Is Spam Working on Android 10? - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

I dont seem to be receiving smart/spam/fraud notifications on Android 10 like i was on Android 9.
Is it working for anyone?
Even when i used to go into call history it would show smart by some numbers it looked up from the internet. Now it doesn't seem to show them either.

It works on android 10, the problem may be that the database is not updated or that you do not have it activated.

[Q] No function to hide caller id ponctually ? (app to hide number except contact)

Hello,
I was on windows mobile, and I used a basic function which can hide my callerID to all numbers out of my contact list, very usefull to show me to all my contacts and not my customers.
I searched on the phone such an option but nothing, so I don't worry I go to the Market thinking a very simple function must exist there, but nothing...
I open my computer search about it and see a message that someone try this but can't find function in the SDK for the caller ID ?
Is there a way to do it (even if i have to do the app but I don't want to lose many hours to understand android coding if it's simply impossible !)
Thanks a lot if you have an idea on the question.
Hi!
On gsm networks you can add #31# at the beginning of the phone number to hide caller ID. In US use *67 (untested).

I`m looking for the same thing. One simple application that can hide my ID by pressing one button.
I`ve looked everywhere.Googled,searched Market and nothing. All apps are for US users. Prefix #31# or 141 doesnt work in UK. At least in O2 UK. Dont know about others.
So PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE anyone who know anything about Android apps to make something that might help. I`m tired of going to settings and hiding my ID everytime i want to speak with my customers
I am using cm7 and in the call settings there is a setting for caller id. You can have it be private public or network determined.
I do agree that it would be a great app to have your id hidden to people outside of your address book. I think it would have to be an alternative dialer though

Android Wear iOS - Enable features not supported

As we know setting up the application using the iOS version of Android Wear removes certain features from the smart watch.
I have my LG Ubrane setup with my iPhone and indeed the wifi settings are not in the menu.
It seems that data remains on the filesystem even after a factory reset, when you configure the watch using Android it copies across the wpa_supplicant.conf.
When you reset the device and configure it using the iOS app the files remain so the wifi works, but theres no option to configure the menu.
If you run the following command it will bring the wifi settings into view:
Code:
adb shell am start -n com.google.android.apps.wearable.settings/com.google.android.clockwork.settings.wifi.WifiSettingsActivity
However i cant find a way of having this option enabled in the settings menu.
If setup the device using Android and used TWRP to backup the DATA folder, then setup using iOS and again TWRP to backup the DATA folder. Ive then done a diff but for the life of me I cant see where the settings is being configured. The APK files are the same so there must be a local file dictating whats enabled or not.
So my questions is, where on Android wear is the com.google.android.apps.wearable.settings packing getting its configuration?
Many Thanks
Hope you get this reply, as I have been working on this same thing or similar for a long time. I was able to get the watch to make calls from my iPhone, and the ability to receive and answer calls on the watch. The issue is that the only calls that come through that are answerable with the watch, are numbers that are not in my contact list. I've searched up and down, even got the android wear app on the iPhone to prompt for contacts sync, and the contacts do in fact sync. In the data folder of com.google.android.apps.wearable.settings, if you change the value of "setup skipped" to "1" instead of "2", you get the whole UI, the one you would get with a paired android phone. The same goes with "bluetooth mode" switching to '1" from "2". When either of these are switched, the watch still connects with the iPhone, but does not receive notifications (i.e. text messages, app notifications, etc.) Also, the google voice search stops working, yet you can manually check the weather fine with the weather app on the watch. I am using a jailbroken iPhone, and was able to get permission for contacts sync using the tweak "Flex 2". If you have found out anything new since you posted this, please let me know. Lastly, I was able to get the watch to make calls by having it paired for both BLE and standard bluetooth, so when you look at the list of paired/connected bluetooth devices on my iPhone, my watch shows up twice, both connected at the same time. I was also able to get the input methods (keyboard selection) to show up in settings, but am unable to make it happen again.
Hi,i also have my lg urbane connected to my iphone ,but there are no much things i can do.i cant even make a phone call from the watch.i am using ios 9.2 so i cant jailbreak it to use flex and get some tweaks.so what i want to ask is,if there is a way to make a phone call or even reply to text messages.please reply ,all iphone users want to find a solution for this problem.MAKE ANDROID WEAR

This is not an answer!!sorry for the trouble

Do People realize that call blocking apps have ceased to work on 7?

It is all about the blocking app being able to hangup. Somehow 7 prevents this so all blockers must let the blocked caller go to voicemail. Thanks Google! Did they want the on board blocking to not look as pathetic as really is?
I am looking into Tasker as work around but I am a noob at that app. It may also not work there at all either.
My Googling seems to reveal it being device independent.
So if blocking then 7 forces them to VM! What a letdown this is.
I have voicemail switched off permanently, root call blocker work as a charm.

I have the ..01 phone & only get to have a warranty.
The stock dialer app allows calls to be blocked under call details. thats the only option but it works for me.
Native call block
If your mzp is up to date, then you should have native call block support in dialer settings. If not, you can use Google dialer and use that as your default dialer.
The best premium apps have voicemail blocking by virtue of the answer & hangup ability.
The stock app/dialer does not offer this feature. It is lame featureless facility.
Both on my old Sony Xperia M4 Aqua and on my new HTC 10, I've used a method that always worked (Lollipop on the M4 Aqua, Nougat/Oreo on the HTC 10).
- Root;
- Install Xposed Installer;
- Install GIN Call Blacklist from the Xposed Module Database (in app, installs the Pro version).
In neither of the two phones I was able to block private calls. I could block individual numbers and names, but private numbers were a no-go.
With GIN Call Blacklist, supported by its Xposed module, those private calls are gone. But there's still something that annoys me.
On the M4 Aqua, I wouldn't even be notified whenever a private call was blocked. Now, on the HTC 10 (Oreo), despite my efforts, I always get a dialer notification that a private call was blocked.
The phone vibrates for a second and shows the notification, but it happens so fast that the ringtone has no time to play.
Despite that, it works. That's that matters. Although it hasn't been updated since 2015.

Voice Mail on Google Phone

Hello,
I have a small problem : the tab "voice mail" is not showing up anymore on my phone app (google native), next to the contacts tab.
I don't get notifications either that someone left me a message (so I have a ton of messages on my voice mail).
I didn't do anything particular, and I checked that the good voicemail number was registered on my google phone settings.
PS : I'm running android stock 8.1 with latest Oreo Pixel 2 Mod.
Thanx in advance
For those who have the same problem, it solved all by itself with latest google phone update.
Up
I'm on latest oreo build, with stock app phone, and I can't see the voice mail tab. I don't even receive messages saying i have new voice mails.
anyone experiencing this issue ?

Wear24: Able to use as standalone LTE device (on Verizon) without Message+?

Hi all, like many, I was able to get a good deal on the Wear24. I've searched and read through many of the posts here, but have not found an answer to my question:
Has anyone successfully enabled the Wear24 to use as a standalone device (added to their Verizon data plan, able to get its own data and make phone calls) and NOT use Message+ for messaging?
I see plenty of posts about being able to use Android Messages instead, but they involve not linking to your Verizon plan/phone number (bypassing that part of setup, then disabling Message+). I'd like to be able to have my Wear24 act as a standalone device on Verizon (for data, primarily, but also calls), but not be limited to Message+ for messaging (or have to use any other bloatware).
Thanks in advance!
From what I have read you need to use Message+ to do the number sync between the phone and the watch.
In all honesty I used to use Android messenger but I've switched over to message+ long before I got this watch. They've improved it so much I actually prefer it over any messenger out there. Maybe give it another try, it may just solve your problem? Just a thought

I was able to switch to use Android Messages and keep LTE and number sync. Here's how I did it...
1. Activate watch on Verizon and go through the steps to step up calling and messaging with Messages+. This is important as it creates the association between the watch's mobile number and your phone's mobile number for number sync.
2. Let watch update to Android 2.0 if it hasn't done so already
3. Do a factory reset on the watch
4. On reboot, readd watch to Android Wear app on your phone but DO NOT activate calling, instead click SKIP.
5. Promptly go to play store on your watch and download Android Messages and let it install
6. Go to settings/apps/system apps on the watch and disable both Messages+ and wear24.
That should do the trick! I've tested it by turning the host phone off, switching watch to LTE only connection and was able to send and receive texts from Android Messages. These texts had my phone's mobile # on them as proof that number sync still works. After that I also signed into Play Music on the watch and was able to stream music without issue.
There are a few issues that I haven't worked out yet but are definitely not deal breakers.
1. I can no longer make calls from the watch in LTE only mode. Honestly, the speaker on this watch is junk so I don't mind.. When connected via Bluetooth it still works also.
2. Can't initiate texts via Google Assistant. Again, not a deal breaker at all. You can still reply either directly from notification or the Android Messages app itself.
I believe both of these shortcomings could be corrected if someone could figure out how to change the default messaging and calling apps in Android Wear to point elsewhere than Messages+.
After making these changes I'm pretty happy with my $50 investment! Hopefully these changes will help you guys as well. If someone were to figure out nfc and Android Pay I'd never look at my Gear S2 again

Do you have to pay additionally for the watch data? I bought it for 50 bucks off tech rabbit
I can't get LTE to work on my watch? Any steps to get that to work. I have a Verizon pixel 2. Do I need message+ on my phone?

You do have to pay an additional $5 per month, and a $30 activation fee to get stand alone lte through vzw. You also get another line in your account for it with its own number. I just did this, but it doesn't seem to be working correctly because I use yaata not android messenger or messages+.

Oh didn't realize you had to pay! Not worth it for me! I always have my phone anyway! The watch is great even without LTE stand alone
