estimated delivery on the 15th.

This might sound stupid, but how do you tell that it's working from that pic? Because the phone still shows LTE when on a call?

Correct. I tried multiple manual methods to turn on Advanced Calling. In the end I simply needed Verizon to activate the feature on my new SIM.
If you can't hear the difference, it's probably not working , or you don't have it activated on your account. I can always tell when it's an HD call. It's very distinct.

Was able to enable it right online in myvzw. This is my first time with HD calling. You can and will hear a difference when on phone with other HD calling enabled devices. No feedback/crackle and very very clear sound.
having LTE on during a call doesn't mean it's VoLTE. it means you have simultaneous voice and data. the only way you'll know if VoLTE is working is if you call another verizon person wtih it and it sounds good.
personally, i never had it on my note 4, and have it now but i've never once tried it. i have no idea how good it sounds.
Well, I got it working. I called the Verizon Customer Service number, and when the automated voice asked me to state my problem (I chose technical support), I said "Voice over LTE", and she directed me to an Advanced Calling 1.0 automated setup. I just entered my number and that was it. Now I've got the "Enhanced 4G LTE Mode" option checked under settings --> more --> cellular networks. I'm not sure if HD Calling is working yet or not (but why wouldn't it?), as I don't really know anyone with this feature. I would love to test it out though, if someone knows a number I can call to test it. Is there any way to test HD Calling besides actually calling someone from your contacts?

I'm having no issues sending or receiving text or pics. No changes, popped sim in slot 1 and turned on. This is what phone info shows.

Which variant of the phone do you have (8gb/128 or 256gb)? I believe that someone over at the oneplus forum with the 256gb said they were 100% working from the start unlike others on different variants.

I'm not getting any help from Verizon, they act like they don't know what I'm talking about

Keep at it. I had to call them 5 times until I got someone who knew what they were doing. I'm absolutely thrilled that everything is working perfectly. I've want this phone for 5 years. Don't give up. It's very possible. You just need to get someone who knows what they are doing. Good luck.

Don't give up. Keep calling Verizon. I had to call 5 times until someone knew what they were doing. It's worth the effort for such a beautiful phone. It definately does work with all functions. I am enjoying very much using the 6t. Keep trying. I'm sure when they've heard from enough of us, it will be a simple matter.
