Phone: Automatic Call Screening not activating

[fillwithjoy1]

Overview

So automatic call screening is available on the phone and does activate through Wi-Fi, however when it comes to actually testing the feature, it doesn't work at all.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the GoogleDialerMod
2. Turn on literally every switch for call_screen
3. Get the call screening enabled
4. Call yourself with a private number
5. And then... it doesn't work

Expected Behavior

Automatic call screening taking the phone call

Actual Behavior

It just rings me instead

Other Notes

If I force stop the dialer app and re-open it, Call Screening doesn't stick and I need to stop the app again for it to run through it once more. And everytime I do open the Automatic Call Screening section it shows 'Activating Call Screen (Requires WiFi)' and then disappears once activated.

I think that it's working but it's very difficult to test if it's actually working
Edit: Nope it's not working

I confirm automatic call screening only working if the call screen is enabled in English and the caller is English (based on the international prefix number, I guess).
Currently don't know if it can be enabled for other languages, because probably the AI is trained only for English. Not tried yet by the way.

All the other call screening features, except the automatic one, should work.

Does it only work if it's a new number?

Update: Got a ring from a new number and no the call screening hasn't been activated. Maybe I can try something with logcat if that'll work?

Nothing happens when I enable call recording or call screening. I'm on Google Dialer v96 and it is installed to system.

I also tried Pixelify and that worked for me once, but then it broke afterwards. Tried this on a fresh new install of PixelOS Android 13 custom ROM on my Poco F1. I tested this first, before trying Pixelify (which again, allowed Call Screen to work once and then stopped working).

Are you saying both automatic and manual call screening aren't working? Because from where I live automatic doesn't work but manual does so maybe that could be a location thing

I'm saying that I don't get the call screen setting at all. I can't even trigger it manually, because it just isn't there.

The whole point of this mod is to enable this regardless of what your location is.

That's true, but at the end of the day it's really just trying to force the app to enable flags. If google double checks the geolocation of the feature, then I'm unsure if there's anything that can really be done

This past month, I've bypassed Microsoft Teams and Company Portal from detecting root on my device, by using a combination of Magisk modules and LSPosed modules and various other tricks. Intune policies are quite hard to bypass and most MSP companies I've worked at all use InTune as the MDM to control users' devices. So the fact that this can be bypassed is already an achivement.

On top of that, I've also spoofed location for various apps, which also detects root and detects whether you have mock location enabled. These are apps such as big petrol brands like BP and Caltex, as well as banking apps.

So when someone says XYZ doesn't work, I call BS on it. This week alone on XDA forum, I've seen plenty of comments from various people about how they can't get the unlimited Google Photos mod to work. And yet, there are plenty of custom ROMs (like PixelOS) that unlocks unlimited Google Photos right in the ROM itself and I'm using it right now.

Pixelify at least changes the Google Dialer menu slightly, even when it's not fully working. But this mod just doesn't change anything at all. So pretty sure the problem aint related to Google checking your location, especially if no data is available (i.e Wifi and mobile data off).

actually you probably are correct. maybe it could be only activating call screening on certain locations from certain number prefixes, but afaik this activates hidden flags in each google apps

Okay, IDK what to do. Pixelify module hasn't done much to help it, and I remember getting the Google app to show search labs by using a VPN (and after some restarts/clear datas) to get it working. I don't know how Google obtains its geolocation but it is one of the main things to be found
