I'm seeing more and more about the RCS messaging (currently through Android Messages).
Right now it seems to only be available to Pixel owners.
I know that there are mods and magisk mods (google framework) that allow us to use other Google apps on the V20.
Anyone know of a way to use RCS messaging on the V20?

From what I've read RCS needs to be supported by your carrier. Model doesn't matter. You download Google messages and if it detects that your carrier has it implemented it then it will automatically show up in the settings for messages

Sounds great! Can't wait 'til Verizon adopts it.
Any more news on the potential of RCS on our V20s?

So what does this bring to the table that makes it so sought after.

Several things...and I'll probably miss some, so feel free to google search RCS.
Two major ones are:
1. It's more secure than SMS.
2. You can include more characters, attachments, etc., than SMS.
A minor reason is:
1. You see if the other person is still typing.
A personal reason is:
I have true unlimited data through an old grandfathered Verizon plan but limited SMS, so this allows me to use less SMS since RCS counts only toward Data.
So I enabled mine and got it working on my H918 on T-Mobile. However I'm unable to send any file that's bigger than 10MB (which was the stock max limit on T-Mobiles advanced messaging using the stock LG app. Anyone else have this issue? Everything else works (read receipts, typing indicator, and pictures I send under 10MB that send properly will show being sent through rich communication service).
[[[[[[[[[[[[[[[UPDATE]]]]]]]]]]]]]]
So apparently the only videos that won't send are ones that I've recorded with Hi-Fi audio enabled in the stock LG camera. Can any one else try this one verify. Not sure why that would matter unless it's more than just size restriction for the limit.
The work around to have it working on my phone stopped working...
Does anyone have RCS messaging through Android Messages working on their V20?
If so, how?
Thanks!

On rr7, los 17.1 and los 18 it's working. But make sure your service provider supports it.

Are there any out there? I loved the tmobile IM.apk back when I had the g1 but it doesn't work on froyo and the modified version uses data.
Is there anything else out there that uses SMS instead of data?
I know that AIM has a sms version of their protocol. you can sign on via sms, send ims and receive IMs all via sms. As for an application that does this specifically, I don't know of any, sorry >.<
+1. I want an SMS IM app as well.

yeah aim supports it, but there isnt an actual aim app that actually does it for nexus rite now i believe. the official aim app uses data like many other third party IM apps.
In a perfect world someone would port the one from the G1 to work with froyo. Oh why did Google do away with it?
So my wife has a Droid Turbo and I contacted VZW about an issue with her voicemail. In the discussion, the rep told me that there is a "Basic" tier of visual voicemail now that is free. He said it should be available on my phone, too.
However, all I've ever seen for the M8 is the $2.99 a month option, which is all I see in the Voice Mail app as well.
Is there any truth to what the rep told me, or was he smoking something?
Not as answer, but I think Google Voice is much more powerful
Edit: This chart says yes but doesn't say how to activate it.

Last time i tried to use Google Voice it stated that it didn't work with my service.
I would love to know how everyone is using Google voice mail services with VZW when i clearly get denied.
Maybe someone could clarify that?

Any luck figuring out basic visual voicemail on M8?
Hi There,
DId you ever find an answer to this question? I'm new to Android and just got an M8. I've been trying to figure out how to get a visual voicemail service set up ( I don't need transcription or lots of features- just the ability to see a list of messages and save some/delete some/play some). I also just read about the Verizon Basic Visual Voicemail and it seems perfect for me, but cannot see how to activate on the M8. When I click on the voicemail app, all I see is the 2.99 option ( and free trial). Were you able to figure if you can activate the basic VM on the M8, and, if so, can you please share how?
Thanks so much!

Thank you for your answer. Did you happen to find out if this is a result of the plan, or the phone? I've seen other people say it's possible, but with no explanation how. I still haven't set up voicemail. I see an option of for 2.99 VVM, a free trial for the 2.99 VVM, remind me later, or decline free trial. Did you run into these options as well? What explanation were you given by Verizon ( and how recently)? Thank you so much for responding.
I have the Galaxy S7, 930F international version (Brand new). All works well, except the Messages app splits received group messages into individual threads. I have tried other texting apps and, for one reason or another, concluded that (for me) the stock Messages app would be best for me, if only this one flaw was corrected. Read a lot of threads similar to this but many seemed to address it for USA version. I'd like to maybe update the app, but can't seem to find a way to manually update this particular app (I can manually update nearly all of my stock apps, but this one is not allowed). Anyone have (what seems like) an easy fix. Again, my phone is the 930F international. Country info on the phone references United Arab Emeriates, if that helps. Otherwise, the phone is great!
Have you tried textra?

Try update last release samsung :good:
Thank you. Yes, that's what I've been using, in lieu of the stock app. In fact, I have tried a multitude of replacement apps (you name it, I've tried it). But for one reason or another, they all fall short in something. Textra is not very good on voice-to-text and if I have to send a text while driving, or a long text while golfing, it's something I can't easily do with Textra. But the stock app is excellent on voice-to-text. Also, the stock app uses fewer clicks to locate and attach pics & video. In fact, for my liking, the only thing the stock app misses on is the threading for received group messages. But that's a biggie. Nothing worse than watching a football or basketball game remotely and texting a group of friends, and while you can send out your text in a group text, everyone's replies keeps showing up in a separate individual threads. Their replies (intended for the group) are then mixed in with private text conversations you've previously had with that same person. Ughhh!

Not sure what you mean. By "last release of Samsung" do u mean the latest version of the stock app? I tried to update it and the phone would not recognize that app as being able to manually update. If you mean update to marshmallow, I already have version version 6.0.1

Go into messaging app, hit more (top right corner) then settings, then more settings, them multimedia messages and make sure group conversation is ticked on and I also have auto retrieved ticked on, all other features are turned off. That's what fixed it for me, mine was the same way as yours before I changed those settings, it was very annoying! All is well now!
I have been all through the settings, for the life of me I can not find a setting when sending a group text to actually send the message to the group, rather then sending everyone I selected in the group a single message. I downloaded a third party app but I like the stock all. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing?
Thanks in advance
Same problem here since December on international MHA-L29C636. Only workaround I have found is the Textra app. If you get an answer I would love to hear it.
Under advanced settings...

Hmmm.... I have the L29 ( US version ) and I don't see that option....
I appreciate the suggestion, but that option does not even appear in the advanced settings of the stock messaging app on this phone. The phone is an MHA-L29C636 running build 158.
Well, I have the US version...I never had any issues with group messaging....though I never paid any real attention to it. I just updated my phone to the new US build...

Even though you can download it, you can't load it unless you spoof the Huawei server on the response...
Process was simple. Was able to use the Huawei HiSuite app with a host file...

It MAY be connected to the complaints that Samsung was receiving after Samsung Messaging no longer allowed for contact specific ringtones....So they fixed that & broke something far more important But - Yeah kind of a major mistake.... ?

Why not just uninstall the update? I never update anything right away ever since Microsoft introduced the "let the users be the testers" philosophy.
Don't get mad at me for saying MS, but that is who I remember. Since then a lot of companies have gotten lazy in their testing departments, and saved tons-o' money to boot!
I can't test this as I don't/won't have the upgrade/problem, just a recommendation (if it's even possible to uninstall the update).
If it is not possible to uninstall the latest update, then that to me is also a major bug!
As a for instance, I installed S9+ Samsung "Themes" and found out that you have to buy everything! What a crock!! What's worse is that I am unable to uninstall Themes - - and THIS is wrong.
Another idea, other than taking away permissions is to use a photo locking/vault app.
Is Disabling it in adhell 3 enough ?
Sms aren't used here anyways so I don't miss it at all.
Are there any downsides of it ? I still have Android messenger from Google installed
maybe due to emergency feature auto sending out, but not triggering by users, properly a bug (or intended)
I just use google messaging app, safer. Still leave the app on for emergency feature with 3 clicks on power button though
