Caller ID and spam protection setting - Samsung Galaxy S10+ Questions & Answers

Is anyone else noticing the caller ID and spam protection setting turning itself off?
it's very annoying anyone solved the problem?
just tried clearing the data for the hiya system app will update if this seems to clear the problem

Just noticed it after seeing your thread, mine was turned off as well. I remember turning it on couple of days ago. Perhaps it might be controlled by the carrier end ?

Yes, noticed it a while back and I have the same speculation that it's being turned off by carrier settings even though I bought the unbranded unlocked model. I'm on T-Mobile.

Same issue here as well. It was the same way on my s8 plus with the pie beta. Both are unlocked devices running on cricket. I've noticed it everytime after a restart. I think that's where the bug is at unfortunately.

Same

Lol just checked mine after reading this, and mine is off too. Mines bought direct from Vodafone UK . Wow I know I switched it on its one of the first things I set up.

I've noticed mine off, but additionally I haven't noticed it doing anything when I get a call. On the unlocked S9, it would provide basic caller info and possible spam warnings. Now I get nothing if the number is not in my contact list. I'm running a factory unlocked s10+ on Sprint. No Hiya installed.

Yup can confirm mine shut off itself after I turned it on during initial setup, unlocked galaxy s10+ on Verizon

Something I have noticed is that after turning it back on and receiving some calls from unknown callers it has remained turned on, usually the setting just turns back off a few times a day.

Is there anyway to enable this on tmobile branded s10+?
Or only on the U1 unlocked firmware?

I think T-Mobile disables this feature on their variant. You can get it by flashing the U1 firmware tho.

Nope, still happening to me on my unlocked...

I can confirm the March update fixed the problem for me. Exynos UK Vodafone.

And our unlocked Snapdragons are still the red headed stepchildren with no update.

The pop-up came some days ago but I didn't turn it on because of :
- if the call isn't from one of ùy contacts, it is masked or unknown, and I know what to do about the former.. not answering.
- As it is obviously a samsuing service, I don't see the point of putting myself more in the hands of a conglomerate than I'm already and I don't see how reliable might be the said service, considering that the official callers black list is a mess here in france (I let you decide for you guys in your respective countries).
My point is : are we SO busy, SO amateur, SO lazy and SO mobile enslaved to jump on every notification from our devices ?

can someone point out where this setting is? I searched for call, caller, and spam in settings to no avail.

Open the Phone App, tap on the 3 dots on the search bar and then open settings. If it isn't there then its disabled by your carrier if you have a carrier branded phone.

give the man a cigar, verizon calls it caller name ID, but the real head trip is that their customer service people typically don't know it exists until you explain it functions like the old landline automatic caller ID, it costs $2.99/mo, but i've had it literally ever since i bought the moto z and it still mostly worked on the s10+ to this day, i love having it too, people call at random i answer "hi steve, don't spam me again you prick" and hang up, dude calls back later freaked out i knew his name already, worth the $2.99 easy for the giggles.

Well, everyone is different. In my case I also prefer not to pick up when a number is blocked or the nr is not in my contact list. However, I regularly get calls from Dr's, hospitals or other people related to the care of my parents, so I like the opportunity to be able to distinguish one of those calls with that of a recruiter or some company that wants to sell me something.

Haha yeah it isn't a big deal at all, its the least of my problems with this phone right now haha, trying to get root with permission denied staring you in the face is hard to do hahaha
it happened to me also...a reboot fixed it...it was weird though...it happened after i installed the new market and after reboot the # showed up but the market reverted to the old one...idk if it's connected or it was just a coincidence...
Some of the apps need to read the number from the phone for them to work properly
So this will cause an issue for sure
I have tried rebooting and it doesnt seem to fix the problem at all
It has something to do with the sim card. You can call T-Mobile and have them resend it to the sim. If that don't work just get a new sim.
Sent from my Nexus S
Mine shows unknown number too. What are the odds of us all have an issue with the sim card? Could it just be a gingerbread or nexus s bug?
May (or may not) be the same issue....
If your phone number isn't recorded on your SIM card then android won't display a number (Stating the obvious I know....)
Just grab an old(er) phone (Sony Ericsson seem to work ok for this) and add in your number to the SIM. I think the menu option is something like "My Number".
If you search the Nexus One forums, there should be some non-crap instructions....

Wasn't the Galaxy S7/S7 Edge supposed to come with Caller ID powered by Whitepages?

Near the end of February, a lot of websites were reporting that the Galaxy S7 and S7 Edge were going to come with Caller ID powered by Whitepages that would automatically look up incoming phone numbers, compare them with a scam database, and allow us to block them or report them.
I have a Galaxy S7 Edge on AT&T in the US and I don't seem to have this. There was an app called "Caller Name ID" that came with the phone, but its not free and not by Whitepages.
Pretty sure all the carriers removed it so you can pay for their own service.

Possible, but on the Whitepages website, they say:
"Whitepages is bringing its leading caller ID and spam detection service to the Galaxy S7. Coming to Galaxy S7 users in 16 countries is a seamless experience, built right into the phone (no app required!) that helps identify unknown callers and protect users-like-you against the growing nuisance of phone spam and scams."
http://about.whitepages.com/in-the-...-and-spam-detection-service-to-the-galaxy-s7/
I would assume the US would have been one of those 16 countries.

I'd assume we aren't. The cell providers here are as greedy as they come, and they all offer their own caller ID service that you can pay for so they would never give it for free.

No need to download anything guys. If you can't see it on your phone, simply do a simple search in your contacts and it'll appear and you just enable it. For example, look up a pizza place near you and you'll get the search results.

Exactly, if it's not appearing on your phone as an option to turn it on, then you do what I mentioned above, and once you do that, you'll have the Whitepages Caller ID & Block (that's what I've read, as I don't currently have the phone yet lol).

Thanks for the quick response (xda won't let me press the thank you button for some reason)
P.S I am on Vodafone with the phone brought directly from Vodafone.
Looks like for some reason Vodafone have decided to disable it on their firmware, got confirmation from a mate and others on the interweb that they also have the places option on the dialer.
I think it's network dependant. I have an un-branded UK phone and places doesn't show up. The option to see caller ID is there but greyed out.
Maybe it is to do with network. FWIW I'm on Three.
I have the places tab available, my S8+ is from the O2 Store with O2 firmware.

Wifi Calling on At&t Google Pixel 2 XL

Opened the Settings app earlier and there was a suggestion at the top to turn on Wifi calling. I'm on At&t and November update.
How did you get this to work? I've been trying to days to enable this option. I pushed "adb shell settings put global wfc_ims_enabled1" but to no avail has it worked.
I am on AT&T and have tried this with both a Google Pixel XL 2 from Google and Verizon. If you could give me any details of what your setup is like so I can try to enable this I'd dearly appreciate it!

+1 how? Very curious.
a screenshot showing the actual call going over wifi is needed.
unless ATT changed their mind in the last week, WiFi calling isnt available for the Pixel 2/XL, even if the option is enabled, the account has to be provisioned, and the phone needs the proper IMS profile, ATT to this date has refused to allow it.
This is the first I've seen the option even appear. Will test some calls and report back.

Looks like it isn't up and rolling yet, but the fact that the option appears has me hopeful. At&t still doesn't say that it supports VoLTE on P2XL, but we have that working, so perhaps Wi-Fi calling is coming soon.

Here's hoping. My apartment is on the bottom floor so reception is very spotty. What has been weird though is that if I start a call when I have reception and move to a spot in my apartment where there is no cell service, the call persists. So part of me thinks me enabling Wifi Calling from ADB may have done something?

So you're saying that after the ADB command was set, and you're in an area that legitimately has 0 cell service (not just very low/nearly unusable)? Screenshot of this, please?

Because idiots around the US have no idea what they're talking about then they say "VoLTE on AT&T only works with AT&T-branded Android phones or iPhones". As long as a manufacturer certifies their device with AT&T, and configure their devices with the proper IMS profile for AT&T's network, VoLTE will work. Google (HTC/LG) certified the Pixel 2 / 2 XL with AT&T for VoLTE and RCS, both of which work if all criteria are met (proper SIM card, IMEI updated in billing system, options turned on), and right now, 8.1 DP1/DP2 are needed to use VoLTE on AT&T's network, as the modem/IMS configuration was updated on the phone to support it.

VoLTE is enabled in Android 8.1 for AT&T. I just flashed the final factory image and it does indeed work. You do have to verify that your sim card is properly provisioned for VoLTE. As for the WiFi calling portion of this conversation, I still cannot access the "Wi-Fi calling" setting within "Mobile network settings."

Check to make sure your sim card supports it. If it does you'll wanna call att and have a technician make sure your account is provisioned properly. Also you'll need to make sure they have the IMEI of your phone.

UGH Again..No incoming text with OP8Pro on Verizon

I ordered ASAP via pre order and wanted to get the PHONE ASAP. Just got off the phone with Verizon Tier 1 and 2. Yes I know about the CDMA Less feature being added but since they did away with 3g thats no longer an option. My IMEI or this OP8 pro isn't on their approved list yet and it wont let them do anything else. I also tried to do this on my own verizon account and as soon as I put the IMEI# in it shows as not an eligible device. I am going to try and be patient as the phone so far ( NOT testing the camera yet) is buttery smooth. Anything else anybody can comment?

Did you see my 2nd post ? I tweeted one plus and Verizon contacted me and I was working with them on Twitter DM and the tech did this : refreshed the SMS over lte features and also mms over lte features they said.
yes i did exactly what dailycruz suggested. they refreshed my sms over LTE a bunch of times. I spent many hours today on the phone with Verizon last person I spoke to was from engineering and he told me that he could not enable cdma-less on my phone since it would not allow them to add a oneplus 8 Pro iemei into the system to activate. his suggestion was to activate a OnePlus 7 Pro (which i don't have) which is approved allowing them to enable CDMA-less option. then switch to OnePlus 8pro. I am super angry at this point.

Do you know by chance if Verizon enabled CDMA-Less on your OnePlus 8 Pro ?
Wow, this is a deal breaker for me. My work phone they can't enable CDMA-LESS on that line, they claim it's something about the type of business contract. So I'm having to carry my OP7P for my own, and another P3XL for work. When I saw that the OP8P supports Verizon's CDMA bands, I was like FINALLY I can carry one phone!!! (Once they activate the dual sim in the USA).
Do we know why this is NOT the case when we are being told otherwise? Anyone have any thoughts?
Surprisingly my OP8P worked just from sim swap. I am on a Verizon business account, account auto added

Do you know by chance if Verizon enabled CDMA-Less on your OnePlus 8 Pro ?

So I have an update finally. My buddy in Orlando sent me his OnePlus 7 Pro to When I put my Verizon sim card in, i had same exact issue as my new OnePlus 8Pro, no SMS messages. I called back the engineer at Verizon who suggested I try this to begin with, and he was able to enable CDMA-Less feature this time with the OnePlus 7 Pro and my sim, since its MEID showed up in Verizon's system properly. As soon as he enabled CDMA-Less i was able to receive SMS messages on the OnePlus 7 PRO. I then immediately pulled the sim from 7 Pro and put it back into my One Plus 8 PRO and surprise surprise SMS/MMS messages started coming down!! I have no clue why they cant enable it on the new OnePlus 8 PRO and my phone still does not show up properly on My Verizon Device page ( the One Plus 7 Pro showed up perfectly).
This is a crazy work around and neither OnePlus nor Verizon was really much help on getting this to work. Maybe a new Sim would of done the trick but without being able to go to a Verizon store at the moment, it was just another shot in the dark.
