So if you haven't heard, RCS is supposed to produce a iMessage like experience for text messaging in android. some features are:
-Send large sized files
-In app live notifications like (someone is typing)
Just to name a few. it seems like this feature is a little bit of a mess since it requires carrier support, OEM support and app support (not so sure about this one). I heard that the last Galaxy s9 update in July enabled support for this. Either way, question is simple.
1. When do people think this will reach the masses?
2. People who have used this feature/are using this, what are your thoughts about this?
I'm excited for this but it really seems like a faraway dream at this point. with that let's talk about this

RCS works if both parties have it enabled. It's worked since day 1 for me if using Android Messages.
stock client doesn't seem to have RCS support.

If the send button is just an arrow, it's RCS if there is an SMS under the arrow, then it's SMS.

it'll work cross carrier as long as both parties have RCS enabled clients on a network with RCS support.

thanks for the info. but still curious about this RCS was said to be given in a update that came after phone launch, so you've taken all the s9 updates this far?
Is this RCS ??
Got it on Telstra with Samsung Galaxy S7
But don't know what this function is
Only got voicemail as mp3 file so don't need to dial into the voicemail box

Yes, it's been working fine for me on every custom rom so far.
A. Make sure your SIM Card is in the device when you d/l the application.
B. Call T-Mobile and have them manually add Visual Voicemail to your account. If it is already added to the account, have them refresh its activation.
Let me know how this works out for you.

Just curious as to why you guys would use T-Mobile VVM or other third party VVM software when there is Google Voice? Different features?

I've never made a comparison. I use it simply because it was preloaded on my first smartphone and it's never given me the problems some people seem to complain about, so I've never felt compelled to switch. I may migrate to Google Voice in the near future just to try it out, since I've migrated pretty much my entire life to Google anyway. Might as well throw them my voicemail, too.

Hi,
I wll be purchasing a new phone soon and am looking for a phone that has a great chance to be rooted/able and compatable with the Verizon network.
Can an unlocked Note 8 (SM-N950U1) be used on Verizon's network?
Thanks for your input?
Yes it can. I'm using the unlocked version on the Verizon network right now.

+1, no issues.
But, no HD calling or wi-fi calling?
I am using one as well. But none of the features/services are working. I can't get any VZW apps, like visual Vmail. I don't even get vmail notifications. No HD voice or video. No NFL app live video. Nothing HAS works except voice & data.
I have been on with VZW everyday. They can't figure the s**t out. They blame Sammy and Sammy blames them. Very frustrating!!!!
Yes I got the unlocked one and I have hd calling and the phone provisioned I'm on Verizon
I clicked on self provision and restarted phone everything works

No and yes, in that order.
You'll have the model with the Snapdragon SoC and that has a locked bootloader. You might one day get root (if you're lucky) but you'll probably never get TWRP compatibility or any custom ROMs.
But on the bright side, it will work on the Verizon network, so that's nice.

It can be found by searching in Shortcut Master (light) app. I can still find it, but cannot run as from BL version 3 (not sure if it was that one) many shortcuts no longer work (including all IMS-related shortcuts).
I have N950U1 on FW version N950U1UEU5CRJ2.

doesn't work on Oreo nougat only
- WiFi Calling
- HD Calling
- Video Calling
- VoLTE
I figure since people have had the phone for a few days now, maybe there is a definitive answer to be had. I contacted Verizon and they said that WiFi calling and HD calling will not work and that an unlocked phone will remove these features from my account. But, Verizon did say that VoLTE and Video calling will work. I contacted Samsung support and they said that all 4 features will work but that I would need to contact Verizon to enable the features on their end. Seems like a runaround.
Is there anyone with the unlocked variant and Verizon that can confirm what does and doesn't work? Thanks!
I do not have any of those working. I will try calling Verizon. I really want VoLTE/HD calling to work.

Yes it works. I had called someone in Verizon and he went through line by line, updated something called mpas or empass,and then I had to restart my phone to get it active. Finally worked after talking to 3 different people. Ask to speak to a level 2 tech if the first guy doesn't get it
Thanks, MACHEK. Which of the features are you referring to? All of them? Or, specific ones? Thanks.

Yeah I had my phone on airplane mode just to check and only had Wi-Fi. Received texts, calls etc no problem. HD calling works too. I tried to reach out to my contact at Verizon for a real good description of what he checked but he hasn't replied yet. It took him a good 15 minutes but eventually he got it. He said he went line by line to double check each setting.
Thanks again, MACHEK. If your contact gets back to you can you please reply here with the info so I and others know what to ask for when calling Verizon to get these features working on our unlocked phones?
Mr. Toad - Since you're calling tomorrow, if you get any specifics can you please post it as well?

What's up everybody? I don't usually post news topics but I feel like this was worth a change. Now I know it's been floating around that are AT&T branded Note 9's are getting the July security update finally. With that update came night mode within our cameras, also a QR scanner tile in the pull down menu.
I don't really know how many of you if any use the Android messages app or would like to use Google's own default text messaging app instead of Samsung's. But I'm just putting the information out there that we finally have chat features in that app now. So I'm assuming AT&T must have also pushed out the RCS universal profile to our phones with that July security update as well. I'm hoping that this post will help someone out because I know personally I've been waiting a very long time to be able to move away from Samsung's text messaging app.
Google is rolling it out to everyone. It is still not available for me after the update.

Thanks for the heads up. Have been checking for the update for days and reading XDA like crazy since I got my note9 512 last week. Can't wait to see what this night mode does.

I may have spoken too soon. I had it all up and going but not long, for maybe 30 min or so and then it just vanished so maybe it's a sign it may be coming very soon

My wife doesn't know hack from smack and it's been enabled on her device for well over a month now. Verizon, although a Pixel 3. I did the hack and apkmirror official update and it was available. I have the Pixel 4 but I'm also on DSDS with Fi so there was another obstacle. I do remember that I had to "accept" some kind of do you want in kind of thing for her but it works with no mods or offline updates.
