Company name on incoming calls - Xiaomi Mi 4C

Hi.
In my previous phone (nexus with stock lollipop) I used to see the company name and logo for incoming calls from numbers which were not in my contact list. I thought that was pretty cool, however I think this is not included in Miui. Do you know if there is a way to enable this using some secret setting or installing an additional apk?
Thanks!

Do you mean this setting? It's in call settings, which is located in system apps or from your dialer.
I never enabled it so I don't know how well it works.

Yes, similar to that although this one is provided by Xiaomi and I don't think this works well outside China.

Google voice with lycamobile?

Is it possible to get google voice working with any other services besides the ones they have listed? I want to set it up with my lycamobile number. So is there a way to do this or is it not allowed unless they officially support it? I Google searched and all I could find was how to transfer your Google voice number but nothing about getting it working with other companies. Thanks

So is this possible or does Google voice only work on officially supported networks?

When I tried setting up google voice and texting and calling on my computer it said choose your carrier from a drop down list. The list only had certain big ones. Lycamobile wasn't on there but it supposedly runs on tmobiles network so do I just choose tmobil?

I never had to select a carrier but I set mine up a few years ago. Maybe things have changed. If your provider runs on T-Mobile network I would choose it

OK I'll try again and see. Last time I tried was a about 2 weeks ago so I don't remember exactly what the process was.

It didn't work. It says mmi something then error or something like that when I put in the activation code. It says prepaid T-Mobile plans not supported and my plan is prepaid so that might be the issue.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
I don't understand what activation you are having to do. When I set mine up, I simply put in the number I wanted to verify from, what number would be used to forward to and that was it

They must've changed it then. Or maybe it detected yours was already supported. I wanted to set up the voice mail feature but it said. Your carrier may not be supported. Set up from PC or something along those lines and have me a link.

Se situation
Abdel, I appear to be in the same situation as you. I am able to receive calls/texts using my Google Voice number, but I wasn't able to make calls using the number because Lycamobile isn't on the drop-down list on Google's "activate Google Voice on this phone" page. BUT then I just changed the setting in GV to "Making calls: Use Google Voice to make all calls" and it works perfectly, showing my GV number on phones I call and ringing my phone when people call my GV number. It even seems voicemails are handled by GV and not Lyca.

Awesome thanks. I'll try that. So after setting it to make all calls you don't need to do anything from the computer? And does it let you text people with it too?

Correct, nothing else onthe computer. I'm using the GV app for all my text messages, not the normal Android texting app (soon to become Hangouts, methinks).
If this is working for you, hit the thanks button. I don't know much compared to some people here, so I'll take any boost to my thanks meter I can get.

I don't see the option for make all calls with Google voice. There's two about international calls and then one saying don't make any calls with Google voice. The international one says ask to make international cars and the other says make international call with g voice

So I was able to get Google voice working by using groove IP lite. It uses my Google voice number. It doesn't even need the voice app installed. In just going to have that set as a sort of personal home phone. What sucks Is in may apparently Google won't allow those apps anymorw

[Q] Hangouts Dual chip?

Anyone got or is there some way to configure the Hangouts to decide which chip to use in SMS?
I want to know it too
Sent from my Moto G using Tapatalk
I think you can't do it. Since hangouts isn't open source and Android API doesn't support dualsim by default. In a next version (kitkat) maybe we can select which sim will send SMS, due to improvements on SMS management api,
Sent from my XT1033 using Tapatalk
Just to let you guys know that by default the hangouts choose the first chip to send SMS. It can help a little if you just send SMS using one carrier.

I've not had to do it for years but can you not turn off the part that sneds your number out when you call someone? My father in laws still comes up as private number when he calls me.

Actually operator can allow it and different region have different process. In India they giving facilities to post paid subscriber with monthly charge. But still you needs to clear formalities including police clearance.

Caller ID is assigned at the operator site (switching site), not at the user side, so you cannot and never can change of spoof caller ID.
However you can hide it as unknown caller. You can use my app Advanced Call Settings to activate this feature. Of course you should register this service with your provider first.
Open this app, select 'Line ID' tab, select CLIR, tap Interrogate to check if the service is available for you. Tap Invoke to see the instruction how to use it.

The name does say, "advanced". Here you can find many advanced settings that doesn't exist in the phone's settings menu.

That's I know but when you suggest your application to activate hide caller id instead of stock setting that's why just asked if it have anything different.

That's not entirely true. I'm not going to post any details here, because I seriously question the legality of it, so you'll have to take my word for it (or don't; makes no difference to me)...But there absolutely do exist apps that will change your outgoing caller ID to whatever you want. You won't find them on any app store, and I'd be surprised if you find them from searching Google, but they are out there.
My understanding of the technical details of how exactly they work is fuzzy, at best, but I've tested more than one method with a couple of friends, and sure enough, I was able to call them and their phone showed an incoming call from 911, their own number, and whatever else I set it to via these methods.
Again, I have no intention of providing any further details or any 'proof', but if you're really interested in such a thing, and know where and how to look, eventually you'll find it, as I did.

You can use third party services to spoof number, I on Cydia I remember app/tweak that did it was not a free service.

Native SMS & Call Blocking

Hi! Is there any plans for Google adding up this feature on Android L? This I actually found to be useful due to annoying spam SMS and marketing calls I have been receiving.
I know there's a 3rd party app but they are causing battery drain and isn't reliable. I've used this feature on my iPhone 5S through IOS 7 though and would like to see it implemented on Android. ✌?

We don't know anything Google plans in advance unless they announce it officially. If battery drain is your concern, perhaps custom Roms are your future

Advanced messaging working?

Title says it all. I have tried to use it with my brothers note 5 but it doesn't seem to work. WiFi calling and voLTE enabled on both phones.
Both phones have to have advanced messaging. It works between my and my wife with our note 5's
anyone else been trying to see if this works or not...
Lol still doesn't work between my brother and i. Both with note 5s. May be it's still "rolling" out to places, ie towers not updated yet
You have to go into contacts and open each contact that has the capability and the video calling and advanced messaging will flip to green. At least that has been my experience to get it to work for my contacts that have the option.
