A VERY strange bug (not sure if its ATandT or Moto related)
occurs with Atrix phones that are unlocked and used in Canada (Fido, Rogers) etc.
Some callers, even if they are saved in the address book show up as
'PayPhone' calling, making it impossible to know who it is
A temp fix is to call our provider and remove 'Name Display' which is a feature that shows peoples names even if they are not added. But this feature has never conflicted with any Android phone I have ever owned (many). So it is a unique issue

Where would I look into fixing this issue, anyone have any starters?
Thanks!
Does Bell have name display as an option?

Yeah this is really annoying for me aswell
I haven't found a fix yet and might just have to switch to basic caller id

I had the same issue. It is not a bug related to 'Canada'. I am on Fido and had this problem. The issue was that I had 3 email accounts all sync'ing contacts and some how things got messed up.
Here is what I did to fix it.
1. Format the phone.
2. Add ONLY 1 email account at a time.
3. Make a test call between each new email account addition to ensure the caller id works.
4. Ensure only syncing contacts from one email account.
That worked for me. GOod luck.
That can't possibly be true, if you don't have contacts in your address book, it still says pay phone

I found this issue so annoying, I called Rogers and removed the name display - it's costing me $4 more to have these things not in a package, but man it is good to know who is calling.
Not for Bell users.. been using the Atrix since the 3rd day after US launch, and I've never had that issue.
I've had it show both payphone and the proper name/number... weird
ya it seems bell is safe
and i only have one account vampire 32 so it cant be true
so noone knows ne hack or nethign we can change
I called rogers and I hate them, I get the value pack for free so they can't do anything about the separate basic caller Id

Nothing to do with email accounts - this happens even when you do not have any contacts set up. The Motorola guys confirm it as an issue with Name Display with Caller ID.
ya they (fido) told me its in my paid plan so they cant disable it
im like its an extra feature if anything i shud save money by disabling it so just do it
there like no its included
are these guys retarded
this is such a crappy problem, a first for my android phones

why this phone tho, why at and t?
ive had many androids before, many moto phones
WITH name display
never had a problem. Clearly it is a unique error they must fix
except motorola doesnt probably care
i might actually get rid of the phone because of this, its annoying like hell and i am not paying more per month to get callerID working
Just as an FYI if you're changing your account on Rogers... they will likely reset your contract to re-start the 3 years on the day you change
*yay* Rogers.
the more i read about the atrix the more i think i might of made a mistake buying this phone and i havent even used it yet(in the mail). this might be the deal breaker though. so this happens to all att atrix on rogers/fido? what is basic caller id, does it just show the number without name? hopefully this can be solved.

I'm okay with that providing they extend everything I have including my 6GB data pack and my, retentions derived, voice pack.
EDIT: looks like the price went up a little due to the change, but no indication of contract term.

they dont reset your contract for altering name display. i just called and asked them to disable it and they were fine with it. i have it as part of an iphone feature bundle and i asked them to disable it, not delete it and they did it within two minutes.
just be nice when you ask and you should not have an issue.

It could be. Some things they do others they dont. I called once to increase my data plan. They reset my contract. When I called to complain they said it was because I was getting better service. Complained enough to get it set back, now I'm warry every time I make a change
Funny that I am reading this wondering where you all got your devices from in the first place as I've been looking to buy.
But yes the best bet is to make the change and then call back in a day to make sure nothing got screwed up with your contract.

I have question about security. I have to know what options are there to find out sms conversation. I use Handcent sms in which I use privacy box with one person to determine that noone else except me would know what we are texting about. But one thing happened. Third person know what exactly we are texting about, even if I constantly deleted sms everyday. I can't imagine the way how he find out this.
I study software development so about security I know something. I know that handcent saves database of sms even if they are deleted or not. I used sqlite to find out what is exactly in the db and find out, that this is not right way how he find out. I also find out that in handcent autobackup option was checked, but noticed that when you delete sms, backup file changed and there were only sms i intented to be there. I also tried antivirus programs to find out if there is some kind of malware or trojan, nothing found.
So my question is: what options of finding out sms conversation are there? Even if third person can access mentioned mobile phone or not?
I will appreciate any good advice

Was it a known person? Or a random person? If he was a friend/person you know, then he either heard through the grape vine or got your phone or the person you were textings phone. I dont think there is a way to "hack" your phone from a computer and view the texts you sent. Unless he got them from your carrier.

Yes it is but would need to go through tones of red tape and have to be a Cop of some kind.
Most likely it was who ever you were texting. There are also other ways that it could happen. Apps that forward all texts to another number used to be a big one back in windows mobile days. Not sure if there is an app like that for android

It's probably the problem that this person has a friend which works for vodafone which this phone uses. Forwarding all texts is not possible i think, because this person would catch up on this earlier..

There used to be an app that could be installed that did all this with the user even knowing about it. Once installed it was hidden away and it never showed that the messages would be forwarded. It was a proof of concept app that someone made for learning. If they had someone working for the company it would have to be a higher up to have access to the cached data bases the company keeps which are encrypted.
I have a feeling the OP was ratted out by the one they were texting.

Been lurking this forum for years... but...
I bought a G-Watch on Friday night, and have been using it ever since... my problem is that when I send a text message via the watch, there is no record of it in the messaging app - whether stock or 3rd party.
However, in the stock app, an empty text message will pop up, only to say "no content." Whats even more strange, is that the message is STILL SENT!! Even though there is no record of it on the phone. Receiving messages works fine, its just sending that is the problem. I've looked at every setting I can think of... no luck.
Help!

That's definitely a bug. Seems to be more an issue on the phone than on the watch. No idea how you would fix this though. Don't wanna say reset, but it's the only thing I can think of. Try to reset just the watch first, then you won't have to setup everything on your phone again.

That's kinda what I figured. I factory reset both of them last night with no luck. I guess I just have to wait for an update - kinda sucks wondering if the fix will be included in the next update, or if LG even knows its an issue. I've looked for hours and haven't seen anything related.
Thanks.
Have you considered moving out to hangouts to use alongside the watch? Ever since I got mines I just made hangouts the primary app and I haven't had any issues.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.

I did, with the same result.
However, I just stopped by Verizon a couple minutes ago, and he asked me if I had tried Verizon's app called "Verizon messaging" and I of course said no. He put it on the phone and it actually worked. But with that app, the watch doesn't vibrate during the notification of an incoming text.
So I guess I have to pick which is more important... a record of sent texts, or a legit notification that I received a text message. I'm leaning towards option 2.
That's interesting. I'm not sure why it's not working on either app. And I'd definitely go for option 2 as well. another dumb question have you reset your phone and the watch?

Yep. I've reset both, with the same result. I don't have much confidence that this will ever be fixed - but we'll see.
I keep getting an error whenever someone sends me a picture message, saying the message was not downloaded, tap to retry. Tapping to retry does nothing, and then I'll get the same error notification several times a day, until I just go and delete the failed picture download. In many or all cases tho, the picture actually does download. I'm on T-Mobile but haven't had this error for years on several different phones..... just the Tmo V30. Anyone else?
I'm getting the same thing on my T-Mobile V30+ is super annoying. I have no idea what is causing it.

I had disabled Android Pay for some reason, so i went ahead and re-enabled it. I had only used the settings within the phone to do that tho. Do you think it could be something like that?
We aren't the only ones, I posted this on Reddit V30 sub and a few others chimed in with the same problem. I haven't managed to find out if everyone is on T-Mobile.

No, disabling Android Pay by using settings in the phone wouldn't cause that issue with texts.
The only reason I'm asking if because a few times when people have complained about stuff not working -- like Always On Display and other things -- turns out they used package disabler or ADB (using the same vague package disabler descriptions) to disable/remove what they thought was "bloatware" but was really stuff they wanted to work.
Or caused severe lag, because the phone apparently looks for what's missing before giving up. It's ironic people are slowing their own phones down...
1) a lot of things are interconnected.
2) true bloatware isn't labelled "this is useless", with important stuff labeled "this is important".
Right now there's a case where a guy and his wife both have T-Mobile LG V30, on T-Mobile with the same plan, same exact firmware. But one has VoLTE grayed out while the other doesn't, and one dialer doesn't show voicemail icon while the other does. He used the package disabler to disable some services and apps, but we don't know why they're different if he disabled the same things? He also doesn't know what to re-enable to get everything back.
But it sounds like that's not the reason in your case.

Yes, gotcha. I've kinda been there, done that haha. In the past. These days I don't do much to my phone, just let it be and work like normal. Well, hopefully it works anyway
Same issue on T-Mobile v30+.... sometimes MMS/photos fail and offers "retry" only to fail again.... doesn't happen all the time....usually on 5 or more mb images.
What's strange is that it seems like I sometimes get the picture AND a failed message. Like if somebody sends me two pictures, I'll get the two pictures and two failed messages. So I'll I wonder if maybe they sent me four pictures, but when I ask they tell me they sent me two. Weird

It's a carrier locked phone from Claro latin America. They seem to be using mostly stock google apps except for the dialer. Gallery and music have both LG and Google versions.. I have not used any other V30 so I thought all other carrier versions were the same.

Hey all. I have had the same issue from the first week I got both my V30's and I am on T-Mobile as well. I went to the store and they tried every troubleshooting step they could and tried every combination of settings. I am using the stock messaging app and even with a third party google messages app, it still happens so I think it's a T-Mobile issue. They had tech support call me which was not very helpful because they tried doing the same steps the store did and I should mention I worked for Verizon Tech for ten years so I kind of know my way around a phone. I went and completed a master reset and restored nothing at all, and it still happened. I changed the sim like T-Mobile said and still the same. I connected my phone to my PC and used LG software upgrade and repair tool after the new software was available and still the same. Went back to the store and they are going to send me a warranty replacement even though it is happening on both my phones. T-Mobile is not acknowledging this issue and if this warranty replacement has the same problem, I will take it to the next step and report it to the BBB.
Any updates? Having same issues. Changed sms to mms and vice versa but still no change. Picture messages fail to download regardless of size even at 900 kb. People say they get my messages 5-10 minutes after I send to them. My group messages seem to be on a huge delay in receiving and sending.

I have a US998 v30s on Verizon with the stock Oreo 8.0 rom. A peculiarity is that no notification appears on the status bar after a voice message is received. What happens instead is that a text message is sent to the phone. The text message is "coded" and not intended to be read by humans. Nonetheless, it isn't hard to spot the caller id of the person who left the voice message within the text. Another text message is sent to the phone upon emptying the voice mail box. My suspicion is that these messages should turn on or off the voice message status bar notification. Is anyone familar with this behavior and how do I get the notifcations to work properly.
Thanks in advance for any assistance and apologies if this is asked an answered in another forum,

Yup. This is one of the issues with using non-Verizon phones on Verizon.
VZW won't let you install the proprietary Verizon apk.
I'm hoping someone figures it out soon.
I like having an unlocked bootloader on Verizon.
Had this problem too. I just started using Google Voice as my voicemail service instead. Works for me :good:
It might yet be possible to get it working though I agree switching to google voice would be sesnible and easier, too. The reason for thinking so is that I have a droid turbo with resurrection remix as a backup phone. It has no verizon software, and the vms notifications work fine. Perhaps someone with one of @SGCMarkus roms on verizon can comment? If not, I'll give it a go eventually.
I think it is more likely related to just visual voicemail and not voicemail in general. I have us998 and use an MVNO whose repackaged service is Verizon. I have no issues with just voicemail, but when they tried enabling visual voicemail on my account, I started to get the weird texts. As soon as visual voicemail was disabled the texts went away and the standard voicemail notification started working again.
Visual VoiceMail or Advanced VoiceMail as its called in Verizon's business control panel is the cause. If you switch your service to Basic VoiceMail you wont get those anymore. Although I have to agree with everyone here that switching to Google Voice for Voicemail was the best option. After you sign up for Google Voice, google around for the special forwarding codes to use. Thier were two if memory serves, special numbers you can dial on your cell phone and then provide your Google Voice number. This makes all unanswered or denied calls go to your Google Voice number directly which will then take a message. Google Voice honestly does a much better job than Visual VoiceMail, even offering voicemail-to-text for free.
Took the plunge and installed @SGCMarkus' DotOS rom. The voice message indicator is now working. The issue seems to be in the software of the open market v30.

Really? So Visual Voicemail works properly on AOSP!?
Did you also install Stark's camera mod? Does it have all of the functionality of the stock camera?
Thanks for the feedback!
It seems so, but I confess to not fully understand some of the Verizon nomenclature. Perhaps this helps get the correct conclusion. My service is basic, I dial *86 to get to voice messages, and I don't have any verizon software. The tape notification flips on and off properly with DotOS. The notification doesn't work with the stock lg software. I get a clunky text messages instead like described above.
I haven't tried Stark's camera but plan to soon.
Other lg apps like HD audio recorder and FM radio install but force close.

Ahh. Visual Voicemail is the service/app that you use to access and listen to voicemails through the app on the screen. It sounds very different than what you are suggesting works (message notification). I am holding out on stock in hopes that someone will eventually get it to work.
Thanks for the feedback, though.

That is great news! I'll be trying that tonight.
Did you have to flash the 2 other files too?

I loaded the kdz in lgup, used parttion upgrade, unchecked boot, and recovery....I did NOT reflash noencrypt or lgrootchecker, or magisk. It booted, still have root.
My service is better too. I already had the modem flashed, so there must be something with the actual 996 fw. I'm quite happy now.

It is working, but I am getting some force closes and it can't read my sdcard.
EDIT: SD card corrupt. Tap to repair.
Format of SD card in phone fails. TWRP can't read it either. Bummer.

I have no force closes. I will pop an SD card in and check.
Edit....no issues with SD card either. Not sure why your having issues. Maybe try wiping data?
Anyone using a converted ls to us on Verizon NEEDS to do this! My service is back strong and better than ever.
Can I load the vzw kdz on my open market us998?
From what I'm reading, it sounds like I can. I of course feel more comfortable when I can get others to confirm.
Thanks

Thanks.
I probably should have mentioned that I am on Verizon and have unlocked bootloader with root. Shouldn't assume that folks know that.

Wow! This is amazing! I'm on a converted ls as well. Thanks for testing this out!
Can you link to the kdz, please? I'm not sure where to find it.

The "ls" he's referring to is likely the LS998, which was a Sprint phone. If that's what it was, then he had to convert it to an unlocked US998 to be able to load the Verizon kdz, so you should be able to do the same thing. Should, of course, being the operative word.
