I'm setting up my new shiny LG G6 unlocked (US997) with AT&T and I've just found that apparently AT&T Visual Voicemail app is listed as incompatible for this model (I cannot find this app when searching Play Store on the phone itself. When searching on the desktop I do find it but it lists G6 as incompatible and refuses to install).
Has anyone experienced the same and what remedy/alternative do people suggest?
P.S. For extra hilarity, here's with awesome, amazing, technically brilliant AT&T tech support chat: https://goo.gl/2kxCrV
Had same issues, fixed it myself.

What I did was install a apk version of the ATT Voicemail app. I googled apk ATT Vociemail and installed it directly onto the phone not through the playstore. You do have to allow unknown sources enabled to get it to install. If you need more detail just let me know. Download the apk on the phone then go ahead and find it in the download of file manager, and open it and will install, if you have unknown sources allowed. I have the exact same phone, and this fixed worked for me.
Thanks,

Have not had any success in connecting to gameloft. Each time it tells me no games available. I believe others have been able to purchase games. I have a US At&t tab. Is this not supported yet or am i doing something wrong?

I got Asphalt HD, Sandstorm, Dungeon Hunter, Hero of Sparta and Gangstar from gameloft.com not the market on my Sprint Galaxy tab--have no idea.
The reason there aren't any apps available from the gameloft website for download on the AT&T tab is because AT&T doesn't allow sideloading of apps that aren't from the android market. Therefore gameloft doesn't have a section for the ATT galaxy tab because it would be misleading to their customers.
I haven't tried downloading the version for the T-Mobile tab, but I suspect it would work since the hardware on those tabs is almost exactly the same. To sideload apps, I have read about a program called "sideload wonder machine" that is supposed to let you put non market apps onto ATT devices, however I have not tried this either.
Sorry I couldn't have been of more help.

Well that stinks. Any way to get around that? Tried SuperOneClick as it has an option to enable non-market apps but that doesn't seem to help.
I've read about Sideload Wonder machine, problem is you have to have the program you want to load. In this case, I can't even get to Gameloft to get a copy of the game, so I have nothing to load. Stinks!

Are you trying to download the gameloft app from your tab or your computer? Because you should be able to purchase the game from gameloft.com and then use the sideload wonder machine app on your computer to transfer the game onto your tab.
I was trying to purchase directly from the Tab as I thought that was the only way you could buy them. Last night I did discover that you can indeed buy them from your desktop, however it asks you what carrier your on??? I was going to try it but backed out. Could there be a chance the game is coded for a specific model and won't work on my ATT tab? I guess I could try as it's only $5 but just wanted to be sure it would work.
I guess it is possible that gameloft specially coded the game for each tab, but I kind of doubt it. In the case with Apple products (I know it isn't the exact same case, but still similar) one game file (.ipa) will work with an iPhone 4 or an iPod Touch 2nd generation. Considering how similar the hardware and software is between the AT&T and T-Mobile tabs, I would think that if you select the T-Mobile version that it would work. I won't be able to try this myself until tomorrow evening/night, unfortunately. If you don't wish to try it, I will post back with my results.
Well didn't work for me. Looks like you can only download via sms message link. Unfortunately it wasn't clear (not to me anyway) and I entered in my home phone number as I thought that was what was required to validate my credit card number. Thus no way now for me to change it and at least attempt to send to my Tab. That would probably fail as well, so I am SOL.
Edit: Spoke to soon!! I received an email verifying my purchase and low and behold it contained a link that I could download the game to my PC. Installed it fine with Sideload Wonder Machine. Sweet!!
Good news! Did you download the T-Mobile version of the app? And it's running smooth on your tab?
Yes i selected Tmobile as my option. I used the side wonder machine to install and it works perfectly. Its full screen and looks great.

Fullscreen apps on P500
Hello guys, i've installed hero of sparta on my P500 and the game is bigger than my screen, this also happens if i install any of gameloft games, is there any thing i can do to see the games fully fitted on my screen ? Thanks!
I recently restored from Spectrum ROM to my stock rooted Nandroid backup with TWRP; now when I try to install an app to my phone from the Google Play web store on my PC browser it says installed but doesn't push the app to my phone. Also it lists a number of apps as requiring an update but on the device they are up to date.
I have searched the forums and all I could find was to clear app data and cache for the Google Play Store application in settings, which I did but the problem remains. Help would be greatly appreciated as I tend to install apps from my PC often.
You are using the web play store. Try the play app from within the rom.
If you insist on doing the web based. Make sure it is sending to your device/phone #.

Everything works fine within the app on the phone. However I spend a lot of time on PC and Macbook and prefer to research apps on the Play Web Store and send the installs to my phone remotely.
How do you ensure it is sending to your phone #? In Play Web Store settings>device settings my device Telus SGH-i337m is the one listed. When I go to 'my applications' it shows that i'm missing app updates, that apps are installed which I no longer have on the device, and doesn't show some I do have on the device.
I have the same issue on my S4 on Sprint... I wonder if the latest firmware update broken something.
hopefully resolved

Mine is still kinda borked. I can install apps from the play WEB store, but it does not show the proper list of currently installed apps. It shows some that I have deleted long ago. :/
I am on Sprint (LG-LS997). I noticed that it is missing at least the stock email app (not Gmail app).
Does anybody know why? How can I get it?
Anyone? I'm missing it too please.
Sprint for whatever reason is trying to shift to an all Google platform for this device. I am using Bluemail app which is working nicely.

Has any dev successfully ported over an Android (non-gmail) email app from another carrier version of V20?
looking for that as well
Some LG stock apps can be downloaded (as an .apk file) and recompiled with an app called APK Editor on the Play Store, but it's kind of hit and miss as to what works. I honestly think we should make a sticky in one of the forums with links to the downloads to each of these because of how often people (myself included) ask for them.
I can tell you that on a non-rooted LS997, you can get Calculator, Music and Music Widget, Gallery and Email to work. Unless you want to use an Exchange account with it, then you're SOL. The Exchange counterpart is a separate apk that for some reason doesn't work.
Everything else you need root, and even then it's sketchy on the LS997. It would be nice if the dev on the WETA rom would get an LS997 version running because that rom has ALL of the LG apps AND they work. You can install the US996 version, but I could not get the cellular data to work on mine.

Yes, there does appear to be something missing, but that's beyond my expertise. If you do find something, please share! I'd like to see ALL of the stock apps made available to Sprint (and AT&T) users since we got the shaft.
The AT&T Visual Voicemail app that comes pre-installed on the Galaxy Note 9 doesn't appear to be Visual, actually - no transcription, no option in settings to turn it on. The version in the Playstore says Not Compatible with your phone.
I searched XDA-developers entire Galaxy Note 9 forum and don't find this referenced.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Searching online, AT&T forums don't have good answers. Some users have said they found the .apk online and installed it and it works properly.
Does anyone have a good .apk for this?
Places I have "found it" have a lot of click bait.
EDIT: I found 2 different versions, 4.2 and 4.3 - each of them works. I used Package Disabler Pro to disable com.samsung.attvvm, the Visual Voicemail app that came pre-installed, listed as Version 2.0.00.8. Now I am running version 4.3.0.0007.
If anyone else has this problem, and would like the .apk, I can upload it.

Thank you So Much!
The play store said that the app was not compatible with the note 9, and the only way I could even see it was to search the play store on a computer. The site was perfect and it works like a charm!

I was wondering if anyone was able to get Samsung Cloud to work instead of the preloaded verizon cloud. The old trick that I used to do on the S8+ was to install the apk and then use Quick Shortcut Maker app from the playstore to open it. That doesn't seem to work this time around, any ideas? Also had the same question regarding the inbuilt caller ID which verizon replaced with their own, if anyone has messed with it at all.
P.S.- Not trying to flash the unlocked firmware either as that will probably screw with with VoLTE and Wifi Calling
Quick Shortcut Maker still works to access Samsung Cloud on Verizon models as I've been able to do it that way. I also flashed the unlocked version of the firmware and have VoLTE and WiFi calling. Only thing I lost is VVM and video calling which I don't use anyways.

In the OP there is a portion called U1 Unbranded Firmware hosted on AFH.
Easiest thing to do is use Nova launcher. From your home screen, hold to add a widget. Find Nova launcher in the list of widgets and select the Nova activities widget, scroll down to "Samsung account storage" and select the drop-down. From there scroll down to "Samsung Cloud.app.ui.SCloudActivity" and select it. From there you can open it up and there is an option in the settings to add it to your app screen.
Screenshots attached for reference. I have Verizon and it worked for me.

Hey thanks, I looked for the string "Samsung Cloud.app.ui.SCloudActivity" in QuickShortcutMaker and added it through there instead, works perfectly.
Any luck on getting Caller ID enabled without flashing U1 firmware?
Any updates on this method for latest firmware with one ui 2.0? app wont open from shortcut, i can open it through shortcut maker, chose my backup to recover from but it does nothing. when i chose another shortcut it says the app crashed. i didnt have this problem before this new update. didnt even have to use the shortcut maker, i could access it through samsung app.

If you are using unlocked firmware than Samsung cloud isn't a problem. It might need to be installed or updated but no shortcutmaker needed. It's the Verizon firmware that wont let it work.
Sorry to resurrect the dead with this one, but has anyone found a solution yet? I have the Samsung cloud app but it says that it isn't compatible with my device. I have a z flip 4. Originally on T-mobile, then I moved it to Verizon and had to do a warranty exchange.
