Hey Guys.
I just received my Optimus G Pro from the US. I have unlocked it and its working fine in the UK on EE. However when I open up contacts it keeps trying to load AT&T Address Book which is really annoying. I just press back and it goes back to the regular contacts menu, but is there any way of disabling it? I have managed to disable all of the other AT&T bloatware from the main application drawer. Any ideas?
Thanks.

Go in to your setting and under accounts and sync you can disable it. Its in the general section.

I don't see an option to disable that. If I click on it it opens up and wants to sync. Long pressing does nothing and there are no check boxes to uncheck.
Thanks but I tried that and there is no option to disable it. Is there any other way or will I have to root?

I had the same problem, I ended up rooting and freezing all at&t apps with Titanium Backup, after that no more annoying at&t contact backup crap, or Drive Mode, or Navigator, etc.

You can go into apps in setting then to Att address book and stop it from there too. On mine I can just tap Att address book in the sync area and the it opens up and then you can check it or not to stop the sync

If you're rooted then you can always change the AAB.apk to AAB.bak with Root Browser (or any other root file explorer) and that'll disable it. I prefer this method to uninstalling just in case I need to do a software upgrade-it's easy enough to reverse without having to flash back to stock.

After you get into your contacts, go into settings -> display options then scroll to the bottom and select customize. UNCHECK at&t address book. After that it shouldnt try to open it.

If rooted do not uninstall de AT&T adress book. It is tied with the stock contac app. And if you do like i did in the past with at&t phones you will not be able to open the stock contac app. Your phone will say Apk not found. And then you will have to download a contac app like go contacs. It is best to just disable it. Very clever at&t with theyre crap.

There are several options. The easiest thing is to make the root and then uninstall AT & T Address Book, all you do with Rom ToolBox. For the other applications. You just have to enter settings - Applications - All - Looking for the At & t and then: Force stop, turn off the notifications, delete the cache and then turn off. That's it!! It's that easy. If my information help you, just give clicking Thanks!
Other solution
I know this is an old post, but maybe someone know how can I remove the AT&T address book without rooting the device. Every time I'm on wifi or 3g and I open contacts this application opens first. It is extremely annoying. I just have an app from work which requires from device not too be rooted so I must find some other solution.
Thank you.
I never set mine up and it doesn't pop up. Maybe click through it without setting it up? There must be a way to do it because I haven't used root to force any of my AT&T apps. There's also an att address book options under accounts and sync. Maybe you can use that to stop it.

Nothing works, those AT&T guys closed all the options I could think off. In accounts they doesn't have the option to stop it. BTW, I never set mine up as well. But every time I get into "contacts" it starts connection with the AT&T address book to give me instructions how to set it up. It is really, really annoying.
Thank you.
A little late, but...
On my LG G2, I cannot disable the AT&T address book, but I never see it or use it during normal use. The only time I see it is if I either look into the apps section (where it can be stopped, but cannot be disabled), or if I go into "Accounts and Sync", where is shows the accounts such as Google, Skype, etc. If I click on "AT&T Address Book" there, it opens and asks:
Do you want to sync this device with the contacts in your online AT&T Address Book?
I click on "No", and it says
Activate AT&T Address Book at a later date by simply selecting AT&T Address Book from the settings menu of your device address book.
I of course would never do that.
I found a menu yesterday with "hidden menus" app from the play store. Try dialing *#*#2666#*#* and setting "registration" to "completed". You might also tinker with those settings and see if it stops it.

Thank God for small favors (and good info) this is the only thing that worked for me. I used to root and uninstall it or flash a dif. Rom. But I wanted the updates I missed and the future ones, so I flashed back to stock and of course got the cursed "you cant stop me, haha" ATT address book!!!
Are there any visual voicemail options for people with the Pixel XL on sprint? I can't seem to get anything working properly.
Would like to know this as well?
You can activate it in phone settings.

Not sure if it's a carrier thing or because I tried to set it up with Google voice but it only dials into voicemail and none are ever shown on the tab, even though I have a notification for vm
It's been so long since I've had Sprint. Did they move people from their old Sprint VVM app to GV? I've been using GV in place of it on whatever GSM carrier ever since I switched from the Sprint Hero. Works fine on my Pixel XL.

Best option for you guys is set up the Google voice app and enable the option to integrate with the dialer. Hope that works.

I couldn't get gv to work. When people called me they heard silence instead of my voicemail. Tried redoing the whole setup, no joy. Super weird. I didn't do the integration with Sprint though, because people sometimes use my gv number
Sprint changed the dialer codes for forwarding messages. I think it is now *73. Google never updated the app.

I did try this, you don't flash it from what I can tell, you simply copy it over. I don't have root so I simply installed it and it does launch, however, it can't register itself and can't update itself. Sorry for rezing an old topic but this is the only thread I've found where it isn't just straight *****ing about the issue instead of trying to fix it.
To get visual voicemail, it has to be through the carrier. Telus finally got it up here in Canada and I have been using it since launch
Use this

This is what I use, although I am on Verizon. I love it. It's free and will carry over to any service you use.
Thanks for the updated app, but the account verification still doesn't work, it fails. Maybe we need the "my Sprint" app as well?
Edit:Nope
I have the T-Mobile variant and cannot get Android messages to work. Notifications don't show in the status bar and no sound. Texts come through, but I have no idea when they do. Is anyone else with the T-Mobile version having this issue. It's driving me crazy that I can't figure it out, and I've tried everything I know how to do to get it to work.

I can't figure it out so I gave up and I'm doing the same. Stock app it is until maybe someone figures it out
I'm having the same issue. Issue started happening for me yesterday. Not sure what's causing it.
From my experience, this is happening due to T-Mobile's RCS/Advanced Messaging. I too installed Android Messages, and found that when on Wi-Fi I do not receive notifications alerts from incoming messages, when on mobile data it's fine. Sadly disabling the stock messaging app didn't solve the issue, and you can't disable RCS services. Also, this only occurs when messaging other T-Mobile Android devices equipped with RCS support. So I get T-Mobile iPhone and other carrier SMS since they aren't being sent as a RCS message. Try it out and see if it's the same for you, but this has been my conclusion, the system doesn't alert you cause RCS isn't a standard SMS reply.

Honestly I gave up. I can't get it to work at all. Almost everyone I know has T-Mobile, and even the people that don't I still get no notification. The stock one is ok and it's pretty much Android messages it just lacks some of the customization options. Stock also doesn't support GIF insertion from the keyboard. Just weird that all the other RCS compatible phones I have had before never had this issue. I was using Android messages on my s8+ without any issues.

Understandable. I too wanted to use it for GIF support. I'm hoping it gets fixed in am update. I actually submitted feedback to Lenovo being an ambassador for the device at my job. So here's hoping.
Maybe try this, it says it activates all the advanced features from the carriers in it Android messages. I don't get many texts so I haven't had a chance to try it out.

This only works with carriers who opt to use universal RCS profile. Sadly, T-Mobile uses its own version of RCS. Sprint uses universal, so that would work with Android Messages on Sprint.
T-Mobile is working on support. Some places are rumored to already having it working. By this here it should be out for everyone by end of 2017.

Yes, they indeed are. Sadly, the promise is at by the end of the year.
I think they'll support all the major ones but they got to make sure they'll play nice with each other.

Greetings,
I have just installed OOS 5.0.3 and I am unable to use K-9 Mail. Initially, I can open the app but if I try to import account settings or after adding an account it force closes. I didn't have this problem with Open Beta, is anyone else using K-9 Mail with 5.0.3 and having troubles?
Edit: would anyone else who is running 5.0.3 please try installing K-9, setting it up and letting me know if it works on their phone? This way I would know if it is just my phone that's not working on.
Edit: I installed OB 37 and had no problem until I removed Chrome. K-9 would not open. I reinstalled Chrome and it started working again. Strange.

Get a log and that will tell you what is going on. This way you can send the log to either 1+ or the k-9 dev. Depending on the issues. Might even be both.

Thanks @zelendel, I sent feedback to the K-9 dev with that automated massage that appears when an app force closes. I have no clue how to go about reading a log. I was just hoping someone else could confirm that the app is working or not with 5.0.3 first. That way I would know if it it just on my phone and I could clean install or something.

For something like that I would have posted on the one plus forums as there is where you are most likely to find people using the OEM software. Not many people here use the stock software.

Hi Guys
I m just wondering if anyone else is having those issues with their phone :
- Can't activate Google Assistant by saying "Hey or Ok Google". Apparently the feature is unavailable for this phone.
- Whatsapp : cant take selfie picture using the APP. The camera just freezes when you try.
- Cant change the gallery app used while taking photos. Even when picking my prefered APP as default, the camera reverts back to Vivo's app : Album
- Android Auto (well it looks like it won't happen!)
I m sure I ll find more issues in the next few weeks
Dj
Same on my phone. Whatsapp camera freezes when taking a selfie. About the album I think that's how most of the camera apps work - they come with their own album. I tried "open camera" app and it allowed me to choose which gallery app to open the pictures with. Other camera apps, however, came with their own album.
HI Hamza
Thanks for your info.
I found a way around the selfie issue. Simply press the paper clip logo in the "typing box" then long press the camera logo and choose take a photo, it will then open the phone's camera APP rather than whatsapp's.
From there you can take selfies.
The WhatsApp selfie bug is fixed after latest upgrade.
Phone update or Whatsapp's?
I still have the same issue.
I guess you are lucky with your iQOO 9 pro as you don't have any problems with touch screen and camera. The device that I used had the infamous iqoo 9 pro touch screen problem and camera problem.
The touch screen was unresponsive almost all the time. The camera app was launching but was becoming unresponsive and unusable.
I've made a video on the touch problem and camera problem that I had experienced. You can watch the video from the below link and check your phone for these problems.

You are on funtouch or origin
Make sure you grant all permissions on the stock Vivo SMS app before switching the default messaging app to Google Messages, otherwise Google Messages won't work.

How did you do that Can you explain me please why a New APN just for Mms. Can you give me an exemple of how you set this new one only for MMS. Thanks
The MMS APN is unique for each carrier. I have attached the Vivo Origin OS Ocean apn-config system file. You can open it using Windows Notepad. Just use the 'find' feature in the Notepad menu and search for your carrier (telecom service provider). Once you have found your carrier, you will see their APN LTE (for voice and data), APN MMS (for text messages with pictures), and for some carriers APN IMS (for VoLTE and WiFi Calling). Go to Settings/Mobile Network/Sim and 'add' a new APN using the MMS APN for your carrier from Vivo's apn-config file.
