pop-up incoming calls - Galaxy A3, A5, A7, A8, A9 Q&A, Help & Troubleshoot

hello. this is the first thread i'm opening so if there any errors i'm sorry in the first place.
before accidentally resetting my phone I had an option to receive calls in pop-up view in settings of phone application.
now i lost that option. it is not there. I've tried everything i can upgrading application to the latest version. Samsung Phone.apk
Samsung Contacts.apk Samsung Call+.apk ; no way the option doesn't come. i receive calls in pop-up view but when I answer them it goes in to full screen. i want it all in popups without any third party app.
My Phone Model is A510FD .
AP: A510FXXS4CQH3
CP: A510FDXXU4CQDL
CSC: A510FDOJP4CQG1
RUNNING ANDROID 7.0
Android Security Patch August 1, 2017.
Rooted android. i also tried to browse database files on settings contacts and phone apk. there is nothing related to pop up.

wow no replies so far. at least someone could tell if their a5-2016 support this option.

Yes. It is a built-in feature and I believe cannot be simply disabled (without tweaking system files). Upon receiving any call while using the phone the pop-up should appear with upcoming call. When not using the phone any upcoming call will default to full-screen notification.
What I remember seing somewhere is that someone had a similar problema as you describe if "Contacts" is not set as "Calling app" under Apps\Default Apps.
Please go ahead and check if this is the case for you.

As you know, the app currently allows viewing by missed OR dialed OR received calls, but we can't view ONLY our incoming and outgoing calls without also seeing the logs of text messages (i.e. we can't view only our calls!).
Adding a "see all calls" option to the existing list would solve this issue by excluding the messages from the list. (Duh, Samsung!)
I'd prefer adapting the existing phone logging function to a new app because a) this would hopefully be an easier mod than creating a new app, and b) this would allow the user to continue to keep a log of messaging but not have to look at it if they don't want to.
And by the way, c) you Developers ROCK!

This new functionality is very ANNOYING!!!!
In the meantime. See if this meets your needs. Although it's not exactly what we need and someone still needs to fix this.
Instead of going to "Logs", go to "Favorites"
(Optional) Menu > Frequent first
(Optional) Menu > Grid View
UNFORTUNATELY this is only based on out-going calls.

There's a free app in the market called Advanced Call Log by NickyCho which does what I'm looking for -- anyone know a way I can have the phone app open this program instead of the stock log (when I open phone, and press the Logs button at the top of the app)?

Awesome, thanks! This works (so far) for me - I'm on dk17 currently using viperROM 2.6.
I downloaded the .apk from the thread, and then used root explorer to rename the existing LogsProvider.apk (found in /system/app) to Logsprovider.apk.bak. Then I pasted Mammon88's into the /system/app directory and rebooted. Voila! Only calls now. Thanks Mammon88! And posters who found it and posted it here!

Froyo call log

Since upgrading to froyo iv noticed messages are appearing in my call log. Dont know about anyone else but i find this to be very annoying when trying to find an unsaved number. Are there any ways to change this feature to display calls only same as before?
Thanks

Unfortunately the phone doesn't have a true 'call log' it instead uses the samsung contact log which I also find to be a bit of an annoyance.
I have the same problem on my epic with froyo. I send about 7000 or 8000 messages a month so this thing is starting to become annoying. Does anyone have a solution? anyway to put the 2.1 dial pad and call log back?
i am also looking to solve this. hate all the smses clogging up call log. typical "smart-ass" decision by samsung.
At least im not the only one that finds this hugely annoying!
Hopefully someone can extract the old one for us to replace this feature
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
I agree! This is very annoying. A simple "only calls" option would be perfect.
A temporary fix is to sort it to "missed calls" or "recieved calls" (depending on what are you looking for), but it's not the same.
Anyone found a fix for this issue yet? Will try asking in the sgstools thread see if he can cook up a fix there.
Thanks.

Workaround
I upgraded to Froyo yesterday and this has been pissing me off all day. Not long after finding this post I found a workaround. I've installed Dialer One from Android Market, and using Launcher Pro, I moved the Froyo phone app from the home screen and put Dialer One in it's place, and also renamed it to Phone on my Launcher Pro home screen. I also replaced the icon on the bottom bar with Dialer One.
Any easier ways to get this sorted?
There is a workaround for this. Check my previous thread on the same subject for details.
Most people don't realize that there are TWO call log apps on the native dialer. The first can be found by opening the native dialer and clicking LOGS. That one has the problem you describe.
The second can be found by opening the dialer, click on CONTACTS and then HISTORY. Click the settings button and unselect "messages".

montrealguy,
I don't have that setting in my sprint epic 4g

When I look under the Contacts and History, it looks correct. Only phone calls showing up. But when I click on the Call Logs in the dialer, it has messages also. You can go to menu and then View By, and modify it here, but no good option to see all but messages.

Same issue here on my Samsung Vibrant on 2.2... Is there a way I could install the apk file from 2.1 to replace the froyo dialer files? It's annoying to have messages show up within my call log, that's what the messages log is for
Bump for someone to please assist... thanks.
If you go to the dialer and then logs and push the menu button and select "view by" you can at least sort by call type. This is with 2.2.1 btw.

[Q] No SMS-notification when receiving a voicemail !?

Hi all,
Need some help here.
I've got my Omnia 7 for almost a year now. I always received an SMS notification when I got a new voicemail. Since recently this doesn't work anymore. I'm not sure when this stopped functioning.
I have recently updated to Mango. A while after that I applied the Samsung Mango update. I suspect one of those updates causes this, but I'm really not sure.
I do get other SMS messages.
I have tried to put my SIM in another phone, called myself, left a voicemail and got an SMS on that phone immediately. Also the other way around, I put another SIM in my phone, call the number of that SIM, leave a voicemail and I did not receive an SMS. This proves, the problem is with my Omnia 7.
I've tried Network Profile. Select another operator. Then select my own operator. Just to make sure all operator settings are applied.
I checked with my operator (dial voicemail and use menu). The SMS notification is enabled. I tried to disable the notification. Restarted the phone. Then enabled the notification again. Restarted the phone again. Still not working.
Anyone has another suggestion? Setting in diagnosis app? Registry setting?
Thanks a lot!!

It's a common bug, M$ is fixing it:
“There have been reports of issues centered around voice mail notification via SMS. This is a known issue and Microsoft have a fix available that will go out in the next possible Windows Phone update.”
http://crowdsupport.telstra.com/t5/...-p/7626/message-uid/7626/highlight/true#U7626
Ok. Cool! Thanks for the heads up! So it's not just me. There are some OEM updates planned for next week (read that on WMPowerUser.com). Maybe that will fix it. I read the temporary fix might be to delete the "sms conversation" from voicemail number after each message. Will try that. Maybe WP7 sees it as duplicates or something.
Ciao,
Heathcliff74
My pleasure
Can't wait for some more updates, Mango needs some polish.
This drove me nuts when i realized it was happening, couldn't for the life of me work out what was going on, rang my network and had them reset voice mail, didn't think it was a phone issue as all my other text msgs arrive fine. At least I know now >< very annoying bug as i use my phone for work and need to know if i have msgs on voice mail.
Have just been going through same arguments with Optus in Australia.
Discovered there was an SMS waaaaay down the list of threads from 321 (VoiceMail) that had one message in it with the current date and time acurately showing the current number of messages in my voice mail box.
It seems that it is somehow updating the previous SMS rather than sending it as a new one.
For a temporary work around I discovered if you delete the SMS thread from your Voicemail then the next notification will be treated as a new SMS and will indicate accordingly. Unfortunately you have to delete the thread every time a new Voicemail is received.

Had to look twice when I saw it was you having trouble sir, a rarity!
Well Heathcliff, after some time I can finally tell you that there is an update available
Change your brand to TMO-DE, and a 7740 update will be waiting for you. Good luck!

[Q] No notifications with Sliding Messaging?

New to Sliding Messaging and like the UI but I'm not getting any notifications of SMS messages and worthless without it.
This was the only SMS other than stock that I had installed. After installation on my unrooted N3, I don't receive notifications at all... no led, vibrate or ringtone. Test notification in the settings of the app worked, but not when messages arrived.
I tried a number of settings within the app such as over-ride the stock app and still no go. In fact the stock SMS notifications stop working even after uninstalling SM. Notifications worked again after I installed handscent but I really just want SM working by itself.
A number of reviews mention similar problems but the developer who replys quickly just keeps blaming it on other SMS apps even after I told him there weren't any other ones installed prior to SM.
Anyone else using SM on the Note 3 having this problem or know of a fix?
Go to settings then security then notification access abs give it access. Not sure if that will work but worth a try.

Settings> App Manager >scroll right to "all" > Pick messages.
is it on? check show notifications
if you don't see it in "all" then its probably off and is in the "Turned OFF" section

This did it. Thanks for the help. Is this new to JB 4.3? I've never seen/needed this setting on my SGIII before.

Verizon wear24 Message app

Hi
I'm trying to get Android messenger working on this. I have message+ disable and cellular also disabled.. I gave Android message permissions but when I click on watch face with message logo
says no app installed.

Yeah, the Verizon face sucks, not much customization but you should be able do it in the android wear app on the phone, works for me. Just remove the message app tab and re add it ( first install the android messanger)
Use different face, watchmaker is great
Hi, I was able to change faces and such, but still unable to send messages with the android app and message+ is disabled. Also my microphone seems to not work, ok google doesn't work and a voice call the other person could not hear me.
kinda a pain. thx
I struggled with it for a bit as well. so what i had to do was do a factory reset (after updating wear 2.0). then somehow, i paired it to my phone, but skipped the rest of the initial setup stuff it wants you to do like giving it your phone number and setting up vzw message. first thing i did was disable all of the system apps like "phone" and "vzw messages" and/or wear24 app. Never having opened vzw messages, i downloaded google messages from play store. It works great now. google now works perfectly. i don't try to make phone calls off of it so can't help you with that part. but make sure you turn the cellular radio off after every reboot (just to save battery).
this is an amazing whatch for someone like me who does not *want* to have an lte watch. I just wanted a bluetooth only watch with a high res screen, big battery, modern wear processor for $80 shipped. - nfc and heartrate and swappable bands would be nice, but oh well. It gives me all of my notifications so i don't have to take out a phone during meetings and it's much snappier than my urbane was. - nfc, heartrate, and swappable bands would be nice, but oh well.
I've disabled msg+ and installed android messenger.
I can receive texts, but the only way I can send a text is via google assistant because even though the app is installed, the icon wont show in the app drawer.
But after I go through the voice process (send txt to blah blah blah), it errors out on sending it.
I've granted all permissions
Since there are not many Wear24 threads here I will see if any of you can help.
I agree with mistermojorizin - for the price it is now if is a good watch. My issues is this:
I want to use LTE and have it working fine. I can send and response to messages from Message+ (ugh), but when I use google assistant to send a message - which I have done often with other watches - I says sending with watch and hangs on a spinning wheel.
Anyone else see this and have a suggestion? If I could change the app that Assistant uses to send the message to Message+ that might solve the issue, but I haven't see how to do that.

If you try and send text message but it says send from watch and just sits there spinning, you need to disable VZW from sim info. That will also help battery life too. Only thing not working on my watch is the mic in a call. I'm using it with BT/WiFi only with my P2XL on T-Mobile.
I have installed Android Messenger and it works for me with the voice to text, I like that one a lot.
The watch in general is great, I wish that the speaker was louder (as I thought that it will be) and the NFC to be working. I paid $94 CAD for it, you can't even get a used Moto360 first gen in good condition for this price, never mind a high end device.
The band could be replaced, if you don't have Verizon for a provider why would anyone care for the antenna anyway? I have a Moto360 first gen and this is better with the Android Wear 2.0 and bigger battery, after 11 hours of moderate usage I am at 51% of battery remainig which is pretty decent.
Happy so far

Thanks for the siminfo trick. I think that might have done the job for getting voice assistant to use android messages instead of Verizon messages+. Before that, I could respond to text messages but just couldn't initiate a message using voice.
I also disabled the Verizon apps where I could. And I "deleted" Verizon as a carrier altogether (in the siminfo area). The other things I did to get going (and not wait for the system/google updates) was to sideload android wear 2.8, google play services, and finally the google app using ADB on my iMac. It needed all three it appeared.
Here's the command for ADB:
adb connect [IP of your watchort] (I didn't use a port)
adb install -r [app.apk]
Liking the wear24 quite a bit so far as compared to my old Moto 360 1st gen which is still going strong after a battery replacement. Kind of wish the watch diameter was as wide as the Moto 360. I'll do a video comparison of the two soon (makethistechwork.com).

Thank you for the info! I'm using this watch with a Pixel XL and Tmobile just like you. However, even after disable version from the sim info, it still doesn't work. I have the same issue as before where it says that could not connect to a phone. I've included some screenshots showing my sim-info to illustrate what I'm talking about. Kindly suggest anything else that I can do since I've tried everything including factory resets.Thanks!
After updating the wear app and android messages, I can see previews of all my text threads, but when I tap the threads, messages crashes. Has anyone else seen this with all the recent updates?
EDIT: After futzing with permissions for a few seemingly related apps, Messages no longer crashes on me. I could swear I had already tried all of the changes I made this last round, but maybe I missed one every other time. If anyone else runs into this, I'll be happy to share permission settings to see if it helps.

Sure. First, I'll mention that I have removed all of the VZ carrier information, as suggested in this thread, as I don't use nor plan to use VZ, so that may or may not have anything to do with it.
I also disabled Message+, the default text app, in system app settings. I did not touch permissions there.
On to permissions... I pretty much went with all or nothing, looking through system apps and messing with anything that might have to do with messaging...
Android Messages: All on
Phone: All on
Wear OS: All on except storage
As I said, I had reset the phone a few times, and the last time, directly off of reset, my order was: update Google and WearOS system apps, disable Message+, install Android Messages, change permissions, open Android Messages. I didn't try to open Messages until after checking permissions.
