Missing Voicemate??

Hi all
Apologies if this has already been asked but I couldn't find anything. I just got my G2 last week and have discovered today that the Voicemate app is missing? Or at least I can't find it...
Any ideas? It's a UK model on EE network.
Another question if I may, the quick access menu that you get to by holding your finger on the home key then sliding up (where voicemate is supposed to be) Is there anyway of changing which apps are accessible here.
Thanks a lot, any help appreciated.

Is there nobody with the same issue? Getting worried here...

Don't think that Voice Mate should be on that menu on D802? Don't you find it if you search for apps in the phone either? Note the space in the name if you search...
Don't have time to try right now, but I think this app is what you are looking for to change the menu: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dynamicg.homebuttonlauncher

Yeah, can't find the app... I wonder if it's excluded from the EE D802 device???

Nope... See screen shot.

Obviously isn't there then. I would look in to the possibility to flash the clean D802 image then...

It was more a curiosity thing, I can't believe that I'm the only one with this missing so wanted to see if there were others... Who knows what else is missing... :laugh:
I suppose I can live without it until such time as I root.
Thanks all

I bought a 16GB D-802 in Dubai and this too didn't have the voice mate app when I was on stock ROM.

I do have it, I have the international version.
Haven't used it a single time lol..

[Q] Lost my mobile data switch

I hope someone can help me.
On the screen with all the switch shortcuts (the one you pull down with a swipe) there used to be a switch to turn on or off Mobile Data.
It is no longer there and the only way to disable mobile data is deep within the settings.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

This is a well known and widely reported (in many threads) feature of the AT&T 4.3 (MK2) update as well as many other carrier 4.3 updates.

Either get this app or use Safestrap to install a ROM like Hyperdrive that has it included.

Actually, I have been running 4.3 since it was OTA on the first day, and the switch JUST disappeared yesterday.
That's why it is such a puzzler.

Thanks, that app installed as a system app gives pretty much exactly the same functionality.

Remove Wifi Nag from Rooted Device

I know you can remove the wifi nag with default.xml file, but don't know how on the HTC 10. Anyone know how to do this?

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.

Can We Enable System UI Tuner

Ive googled the hell out of LG G6 System UI Tuner, and searched all of the LG Specific forums on XDA, and came up with nothing.
Ive read that its possible to enable it on EMUI Devices, but havent found a way to enable it on the LG G6. Is this something we will have to wait until root/bootloader unlock is fully achieved, or something we can enable with ADB commands?
The main reason Id want access to the Tuner, is to disable these damned Peek/Heads Up notifications.

If the G6 is anything like the V20, LG has just removed the content of the activity altogether, which means short of recreating it in Smali, it's not going to work.
If you want, you can give my replica a shot: https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-systemui-tuner-t3588675

You can edit what apps can show notifications by going to Settings>Apps and then edit each apps permissions and notifications

Sure can, but what a ballache

Is it possible through Nova launcher activities? I can access it on my htc m9 through that. I don't have a g6 yet, but looking to acquire one soon....

Yes it's possible and I've done it with this app. I've disabled the alarm, Bluetooth and the Wi-Fi icon on my G6

That's probably the closest we're gonna get until root is achieved, but it works for me.

Works like a charm, I think. I get my notifications, without a stupid annoying ass popup!!
Cant actually change the notification level of individual apps though. But everything is on the level I wanted, I think its 2, where it allows all alerts, but doesnt allow peek or full screen notification, which is what I HATE!

If you reboot, the notification level control should work. You need to tap the "A" icon to turn it off auto mode.

Not OP, but I just tried your app, and it worked exactly as expected after granting the permissions via ADB. Finally got the clutter (BT, NFC, Alarm) hidden from my status bar. The only thing I noticed was that after reboot, the Bluetooth toggle reset to on, but the icon was still hidden (reseting blacklist restored it). I didn't try playing with the other options.

I should be uploading a build within the next hour that'll fix your problem. The method I was using was ignoring the first item in the blacklist string (ie the first switch you used).

I really can't understand why companies like LG find it necessary to remove these things...I mean, it's not like it's a feature that can confuse some people (which is the only good reason I've heard for this type of thing) cuz this is pretty hidden to begin with.

I can't figure it out either. I decompiled the V20 System UI and saw that they'd basically just removed all the code from the Tuner activity, like a second thought.

Nvm i got it to work. Just cant get rid of that battery icon it seems,. darn it

The app helped me as well, though I couldn't get it to hide the WiFi Calling indicator. Also, I'd love for a way to get a battery icon with the numbers inside the battery...wtf my first ever android phone from 2011 had that as an option, the heck LG?

Mobile Data shortcut, updates.

Hi.
I don't know if I'm in the right place because I'm in canada and have the 900w8 (with Wind/Freedom) but anyway, just bought my Note 3 recently and I see no Mobile Data shortcut on the Notification panel and it seems this was a common problem after some update and I couldn't find any fixes for this. Also, the phone has Android version 5, which I know isn't the latest version but looks like there will be no updates for us.
So, any way I can get the Data shortcut, or maybe the android 6 version? My phone is stock everything.
Thanks.

I am surprised that it does not show
I found a screenshot of Lollipop and it does show the mobile data shortcut.
Best I can tell you is to flash with Odin stock 5.0, but other than that, I do not know how you could fix it. Or just root it and try a custom ROM if that is something so important to you.

Thanks again for the reply and the suggestions, man. Yeah I don't know why this is happening with the Note 3s but like I said this was a common problem after some update. I've never rooted or flashed any phone and I don't know if I want to do this. So, looks like I have to live with this inconvenience. It also looks like I won't be able to swipe down to access shortcuts unless I unlock the screen. On my Moto E (Android 6) I'm able to do that without having to unlock the screen. That's another inconvenience.

Is that the case? I am not on stock anymore, but I think I remember it was possible if I just had the lockscreen to "swipe".
But then again, it could be a difference between Android 5 and 6
Flashing is an intimidating task and requires a lot of research but not as much as you may think.
Anyway, I'm not going to grind on that suggestion. Best I can tell you now is, enjoy your Note 3 experience
