Verizon call filter app on us998? - LG V30 Questions & Answers

Hi all, I purchased my us998 from B&H way back when, so it thankfully doesn't have any of the big red bloat. However, now I've been unable to get the now free Verizon call filter because the app was not preloaded, and doesn't allow me to install from the app store. Any ideas?

Market enabler no longer works, any other apps to unlock market to certain carriers?

Hello everyone!
There was an app called Market Enabler that allowed you to unlock your market to certain carriers. For example I used the app to set my market to a Japanese cell company called SoftBank. When i activated the app it would make my market all in Japanese and told me all of the top free paid etc apps that would be in Japan.
Ever since there was an update to the market the app no longer works. I tried a few apps but they don't do the job. Tried setting and changing my phone model via a file called build but that doesn't seem to work, I can't even change my phones model.
Can anyone suggest an app like that? My phone is rooted, custom rom and everything. If the app is not free, that's totally fine.
Thanks you very much.

[Q] Amazon app store apps w/o network access?

Recently I went out of the country, and had no network access. My girlfriend was trying to play some games from the Amazon app store that I purchased, but it yelled at her because we had no network access. Is there a way around this, to use the apps on my device that I got from the Amazon app store w/o having network access?
I hadn't used the device in some time, do you have to use it once in awhile to kind of keep the account active? Any information anyone can provide will be helpful. I'm from the US, and was in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic when I got the error. It happened during any apps I had downloaded previously from the Amazon App store, and was using my Motorola Xoom to play the apps.

Did you uninstall the Amazon Store app from your phone by any chance? If not, did you use a different Amazon account than the one you used to purchase your apps?
If both of the above are not true, I would suggest that you uninstall your current Amazon Store app, reboot your phone, install the latest Amazon Store app, and login with the account you used to purchase your apps assuming your account is still active. You need to have Internet connection to do it. Not sure if you're back to the states but you can give it a try or try it when you's back.

Apps can't be disabled on LG v30

Why some apps can't be disabled on V30? Any workarounds? Thanks.

Thanks. The LG package disabler is removed from play store. The first method is removal of apps from current user (kinda like disable). Tried to use pm disable command, that didn't work. I guess the disable command requires root.

It was removed, but added back a couple of weeks ago under different dev name. It's been removed AGAIN?
I just checked and I see it in Google Play store.

Transaction keeps getting declined in Play Store when I go to buy it. Totally weird.

Push notifications broken for some apps

Back when I was still using the Nexus 6P and it got the oreo update, I've noticed the notifications were broken for a lot of apps. After some research I've found out that restoring app backups via TB breaks notifications. However, there were still issues with some apps, and also the app update notifications from the play store were not working.
Before rooting my LG V30 everything was working fine, but now it's the same thing as before. Play store doesn't give update notifications, and also notifications for some crucial apps like XDA, Steam and Yahoo Mail aren't working. I'm not sure why this is happening, but I suspect it's titanium backup again (even though I didn't use it to restore any apps).
I'm currently on boombox rom, and aforementioned apps are set as an exclusion in the power saver.
Is anyone else experiencing the same thing?
I have/had (currently trying out a Note8) a US998 V30, and on the original stock Nougat software, I NEVER got Play Store updates, and I occasionally wouldn't get updates for other apps. I did restore using TiB, and sometimes I found that clearing the app data and signing in again (if necessary) would help. Disable/enable notifications in the app, etc would work sometimes too.
Regarding the play store updates... it was the weirdest thing. It would say "all your apps are up to date" but show 60+ app updates below it. I cleared play store data, play services data, signed out/in again, etc... and it wasn't until I installed the Oreo update that it was fixed. That, coupled with very poor battery life made me start looking for greener pastures, which is why I'm currently using a Note8. Unfortunately, between the time of ordering a Note8 and receiving it... I put on the Oreo update, which fixed all of my gripes on the V30, so I've got 2 phones that work well, and I'm still unsure of which I want to keep. I know... #firstworldproblems

Well my play store doesn't say no updates when I open it, there's just no notification when there's an update. It has nothing to do with LG V30, like I said the same thing happened with the Nexus 6P.
Definitely don't get push notification now that I'm rooted. It's not all apps and some I will get then notification if I open the app.
It's a really annoying problem which hope can be solved.
Notification worked fine for me on Oreo before rooting.
Phone is a H933, flashed to 998 and rooted. I do have xposed installed also.

It's really a weird thing, and what's even more weird is that not everyone is experiencing it.
I just opened the playstore and going in my apps list said there's 17 app updates, while I never got a notification for them.

You're confusing Play Store updates with app push updates.
It's not just rooted phones. So don't think that.
One of my V30+ is still not rooted and neither is my wife's genuine open market LG US998 V30, and neither of those get "notifications" of Play Store updates for my apps.
I've noticed if I reboot the phones and put them on a charger, THEN the phones will update. Or I can manually say update.
But I get push updates for emails, app notifications.

I don't get a notification for the updates of the apps installed through play store, and also don't get push notifications from certain apps, if that makes it more clear.
However, it worked perfectly before I unlocked and rooted.
So the issue with notifications occured after rooting, or it has to do with specific firmware version, or magisk/titanium backup/something else is causing it, who knows.

That seems to be problem with Play Store updates, and I have that problem on two non-rooted V30/V30+ phones in my house. So it's an Oreo issue or an US998 issue, but not a "root" issue.

Well I didn't restore any apps with titanium backup. I did however restore my apps with LG's backup and restore (which worked shockingly well)
I was on Oreo H933. Everything worked fine, play store update notifications (which I'm less concerned about) and all app notifications.
Also it's not all apps that have the problem. Gmail notifications work fine. Pushbullet does not, nor does kijiji. Pushbullet's notifications will show up when you open the app. Kijiji will never show notification.
It almost seems like the notification settings in the system are set to ignore them. Or that the apps are in sort of a deep sleep, in the case of pushbullet.
Flashed to US998 and rooted. Restored apps. Now of course I have root/magisk and xposed installed so it has to be one of those things. When I get a chance I might try and disable xposed and root/magisk.
It could also be the cross flash of US988 on a H933 but that's harder to test.
I didn't see it mentioned but is it possible to go back to H933 after rooting?
EDIT: OK, so I disabled adaway and minminguard, uninstalled and then reinstalled pushbullet and notifications are now working for pushbullet. I get the feeling its to do with restoring apps but I'll keep playing.
Worked on kijiji.
Uninstalled and reinstalled kijiji (didn't change anything else. adaway and minminguard are installed still) and notifications work now.
These apps where restored from an LG backup of my H933 on Oreo on my rooted now US998.

AT&T Visual Voicemail for Non Carrier S9+?

Hi, I have a non carrier SM-G965U1 that I have put on AT&T and, none of the AT&T visual voicemail apps on the Play Store or APK mirror have worked. I am wondering if anybody else has got it to work on the non carrier device or, if anyone that has the AT&T variant could extract the factory visual voicemail app as an APK?

I just got mine to work. Got to APK mirror and download the app. Put the app on your phone and install it from the APK.
Which version of the app did you use?
4.2.0.0028
Thanks, I got it installed but during setup it tried to send a text to att and that failed so, it had me call my voicemail to configure visual voicemail. When I did that, I want able to find any prompt to do so. What was you experience for setup?
It gave me an error at first. Then I exited the app, opened it again and it worked.

Update: it works ****ty. App works but it doesnt refresh right away and I get a text message when I get a voicemail.... ATT is starting to piss me off.
Yeah I guess this is the price you pay for having a non carrier device. It's bloat free and branding free but, visual voicemail also goes away.
