K88 Dialer Issue - ZTE Trek 2 Questions & Answers

First off i would like to say good work and thanks to all involved in rooting this thing. Great Job!!!!
I believe i figured out why the k88 dialer doesnt function properly. I dumped my qcn file and was browsing with QCNView and found it is blocking the IMS from registering on the network. I believe this line is at fault.
/nv/item_files/ims/IMS_enable: size 1
00.
I am not a developer but i am fair with tinkering with things. To me this is saying IMS_enable with the 00 being the no answer. Im not very good with hex editor or i would have already flipped the bit. Just wanted to know if im on the right track or not. Thanks in advance for any help or comments. I would not recommend anybody but people that know what this is to experiment with it as you will screw up your IMEI number up.

Thanks for the advice. I sent him a message on the situation and hopefully we can get this thing fully unlocked for calling.

I sent him a private message on xda with more details i have along with a list of software i am using to come up with the info. Would be nice to have the qualcomm tools baked into lineage for further info as i dont have access to ftm without stock rom but no dialer there to trace failure point. The gsm vocoder DSP = 0xDEAD and gsm modem DSP = rom:ram 0xDEAD DEAD is telling me its disabled in the modem firmware. I am working on enabling gsm part at the moment. I will keep updating here and looking forward to hearing from the dev as well.

[Q] Strange issue - receiving phone calls

I have never seen this before, and I am hoping someone knows what to do.
After installing Hyperdrive 17.1 when i receive a phone call it will display +1(and the number) even if I have the person as a contact, then if i want to call back i have to remove the + sign before trying otherwise it simply won't do anything. I am not saying this is an issue with the rom (and I really doubt it) maybe something i am missing.. Any idea?
After doing some more research this seems to be related to the Global ready settings, but I can't find how to disable this.

I get a 1 before it too but no +1 and the call back function works fine ... Im on RLS17.1 also ... My phone is unlocked and I am using tmobile but I was using att just a few days ago and it wasn't a problem .. must be something you need to change in your network setting (Possibly)

That sucks ... I would put a post in the Hd thread with this issue .. sbreen is good about answering and fixing .. Im a safestrap user and there is really no other rom that I want to use ... Although they are all good HD has more functions without the need to install xposed framework .. Also the 4way multiwindow is the sh!t... Hats off to all the developers
Several of us with hyperdrive are seeing this. See recent posts in the hyperdrive att rom thread. I started a general q&a thread about it in hopes of finding solution, figuring it is a setting not just specific to that ROM. I hope a solution is found because I like that ROM.

[Q] ATT S4 adds + to calls, making them fail

Hi everyone,
I've got an ATT I337 running the awesome Hyperdrive ROM version 17.1. Several of us --but clearly not all of us!-- over in that thread have noticed a problem with incoming calls. I think there's a setting somewhere that can fix it, so I'm opening it to a wider audience by posting it here, in hopes someone from this group will know what to tweak.
Here's the specific problem.
If my cell phone receives a call from a known contact "Bob" and Bob's contact info (being a U.S. phone number) is 317-555-1212, so far the phone seems to recognize the call as coming from Bob. However, it reports it as coming from +317-555-1212. When I go into the call log and try to return the call, it dials +317-555-1212, and the extra + causes the system to interpret it as an international call attempt, and the call fails. Cannot be completed as dialed, the message says. If it's an non-contact number, the + is still added. IT's not JUST for contacts.
Let's say Bob leaves a message. The voicemail indicator shows and it says offers to dial *86, the correct access code for voice mail for ATT as I understand it. However, tapping that actually dialed +11 then my ten digit phone number. Call fails.
At the dialpad, pressing and holding 1 to invoke voicemail has the same problem.
In Contacts, contacts are NOT listed with +s, and clicking the call button for them makes them dial OK without a + being prepended.
So, this looks like some international feature is being enabled that I'm not sure how to turn off. Does anyone have any idea how to turn this off? Sorta puts a crimp in the basic phone functionality. Seriously, who actually calls anyone these days? But it would be good to fix.
Please, if anyone has an idea of what might be at the root of this, I would appreciate your help!
Marc
I am confused. Does this only happen on the Hyper rom or all roms for you.
Not sure how anyone else does their contacts. But, I always enter numbers as 1-555-555-5555 even if local.
My voicemail number is set as +15555555555
I never had issues--
I remember some talk of that on Hyper awhile back. But, never paid attention--
Only happens on Hyperdrive. Or at least, I can say I never saw it on stock. Hyper is the only ROM I've actually gotten so far as to run while SIM card is inserted. :good:
My contacts are almost all US based and are just ten digits, no leading 1. I did try editing the contact to my work cell phone by adding a 1 to it, and calling my S4 phone. It still was registered as +317-555-1212 format and return call didn't work.
So, it's not really about the way the contacts are stored, more about how the phone interprets incoming calls.
Try the 1+ and see what happens. Just do a few of your most used numbers to start--
Can you put a different dialer on phone and see

Just edited above, adding 1 to the way contacts are stored doesn't change the behavior. I can certainly try a different dialer and see what happens, but it seems to be based on how incoming calls are interpreted. I'm guessing there's a build.prop item or somesuch that needs a-tweaking.
Marc
so you changed the contact number to 1-555-555-5555 with hyphens
i ran hyper for quite a bit awhile back never any issues. of course could be something new--
i am not thinking rom or a lot more would have issue--
I did some tests.
On the phone in question, I edited the google contact for a test phone number. I then called the phone from that tested phone number.
It didn't matter whether the contact was saved in the formats:
317-555-1212
1-317-555-1212
+1-317-555-1212
+317-555-1212
In all cases, the incoming call was recognized as +317-555-1212, which isn't a valid call-back number, and return calls failed. Since this only happened when I put a custom ROM on, I'm sure it's something buried inside the ROM. However, I'm at a loss as to where to check various settings.
Gotta be something deep in there...
If all else fails you can Odin back to stock, reformat your internal card and reroot.
Under Phone Settings/Additional Settings/My Phone Number--is it in format 15555555555
Also, and I don't know where to check, your country code may not be set. I don't know if we even have that setting anymore or would it be in Build Prop.
Probably under ro.something

Interesting thought. I had gone into the dialer settings, and checked the Current Country... it listed United States of America. Then I stopped. But looking further it turns out that in the Assisted Dialing settings just below that, there might be stuff that matters. Currently my assisted dialing is OFF. The settings inside are:
Country code: 1
IDD prefix: 011
NDD prefix 1
City/area code: 131
National number length: 11
The area code probably doesn't matter, but I'm interested in the national number length. Ours tend to be 10. Could you please see what your settings are in there, and let me know if anything is different?
I can always backup (ug, safestrap backup), return to stock, poke around, re-root/restore. But if you could take a quick peek I'd be grateful.
Thank you!
Marc
I tried an alternative dialer... it acted just like the stock with the + thing.
I am on a rom that doesn't have those settings--sorry
Thanks anyway! I experimented changing the last setting to 10, and enabling assisted dialing, and it didn't change anything. Sigh.
Ok, you can still go back to stock with Odin. Or, try one of iB's roms they are very good too, I use them almost exclusively now--
Good Luck--:good:
Yeah. I've been back to stock a couple times with Odin. I've got the process down pat! I prefer the hyperdrive rom if I can work through the few small warts. It's just such an elegantly crafted piece of work. Worth the effort, if I eventually sort out the call issue. Appreciate your help.

If you haven't done so yet i suggest noting the issue in the hyper thread ... either the Verizon or att one depending on your phone. Seems to be a bunch of us... more folks report it the common thread will emerge.

Same issue here i can not dial voicemail and can not call a number back without typing the number in manually. Deal breaker for me hope it gets fixed soon so i can go back to Hyperdrive. Or somebody comes up with some sort of fix.

Yep all of these are in the PhoneErrService.apk on my G900P in the manifest. By any chance have you taken a look at personalization.apk? The name of the app is quite deceiving. It actually refers to "perso" as in "network perso"...as in network lock/unlock lol. There's some VERY interesting stuff in there. I wonder if the domestic GSM lock is a perso lock. I did see in the service menu where it had a lock reason, I think it just said NW. I don't remember seeing that before (being internationally unlocked).

No i didnt notice that but it makes sense. After sifting through hours of NV items, 14000 to be exact, i took a break and decided to look at some more manifest logs. I had an idea that if i compared the manifest from an factory unlocked version as well with its NV items, it would give me a better idea of which ones to tackle. Kinda like which one came first the chicken or the egg, so by comparing those 2, I can narrow it down.
NW in the perso is there by default if you have a US version. I had the same on my note 4 and on my note 3 as well.
SW Configuration xml is also 9f interest. You can see the configuration of virgin mobile boost verizon sprint and all other sprint Mnvo's. Just not tmobile or att
Progress so far.
I decompiled the perso.apk and found that the OEM secret dialer codes are present( I.E 7465625*77*), they are just LOCKED (i.e 0x0) and they are bypassed. The whole app looks at the sim status "req lock status" and if its locked then then it doesnt send the unlock data to the modem.
IF """" mIsLock == 0x1"""" then it throws a sim error *invalid sim* for the sim network lock.
So I'm going to attempt to rewite this code and inject the apk into the phone. IF it works, we will have sim unlock, if not then we will need to do it the long and hard way which will require injecting rils into the xml file. @ecs87

No I will try to take a look into it this weekend. There is a program called smali2java it is easier to read java only and then create a method using xposed framework that overrides or receives from the original method. Smali is like assambler it uses more low memory management and stuff. But as far as I know the list of domestic locked providers is stored in a db is best to see if it i sql or in nvram

So I was messing around with many a things today (like smali as you mentioned previously...it's a Damn mess) and decided to toy with the international unlock app. I was able to alter the code to re lock the phone...meaning I was able to alter what raw command to send over RIL. I was also looking at the logs after setting them more verbosely using 9900 (dialer code). It does log the RIL unlock/lock code in the log but it Also briefly explains part of it.
I have probably close to 100 pictures to share worth of logs and decompilations. I've just got to throw them all on my laptop. I've been a bit busy...and lazy.
Also has anyone noticed that the SIM error in the logs is a I/O error? I'm not too experienced on SIM errors but I thought it would've thrown some kind of xxxx lock error, like SP lock or NW lock? Sprint went quite far with this domestic lock. It doesn't make it easier that there isn't a process to chase after like there was for the UICC unlock.

It's possible IMS Settings could have that purpose, I've seen mention of it in regard to some T-Mobile devices however IMSLogger+ has no known function whatsoever, it's simply an app called logger that has access to everything you do and everything your id does in relation to your device. As far as I can tell there is absolutely no cost in disabling this application so until someone can identify a function that requires this to be enabled, it's simply common sense to do so.
Further, and I have no idea if it's relevant or not, but even it's naming convention is different from the other associated applications:
com.sec.ims 1.0
IMS Service 1.0
IMS Settings 1.0
com.sec.imslogger 1.20150211_LDM
I understand I'm offering an incomplete picture here, but our corporate 'benefactors' have a long history of being as shady as they possibly can be until they are caught and then they just try something else... Our data is a commodity resource to these people so they'll do what they can to acquire it.
In the end it's a question of trust. I don't, so I uninstalled it, but I wanted to pass on the information should anyone else want to do the same.

If your country or carrier doesn't have VoLTE then you won't have it enabled on your phone, that's why you can't find it.
EDIT:
You can check here if your carrier has it:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VoLTE#Deployment
So far it's only launched in Canada, Czech Republic, Germany, Hong Kong, Japan, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, and USA. But even in those countries, only a few carriers have it.
Good old NSA must have had something worked out with Samsung. I bought mine in Hung Coc* as well and it too came with this IMSlogger as well that has and asks for every permission you never even thought about. No uninstall option either.
Every permission possible has been ticked by developer.

Safe to disable
I've seen one post saying it's part of Kernal Management and a normal function of the phone however I've seen a hundred posts saying the package has been safely disabled or uninstalled without any discernible impact on device functionality. If anyone has an idea what this app does, I'd welcome any insight offered.
Edit: Maybe not a hundred, maybe closer to 10.

Silent Logging is not turned on by default that's why it's safe to disable.
From the looks of it, it logs diagnostic info from the cell modem. I think it's only ever used for diagnostic purposes though and is not ever turned on normally. You can enable in Service Mode or if you set system property dev.silentlog.on set to "on".
If you don't have any of the log files at:
Code:
/data/log/Slog_ril_xxxxx.log
/data/log/Slog_main_xxxxx.log (where xxxxx is the time the log got saved)
Or the config file at:
Code:
/data/slog/SilentLog
...then you don't have Silent Logging running.
As for IMSLogger, it doesn't look nefarious. It is for VoLTE though, so has anyone tried if VoLTE still work when you have IMSLogger disabled/deleted. Mind you, VoIP or Skype or any other IP/SIP over wifi or LTE is NOT VoLTE (VoLTE is specifically optimised for voice using IMS whereas none of the others are). So to test, make sure you are actually using VoLTE (and that you have it enabled in your carrier plan) and not some other VoIP solution.
It's LMS Logger
And it stands for LetMeSpy I found it on my phone as well
IMSLogger+ is used by Samsung engineers to get the processor logs and interfaces logs from the phone for debugging purposes. In Engineering firmwares it can export the IP traces in PCAP format and it has a nice interface to see all the VoLTE/SIP messages in real time. Basically it can log all the calls signalization, excluding the voice packets.
It's launched from the IMS Settings application that is used to customize VoLTE/VoWIFI/RCS parameters for each operator.
By default the IMSLogger+ doesn't log anything, Below you have a movie done from my rooted Samsung S6 Edge G925F that shows how to launch the application. I'm sure IMSLogger+ can be disabled without any impact to VoLTE. Maybe Samsung should have done it from the very beginning.

Samsung Smart Call being disabled by Carriers

SO SORRY FOR THE LONG POST!!
Hey guys, I've been a long time fan of this site, but have never posted anything. I've been using Samsung phones forever and when Smart Call was added, it was the best. For those who don't know, Smart Call is a Built In feature that integrates with the dialer/ caller Id to help mitigate Spam calls and fraud calls. Its ABSOLUTELY free and works. I have the US Cellular S10+ and this free feature on my $1k phone has been disabled to push their paid feature called Call Guardian on us as well as other carriers doing the same. I can open system files and see that the "program" is there, but like I said it's been disabled somehow through software. This site is home to some of the smartest people out there. Have any of you guys found a way to enable features that Carriers have disabled without flashing (I'd love to but I'm scared I'd brick it). Any ideas or advice would be awesome! Thank you

Other than flashing the U1 firmware that's about it. Since it's a system app that's disabled by your carrier's csc configuration that's your only option.
Thank you for the quick response. That was what I was afraid of. Im pretty tech savvy so I believe I could, it's just I've never attempted to flash a phone before. I've looked online for some how-to info on flashing. Do you have any that you would recommend being a newbie to it?

There is a decent set of instructions here, just ignore step 1 and the fact it's for a different model. Download the modified Odin and U1 branded firmware from this post. Other than that it's pretty much self explanatory. Use your original charging cable to connect your phone to the PC and if you get stuck ask for help in the thread I linked. That's your best bet.
EDIT: Smart Call has a bug too. It disables when you restart your phone sometimes so you will need to re-enable it in the settings menu.
Thank you so much for taking the time to help me!
It's not on the unlocked F either. I was very dissappointed.
I have unlocked s10 sd but I have to re-enable the spam caller ID toggle after every reboot for some reason.

So, I've made a post on the Sprint Community Forum concerning this Smart Call lockout. I'm doing a mix of looking like I tried to research the issue and also rather pointedly not sounding like someone who was installing ROM's on Windows Mobile devices over a decade ago in the hopes that someone at Sprint will promise something they probably shouldn't in print. Maybe they'll get the point that this anti-competitive crap isn't going to fly forever.
For whatever it's worth, the unlocked Canadian version we bought at Best Buy has that feature available and it has remained enabled since first setting up the phone. Couldn't tell you the csc, but a heads up in the event it happens to be helpful somehow.
