How to enable AT&T Wifi calling on Unlocked Note 10+ ? - Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Questions & Answers

I had note 8 previously, (also unlocked edition, bought from samsung). For that, I called AT&T and provided my IMEI to whitelist and enable wifi calling.
Last week, bought note10+ unlocked, called AT&T again to update the IMEI. However, i dont see any option to toggle/enable wifi calling on this unlocked firmware.
In Note 8, i used nova launcher -> widget -> settings shortcut to find wifi calling and toggle, but in note10+, i cant find the same !
If this has to be done by flashing firmware upgrade, can someone please point me the versions?
My model is : SM-N975U1
Current firmware : N975U1UEU2ASJC (Nov 1st security patched)

i used app called Activity Launcher its in google play and search for wifi then activate it from there

You will probably lose identify spam calling and I'm sure the software update toggle was gone when I used to go this route.

[Q] Disable touch to install ZVD update icon in notifcation bar

Hello,
I have had the ZVD update (not installed yet) notificaton on my phone for about a week now and I have no plans on updating my phone to ZVD at this time so I would like to know how to remove / disable the "System Update Downloaded Touch to install" notification from the notification bar so I do not accidentally touch it and install it by mistake.
While I am at it, I would like to disable all future updates at the same time so it would be nice to know which app controls the downloading of these updates and freeze it so I don't have to be bothered with these notifications in the future as well.
TIA,
MTCell

Hello, what I did was drop down the notification panel, and touch and hold the update notification, it took me to Google Services Framework, I unchecked "show notifications", and it removed the update from the notifications,[emoji4][emoji4] Try that.[emoji4][emoji106]

For me it takes me to Google Play Services. Is this the same thing as the Google Services Framework ?
Also, is there not an app that I can freeze that will stop the updates from downloading in the first place. I am happy with ZVC and I have no intentions of taking future updates unless they fix some large security hole in the system so if I can just disable / freeze an app to stop the updates from downloading in the first place I would prefer that.

Oh, I'm sorry, my mistake, not exactly the same, (correct me anyone who reads this thread) I think the Google Play Services is where you receive updates from the Google Playstore, where as the Google Services Framework, you receive updates for the Android Operating System.[emoji4] you can uncheck "show notifications" in Google Play Services.[emoji4], sorry about that.

Ok, now I am more confused. Why would system updates be handled by 2 different apps on the same phone. For yours, it's Google Services Framework and for mine it's Google Play Services?
Also, as you said Google Play Services seems to be apart of the app store so if I disable that, would that not also stop other notifications (that I want to receive) from being shown. Again, I am more confused now than I was when I first asked this question.
Basically, all I really want to do is delete the currently downloaded (but not yet installed) update from my phone and then freeze the app that is responsible for downloading / checking for updates in the first place so I am never bothered by this problem again. Surely this is possible right ?

I have seen threads like these on the fourms before I made this post and they were not for the Sprint LG G2 so I dismissed them as I do not want to mess anything up. Again, I would like to ask about freezing the app responsible for the updates and freeze it. I have also included a small video that shows that the system update take me to Google Play Services and not Google Services Framework like it does on your phone. Why would that happen?

The process responsible for the ota update is the Google Play Services, I apologize for the confusion, it was the Google Play Services, not the Framework Services, but you can't dismiss them, you can however disable the Google Play Services and uncheck the "show notifications" from the update trying to proceed to install itself.[emoji4]

Thanks again for the replies, but as I said if I disable the Google Play Services Notifications I would also lose the ability to get ANY notifications from the Play Store even for apps that I want to be notified about. So you are saying this is the only way to stop the notification and what about freezing future updates from downloading, this not possible either ?
Again, I appreciate the reply, but it seems like I am either stuck with the notification forever if I want to have any notifications from the play store at all or disable it and lose all notifications from the play store for all apps and there is no way to disable to the downloading of future apps on this phone.

Yeah, that's the tradeoff in not receiving updates about products from the Play store when you disable notifications in the Google Play Services, this isn't the only way, there are other ways, but it requires root access of your device, I've read a thread somewhere concerning disabling OTA Updates, I'll find that thread for you as soon as I can.[emoji4]

Open the dialer on your G2, put in this code 3845#*980#, a hidden menu should pop up, scroll WLAN Test, select the OTA Option, next you change the value to off, and you're done[emoji4]

I have root access, I apologize for not mentioning it in the OP and dialing that code on my phone just places a call to #3845 so that's a no go either. I used the code 5689#*980# which did show the hidden menu, but there was no WLAN Test option. I think we have 2 different phones or atleast 2 different carriers. Maybe it's the fact that you have a custom rom on your phone, but alot of the things you refer to are different on the stock rooted version of the Sprint LG G2 running ZVC.

Yes, it's true that I do have a custom ROM on top of the Sprint LG G2 ROM(you saw my signature LOL), I'm still on ZVC because I ignored the ZVD Update notification and installed CyanogenMod 11 M9 Snapshot on my device and it didn't bother me again, now when I go to updates, it doesn't show up anymore.[emoji4][emoji106]

[Q] Native Hotspot on Note 4

Does anyone know of a way to get the native hotspot working on the Note 4 by adding DUN to the LTE APN's like on the Note 3?
The APN's aren't able to be edited on my Note 4, like I was able to on my Note 3.
Don't want to root my Note 4 yet, but need to get Hotspot back.
Note 3 Link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2796994&nocache=1
You could pay for the service that would make it work.
Sprint apns already have dun added use galaxytools from the themes and apps section
Sent from my SM-N910P using XDA Free mobile app
I remember before the phone was released, someone claimed to have it working. It was in some thread, I think, I the original development t area.
Another option, you could use WiFi Tether Router. I know it's expensive at around $3.50, actually a little less, but the developer does keep active in keeping it updated and does bug fixes. It's a little slower loading up than native hotspot, but I haven't had issues with the Note 2 once I figured out the settings it needed.
Galaxy tools worked perfect for me
I installed it twice cause it wasnt sticking at reboots on first install of native hotspot.
Now it works fine every time i reboot the only thing is everytime i turn it on i have to go to configure hotspot and advanced settings and put maximum connections to 8 cause it goes back to 1

Don't you have to be rooted to use the tools and WiFi teacher router? OP said he isn't rooted, yet.

Thanks a lot. Workeds perfectly.
We got the Native Hotspot hack working for the Sprint note 3 w/ root. It's a simple smali edit. Bet it would work with the note 4 as well. It was the same from note 2- Note 3

Sneaky Samsung store update

Anyone see an update from the Samsung App store auto install called SE Android Policy Update? It installed on mine per the notification but can't find anything about it in the store. Thx
posted via my Obsidian VZW Note 4
Always go into playstore and uncheck the auto update feature. I always want to see what is being updated and only way to do that.
Sounds like an update to the SELinux policies on the phone.
SELinux runs of a set of policies that enforce security on the phone. You more than likely won't find any information about this in the stores.
I'm curious to know if that was to patch the hole causing your phone to be hacked through Samsung's "Find my Phone" Feature.

Bloatware

Hello
I recently received my note 7, which I purchased directly from Samsung which means it should not come with any carrier bloatware. I inserted my Canadian Rogers SIM card before turning on my phone and going though the initial set up only to finish and find a bunch of Rogers bloatware like 'MyRogers' and 'AppZone'. I have tried to uninstall these apps but I am only given the option to disable them. I even did a factory reset and made sure there was no SIM card during the whole process, but after completing it, those same bloatware apps were there. Is this normal? Is there a way I can uninstall these apps? One of the reasons I purchased directly from Samsung is so I wouldn't get all those carrier bloatware apps, but for some reason they are in my phone. Any comments and/or help is appreciated.

Just disable them and move on. If Disable is greyed out, use Package Disabler Pro. Also, apps are pre built into the system as system apps, so unless you find an untouched original firmware and flash it through odin, it will always have bloatware. I've disabled 137 samsung apps/services and my phones running like a beaut lol.

So all those websites saying that buying from the manufacturer is better because you won't have all that carrier bloatware are wrong? I read somewhere that they say that when you put a sim card in, it will automatically download all that bloatware, but I just realised my old Nexus did not have this problem which makes things even more confusing.

Although I did disable a few regular samsung apps like internet, calculator, clock, my files, and i think a few others. Just scroll through the list anf checkmark what you want disabled, and leave the things you want enabled unchecked.

So all those websites saying that buying from the manufacturer is better because you won't have all that carrier bloatware are wrong? I read somewhere that they say that when you put a sim card in, it will automatically download all that bloatware, but I just realised my old Nexus did not have this problem which makes things even more confusing.

Honestly I dont know, I havent bought a phone from a carrier in 5 years. I just go straight to the source. Just use PDP
Once you activate it with a carrier they load their programs onto the phone during activation. Sprint does the same and you can uninstall most of it except for a few.

This is the correct answer, in order to prevent this from happening - go through the activation process without a SIM inserted.

Hello
I recently received my note 7, which I purchased directly from Samsung which means it should not come with any carrier bloatware. I inserted my Canadian Rogers SIM card before turning on my phone and going though the initial set up only to finish and find a bunch of Rogers bloatware like 'MyRogers' and 'AppZone'. I have tried to uninstall these apps but I am only given the option to disable them. I even did a factory reset and made sure there was no SIM card during the whole process, but after completing it, those same bloatware apps were there. Is this normal? Is there a way I can uninstall these apps? One of the reasons I purchased directly from Samsung is so I wouldn't get all those carrier bloatware apps, but for some reason they are in my phone. Any comments and/or help is appreciated.

My understanding is that all of the Note 7 versions shipped to carriers install the boatware automatically in the initial setup based upon the first sim that is installed.
So if you took a clean Verizon Note 7 to tmobile it would setup tmobile bloatware instead.
I haven't been able to find out if it is cleared upon reset. I don't know if/when it will be possible to have a bloatware free version here without going with a carrier that just doesn't offer a full version Note 7. It is an awesome phone one way or another!

Unless you found the unlocked, non-carrier branded Note 7 on Samsung's site that they have yet to release then you got carrier bloat. It's not enough to order FROM the manufacturer but it has to say unlocked as the S7 they released is .. there are S7's marked for carriers which will have Samsung bloat and carrier bloat whether it ships on the phone or is downloaded during setup.
Again, you have to have purchased the unlocked, non-carrier branded version. This has not been released yet. Now .. once it has the ROM from that version will make it's way out and you can flash it. Then you'll have what you thought you purchased. :good:

Sorry, that's incorrect. The carrier branded devices have the carrier specific 'bloatware' baked into the signed firmware package. For example, I set up my T-Mobile branded note 7 before I put my SIM in. The tmo bloat was already there.

Someone please list a complete list of Bloatware that is safe to remove from carriers thanks
Here is the list of apps I have disabled with Package Disabler Pro on my Verizon Note 7. I am sure there are other apps that could be disabled if one wanted, but these are the ones that I felt I didn't need/want and have had zero issues since disabling. This has seemed to free up more RAM, and I also think is helping with battery life a bit. Here is the list:
ANT + DUT
ANT radio service
ANT + HAL service
ANT Plugins service
Apps edge
Briefing - flipboard
Briefing feed
Calendar
Caller name ID
CNN for edge panel
DT Ignite
Edge screen
Email com.samsung.android
Facebook app manager
Gmail - google
Google play movies & TV
Google play music

Need help concerning rooting the phone

So i just ordered my new Samsung s20 and i was wondering if the warranty expires if you root the phone, because of the e-switch. I live in Sweden so i have the global version and i have also rooted before on phones like nexus 5.

you need to look up the policies for your country as it varies.. sometimes even by carrier

It seems like my mobile carrier and Samsung doesn't allow rooting, however i do have something called reklamationstjänsten which gives me a possibility to return the product in two months if it doesn't work properly. So the only question i have is that should i root my new Samsung s20 now or should i wait?

I'm opting to wait , i realise I want to root as :
- phone has 400apps (? im old school & don't use bixby or Samsung pay , or 85% of the bloatware) & want to remove many , however it appears that Samsung have allowed the removal of many (apart from Facebook / nsa ?)
- i really appreciate viper4android (I'm a musician & music lover / audiophile) but I use PowerAmp (best music app period with transferable purchase - don't use the G-Play variant) & the options are plentiful & works well with DolbyAtmosphere
- Titanium Backup & TWRP (not avaliable yet) are useful for obvious reasons.
- I also cannot stand adverts (i recognise developers need financial support & reward) for apps like PayPal (they make money through my usage why should I see the irritating adds) & use an app that I cannot mention as its banned on here because of what you can do with it , however my phone is NOT rooted so I cannot entertain such actions , however I can manipulate the file to remove adds from certain apps.
Encompassing this , the rooting procedure is longwinded when firmware updates are released , you essentially have to reflash the firmware & go through the process of setting up the phone again , Titanium backup can only do so much , its the OS settings that need to redone. CANNOT BE BOTHERED.
The phone is new & many updates will be released.
All food for thought

Kernel Adiutor is also very useful too
