Advanced Calling & Caller Name ID - Verizon HTC One (M9)

On the Verizon M9, you can't have both Advanced Calling and Caller Name ID enabled at the same time. My wife's Galaxy S6 got an update yesterday and one of the fixes was that you could now enable Advanced Calling and Caller Name ID at the same time. Does anyone know if the 5.1 update we just received for the M9 allows you to enable both at the same time now? Thanks!!

I would highly doubt it. You have to remember the s6 and the phone that shall not be named are Verizon's golden geese. The m9 is the ugly step child.

HTC One X on Rogers - Name Caller ID

I have International Quad Code model working on Rogers.
Rogers and Fido exclusively support so called "Name Caller ID" i.e. if someone calls you who is NOT in your contact list, still the NAME of the person calling appears on the screen.
This feature worked on my earlier phones such as Sony Xperia, Motorola Razr and I though HTC One X would also work. But apparently its not
Any one can suggest how to fix this? or any one else with HTC X international version could confirm same issue on Rogers/Fido?
I don't believe the phone supports the feature. I can't remember any htc phone that I have had on rogers that worked with name display.

That is a pity .... I am having thoughts of selling mine now since Name Caller ID is essential for me.
I should have checked before buying

man there is an app for that u can make it run in the back ground it takes nothing from ur ram and all those stuff its called "whozcalling" it will give u the name of the caller and so on as long as u got 3g or wifi on ur phone its really good or there is another app u can get u type in the number and it gets u the name i forgot its name
its sad to sell this beast just for this problem so i guess this will help
Apps like Whozcalling are great when they report a name, but I have noticed that they don't seem to be able to report business names, not sure if they can pull names form Rogers cell phones either. I just tested it from my office phone and my Galaxy SII correctly presented the name, Whozcalling showed unknown caller.
I am also thinking of getting the One X but this could be a deal breaker for me even though I really like HTC Sense and the camera in the One looks to be amazing.
I really wish that Rogers would either ask HTC to add this to their phones for them (huge exclusivity advantage to Rogers, discourages ppl from buying international versions) or Rogers could figure out a way to add the feature to their phones, I mean they know how to customize the boot logo and add all their crapware, why not add some code to support a feature that they sell?
Every time I have this argument with Rogers they claim that they don't modify the Android build that comes with phones in any way, WTF? How does all that Rogers branded stuff get on there then? I guess the issue is that unless it is on their computer screens, they don't know the answers to anything, they must hire people who have never owned a cell or smartphone before in their lives.
I've been on Fido for some 5 years. Had this issue on many smartphones. Solution was to have Fido "exclude" the Whocalled feature from my line. In theory, it's still part of my package, but it's disabled. I'm not sure if that's what you were asking...but while it was active, it screwed up ALL my calls (eg I could not see number ID if not in my address book, nor name ID if in my address book).
If this is what you want --> call Rogers and ask for it exactly like that "need to exclude WhoCalled". Insist if they push back (eg we cannot exclude a feature in a package you have).
Hope this helps.

Sorry I meant Name Display...although I also excluded WhoCalled!
Just spoke to Rogers technical support level 2 and they can't confirm if Rogers HTC X works with Name Display or not!
I would happily trade my Quad Core with Rogers Dual Core if it works.
Can anyone with Rogers HTC One X confirm "Name display" is working or not?
Thanks

International HOX on AT&T

Hi all,
I've got a few quick questions that I was not able to find the direct answer to in other threads.
1) I'm using an unlocked international HOX on AT&T. I'm on firmware version 1.5 and am unable to get the phone to update. Do I have to do something out of the norm for the phone to see an update?
2) I saw the answer the other thread about Google Wallet being disabled in the States. Is there an APK or something I can load that will allow google wallet to work?
I'm coming from an Iphone 4S and this phone rocks!
Thanks for the help guys!

1. No, updates are pushed out in batches so your batch must not have received it yet.
2. If you have Google Wallet it will work just fine, it does on the Nexus.

As stated in the other threads, I'm able to download Google Wallet but it says that it is not available in my region (SE United States). I'm wondering why the Nexus and other phones are able to use Wallet on AT&T but the international/unlocked version of the One X isen't.. Strange..
In regards to the update, has anyone in the US been able to upgrade past 1.5?
Thanks all!

Yes. Do a Google search as that's how people got it working on the VZW GN early on. A word of caution. Using the hack leaves all of your GW data open to any apps you have running on your phone. I want GW but, IMHO, it's not worth the risk.
just tried to download. installs, but won't open - not yet certified on device/carrier. i'm on at&t prepaid. wonder if anything will change once at&t lte is widely sold? not a biggie for me personally, but something to think about when it comes down to deciding on which version of the one x to purchase.

i am too much of a noob at this to have truly useful info. i'm in hawaii. i bought a micro-sim off amazon and signed up for the minimal $2/day when used unlimited talk/text plan plus a small data package, because i don't talk/text very much and i'm usually at home, where i have my own wi-fi set up. so having at&t is a fallback for when i'm out and about. that being said, phone calls are clear. checking email and, for example, pulse news service via at&t has been excellent. the one x is notably faster than my acer tablet. haven't tried mms, but i think it should work pretty well; email with a downloaded file that had been pdf'd whizzed through to my laptop, as did a screen cut of photos using dolphin, though that was off home wi-fi. don't see why at&t wouldn't work as well. what i'm waiting for now is to find out if i can get a good bluetooth headset to work (voice commands and all). if so, i may move to another plan so i can use the phone more extensively and downgrade my landline service to the absolute minimum.
All right. Sent a couple of photos via mms from my net10 phone to the one x w/ home wi-fi off. Net10 is running off Sprint in Hawaii. No problemo. Everything came through fine - and quickly.
Looks to me like the big issue for some of the non-techies like me who aren't about to fumble with rooting might be accessing U.S. only apps. Hoping that won't apply to bluetooth headset usability too.

i updated the other thread re non-availability of certain apps on non-us htc one x, but for those on at&t like me with unrooted phones, i will add the info here as well. i managed to download google voice on my one x (at&t prepaid) by using dolphin hd browser to google search "google voice." when the results page came up, i clicked the link that took me to the play store and downloaded. the app opened and seems to be working fine. i was unable to download it by going to the play store directly, so the browser may add some kind of filter which makes this possible?
i can't be totally sure that all google voice options will work, because i chose to install the "lite" version - i only wanted my voicemail kicked back to my phone to avoid having to use the phone to check voicemail. (i'm on the $2/day unlimited text/talk plan and if i have to use the phone only to check a random voicemail, i'm throwing my money away.) called my one x from my landline phone and a still-in-use net10 phone and left messages. seems to work. i used my gmail account as the voicemail recipient. no google phone number.
additional info for anyone planning to use a sophisticated bluetooth headset like blueant q2. i purchased one that was at&t branded. does not function completely. the most critical features - voice commands, voice dialing - are not supported in ics, so while the blueant will pair and one could presumably answer an incoming call, the other key features are unavailable. this appears to be a function of ics and not of at&t, though i assume at&t could tweak its own branded htc one x's to overcome that? i have a jawbone era coming in maybe next week and plan to purchase one of the apps available in the play store to test both headsets at the same time. the app's developer told me he has been trying to get his app to work smoothly with ics. it already handles the blueant in other versions of android.

I'm using a Q2 also. The problem isn't ICS; it's HTC. They left "voice dialer" out of thier ROM. I found APK's from other ICS devices but they don't work. Either a dev has to create one or HTC has to include one for native voice dialing to work. In the meantime I'm using Vlingo. When you use the "in car" mode the phone listens for commands over BT after you say "hey, Vlingo." You can also dictate texts and have incoming texts read back. When you activate it on the Q2 by saying "phone command," it starts up and is listening even though the Q2 says "feature not available." It's not too battery friendly though. Not perfect, but workable.
thanks for the info. is your phone rooted?
everything i found on the net elsewhere says it's android that is the problem re voice dialing - that development was dropped even before ics. does vlingo support announcing incoming caller id on the q2? and follow through on the answer/ignore response? (really, for someone who doesn't use the call function much, i am being very picky. but sophisticated means it should do all things well.)

I'm stock. Vlingo lite is free in the Market so play around with it.
mine will hopefully be here Fri, Mon, or Tue. i didn't think to try to get on a free phone's plan, so i'm getting robbed every month paying $70 (7% student discount wow thanks) for 2 GB, 450 mins (over 400 of which i don't use), and zero text. as soon as i can, i'm switching to Red Pocket. i also thought there was some way ATT was catching people with smartphones on gophone cards and turning their data off or something, to force them to come in and get the 4G sim and pay more. if not, good deal. i stay on wifi, but if i'm out and need data and it's too slow, then i won't be happy.

Google Voice?

i just switched to AT&T and have been using GV for years on Sprint. Like to know if the issues are m10 GV or AT&T.
its not letting me change my carrier voicemail or forwarding number.
i am on viper rom right now but i tried it on Ice and leedroid also.
any ideas on a fix?

i was able to get into vm settings on the phone and changed my vm number there. should that make it work even tho i wasnt able to change the carrier?
No, he means did you set it up to forward to your AT&T number? If you switch carriers you have to set it up all over again.

I've had this issue with all of the european custom ROMS. they don't support call forwarding or Volte on ATT. I've done extensive testing on this issue with the M8 and M9 as well and it's something to do with the telephony apk and libs on the wwe base.
This is a pain, but the quickest way to setup GV on a custom wwe (401) based rom, is make a full backup your custom ROM in TWRP, restore your stock system (617 I'm assuming), setup GV, then restore your custom ROM. You MIGHT need to wipe data after you restore stock, but I would try without wiping first. If you still get the error in call forwarding menu, then go back to twrp and wipe data too.

I also have the same issue with GV on AT&T. But this issue preceded the arrival of my HTC 10. I used GV over AT&T successfully on my HTC One M8 for over 2 years, but somehow in the last couple of months it stopped working and kept going to AT&T voice mail. Same behaviour on my new HTC 10. I think it's something with AT&T network.

How old is your sim card? I know this sounds like a stock solution from no-nothing ATT support, but Volte and call forwarding didn't work on my wife's A9 until I got her a new sim card instead of the old one from her iphone 5. Of course, that doesn't really explain why it would suddenly stop working.
If you are truly stock, call forwarding should work. What happens when you go to call forwarding settings in your call settings? Does your AT&T VM number show up, or do you get an unexpected network error?
Anyway, if it IS an att network issue, it's not happening in my area. Call forwarding is working as expected here.
The easiest way would be to borrow someone else's ATT phone, put your SIM in, set the call forwarding, transfer SIM. The network stores your values. If that doesn't work, it's an ATT issue with SIM provisioning and your best bet for fixing that is getting a new SIM and starting over.

Any ATT phone will work. The call forwarding moves with the SIM, not the phone. I have T-Mobile and when I was trying out TPO mobile, I had my T-Mobile SIM in my Leon. I set my Leon to forward all calls to my TPO number and put the TPO SIM in my Note 5. When I decided I was going to keep T-Mobile, I took the SIM from my Leon and placed it back in my Note 5 and all of my call forwarding settings went with the SIM.

We all have them lol.
The issue is because of VoLTE/HDVoice. You cannot provision those on a proper build.
Go online to ATT.com and click on the support tab, open a chat and have a tech manually set your conditional forwarding options.
I just had to do this myself.
You can try to hack around it as mentioned above but it doesn't tend to stick and will need to be reset. Online support is the only way to properly get it configured.

I've made a few posts about this, there is a provisioning bug that doesn't process the carrier XMLs/.prop's properly.
After a reset or anything similar be sure to boot the phone WITHOUT the SIM installed, let it fully boot and get through the welcome/setup portion until you see the home screen.
Then insert the SIM and you should trigger the carrier provisioning option. It'll tell you it needs to reboot and then should allow you to pick the carrier and finish provisioning.
Alternately
You can insert a SIM from another carrier and that will reset the provisioning. Then re-insert your SIM and go through provisioning again.
I had the same issue for days and finally sorted it out. I have VoLTE/HDVoice active and it works with almost ALL phone numbers dialed not just other VoLTE/HDVoice users.

Bought unlocked SM-G965U1 in the US but it's missing features required by Rogers

Hi everyone,
So we are from Canada and use Rogers because we need caller ID with name, not just number and Rogers is the only one that has that. We were in the US months ago so bought 2 Galaxy S9+ from BestBuy unlocked, model SM-G965U1.
Unfortunately caller ID with name is not working. Rogers said it's because I'm using a phone not purchased in Canada and that they cannot help me. If I put my SIM in my Pixel, S6, S7, S8 they show the name of the caller every time. In addition, when I go under phone settings, the "Caller ID and spam protection" feature is greyed out and set to Off.
Is there any way to install the Rogers firmware on here, or even Rogers carrier settings or something to possibly get caller ID with name working or am I SOL? I found firmware for it on Sammobile but they are all for US providers. Super disappointed as I use my phone for work so not having name display is really unproductive.
Curious, but would an app like Hiya work for you in Canada?

Apps would work but the problem is when multiple people call from the same number. For example 416-123-1234 if that's my company number, if I call out it shows my name and that number, if John Smith calls out it says John Smith and that number, and so on. Apps like Hiya aren't actually querying the CNAM database or whatever, so they'd just show my company name or whatever is in the database, vs actually retrieving the caller ID name being sent from my phone system. I'm trying Truecaller right now it seems similar to Hiya, so I think that will be the only alternative, as at least it will detect more than it does now!

New Pixel 3 XL just received...am I missing something?

I received my P3XL recently and forgot about the call screening feature. However, when I get calls, I don't have the call screening button. I've updated the Phone app to v.24 already. I read there wasn't anything I needed to disable/enable. Can someone provide some clarification? I've gone through the whole phone and can't find anything related to call screening. Much thanks!
Where are you located? Think only works in US

I'm in the states. I'm in Atlanta. Using T-Mobile.
**Edit**
So I just downloaded the Assistant app and now within the settings of the phone app, call screen setting shows up.. I though it was suppose to work right of the box? Is it because I did a device transfer from my iPhone -> P3XL?
