Hi, I somehow added a number to the blacklist in my cyanogen 5.x rom without even knowing that I did it and without going to settings to do it manually. Does anyone know the 'shortcut' to put a number in the blacklist? I spent two days trying to figure out why this person was getting hung up on but everyone else was fine.
Bump. I find it extremely hard to believe that no one knows how to add to the blacklist! (without going to the settings explicitly)
Used to be a way in Contacts, but I can't find it anymore.
i saw a dialog come up momentarily today that said "add to blacklist" but i dont know what made it come up. i would really like to be able to add to blacklist from the call log.
the number has to be in your list of contacts (ie. you must have added it as a contact)
if you then long press on the contact from the list, you can add it to the blacklist
It's actually very easy to add someone to the blacklist, maybe even too easy - when you're getting a call and instead of accepting or rejecting it you press the menu button, you'll see a popup with "add to blacklist" button. Or at least that's how it looks like in SuperD roms. But as far as i know they're using the same dialer, so it should be the same on cyanogenmod.
Adding someone to the blacklist by accident happened to me as well. Took me a while to figure out why one of my friends couldn't call me even though still could text me

Yes, this is true for all ROMs that use that particular phone modification.
As for a shortcut, just go to settings if you want to add one instantly without them calling. It doesn't take that long.
Hmm, I did think that I saw something for a split second right when I tried to answer the call that I blacklisted. Pressing menu doesn't do anything though.
first and foremost i wanna start out by saying that rooting my phone was an awesome idea. it started out as me just wanting to overclock the cpu and enable 720p recording but now that its rooted im really appreciating what actual full customization means. my phone is working near perfect and is stable except for the boot loop when i initially rooted but i did find one issue.
for some reason when i go into my dialer and press the area where the number shows and i cant figure out how to disable the second number pad that shows up. Any help?
Simple, just don't press the area where the numbers show. Just start dialling with the dial pad that's already there.

as simple as it sounds there are times in the lives of phone users when a number needs to be edited. so thank you for you suggestion but realistically people dont always dial perfectly. and in my case im in florida with a new york number so i need to add 1 to every number before i call out. so when im selecting a number off a webpage i have to press that area to add the "1" beforehand
Just press back burton to dismiss the android keyboard after you edited the number.

yeah. but i was curious if theres a way to just disable it altogether to be honest. the look of the second number pad on top of the stock number pad just isnt aesthetically pleasing.
Not sure if this has been posted before, but for reference, here's two lovely commands for your Revo4g.
Please note! Not all of the commands in the menus are safe-- in fact, just plain ol assume that these menus can totally mess up your phone in a way not even LG understands.
If you don't know what you're doing, don't mess with them!
With that said, here they are.
Open the dialer, and dial:
VZW Hidden Menu
##program910
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
LG Hidden Menu
##lgservicemenu
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When prompted for a code, just enter zeroes until the dialogue box goes away. I didn't count how many...
I still need to finish analyzing the apps, but it looks like one could possibly enable some 'features' (*cough* tethering) if one pressed buttons in the correct order leading to a DUN MIP change
Good luck! Don't brick your device!
in LG Hideen Menu>data
there is Enable "Admin Data".....what could that be?
EDIT: Just a thought, does this have anything to do with the "Device Admin Settings" shortcut you can add with a long press on a homescreen?

nope, not at all.
It is a modem preference, I'm still investigating what it does...

You can actually set a shortcut to these in either launcher pro or adw I seem to recall. That will give you easy access to the features.

Would any of these codes help with the bluetooth connection issue with version 3?
so does anyone know what we need to press for tetherimg?
LG Revolution hidden menu's
Anyone know how to open the puk menu on the LG Revolution?
Sounds like it's time for some IRC collaboration to figure out what all these fun little options do.
Any clue on how to open puk menu?
Okay, so I want to be able to do a couple of things. The first is nagging me, as I'm sure there's a way to do it, the second I'm not so sure about.
1) I want to be able to access the multi-tasking/Recent Apps list from anywhere. My idea is to push and hold Menu to get it to pop up, since Home uses Google Now when it's pushed and held. I know there was a way to do that with the search key back when we had 4 keys using LaunchKey, but I can't find anything to let me assign push/hold functionality to Menu. I'm rooted, so I'm sure there's a way to do this...
2) This I'm not so sure of. Because of the charging port being on the side of the phone, it works best in my car when it's held in a landscape orientation in my windshield-mounted dock. This is great for everything except one thing: the dialer. I know in most AOSP custom ROMs I've used on other phones, the dialer rotates with the phone. Since I've rarely stuck to stock on a phone before, and we're kind of forced to here, is there a way to get the dialer to rotate?

1. What jonslice says.
2. Download another dialer in the play store.
Holy crap. I feel so stupid now. How did I not know that? LOL
And yeah, downloaded another dialer. Forgot I could do that (since I've never really done it before). Thanks guys!
I got the idea to create a topic about important things to know about the Note 8 such like in which country the LTE/4G will work and in which country not.
Real on screen time, tips and tricks to bypass certain issues and some other interesting things to know about the phablet.
I will update the main post everytime when something new is found and keep it up 2 date for users so everyone can see a quick fix or a quick answer.
If you have a fix for anything or information to update the list, please provide it in the reply`s so i can update the main post.
4G/LTE works in:
The Netherlands
Canada
UK
Germany
Spain
Poland
Greece
Russia
Australia
Switzerland
Indonesia
Things to know
Max recording resolution is not 2160p as said on the internet but max 1080P.
If you unlock the bootloader it will give you a warning when you boot up the phone saying your phone has been unlocked and can`t be trusted, this is normal when you unlocked the bootloader.
Only 1 of the 2 simcards can use 4g at the time, so there is no 4g for both of the simcards at the same time.
Hold power and volume up when starting the phone to get in the E-recovery menu.
There is only one version of this phone, the chinese one.
This version is called the EDI-AL10, and all the languages are provided on the phone.
Some websites who are selling this phone are telling that this phone misses certain languages such as dutch.
This is not true, every language is present so no worries.
Playstore is not included on the phone, you can simply download it from the HiApp which is already pre-installed on the phone.
The fingerprintscanner can take up to 4 fingers, the fingerprintscanner only works when you activate an unlock code or password to get out of the lockscreen.
Latest rom version is B029.
Previous B027
Previous B022
Previous B017
Quickfixes/Tips and tricks:
Push notifcations
To make push notifications work again create a widget (provided with the app) and place it on your home screen.
The widget will keep the services alive, even when you close the app in the taskmanager.
Make sure you toggle them on in the protected apps menu and put the powerplan on performance mode.
This works for all apps that came with the option to create a widget for it.
Homebutton changer (provided by kalinskym)
To disable HiVoice to allow a different application/ shortcut to work as the Home Button without being rooted. Download Debloater from http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/debloater-remove-carrier-bloat-t2998294 and disable HiVoice.apk. (com.huawei.vassistant) After you have done that you won't see HiVoice anymore and will be able to change an app/ shortcut to the home button long press by going into Apps in Settings, clicking on Advance at the bottom. Then click Default app settings and finally Assistance & voice input to change assist app (home button app/shortcut)
One handed mode
To activate one handed mode drag you finger on the navigation bar from left to right to make the screen smaller and using for the right hand.
And drag it from right to left to make the screen smaller for using it with your left hand.
Once activated drag it in the opposite way once to restore full screen or tap once on the screen above that isn't in use.
Knuckle gesture/Splitscreen
To activate "Knuckle gesture" or just splitscreen, swipe your knuckle in the center of the screen from left to right or right to left.
When doing this succesfully the knuckle command will activate splitscreen.
Knuckle gesture/Advanced screenshot
Touch (knock) your knuckle on the screen and keep touching the screen, there will come a blue sparkle once activated drag a circle or square and it will give you a selection field.
On top are some figures you can choose from.
You can now select the part you want the screenshot from and save it directly on to the phone.
Double tap your knuckle on the screen to make a full screenshot. (same as volume down+power button)
Drawing an S on the screen with your knuckle will create a screen shot while it scrolls down the page.
This wil create a screenshot with a larger screenshot containing all the footage on the screen.
Now you don't have to make multiple screenshots to get everything on the screen and down.
(Check screenshot in the attachments)
Please let me know in which country you guys are and if 4g/lte works in your country so i can update the 4g/lte list.

This is useful information. Thanks for that! I have been having an issue with the fingerprint reader taking a second longer to unlock when the phone goes into a deep sleep; However, whenever the screen is recently turned off or when the phone is charging and I try to unlock it with the fingerprint scanner, it works super fast. It's only slow when I initially wake the phone from a deep sleep. Has this happened to you/anyone? I think it may either be an app or marshmallow doze feature. I would appreciate any suggestion/advice. Thanks.

I don`t have any delays with the fingerprint, however i use Smart Unlock to bypass the fingerprint in trusted locations.
Did you already tried to remove the old prints and register new?
Only thing else i can say if thats not working is to factory reset the phone.
on what powerplan did you put your phone? And did you toggle answer calls with fingerprint.
Sounds silly but if thats disabled there is a possibilty that the fingerprint app goes in sleep while activated for answering calls could keep it alive....Always worth trying...

I tried removing the old fingerprints and replaced with new ones. I even did a factory reset. The factory reset did it. That's what leads me to believe it's more an app than marshmallow doze. I just don't know how to identify which app. I even played with turning on all the features of fingerprint scanner. I am on performance mode. It's not a HUGE deal since the phone still unlocks faster than others, but it's a nuance since you know the phone is capable of unlocking faster. If you can think of another recommendation as to identifying the app or cause I would be grateful.

Hi, 4G works in Russia.
I think an easier way to change the voice assistant would be to download the Microsoft Clip Layer app. When it asks you to Tap on Assist app click on that setting and choose something different. I had already had HiVoice disabled when I downloaded the app so if someone else can confirm that it will work I'm sure someone would appreciate it.
4G/Lte works in Melbourne, Australia on Optus
4G/LTE is working fine in Switzerland! (16ms ping, 89Mb/s DL and 20Mb/s in UL in the alps)
Thnx guys, post updated!

Hi, I did a factory reset and confirmed that the Microsoft Clip Layer app does allow you to switch the voice assistant. It is a much easier process than disabling the app and does not require a computer hook-up.
