Verizon 3XL - Call Filter apk? - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

Any one with a Verizon variant of the 3XL able to pull and post the most recent APK for the Call Filter app?
I have Verizon service but I am unable to download it from Google play. Interested to see if it will work on the Playstore phone.
9.4.0 2019-02-15 [email protected]_4_0-r8372 is the most recent release per the playstore dated 3/26/19
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vzw.ecid&hl=en_US

here is a link // was older version 9.3.1 sorry it says not compatible for me with pixel 3xl in the market link you posted. and i have older version installed. i am on Q might be the reason

I am curious to see if the latest version will work on my Pixel 3 XL.
I wonder why the play store says that it is incompatible with our device.

I'm assuming something in the build.prop is different between the Verizon variants or the google variants. If not, it might be that Google only let's you update if the app is a vendor installed app.

APK
This was extracted from a VZW LG G5 and should be up to date. Seems to work fine on my Essential PH-1 so far. Happy blocking...

I installed the Apk listed above.
Why is the app asking if I want to subscribe for $3 per month? I thought it was now free.

Go to Account in the hamburger menu, then Subscription status, then Other Options (if I remember right, it doesn't show for me now) and you can find the free option.
They really tried to hide it.
Edit: Dang, it finished activating and now says "Free Trial"!
I'll have to call them probably

Ok: Phone support says the free option will become available after the 10 day trial, which will not automatically start charging. I'll find out in a week and a half if either thing is the case I guess.

I would double check that. I just set my account up and it said nothing of a free trial, and in my app it says I have "spam protection free" and I can subscribe for additional features at $2.99/month.

Installed and activated just fine on my Pixel 3 Xl.
To get free version go to hamburger menu - account - subscription options - there's a free protection option in there. It then "phones home" and in about a minute it said "Free Protection Activated"

The new dialer.apk had this built in

In order to enable the free call filtering, you have to login to your VZW account, go to plan, then apps and addons. There down the list you'll find the call filter with the free option. Then you just have to enable it on your line.
Strangely enough, it says my S8 isn't supported, and I downloaded the apk and it installed no problem, but there's no option in there for the free call filtering. But, it says when you enable it that it may take time to show up on your account.
They have an FAQ about it on their website, which I can't link to because I don't have enough posts. But just google "Call Filter FAQs" and it should show up.

Can anyone post the latest version?
As per the Play Store, the latest version is: 9.4.0 2019-02-15

I just wanted to bump this up in hopes someone can post the new APK. I have no idea why Verizon is restricting from older phones, as it works perfectly. But for now, installing the APK directly works fine.

I dont know what version I installed a while back, but the current version on my phone is 9.4.0 2019-02-26, which I am pretty sure I got thru an update.
Since I am not rooted atm, I cannot provide the latest apk....

Hate to bring it up again, but anyone have the latest, looks like on play its version 9.7.2 2019-07-18

Awesome, thanks! Was checking on some other APK repositories and couldn't find any with an actual download. With the HTC U11 I've got I don't think the default caller app has the ability to use the Google Spam filters, might check into getting a different phone app, or just upgrade soon

I don't see anything about a Google Spam filter on that website, but I do see newer versions of the Verizon Spam Filter (which I'm glad to have). Am I missing something?
Also, I tried installing the latest version of the Verizon Call Filter and it just keeps saying "app not installed". I have enabled install from unknown sources, but I noticed you can't uninstall the app from your phone once you have it on there.

i installed the apk. . and i actived with verizon. how do know its working? plus a spam call came thro

I'm hoping someone could help me out here...
I've looked through the Build.prop, and have dug through the system / vendor partitions trying to find the answer to this:
What are the differences between the VERIZON model and the unlocked one in terms of how the play store sees the device?
I have the unlocked version, and use it on Verizon, and it is frustrating to not be able to find and install many VERIZON specific apps, especially when considering the fact that I pay for the add-on services.
I have also downloaded the VERIZON version on the google factory images page, but even after flashing this version there is no Verizon boot screen (not for sure there is one tbh), and no call filter, or name ID apps are available through the play store!

Roam Control is off the Market, but now has a dedicated website

Update 3:
UPDATE from the developer (MrGreg -- post link):
The developer, MrGreg, has created a dedicated website for the distribution of Roam Control. The application will remain off the Google Market for now.
Relevant blog posts from the new website: http://www.roamctrl.com/
Jan-03-2011:
Roam Control 2.1.0 is now available. It contains the same functionality as versions 2.0.0 (which were previously available in the market), but it was updated to be compatible with the new servers. Please see the download page for links.
Jan-01-2011:
Roam Control for Android is now available through this website! We appreciate your patience while we transitioned from the Android Market to our own site. The website is still under construction, but we will be adding more information in the coming weeks.
Many things have been implemented from the ground up (PayPal integration, licensing server, etc), so please let us know if you encounter any issues or have any suggestions. Thanks!!

Update 2:
It once again appears that the application was pulled off the Market by Google.
UPDATE from the developer (MrGreg -- post link):
NOTE (12/21/2011): I'm sorry to report that Roam Control has pulled from the market yet again. It's the same story as before...I received an automated email from Google that did not provide any specifics on why the app was pulled. I have tried to appeal the decision numerous times, but I have yet to receive any type of acknowledgement or response from the Android market team.
As a temporary solution for customers who have already purchased the app, the app can be downloaded here:
- For users who purchased the original app (version 1.7.0 or earlier), please use the version available here: LINK
- For users who purchased the new app (version 2.0.0.g2), please use the version available here: LINK
I'm obviously not going to put the app back on the market unless I get the go-ahead from Google. As an alternative, I will likely either make the app available through the Amazon Appstore or directly through this website. Please stay tuned for details.

Update 1:
UPDATE from the developer (MrGreg -- post link):
NOTE (12/05/2011): Roam Control has been re-published in the market!! I appreciate your patience while I worked to resolve the situation. I still have not received a response from Google indicating why the app was pulled from the market, so be aware that it's possible they may pull the new versions as well.
For users who already purchased the previous app, please use the version available here: LINK
For new users who have not yet purchased Roam Control, please use the version available here: LINK

Original post:
Just a FYI: Roam Control Website
Copied directly from the website linked above: said:
NOTE (11/29/2011): I received an email today from Google indicating that Roam Control was removed/suspended from the market. I did not receive any explanation, other than it was "due to a violation of the Developer Content Policy." I'm working on getting the app restored, however I've come to understand that Google is incredibly unresponsive in these situations. If I cannot reinstate the app, I will certainly make it available in some other fashion. To those who have already purchased the app, I certainly do not expect anyone to pay for it a second time. As a temporary measure, the latest version of the app can be downloaded here.

It looks as if the developer has made the application available at no cost as of right now.
It checks for license, so if you haven't purchased it already it won't work

Appreciate the heads up - for me, RoamControl is an essential app. Hopefully dev will patch it up with Google...
damn another app bites the dust. i feel bad for the dev he must have been making good money off this and now it will be twice as hard. hopefully google will resolve this

I actually do want to give it away for free, I'm just using it to help support my family for now, I hope y'all can appreciate that.
The version that's linked on my website is the version that was pulled from the market, so it does still have the license check. I'm debating what to do at the moment...I wish Google would respond to my emails so I could make my decision. I appreciate your patience...

i'm not sure if i quite understand what this app does versus me manually changing my roaming settings. Can someone explain for me? thanks !

[Q] Samsung Pay Beta Testing

Now that Samsung Pay is out there beta testing. Anyway we can get a hold of the APK?
It's already in the latest leak I believe
That's just a base layer for the framework. It will be here soon enough though
Will be released around August with Note 5 and S6edge plus intro.

Last statement was for a September release. Do you have a source or are you just assuming Samsung Pay will be released with Note 5?
S6 Edge
I've found the link to be able to download the Samsung Pay Beta .apk file but I haven't figured out how to get it to install. Does someone else want to try? I'm stuck on a Samsung S6 Edge running 5.0.2. I wonder if you have to have 5.1.1 to run it.
Korea Link - https://kr.mpay.samsung.com/apk
US Link - https://us.mpay.samsung.com/apk
I'm going to try and get into the beta
The link looks dead. Can you post the apk?
Strike that. I got the KR to download but it doesn't do anything.
Here's a download link for the Samsung Pay .apk file I found on the Korean link. It lets me install it on my Samsung S6 Edge+ running android 5.1.1.
https://mega.nz/#!cRFkUAhT!8h7kOQ8opFy3YWal7xgw68EByv6dOsgepURGy9C005E
Some people have reported being able to get to the start screen and some graphics. I can't even get it to open.
Do a full unroot in superuser and this is wet you get.
Knox not ticked but custom bootloader installed.
So now the question becomes...can someone develop a workaround to Samsung Pay that will allow it to work with a rooted/tripped knox device. I am sure there is someone on this forum that has that ability.

We might need to find another app that has been modified and ask the dev there if they would be willing to work on this one. Who did the google wallet work arounds back in the day?
It'd probably be good to start a bounty too.

How do you start a bounty? As you can see I am new to the forum. Not sure about the GW app. But I like the idea!
I was able to install the apk using the Korean link and got to the main screen. I guess your Samsung account has to be activated by Samsung in order to go past it (see screenshot....maybe they will remove this restriction after the actual go-live in Sep). I noticed that Samsung Pay is not showing under 'Tap and Pay'. Not sure if it's just me or everyone here?
I signed up for the beta while the US link was up but I never got a response back from Samsung. I have attached a screenshot of the beta confirmation page. I removed the email address due to Samsung's 'strict' policies that I had to agree to before getting to the final page. Since I have not heard back from them I am now a little concerned if they are going to put any restriction on my Samsung account because I was not 'invited' for the beta but found the link and signed up for it.
I have been following Samsung Pay from the time it was announced. If it proves to be what it is, it clearly can be a game changer and the first platform to have a significant impact on mobile payments. Pretty exciting.
I read somewhere that US Beta begins 8/25, so the US URL might be activated again soon!

I called today and they told me to download the Samsung Plus app from the Google playstore. I downloaded it agreed to the terms and logged in and then inside the app there was a link that said "Join Samsung Pay Beta". So far it doesn't do anything, but it seems promising that it might work tomorrow after the beta has officially begun.

I signed up for the beta but never got a response from them. I was not able to see 'join Samsung Pay Beta' link under Samsung+ as you mentioned. Maybe it detects the model number and shows up only for S6 Edge+ and Note 5. I am not sure if you already have Samsung Pay installed on your phone, if not, can you try installing it using the Korean link and see if it works for you?
I had it already installed from the Korean link. However, it still doesn't let me login. I'm stuck on the start screen.
So I just talked with a Samsung Pay Rep. She advised me that the only Carrier in the US right now that has rolled out the update to support Samsung Pay is Sprint. T-Mobile is slated to release their update before the 1st of Sept. But until this update hits our phones the Samsung Pay will not run or function because the hardware in the device is not activated. So it doesn't matter what version of the app you download or where you go to sign up for the beta, we have to wait for T-Mobile to push the update.
She also advised me that if you have the Samsung+ app, and the update the T-Mobile will be pushing out, you can enroll in Samsung pay Beta and being using it right away.
Hope this helps answer some questions for you guy!

Wear 2.0 official from today

News embargo's were lifted about 15 minutes ago, and confirming the devices that will get Wear 2.0 (obviously Huawei is on the list). There's loads of news articles about the new watches and Wear 2.0 itself.
No word on when the OTA will start yet, but if you happen to get a notification then capture the url and share with us!
HOW TO OBTAIN A OTA URL BY /u/konrad-iturbe: Please note that you will need to enable developer options on the watch before you can do this. You can do this by tapping the build number 7 times. If you suddenly get a notification that the update has been downloaded and is ready to install (like what happened to me at 12am) go grab your phone, go to the Android wear app and tap the 3 dot menu and select Report Wearable Bug. Now, it will take a lot of time, it retrieves like the last hour or so, and then you will get a notification on the phone saying the report was received, then send it to you with an email client, it will send a .txt file, download it. Open the file with an editor on your phone and search for .zip, or use my method which is using cat bugreport.zip | grep ".zip" in your favorite terminal app which was much faster! Then just message OP with the URL.
Point is, if you get the notification you still have a chance to get the URL.
Will do. No update available on mine yet. I'm on DP5, don't know if that will effect when I will have it available.
No update for mine. I don't even have the update notification. Waiting!
Watching (heh) like a hawk. Will try to capture OTA URL if I happen to snag it. Were you on developer preview when you got the notification?
So you got the OTA already? You seem to be the only one that got it, I haven't seen anyone else post anywhere.

updated watchmaker, exited, went back to play store to check progress and android wear was there showing an update. updated, was on dp4.. now shows aw 2.0.0.146809763. definitely changed version.. no changes except version number but didnt expect many
I was hopeful Android Wear 2.0 would be available as an OTA update today. From what I've read thus far, it appears as though today's announcement was to indicate AW 2.0 was officially released and more importantly, to allow LG to FINALLY start selling their new line of AW 2.0 powered smartwatches. It looks like OTA updates for existing watches, however, won't begin until the 15th. I sure hope I'm wrong though....
Quick question, will the latest Developer Preview build get the update to official Android Wear 2.0, or do I have to flash back to the stock 1.5 version? I have been looking around and can't find any info on it.

Are you blocking updates thru the router or opendns method ? Had you blocked updates thri the router &/or opendns for other FTV(S)'s before and left things in place ? Are you running a VPN on it? What app market location are you in or are trying to access?

http://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-fire-tv-stick-and-amazon-appstore-launch-in-india/
The app selection on the Fire TV Stick in India is much more limited than in any other country because paid apps and apps with in-app purchasing are not yet supported in the Indian Amazon appstore. Although my Downloader app is 100% free, it does have in-app purchasing enabled to accept donations, so my Downloader app is not yet allowed in India. I’ll try to find out when apps with in-app purchasing will be allowed on Indian Fire TVs. If it seems like something that won’t be available for a while, I’ll release a version of my Downloader app in India with the donation buttons removed.

Change to English(UK) & see if that helps. Not sure if you will have to add a UK address in you account for it to work right. Also read the comments to see what others are experiencing. Seems the India FTV App Store is bare bones at the moment.

I'll try that. Btw thanks for the link.
<OT>
Do you know any way I could get an android TV apk of a certain app? I've tried market helper, it won't work as google has blocked it's access token. No hopes with build.prop edits. I've tried emulating android tv on avd but that too sucks as play store is not proper over there. It's stuck at sign in.
App I need: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.balaji.alt
This is for my mom.

I believe this is what your looking for:
https://m.apkpure.com/altbalaji/com.balaji.alt
Should be the latest version. Just sideload it & install it. It's probably not the AndroidTV version. Will see if that one is out there later.

Nah that too is the phone version.
Do y'all have any Telegram or whatsapp group for the ftv tho?
If not we should have a telegram group at least. Also thanks a lot for helping me. You look like a future RC to me
One last question: (noobish) How do i make normal casting work/screen mirroring on ftvs work in background all the time
Idk but after 2 days the app store automatically started working lmao. Maybe they blocked it for the first day

Firestick 2 Won't run without google play services which are not supported by device

I sideloaded a television providers app (Fios Mobile) installed on my device. The app was working perfectly but it just updated and I keep getting the error "Won't run without google play services which are not supported by your device".
I tried reverting back to the previous version but it was a mandatory update, so no dice. I tried sideloading the Google Play store but that did not help.
Is there a workaround for this type of error? The app does not API call any of Google Play Services. It seems like many of the TV apps are dropping support (they encouraged it a few years ago to lower bills) so you buy another Set top box. Other cable apps know you are inserting a device into a HDMI port and disable it from working that way.
I can download each individual TV app and enter my television providers password or mirror from my Android Phone but that would be a huge inconvenience.
Any suggestions? If there an app that will fool my TV app into thinking the play store is installed?
Since every channel pretty much has it's own app now, is there another app that will take its place instead of downloading each channels separate app and entering the password?
Is your firestick rooted? (Sorry, I don't know if they can even be rooted.) If so, there's an Xposed module to allow apps to work without Google Play Services.
Another idea is to get the Fios Mobile app from the Amazon App Store and side load that one onto your Fire TV: https://www.amazon.com/Verizon-Services-Corp-FiOS-Mobile/dp/B00DGVUD9I/
That one may not have any dependencies on Google apps.

Seriously, you are giving me outdated information???? "Fios Mobile won't run unless you update Google Play Services". It would be nice to know where to find updated compatible versions for each. I have looked at several app stores and none seem to work. So please cut that attitude as your five-second search advice did not get me any further than I was before.

Last I checked the Firestick 2 can't be routed. Please correct me if I am wrong.

I tried two different app stores but not that Amazon one. Crossing fingers!!!! DARN. Just tried it and said incompatible, you can't make purchases from this device. Fios does support Kindle fire but as I suspect, they don't want the app as a box substitute like they used too.
Maybe, someone has an updated version of what Timmy P linked too. Hopefully, they will test the link first before making condescending remarks about checking older posts.

Because when I read that site from the original author it said FTV and FTV stick not 2 dumbass. Then I read the re-post on here claiming FTV 2 from MARCH 2017!! DId you not see where I said everything was working perfectly since September 4th!!!! Technology changes fast little tike. Google also updates and apps do along with it buttercup.
But I assumed someone with such a smug post must be correct but what a surprise you were not cupcake.
Since there is only 1 person who found a fix on the entire internet, it must not be a very easy fix. If it were, he could put it on APK sites for constant updates.
That is why I also asked 1: If there is a workaround. Easy/permanent if possible, so I don't need to worry about this update. Even easier if there is a 3rd party app that would consolidate all the apps and enter my default password for me.
P.S Being smug even when your correct is being an ass, doing so when you are incorrect makes you a stinky diarrhea with **** nuggets still stuck kind of ass.
I take it English isn't your first language?

Actually, it is but the English language can't adequately describe just how big of a douche you are.
