Sooo, just got my ultra from Verizon. I noticed that Google phone does not have all the features that you can get via the play store. A lot of things are missing, even the voicemail tab. I reinstalled from Google play, same deal. Went to apk mirror and got a can't install on this device error. Is this a Samsung thing, or a Verizon thing?
Is there a port for it? One of my fav things on my Pixel was the phone features.
So Google Play allows the Google Phone app with Caller ID. However, the On Hold and Call Screening features are exclusive to the Pixels and require a specific system framework to run. Don't feel too bad, as the Pixel 6 series have had these features randomly stop working due to maintenance and updates.

I'm coming from a pixel 6 pro. Had 3 pixels before it. Already missing quite a few pixel only features..
Can anyone with an unlocked version weigh in here? Does your Google phone app have the voicemail button and visual voicemail through it?

I have unlocked U1 version and there is no voicemail within the phone app, I use the Samsung visual voicemail app which integrates fine. It was this way on my N20U as well. I'm on an AT&T NVMO.

Here is the APK for the Verizon Visual Voicemail application for the SM-G965U1 and SM-G960U1.
This was automatically downloaded on my unlocked S9+ by the Galaxy App store. This application does not show up in the search results in the Galaxy app store. It downloaded to my device overnight and I could not find a way to manually trigger the install. This was discovered by @Averix in this post: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=75907191&postcount=11
My wife's S9 was not automatically downloading it for some reason. So I extracted the APK and was able to successfully install it on her S9.
Update: This does not work on an unlocked S7 and probably won't on other older devices.

Will the voicemail be transcribed in this voicemail app. I just got an unlocked s9, always had iPhones in the past. In the iPhone Visual Voicemail, the Voicemails were transcribed so you could read them. Also is this an actual Verizon APK or a Samsung APK?
Anyone on Verizon and unlocked S9+ have wifi calling and video calling?

I only have the basic visual voicemail from Verizon. I don't know if you pay for the premium version if it would transcribe.
It doesn't say it's made by Samsung or Verizon, but it looks like the Verizon app that was on my Verizon branded S7.

This may be more detailed than you guys need, but if you can find the app in GALAXY apps and use Lightflow, you're there. I don't know how the Voicemail works standalone, but I wanted the LED indicator and the sound of my choice. Voila ! This was all done on my Galaxy s9.
This app is available through GALAXY APPS, not Samsung Apps. I got it to work, without rooting, using Lightflow as follows:
Open Lightflow
Choose Notification Settings
Choose red "+" plus sign at the bottom right
Choose "From System event, battery, gps, etc.
From "Select system notifications to add", roll down to Voice Mail, check the box, choose "Add"
This will add Voicemail to your Lightflow notifications list, and then you have to pick your settings for it.
On Lightflow's Notification page, find dark blue "Voicemail" and open the "three dots" to the right, choose "settings"
The setting menu is a "slide to the right" type menu. I used "light" , enable light, choose a color, etc. I chose dark blue to match the icon.
So now, I have a dark blue "Voicemail" icon in my apps, and Lightflow makes it chime the sound I chose and lights up the LED at the top of the S9, in dark blue, and it blinks, so I know a voicemail is there. It also shows up on the notification panel.

That is correct. I just don't know if this version of the app will transcribe them if you pay for the service.
I have Verizon BASIC VISUAL VOICEMAIL, which is included in my plan and the Galaxy Visual Voicemail works just fine on my unlocked S9+. Check your Verizon plan, you may not have to pay extra. ( It's worth it to say that Verizon Basic Voicemail is NOT the same as Verizon Basic Visual Voicemail). Here's a link to the Verizon voicemail comparison chart.
https://www.verizonwireless.com/support/voice-mail-comparison/
I promised the link which is a description and which then leads you to the APK, if you're into that. I didn't do it that way, because the icon downloaded for me from Galaxy Apps when I clicked it. This apk came from the XDA website, here's a link to the post.
UPDATE: I'm not certain, but I think that the blue icon for Samsung Visual Voicemail may only be present in the most recent update pack. I have that because I just got my unlocked phone and ran updates immediately.

I can confirm this. Just unboxed my S9+ last night. No Visual Voicemail app from Samsung / Galaxy Apps. I performed the update just now, and the visual voicemail app was ready for download in the Galaxy Apps menu. Just finished testing it, and it works fine after auto-setting up. Just your basic visual voicemail, no transcribing of course.
Re: Verizon Visual Voice Mail.
Sorry but this app doesn't support Visual Voicemail for Unlocked Samsung S9+ on the Verizon Network. It merely gives you an indicator that you have new voicemail but have to still dial in to hear the message.
Poinmanipo, it DOES work on an unlocked s9+ using Verizon. I'm doing it, it's working.

Yeah it sounds like you are still using the default voicemail.... Not vvm
I downloaded the app from here. Ran the setup. Left a voicemail message. Did I forget anything?
If you don't have Basic VISUAL VOICEMAIL from Verizon, it WON'T work. Basic VVM from Verizon is free with your deal. Check and see that you have the right VM. If not, then get it, it's free.

Are you using a Prepaid Account? Or are you using Postpaid?
Thank you.
I'm not sure what difference it makes if its prepaid or postpaid. Different features on the plan? In any case, I'm using prepaid Verizon with an unlocked S9. But the automatic down load of the blue VVM apk comes from either a Samsung OS update or Android, not Verizon.
Correction: I have Verizon POSTpaid. Sorry.

Sorry, my Verizon plan is post paid. I don't know anything about the prepaid plan. I corrected my post.
This module was originally made by @OMJ and tested on the HTC U11 US Unlocked model (BS_US001) with T-Mobile Carrier. I recently acquired a HTC U12+ Dual Sim (HTC__622) and then converted it HTC U12+ Dual Sim (HTC__626). Tested it on both and Google Dialer w/ Visual Voicemail works with T-Mobile Carrier. I assume it would be the same result on the HTC U12+ US Unlocked (BS_US001). Once installed you can continue to receive updates to the Google Phone app via Google Play Store. Cheers :victory::victory: Be sure to give @OMJ a thanks if this helped you and if you want to be super homie leave a donation.
Requirements:
Unlocked Bootloader, Magisk 17.0+ and TWRP
You must have a compatible carrier that supports the Visual Voicemail feature
Make the Google Phone the default calling app
Enable all permissions to Google Phone
Clear the data of Google Play Store
Installation:
Flash in TWRP Recovery
General Info:
To Disable The Module, Open Magisk Manager --> Modules --> The Module --> Tap On The Check Box/The True Icon --> Reboot
To Enable The Module, Open Magisk Manager --> Modules --> The Module --> Tap On The Uncheck Box --> Reboot
To Uninstall The Module, Open Magisk Manager --> Modules --> The Module --> Tap On The Bin Icon --> Reboot
If the magisk module doesn't work for you, try the following but it is more trivial.
Make the latest Google phone app (apkmirror is your friend) a system app using this method
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/module-terminal-app-systemizer-ui-t3585851
Then modify the desired values to true (you could activate call screening with this but more than likely will not work) to the dialer_phenotype_flags.xml file, the directory is the following
/data/data/com.google.android.dialer/shared_prefs
That will give visual voicemail with transcribed voicemails. This is assuming both your carrier and google allow it. There is no way to force compatibility with visual voicemail but other features will work aside from call screening.

I just checked it out and this is what I found...
Google’s Call Screening feature only works on the Pixel 3 and Pixel 3 XL smartphones, but it will be available for the Pixel and Pixel XL, as well as the Pixel 2 and Pixel 2 XL in November. It’s unclear if Google plans to keep this as an exclusive Pixel phone feature, or if it will be baked into Android at a later date.
Everything else seems to work especially caller ID and spam blocking. It helps to negate the argument that Sense is too old when we can add apps like this and turn HTC phone completely off.
And I just checked the Playstore to show how Google phone shows on the U12+ and I already have another update.

They didn't lock them out, it is because Verizon did not make it's on software for the U11 and U12+ like they normally do. Verizon used to not even let us bring unlocked phones, we had to buy Verizon branded.
I haven't messed with it yet but I think it will be possible to get Google visual voicemail
The spam blocker feature is working
HTC will be ahead of the 5g game with superior carriers like Verizon. Since Verizon will be the first with 5g.

If any of you have read the recent headlines on XDA about how to enable RCS on the Google messages app, I recently did that as I'm on Cricket Wireless, (Unlocked Moto Z3 Play 64gb) which originally didn't support the chat features or RCS in the messages app, however after I followed the steps, it worked like a charm, however to my (pleasant) surprise, I looked in the Google dialer apps Settings today, and found the "Call Screening" option was now available... I thought it might be just a side effect of enabling RCS, so I had a few ppl call me, and to my surprise, Call Screening now FULLY works!
pretty cool
I don't see that option on mine ..
@bdizzle1686 please tell us how did you enable this feature ? Give us steps.

Actually, I didn't do any steps.. installed normal Google dialer from play store (beta version) , and it just works. Appeared in setting of phone app, chose voice, watched demo, and it works on every incoming call. Works on my new Moto G7 as well..
(Dropped and shattered the screen on my Z3 play for the THIRD TIME in 6 months)
The only thing that I've done that may have contributed to this working, is I've installed a few Google Pixel related apk's, (modded Pixel launcher, Pixel launcher Icons, all Pixel wallpaper ports, Pixel camera, Pixel Visual Core, Device Configuration - android.autoinstalls.config.google.nexus) etc.
As I stated before, this has now worked fully for me on both my Unlocked Moto Z³ Play, and my Unlocked Moto G7, both NOT rooted, NO magisk, NO unlocked bootloader, On cricket wireless as my carrier.. I'm thinking the Device Configuration apk (android.autoinstalls.config.google.nexus) is what may have helped in activating this on the Google Dialer BETA version..
Thanks.. ?
But this config APK didn't help in this pixel call screening...
Maybe it's somewhat restricted to US.

I remember with the Huawei Mate 20 Pro the option wasn't available but someone managed to extract and make a apk from another Huawei model which made the option work. The recordings use to store in the voice recorder app.
I wonder if someone could do the same for S10plus.

I really hate Samsung's phone app. what a big advancement it is to use Google phone app. Samsung phone app when you're on speaker phone the screen would shut off freaking annoying.
Hello All!
My Samsung phone was not receiving RCS on the google messages app, despite google confirming rollout in most of the world. I suspect that my cell provider Lucky Mobile might have something to do with it, as it is one of the few carriers in Canada that does not provide RCS services. In an effort to activate it on my phone, I found a trick that I believe has not been posted yet. I tested this out on an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S10 running android 10 One UI 2.5, an unrooted Samsung Galaxy A50 running Android 10 One UI 2, and an Unrooted Samsung Galaxy S10 Lite running Android 11 One UI 3. These are all Samsung devices, so it may not work on other phones, but I have no way of testing that. The steps I took are below
On the Google Play Store, install Carrier Services from Google
Still on the Play Store, Install Google Messages
Open Google Messages and set it as the default messaging app
In the Messages app, open settings and check to see if chat features are available, they were not for me, but it is a good idea to check
Keep the Messages app open in the background but switch back to the Play Store and uninstall Carrier Services
Re-open the Messages App, then exit and close it from the Recents menu, and then open it again
You should now get a pop-up saying that you can use chat features, if not, then it should be available in the chat features section in settings
That’s it! I’m not sure how useful this will be to others, considering that my issue is something most people wont have, but I thought that someone might be looking for a way of activating RCS on their phone, with similar results that I had until now. I would also appreciate if people with phones from different companies (e.g. Google, Xiaomi, OnePlus) could try it out to see if it only works with Samsung phones or other companies’ phones as well.
Edit: You can join the Messages Beta program if you want after the steps are complete, as it keeps RCS enabled. Not sure why but I am not complaining
(P.S. This is my first post on XDA so I'm not sure if this is best format to post this, or the right place to post this in)
