VZW call+SMS filter app from Nokia will not install

As many already know the call+SMS filter does not block calls if your using the 928 on Verizons network, yet it works fine if you put it on another carrier.
I found this version of it at the Store - call+SMS filter ver. 1.5.4.2 - But can't get it to install, even on a dev unlocked phone. When I run XapDeploy it comes up with Invalid XAP file.
Could someone help me get this installed?
I'm thinking, possibly the one that VZW has installed on the phone is the reason the filter doesn't work properly.
Also is there a way to check what the version numbers are of the apps installed?
Thanks

Xap files downloaded from the store to a PC are encrypted and can only be installed from an sd card on supported devices. Also, in the one instance that I had to use this app on my Lumia 928 it worked just fine. If the app in the store is compatible with your device just install it from the store. You can uninstall the current app from settings by setting the date on your phone to 100 years in advance (2113) and opening the call/sms filter app. It should give an error with the option to uninstall. Don't forget to change the date back to current or you will have issues.

By the way the store version is the same as installed.

Don't do that !!!!!
I did it and now I can't install this feature. Anyway - this option is added with "extras+info" from your link I can't install too. I think, that only "hard reset" repair it.

Here's what you have to do, get the updated extras+info app. Open it, and click on More Info, wait a few seconds (like 5) close the app and you should see calls+sms filter in the Settings menu. If it isn't there, try that process again. It only works for Lumias with the Amber Update.

THX, but I have Amber and I have newest extras+info version (1.12.0.1). When I opened that and I wait 5, 10, 15, 60 sec call+sms filter don't show in the settings. In the first time (when I flashed Amber - august 5) I had calls+sms filter, but about 10 days he was broken. Now I haven't that option and I can't install that.

Now that I've flashed it, the Amber update one come down to it :/
UPDATE: Just read that someone had spoken to VZW and Nokia, the Amber update for the 928 on VZW has been put on hold until end of Sept.
Anyone have the Amber update files for the 928?

Thank you tonbonz, I never even thought that.
Now I'm stuck with a non-Amber phone until VZW decides to release the updated version of it.
But I did manage to get the update files for the Black version(I have a White one) from Nokia, and I'm so tempted to fire up NCS to get Amber back,, lol

No prob... I thought Amber was already pushed to the 928? I used NCS. Pretty sure there are links to the files for the white version somewhere in the WP8 hacking forums. Ahhh here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2300865&page=2

Terrific! Thanks yet again!!
It did go OTA the other week. But they put a hold on it. Sounds like they are updating it, I guess bug fixes. There was a couple people on another forum that got replacement phones and didn't have Amber on them and no updates available when checking on the phone. So they contacted VZW and Nokia and where informed of this Amber 'hold' but should be getting it soon, most people should have it by the end of September.
I was messing with NCS today and flashed what I just got and it's definitely not Amber.

Has anyone done a hard reset to see if they can get the call+sms filter working on VZW? I have been trying to get an answer out of Nokia and VZW on this and all I get is "do a factory reset". They also claim I am the only one they know of having this issue (yet I sent links to a few forums, including Nokia's own where there is a thread on this).

extras+info just updated their app today. I would download that and try it again.
http://www.windowsphone.com/en-us/store/app/extras-info/2377fe1b-c10f-47da-92f3-fc517345a3c0
If that doesn't work, try a hard reset, update the extras+info and then try that.

Got Amber back on the phone and the updated Extras+Info. But the call+SMS filter wasn't updated yet. So still a no go blocking calls with it on Verizons network.

Check out "disable service" for blocking OTA [root]

A while back I was looking at getting my phone to last as long as possible on a charge, and I came across Disable Service in the play store.
It is free and pretty neat. You'll need a keyboard or some way to generate a tab keystroke to get from "general apps" to "system apps."
Once there, in "Amazon Device Client Platform" you can disable both the "manual update checker service" and the "Scheduled Update Checker Service"
After doing that, you can head into system settings and see that you can no longer even launch the check for updates - after disabling using the pm disable method, I think there was a risk of accidentally triggering an update.

To get from Gerneral to System just press down on the remote until the first service highlights then press right.
I gave this a try on mine and you also have to disable the OTAService as well.
Once you reboot the FTV it seems to take a little longer for the home screen to come up, maybe waiting for the OTA checks to error out?

I think PM disable works fine as well. But there are people who swear they did it and still got updates. I just wanted to test this to see if there is an easy alternative for people who don't do ADB well.
It looks like it works fine.

I also think pm disable works and is fine.
However, my impression is that pm disable can be overridden, by accident or on purpose, by manually looking for an update - that if you have pm disabled updates and press that "look for updates" button, it will go out and look.
Using this method, the button does not activate a search for an update, and gives you visual feedback that it has not worked.
I also wanted a display of what was disabled that I could see from the gui rather than by using adb commands to list packages and states. (There are other service components that this tool can enable / disable.)

I tried your method, but the "Check for System Update" button is NOT greyed out. However under "Installed Date" and "Last Checked" it keeps showing "Checking now..." Furthermore pressing the "Check for System Update" button still triggers an Update action (even though it causes an "Update error" message). I don't know if the error is caused by disabling the 3 services using the Disable Service app, or the fact I have the update domains blocked on my router
Just wanted to say that your method doesn't seem to work the same across all devices

You have to disable the OTA service as well not just manual update checker service and the scheduled update checker service.

Anyone else using this method and not seeing the Update button greyed out? I'd like to use it as it seems a little cleaner then the pm disable one

sorry if I implied the button was greyed out - I'm not in front of it right now, but my memory of my setup is that the button is there and can be pressed, but pressing it gives you an error message telling you "update failed."
I've read of folks who were pm disabled accidentally updating themselves, and this app seems to prevent that from succeeding.

What I see after using the "Disable Service" app and disabling the 3 services (ManualUpdateCheckerService, ScheduledUpdateCheckerService and OTAService) is that the box is still "trying" to get an update - ie when "Check for System Update" button is highlighted it shows:
Current version - 51.1....
Installed date - Checking now...
Last Checked - Checking now...
whereas if I press the button it will Fail. It's the "Checking now..." thing that worries me a bit, hence why I keep asking.
Thanks for your help,

Unknown Sources Doesn't Stay Enabled Permanently

I sideload a lot of apps, and an annoying kwirk that I've found is that unknown sources does not stay enabled permanently. Everytime I attempt to install an app from unknown sources, I have to hop into settings and recheck unknown sources.
Yes, I do uncheck "this install only"

I think it's a definitely a big, because there is an option to uncheck "for this install only", however even if you do, it still reverts it back. So definitely a bug.

Yes it's annoying... But today when I try to sideload a app.. It prompt to enable unknown sources and takes to settings menu, here don't check the box rather click the Unknown sources it will prompt you a usual warning and below warning there is a check box as 'allow this instalation only' un check it and click ok...
It will stay forever

Actually, it seems to stay for a set period of time, possibly until the phone is locked, or about 10 minutes, not 100% sure, but I sideloaded about 40 humblebundle apps over the course of 2 hours yesterday, and that dialog came back between every sideloading session. I could do several at a time, but when i locked, and went off to do other things, returning to sideload more would result in the same dialog again. Checking the box made the dialog appear every time i tried to sideload. This doesn't appear to be a bug, it appears to be a security feature that has no option for removal.

I've got a bunch of packages frozen with Package Disabler Pro and my unknown sources is sticking. Verizon, US model.
I pulled the XML file in that thread and it freezes all kinds of Sammy bloat, including Knox, so one or a combination is flipping that back.
I'm taking updates as they come.

Noticed some settings in developer options not sticking either. Just took latest VZW update so maybe that'll fix it!

Try to uninstall Samsung Pay and the framework. I did it on my S7 Edge and it fixes this problem.
Hence, I opt not to use S.Pay.

Device Quality Agent?

Same here.

ahh so thats the "critical update" i declined. Was wondering what it was since there were no apps that needed updating in the store. Wonder what it does

It's update for fixing DQA keeps stopping issue.

I had mine suddenly download and install 3 things from the galaxp app store yesterday without me knowing anything about it. Personalized service client, samsung pass, and LED view cover icon editor. I thought I had been hacked and someone was downloading sutff to my phone!! No idea why it suddenly started doing that by itself. I have turned auto update apps off now in the galaxy app store, I guess they were already installed and were just auto updating (and i have no disabled them all in package disabler since they all seemed like junk).
I dont know what DQA does, wonder if its another one we can safely disable.

From what I understand, DQA has to do with checking the quality of your Wi-Fi. You'll notice if you turn your Wi-fi off, you'll stop getting those messages. Some have had success with going into your running Apps and force stopping the DQA. That didn't help me though and rebooting several times (which has also helped some) didn't work for me either. Still working through options. If anyone has other ideas...

I havent had any issues with or or any messages about it either before it updated or after. I usually have wifi on but have turned it off today and not noticed anything either. I have not disabled it in package disabler as i didnt know what it did, it doesnt seem to be using battery so i will just leave it on.

This is what I've found from Android Authority...
- Reboot device (may need to repeat a few times)
- Clear cache partition through recovery (turn off phone, press and hold Power, Volume Up and Bixby button. On Android screen, when you see ‘No command’ hold power and press volume up to access recovery. Use volume keys to highlight ‘Wipe cache partition’ and press Power to select. Highlight ‘Yes’ and press Power to confirm, then reboot phone)
- Turn off Wi-Fi
- Disable high performance mode
- Force quit DQA app (go to Settings > Apps and tap the overflow menu (three dots at the top right), tap ‘Show system apps’ and locate DQA. Tap it and ‘Force stop’)
- Disable DQA app with BK Package Disabler (costs $1.50, does not require root). Install app, grant permissions, swipe to System tab, find DQA and check the box next to it (simply uncheck to re-enable).
I haven't tried all these options yet. Let me know if any help should you decide to try.

I'm bumping this topic. Tried googling DQA, but very little seems to be known about it. If it indeed is checking the quality of the wifi, is it really safe to disable?

Hi, have you found any info regarding DQA? I found it among the recommended apps to disable/uninstall on Universal Android Debloater, but still I read somewhere that some of the apps disabled through UAD might be important, so I'm not sure about what to do.

S8/S8+ Oreo Beta is live!!!

There's 10,000 slots available instead of the Sammobile reported 7500 slots available. Once you click a few agreements, you get in automatically but then nothing happens. You have to force the update by going into Settings\Software update. The update happens normally then. The settings menu has changed quite a bit, Oreo is MUCH snappier (especially reboots), and some icons have changed. The warning in the last screenshot comes up automatically about 20 seconds after each reboot. Good luck getting in!!! :highfive:

The OTA downloads to the /cache folder which non-rooted users don't have access to. I wasn't rooted and I don't think you can be in order to join the Beta. Trust me, Sammobile would have posted it already if this was possible.

Sure, you could flash the modem if anyone could get the OTA but I'm pretty sure it'd be quite difficult. Since we're not rooted, you'd literally have to catch the OTA transmitting over your WiFi network onto your PC and then extract it. Which reminds me....
@bogdi1988 - Perhaps it's not showing up for you because you're not connected to a WiFi network. Make sure you're logged in to your Samsung account in Galaxy Apps and that all your Samsung Apps are up to date (the only way they update is when on WiFi.) Then check the Samsung+ app to see if it shows up for you. Hope this helps.

I updated hours ago and have rebooted several times since updating. I don't think I'd have a chance of finding the file name at this point. It would've been best to start a logcat right before initializing the OTA.

My "upgrade" did not go well. Turns out that package disabler pro is not playing nice with this update. I kept getting Android system has stopped and couldn't even load the main home screen. I gave up finally and hard reset and resintalled all my apps. I also had a pretty bad problem with the battery draining faster than it was charging on a wall plug. Factory reset was a pain to reinstall everything (still ongoing as I need apps, I reinstall them) but the battery issue has disappeared. Can't tell if WiFi is any better. Opinions on this release would be most welcome.

You're complaining about a third party app that disables stock apps that is NOT updated to support Oreo yet not playing nice with a Beta build??? Absurd. I'm quite sure the upgrade went as smoothly for everyone else as it did me.
As for my feedback, I haven't noticed a single hiccup with the build. It doesn't feel like a Beta. It seems like it could've been a final/official build.

Samsung+ never showed the update to me. Oh well. :crying:
Yes, I'm on T-Mobile S8+ in US.

It's not about "showing" it to you. They're pushing it to almost everyone. I spoke with 3 other guys who signed up and registered through the Samsung app and it pushed it on the next update.

So you see, I don't think my Samsung account is registered to their Beta program. I have never seen links to do so.

I guess as a small consolation, Samsung/TMo pushed a Nougat update out: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s8/SM-G955U/TMB/download/G955USQU1AQJ8/193749/

You're complaining about a third party app that disables stock apps that is NOT updated to support Oreo yet not playing nice with a Beta build??? Absurd. I'm quite sure the upgrade went as smoothly for everyone else as it did me.
As for my feedback, I haven't noticed a single hiccup with the build. It doesn't feel like a Beta. It seems like it could've been a final/official build.

LOL, that wasn't a "complaint" that was an observation. As noted by the no complaint and an observation comment. As far as not noticing it's a beta, would that be between the 15 or so times per minute that the software pops up a warning that this is beta software and may not work as well as expected and may cause problems? That not obvious it's a beta message? Also, the bad battery drain was an issue. That shouldn't happen no matter what.
