When I tried people couldn't hear me..

press the speaker spot on the dial pad and see it that works, if that doesnt see if the mute is not on. Also there is a list of routers that do not work well with this program, so if you have a wifi xoom then try a diff router signal

Wait so this will work on my wifi xoom? Just want to make sure

So what number does it call from? Do you have to go through a SIP or what?
Also, I wish bluetooth headsets worked with the XOOM. I hate speaker phone mode and I'm sure that's the only way this would work.

After trying several different alternatives this is the best so far. The quality is great on my side but there's some echo on the other side. I'll have to try it with some headphones to see if that makes a difference.
Thanks for sharing.

It should i did a couple of test calls using wifi and 3g and it worked great! I dont have a wifi model so i cant say for sure but the dev website says it will!

bluetooth headsets - Moto S9 works well

Interestingly (for me, at least), my Moto S9 BT headset actually works well with the Xoom. In fact, I had pretty much discarded it until I got the Xoom and tried it out. It skips/drops constantly with my Tmobile G2 and with a BT add-on for my ipods and it had the same problem with every Android phone I've tried it with, from the G1 to the MyTouch 3G. The S9 had already been replaced at least once if not twice to see if the skipping would go away but it did not. I'm saying I could not have the phone in my shirt pocket and phones on my ears without it constantly cutting out - really worthless until now.

works good and just so everyone knows the xooms mic is on the bottom of landscape orientation you have to talk near it to pick up your voice

[Q] blacklisting phone numbers?

In Az we get a lot of telemarket scam calls and i remember when i had my oneplus one when a call would come in there was an option to blacklist call so it would get rejected, is there a way to do this on nexus 6 . sorry if this has been asked already

Use a custom ROM as they have this blacklisting feature, or download a app from the Play Store that does something similar.

Check out Root Call Blocker on the Play Store. Does the trick for me.

I would love to know if this is possible on the stock rom. My Note 3 used to have this option.
If not available on stock is there any app on play store that works well in blocking unwanted calls?

The Root Call Blocker looks good, however, I do not want to root my phone in order to have an application work.
Is there another that actually works with our phone and Android Lollipop ?
I have installed 6 different Call Blockers off Google Play now, none of the 6 work !! Any ideas ?
Would be nice if Google could implement that into there next build.

Thanks for the referral SAW_JOK3R .. however, this is one I also tested. Yes, it does work, however, if I Blacklist/Block a number, I DO NOT want it to go straight to voicemail .. I want it to just disconnect/hangup the call.
The only program I have used in the past that does this successfully is BlackList Pro .. but, this app is not fully compatible with Lollipop just yet.

There are a few good apps to do this, but you refuse to root, so no sense in naming them. But just putting this here for others who come by and read this in the future, there ARE Lollipop-compatible blacklist apps.

Your opinion is just that. Please don't start any issues or drama.
The fact remains,for those of you searching and come across this thread, several good apps that require root do this very well. RCB Pro is what I use and works perfectly so far on stock 5.0.1

This call blocker doesn't require root and it seems to work well:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android/apps-games/app-calls-blocker-t3029688

https://support.google.com/nexus/answer/2811745?hl=en-CA
See "Block a call".
This doesn't not really block the call, just directs it straight to voicemail.

In Google Voice/Hangouts you can block numbers. You never get anything from that number once blocked.

I've been using aFirewall Call and SMS Blocker and it works great. Has the answer/hang up feature too

Update to G925VVRU4BOK7

I received this update today and, as promised, Wi-Fi calling and YouTube Live Video Broadcasting are both now available. I've tested both and they work on my S6 Edge.
The App Edge menu is also now included, and works as well.
UHQA audio enhancements are supposedly in there too, but I have no compatible equipment to test that.

Yeah, I saw that there was some new notification feature in Samsung's messaging app, but since I use Verizon's Message+ it slipped my mind to mention it.
And before I get grief about using Verizon's app, I would just add that it is kind of nice having my SMS messages sync'ed across my desktops, tablets and phone - and not that I have anything against the Samsung native app.

I actually liked the app too but just didn't trust Verizon
Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

I hear you, but I figure I've already sold my entire genome to Google and Verizon so it's too late to close that gate any longer.

Now they add the app edge. Too bad I've been using glove box for a while now.

I'd call Verizon on that one, mine activated just fine.

Make sure your wifi is off while trying to activate it. Mine said that at first, I cut wifi off and then it worked perfectly fine.
Sent from my SM-G925V using Tapatalk

Just noticed that, after this update, the "smart network switch" setting is gone.
Not sure if that means it is now always on, or if it is always off - but I know which ever way it is, it won't be able to be set the other way any more.
EDIT: Restarted my phone today, and the smart network switch is now visible in the WiFi advanced options list. I was probably wrong about it being gone in the first place, but I would swear it wasn't there when I wrote the original post.

The stock earbuds enable UHQA. I'm sure at this point in my life I have some level of hearing loss but I don't notice a difference with it enabled.

Right. I should have been more specific about not having any way to test the UHQA Bluetooth capabilities. On a related note, I'm thinking of trying out Samsung's noise-cancelling Level headphones. I kind of like the control interface, that allows for track previous/next selection and volume adjustment by swiping the ear-cup

I am just downloading it now. Thanks for the heads up.
With those features. I almost don't even care I don't have root.
Just wish there was better selection in the Samsung theme store for free.
I mean the selection we have on the forums here is awesome.
As far as the sound quality goes. Make sure you tune the frequencies using sound alive as well. It makes a big difference on a per user basis.

Foxfi is working without any problems. Battery life feels the same. Wifi calling working as intended.

Is anyone else noticing with this update and the previous one that there are times where the phone seemingly bogs down but then acts fine a few moments later? Feeling like I should do a factory reset, I know the phone can get wonky after updates and it's always recommended to do that, but want to get feedback first if I'm the only one experiencing this?

wtf!!!, this update completely erased everything from my phone, its as if I did a factory reset. Good thing I have most of the things backed up on the cloud....but still....the hassle....
I guess I was due for a factory reset -_-

ACR is the king in this arena. At least for stock devices. If you're running un-rooted, ACR is a fantastic option. I've been surprised by how well it's been working.

what settings are you using for ACR on the Note 8? I can't seem to get it to work.
Also, Boldbeast requires you to disable Knox on the Note 8, which is a deal breaker for many...it's one of the main selling points of the Note 8 and S8(+) phones.

This is how I have it set on my Note 8, mostly default. Works perfectly for me and I have it set to ask after each call if I want to keep the recording because I'll not always want to keep the file after. Being able to add notes to each recording is a nice perk, too. Hope this helps.

I own BoldBeast, but really can't stand their licence policy (one licence per SIM card), so I've been using (and purchased) ACR and it works just fine.

I "used" to use Call Recorder Pro but gave up on it because every other call answered would be blank and nobody could hear me or communicate.
Do you guys ever had that problem? I use my phone for business and can't afford any chances of glitches like that. Every call in and out has to be 100% successful.

I've tried every recording method (including root) and it
1) just default to record with microphone and thus just one side of the conversation
2) even to ive set it to record all calls , it have to be triggered manually ...
So have you actually got it to work with automatically recording and recording both sides ???

Boldbeast Call Recorder has just released the newest version of V9.9, now no longer need to disable Knox.
Please install V9.9 in your Galaxy Note8, after installation if it doesn't work please power off and power on the phone, then it works at once, without touching Knox, without root, recorded calls are crystal clear in two sides.

You can try total recall.. recorded both side.

Call Recording

Google acting like A-holes about call recording. If anyone finds anything that can give us this again in at least the same way the ACR did, please share here. I would like to use this thread to help us gather updates and any info regarding bringing call recording to our S10 devices. If you are like me, you understand what an important and useful tool call recording can be. It's protected me from fraud and abuse over the years and I hate to see it go.
I still have my un-rooted One Plus 6T that has call recording baked in but to swap SIM anytime I need to make important phone calls will be a real annoyance. If anyone here can help with any info or updates or methods please share. I appreciate the help! Thank you!

Interested by that too, call recording might be illegal in some country it doesn't mean everyone shouldn't be able to use it.

I'm interested too, after some research in my opinion best solution is change csc country to have native call recording enabled by default on original dialer.
Change csc isn't possible by software yet but booting after reset with a sim card from country where native call recorder is enable does the trick.

Can someone try this and let others know. Someone people have done this with Galaxy Note 9 which was upgraded to Android Pie and then could not use call recorder. They inserted Thai SIM as the only sim and then it prompted them to reset and reboot few times and it worked for them. I want to know if it works before I buy S10.
