AT&T blocking Hangouts video over cellular

http://phandroid.com/2013/05/16/att-blocking-google-hangouts/
How do you guys even bother with such a crappy cell phone provider? Blocking boot-loaders, and blocking google hangout now? What the hell?
I am with Telus in Canada and they allow eveything.

well, they dont really have a choice, we might have unlocked bootloader and our carriers dont block much but they do own our ass a full year longer than in the US

GTalkEnabler , it's in the market and it allows gtalk and hangout video chating over 3g/4g
retested it with the new Hangouts
also I thought that was Google's doing, didn't know carriers can control such features within someone else's app o.o

Nope, it was AT&T's doing. Just like they did with the Iphone's facetime. If they can do it to Apple, they can definitely do it to Google...

It is true, Canadian providers strangle us for 3 years instead of 2

it is, but by ATTs request. Just like they requested wallet not to be accessible for ATT users, just like they asked samsung to block the dropbox promo, they ask and others do

Sh$$ att is getting worse and worse. I think I am going to sell my phones.

I still don't know why Google complies with these "requests", they should just tell the carriers to pack sand and release the apps (or features) anyways.

I literally just did a hangout on the way home yesterday over mobile data. Is this an updated version of Google+? Maybe I won't update.
Nevermind- just followed the links and saw that this is the *new* hangout app which is going to replace Talk apparently. What I'm not clear about is whether this replaces the Talk apk or the Google+ current apk?
Did some more reading. So this is in fact a Talk replacement. From the Play Store:
First, title is Hangouts (replaced Talk)
and then
NOTE: If you aren't yet able to install Hangouts on your phone or tablet, or the Play Store "Open" button takes you to the old Talk app, hang tight, we are rolling out Hangouts to everyone over the course of several days. Rest assured Hangouts will be available soon for all Android 2.3+ devices, tablets included!
So they will push this out to all. Not really a big deal since you couldn't video with talk right now anyway. But from an integration perspective it sucks. I'm wondering why AT&T would block this and still allow the google+ app to do hangouts over their network. They must assume that many more would use this over the Google+ app.
It also notes that there will be no "invisible" mode. Kinda stupid to take that away. I use it all the time. I hope they don't force the updates.

ATT is the client here...i dont agree with their policies but it is in their full right to make those demands. Imagine if you have kids, and you dont want your kids to go on X and Y sites, well you can ask the provider to block those websites. The kids might not agree with their parents but the fact is, it is their rights. And before the trolls come in and start saying that this and that doesnt hold up in my story, please, shhhhush, it's an analogy of principale and not a fact.

Does anyone know how to force the Hangouts update? I still have Talk and I can't figure out how to update to Hangouts. I can't from play via browser or the play app.
I found a APK online and when I try to install, it says "did not update" or something. I checked "install from other sources", but it didn't help.
anyone have any idea how to force the update without root.

I could see that argument maybe if you are talking about subsidized phones which (again arguably) are leased from the carrier, but the same restrictions apply if you have bought your phone outright.
In this instance (or in the case of Wallet) Google is a 3rd party software developer, to try for a similar analogy it's if my kids teacher told the grocery store not to sell me certain foods because they don't want my kid eating them.

If you are rooted just downnload Titanium Backup and Uninstall the Talk App, then download Hangouts from Play Store, that's what I did last night, if you are not rooted then I still don't know how to do it.

I tried exactly that, even rebooted after uninstalling Talk but before installing hangouts but I was still not able to start a video chat over cellular.

yes, but an outright phone is still "renting" service from ATT regardless. Its like when you buy or rent a modem from an internet company, or a car, or anything else for that matter, if the provider said no, then you wont get your candy. in any case, we have already determined that ATT are aholes, they block so much good stuff for their clients, i'm speaking about tethering, facetime and other, i dont know why US carriers are like that but here in canada, we dont have all those restrictions, and we are just north of you, we technically can share line and service...

You can force the update by installing through the Play Store on a browser instead of the Play Store app.

From your Web browser one you select install it will list all your devices even if it says you have it installed it should still work... Just make sure you do it from the desktop version the mobile one won't work I believe.

Recently Google put a notice in my phone that they were discontinuing Google Latitude and if I wanted to continue using similar location service I would need to go to Google+
I don't like being funneled into places I have no interest in going.
What other service (besides Google Reader) will they suddenly pull the rug out from their users?
I don't like Microsoft because of their monopolistic intent nor Apple for similar reasons.
That leaves Linux or Firefox and when there will be a decent phone sporting either os I will jump on it

They killed Latitude? *victory dance*
It ate battery, it kept track of you...

Yeah,
they decided to stop supporting it but only to get you to use Google+ and also to get you to persuade all the friends you have on your latitude list to also join Google+.
Yes, there are other share location applications but it is a hassle to start all over again after "do no evil" Google pulls the rug from under you.
What other services will Google discontinue in order to get you to move where they want you to?

I get what you mean. I don't really want to be forced to use services either. I know I don't have any interest, at least for now, to use Google+

Where are Google accounts stored in 7.0?

Seems like Google has changed how accounts are stored on the phone in 7.0. Backing up "Accounts" in Titanium Backup, which backs up accounts.db, no longer works. Seems that accounts.db no longer exists.

That will never completely happen. Open source is seen as a security threat to many companies. BB is dieing off and will soon be a software only company. Apple will always have a place due to their security as well as most people prefer something that just works. I cant say I blame them as I have thought about it myself and you would be amazed at how many Android devs use an Iphone as their daily device.

That depends on what you do with your device. I was just like you about 10 years ago. Always flashing and changing things up. Now I set my device and leave it. I just want it to work and have more important things to do then be messing with a phone. Like living life and see what is really going on in the world.

All it takes is taking a look around and realizing that life is passing you by. Or you could look at it as the push of smartphones is to keep people preoccupied so they don't see what is happening around them. Kinda like the Patriot act that was voted In because people were scared only to later realize that they signed their privacy away lol.

File location
I stumbled across this thread during my search, but while I found the answer somewhere else maybe it could help the next lost soul on it's search for revelation:
On Android 7, the accounts.db are now located on
/data/system_de/0/accounts_de.db And
/data/system_ce/0/accounts_ce.db
You'll need to copy both of the files to your new device, it worked for the most accounts. The only account I had to reconfigure was my email exchange

A question from a ex Samsung User

Hey guys,
now its the time i finaly switch away from samsung to Oneplus for diffrent reasons. I except my new Oneplus 7t Pro next week.
So i used ''Disconnect Pro'' from Sasmung all the time for Adblocking/Tracking blocking in Internet and all system Apps. I guess this will no longer work on the Oneplus because of Knox. So im asking myslef, wich alternatives are out there for Oneplus ? Is Adhell an alternative or is there a smiliar free/pay app like DisconnectPro for Oneplus ? Im searching for an App, that not just block things in Internetbrwoser. In best case, i find something like DisconnectPro for system wide blocking. If there is nothing out, i would use my PerfectPrivacy VPN..not the best soulution, but better than nothing.
Beside of this..i cant wait till my new Device arrives next week :victory:

Blokada will be your friend. It is great

Adguard?
I use paid version and it performs ok.

The one in the play market is for browser only but if you go to adguard.com there's the app I am talking about. It's system wide.

Well you can root the OP7t so if you plan on doing that then just get AdAway.

My suggestion is to forgo all of this stuff and just enable the "private DNS" setting to Adguard's DNS. It takes like 10 seconds, you don't have to install anything, and it gives you system wide adblocking without root... And it doesn't affect any previous DNS settings you may have set up with your phone and home modem/router. I don't know why this isn't talked about more.
Just go to "Settings/WiFi & Internet/Private DNS", and type out the DNS as I have here in the screenshot. No rebooting required.

Know what you mean but guess what ? In the Enddays of my Samsungtime here and now, i dont use AoD or the wohle notification system. I just set up that my apps send me a classic ping ton when a message arrives. So this saves in case of Samsung a few % Battery over the Day. Not too much, but a bit. With this, i dont just need a notification LED. But guess that is something, that everone must see for himself, if this way is good and right to you. For me, it is. Was a big AoD Fan at the beginning, was just a cool feature, but over the time, i see no benefits for me.

Question Is there a package disabler that works for the S22 Ultra?

Like the title says, is there a PD out there that works on the s22? I need to debloat this phone and the latest version of Package disabler pro doesn't seem to work on the S22. It just keeps telling you to keep clicking until it fails and has you download the knox check which then makes you keep clicking forever.

Try this...

Yeah that's what I've have (3 device cloud copy), it doesn't work on the S22 ultra, at least it didn't for me. It works on my note 9, the older a8 tablet running 11 and the galaxy s8 that i traded in, but all it does on the s22u is keep telling me click and then download and install the knox apk then go back in and keep clicking forever.
It's a knox issue, and i think the guy needs to update something in it.

Never had to use it, sorry.
Part of my massive feedback to Samsung has been for a native package disable on their phones. Not happy with Samsung... they've been disappointing lately.

Use adb app control. It's a PC app but it's free and amazing. You'll never have to waste money on that fleecing app package disabled ever again.

He fixed package disabler pro. It works now

Fixed for now. I've heard the issues on that app for years and people having to pay for it multiple times or releasing a new app for new phones. Shady at best.

yup, the guy wants you to pay for it every year, but at least he had it fixed within hours.
he also said if it shows up in the play store (google removes it a lot) and you buy it there you're basically screwed for support cause he'll make you rebuy it off his website no matter how long you've owned it.
but it works and you dont have to be a device admin, and once you get it working it stays working.
Not advocating for him, just saying the few things that can be compliments for how he operates

Yeah I appreciate he does support his app. He's been around for a long time and that does say something. At least we have options and we can be happy with what we choose to use. The freedom of android

Anybody try App Freezer yet? Just got my phone and looking to set it up. App Freezer has worked flawlessly on my Note 10+ since day 1.

I haven't tried it or heard of it but I like looking at apps recommended by other users so I'll check it out.

I took the plunge with App Freezer. Even with ADB side loading, install was quick. If you're gonna do it, it's best to do it first, because you have to delete all accounts to set it up. It's worked great on my Note 10+, my Tab S6, and now seems to be running fine on the S22 Ultra.

Installed it to today. Tried every which way to get it to work on my LG G7 but wouldnt recognize my phone.

I normally use adb without it so I followed this guide and then installed the app. Not sure it'll help but worth a shot.
Installing adb and fastboot on Windows PC

Another thumbs up for adb app control. I downloaded it earlier this morning and prefer it to paying for PDP or CCSWE.

Alliance Shield X works great for me from the Play Store. It's free!

Fixed for now. I've heard the issues on that app for years and people having to pay for it multiple times or releasing a new app for new phones. Shady at best.

Yeah it's shady. I paid for it twice and then figured out what he was doing. If he puts it on the store and it gets taken off the store and he gets it put back on you have to buy it again or it won't work when you download to use it. If you get a new phone then it won't work and you have to buy it again. If you go to sleep at night and wake up the next morning then it won't work and you have to buy it again lol. I have two package disabler apps in my apps list and both of them are obsolete.
