App use during calls - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

I've been a HTC user for years but have a friend with a Note 8 and problem I could use your help with. When making calls he would like to be able to access apps without losing calls which he could do on his Note 3, but not on the 8. Does anyone have a way to fix that issue?

What does it do that does not allow it?
My Note 8 is the same as my older Notes, press the home button while on a call to exit out of the call screen, then choose the app you want to run. If the app requires a fast data connection then VoLTE must be enabled (& available on the network).

Same^ Like shouren pointed out VoLTE might not be available or turned on.

Seems like his issue due to due volte not implemented or working with his device due to his network or phone related.

Does the friend have the setting in his phone to hang up when pressing the home button? Lol

[Q] Has anyone tried the free sim unlock workaround?

http://gs4.wonderhowto.com/how-to/c...y-s4-so-you-can-use-another-sim-card-0148110/
Has anyone tried using the same loophole from earlier Samsung devices to SIM unlock their Note 3?
It doesn't work for me.
It doesn't work I tried it the first day I got the phone,they changed the menus on the note 3.I dialed the number and the menus are different.They must have seen people using the special menu and patched it on the note 3 with a different menu
#*197328640# works but no access to Phone Control menu.

AT&T NumberSync Note 8(SM-N950F) with Gear S3 working?

Does anyone have a Gear S3(AT&T LTE version) and got it to work with NumberSync on their International Note 8(SM-N950F)? AT&T chat seems to have no clue as to why it won't work(I'm basically thinking since it's an international version and not branded At&T), but the reps can't confirm that. They just say buy a new device that is NumberSync capable, but when I ask them which phones are those, they can't give me an answer..
They thought it was my IMEI, which at the AT&T store, they had to spoof the IMEI from my Moto X Pure Style to get the 4G/LTE to work correctly.
It would just be great to have the NumberSync to work, but I have no problems with the Bluetooth connection for now.

Have you tried reseting the watch?Numbersync works in part with the stock messaging app. AT&T advanced messaging syncs your messages to the server and then it gets forwarded to your Gear. For numbersync to work on the international version you will most likely need to odin the AT&T stock image since it wont have the Advance messaging or try installing the advance messaging files. I've had my fair share of numbersync issues but eventually it got better with my S3/S8+ and now Note 8.

Hmmm... I see you have a US version of the Note 8, so you're probably in a better situation than I am atm. My Note 8 on my account only shows up as unknown device. I haven't been on this page as much since rooting my phone, so I'll follow up on the CSC flashing or ODIN AT&T image, if that's possible now. I'll look for Advance messaging as well. I know the Gear S3 still shows that when not in bluetooth or Wi-FI, it shows remotely connected, I still get notifications of miss calls from my phone, so it's sending me notifications in that sense, limited...
Thanks for the mentioned options, I'll look into them.
I tried to access NumberSync through my account but it says note 8 not compatible
Make sure you are signed into the myAT&T app. It uses that to sync your info/number.

Need Help With At&t Note 9 stuck w/ sprint omadm

OK so let me start from the beginning.
I Networked unlocked my At&t note 9.
put in a T Mobile sim put the unlock code in and everything went fine.
Today I had a friend that's been having a issue with her sprint s10 dropping calls.
so i put her chip in my note 9 make a test call and got a message about sprint activation. I ignored it shut the phone
off and when i rebooted with my at&t chip im still getting this omadm message from sprint and it tries to activate.
Tried several times downloaded Firmware for my note 9. used odin .
also booted to recovery deleted cache and the other setting to factory reset.
reboot and still get this message.
tried the following
https://www.xda-developers.com/uninstall-carrier-oem-bloatware-without-root-access/
https://forum.xda-developers.com/sp...move-sprint-omadm-notification-t3636264/page2
still nothing has removed this .rebooted several more times still same thing.
I check in about phone>status under brand says sprint (WTF) and username has some numbers with @hcm.sprintpcs.com
now i also have a update trying to download which also appears to be from sprint .
At this point i need any help i can get please .

That didn't do anything either but thanks.
Weird. Have you tried letting it "activate" on sprint? I would try that. Then shut down phone, and restart with your sim.

I called samsung there sending me a replacement .
If anyone else has input on a solution, I would like to hear just to have the info. At least you're getting taken care of.

Sounds like your device may not have been unlocked properly...
Download phone.info app and screen shot the csc etc here.
Also put boot up with a t mobile sim and see what happens.

Yeah, Sprint's carrier apps need burned out with fire. In the G-pad their Chameleon was installed as something like com.lge.hiddenmenu, and it's job was using accessibility permissions to knock any menu they didn't want you touching into the background.. Sprint = Hitler.

Verizon alert keeps popping up

My phone is constantly being interrupted by this annoying popup: (I can't post links being a new user, but the image is at imgur FN7uUhL )
"Alert
Sorry, we're having trouble connecting. Make sure you have a good signal and try again. If you still can't connect, call us at 800-922-0204.
Error code 1001"
It doesn't say what app it is, but I suspect it's from Verizon because the phone number is theirs.
My phone is unlocked and I use it on Personal in Argentina. I've used this phone for years and this only started happening last Thursday out of nowhere. No new apps, no system upgrade.
Rebooting the phone doesn't help either, and I wouldn't want to factory reset if it can be avoided. Any ideas what this might be?
Thanks!
same, just today noticed this on an older LG G4
Alert Message - Same thing here...
Same thing here have had Moto E4 Plus on Metro PCS for the last few years and just started receiving this message in the last week. The phone was a Verizon phone that I unlocked and has been working great on Metro...until now. What's going on?
This issue has me needing to toss my note 5 in the lake I wonder has anyone called the number in the error message thanks happens when i need every second . My note 5 unlocked and running on cricket

Same here on my note 4, using T-mo prepaid. Just started a week ago. Also the verizon splash screen still displays on power up. My understanding is the V boot loader is locked.

SOLVED I had the same problem as well but I found a way to get rid of it, you gotta disable the My Verizon app and then 1 settings then mobile networks then network mode and set the global off to LTE/GSM/UMTS and then it will not pop up anymore, your welcome.
by Myles Tecomba
Good news, I found the locations since I don't have "my verizon apps" Bad news, the fix does NOT work at all.
Solved
I actually got online with Motorola because I knew that the app causing this nightmare was Verizon Login . The problem is that I debloated all my Verizon and the problem still occurred. But then by going through Settings | Apps | ... |Show System, I say the bugger was still there. I disabled it and the problem was solved. Of course this worked for me because I'm on an unblocked phone and note using Verizon.
My husbands Samsung Galaxy S7 has been doing this for over a month. He tried disabling anything Verizon related and even a factory reset and it's still doing it.

Yes, I did same with my note 4, still there. IGNORE those solved posts, this problem is NOT solved. I use T-mobile prepaid with this phone and since verizon locks the boot loader, there is not yet a rooting solution for this phone and since it's a note 4 there will not be one forthcoming.
fixed it permanently
SOLVED: I have two Verizon phones that I now use on T-Mobile and this has worked for both.
Settings->Apps & Notifications->App Info (options may be slightly renamed on different versions of Android, may be Applications instead, just get to the big list of applications in the Settings app)
then hit the triple dot/menu thing to give extra options and choose Show System
Scroll down and choose Verizon Login and disable it and force stop it.
Message will be gone forever. I've rebooted both phones several times and the message has never come up again.
In addition, disable permissions of My Verizon: SMS, phone and GPS location, your welcome

So I have an old Verizon tablet that is running android 5.1.1. I don't have options for "show system" or "Verizon login" that I can find. Anybody familiar with this 5.1.1 that knows where it would be or if I'm overlooking. Thanks.
Awesome! I'm using an unlocked Verizon LG G5 in Canada and I've been trying for quite some time to get rid of this problem. I've tried all the suggested fixes I could find on the net and this is the solution! Thanks so much buddy. Much appreciated eh!
This problem started recently for me on Samsung S6 unlocked Verizon phone that I use with foreign SIM cards when traveling. I tried restoring settings to default, but that didn't work. Then I tried resetting network settings and that appears to have worked. it was popping up every couple minutes and so far it has not.
don't work

I had the same problem on my unlocked S6 Edge and knew that the Verizon Login app was the issue but the damn phone wouldn't let me disable it; grayed out. I bought an app in the Play Store named "Package Disabler Pro (Samsung)" for $2.99. The thing will let you disable ANY software whether built in or not. So once you launch, disable Verizon Login with it and the problem is gone. If you disable "Setup Wizard", you also won't get the stupid message about the SIM not being VZW card when you boot. I disabled all the other Verizon software too. Problem was so aggravating that I got an account here just to share the answer since I figure it has to be driving people CRAZY!!!!

Help!!!
Still having this issue, I’ve disabled all those apps, force stopped them, and it continues to haunt the phone. I’ve called Verizon and they don’t know anything about it, and I’m really about to throw the phone away and buy a new one. It’s an s7 so it’s still a decent phone, but I don’t know what else to do
So Close, but Disable is Disabled

This definitely got me closer. Using this method I was able to revoke permissions which forces VZ SpyLogin to fail so it isn't running, BUT, the "Disable" button is disabled, even if I force stop the app. It's most certainly this application causing the issue. Thanks for the closest solution.
**EXTRA info
This wasn't happening at all on my phone ever, and this is an old one (I need the IR blaster in the Samsung G6). It's an unlocked Verizon branded phone running on ATT network. I factory reset it yesterday and now I am getting this annoying Verizon Login nonsense.
