Verizon RCS update today-- Carrier Services

Read on Reddit that Verizon is moving forward with this today. A few Verizon Pixel 3/3XL employees were discussing. RCS started working after a Carrier Services(November 30th build date) was pushed to their phones. Wanted to see if anyone received and if they could capture the APK for the rest of the community and to test on the Pixel and Pixel 2?

If you open the top right menu and go under advanced and look for "Chat Features" and you have it means you have the RCS chat update. The "Start Chat" bubble has always been there and that's what you select to start a new message etc and has nothing to do with the RCS chat update.

Here is a screenshot

Weird thing. My default app is Textra. If I go to the settings in the stock messenger, I see the chat options are grayed out. If I make the stock messenger my default I don't see the chat options anymore

Have the Unlocked Pixel 3 XL from Google on Verizon, chat isn't available yet. Anyway to push it?

I have the pixel 3xl unlocked from Google on Verizon and it did it by itself this morning

Verizon Pixel 3 XL here in PA, I haven't got it yet.

I have the unlocked P3XL on Verizon in Tennessee and I don't have the chat option yet.

Same, my default texting app is Pulse. Shows greyed out when Messages is not the default messaging app. Disappears when I change it to default.

Nothing here yet. Not like I'll be able to use it much anyway. Most of the people I talk to are on Verizon or T Mobile (without a Samsung phone), or have an iPhone.

i dont know why fi doesn't support it
and same with t mobile

unlocked , on verizon. with latest December update.. i dont have the chat feature option. using stock google messages.

Great, so all we need to use RCS is a Pixel 3, on Verizon, using the stock text app, and communicate with someone who also has a Pixel 3, with the stock text app, on Verizon.
Geez, just tell us to hop on one leg while reciting the alphabet backwards...

Still don't have RCS

Does this trickle down to MVNO's that use Verizon as well or is it just Verizon?

I was told by Verizon Pre Paid help last night it's not on Pre Paid yet... but I've also seen people on Straight Talk on Reddit claim it works so I just have to say IDK.

Yeah, I don't have it yet either. They're definitely taking their time getting it rolled out.

TMobile & MMS

Hi does anyone have a problem sending and receiving MMS on the international OP7 Pro in the default messaging app?

I haven't had any issues being on International for the past 5 days. But I'm also using Google Messages.
On T-Mobile

I actually have had issues with this. Not all the time, but it happened last night and a couple other times previously.
Using international version, Mint Mobile carrier (MVNO of Tmobile), on Google Messages.

Yeah very weird over wifi no problems. Sometimes I need to switch to Google messages and reboot phone to download them.

I'm not on international but have the TMobile variant and it sporadically will not send messages and I have to reattempt

Mine has been working well and the Chat feature is working too.
I have been switching back and forth from stock and google messages.

Tmobile converted to international.

No issues here! I have been on the international firmware for a few days now, just updated to 9.5.8 this morning, and haven't had any issues with the stock messaging app.

maybe thats why you still have the chat features. Mine is the international version and I dont have that feature at all.

Either using a different app or using ADB to push the rcs package from the T-Mobile firmware to the international firmware.

What I did was send a couple pics with the stock app, that made the chat feature show up in options.
Then I switched to the google messages app and the chat option was in there. Turned it on and sent a couple pics there.
The option disappears but the feature stayed.

I don't, unfortunately. I was hoping someone still using the T-Mobile firmware with root would copy it and post it or hope someone knew how to extract it from the factory image.

Using the TMO sim I have had zero issues with MMS or SMS but on my US Mobile sim I am able to send and receive SMS but my video message come in as a picture and a separate audio file ....anyone else have that issue ?

I can get back to TMo firmware and grab whatever.
I'll look around too, but if you find out what we need just message me and I'll grab it.

I don't remember exactly what it's called but there is a system package with rcs in the name. It is the only one with rcs in the name.

Cool... I will see if I can find it.
Just having that package may not work on the International though. We will see.

So is it possible to flash the international phone to T-Mobile version? And if I did would it be sim locked?

It will not SIM lock your device but you will lose dual-SIM until you flash back to the international firmware.

Global Version RCS in the US

Because no matter what I do I can't get it enabled here. I activated it in 8 phones already. Is there a secret or a stipulation?

Is that Facebook messenger or Google Messages.
Either way I'm not sure. It may have something to do with Metro by T-Mobile. I'll be working on it.
Thanks!

No. Google messages. I'm not giving facebook access to my text messages.

Solution: So I added global texting to my device (which actually belongs to my wife) just so that my sim could be activated on the xiaomi network. Afterwards, I downgraded messages to the "Pegasus" version and re-attempted the workaround. Eureka! Success! This one here is the Pro version as well. Hadn't installed the update that came a couple of days ago at the time. Case dismissed!

Visual Voicemail for unlocked U1

I've always downloaded Samsung Visual voicemal from APK mirror for all unlocked samsung devices, even my note 10. I installed it fine on the note 20 but when i try to open it it says not supported. Any idea for a visual VM program? Voicemail is practically useless without VVM.

I can't find the Verizon VVM that is compatible either. I'm looking for the APK if anyone figures it out.

Transferred Tmo VVM app via Smart Switch from previous S10+. Working fine on unlocked N20+

I downloaded version 12.1.00.35 from the Galaxy store on my US unlocked Ultra and it works just fine. I am AT&T for cell service , just moved sim from note 9 to this phone.

not sure if this is applicable for your situation but, i have a note 20 ultra unlocked (US Version) using google fi.
I downloaded the google phone app from APKMirror then installed (one of the newer apk's), set as default, then i installed an "android go" version of the phone app from APKMIrror as well, and now i have visual voicemail, it stuck after a reboot and is working for visual voicemail (transcript appears and seems accurate). It is a bit funky as it hangs when i try to play voicemails over the earpiece but it seems like playing it via speaker phone is fine. There is also a toast notification that pops up every time i open the phone app that says the device is not compatible and phone calls may not work properly, but it seems fine. YMMV!

Is volte working on yours?

Have you tried downloading carrier service from the play store? I have an unlock version with Verizon sim and visual voice-mail works. Thats the only thing I can think of that I added

Thanks. AT&T is going to turn off 3G in 2/21, and so I am worried about buying a phone without volte support -- on their network.

The VVM app was there on my unlocked U1 when I popped in my AT&T sim.
Works fine with the service.

How did you get it to work?

I didn't do anything, I mean, I put my sim card in the phone, turned it on, logged in with my google account, did the software update they pushed, rebooted. etc..... I did dial into my voice mail and checked everything and it was working, then I opened visual voice mail and it worked, I didn't do anything to make it work.

If you set up the T-Mobile VVM app then delete the app, the dialer will then enable it's built-in VVM.

Nope. That unfortunately never works on phones (at least OnePlus phones) that don't already come preloaded with Google's dialer, unless you root, run the Google dialer framework, etc. to get it enabled.

As someone who buys from oneplus year after year and also uses t-mobile as a carrier, it's worth noting that international variants on t-mobile, never have working visual voicemail no matter the dialer app. 7t and 8t both say it's not working. Oneplus can't figure out the issue and t-mobile doesn't want to. My international 8t has Google apps by default instead of oneplus apps, ie dialer, messages. Doesn't work any way. Even on my custom roms I build it doesn't work. I have even popped a vzw sim in my other sim slot and it has visual voicemail in the dialer then, just not with t-mobile. Further decompiled apps show me the carrier is trying to provision the oneplus devices as their variants, not international. Explained to oneplus and they do not understand. They think I'm saying my t-mobile phone won't work(vvm). I'm like noooooooo it's OnePlus international variants on T-MOBILE!! So welcome to the lost cause.

hmm I know when rooted it works. on my oneplus 7 pro on rr rom it worked
OP8T

and the unlocked 8t version comes with built in google dialer and google messages?

Correct

Ditch T-Mobiles crappy visual voicemail and just download youmail from the play store. It's more fun and has way more features including individual caller voicemails and scam blockers to use on top of scamshield
My fave is the 5 min long ringing tone so I don't get said voicemails from anyone

I've gotten it to work before, I just have to have root. Download the magisk props module, change your device to a pixel or OnePlus tmo variant, force stop the Google play store and clear storage. Use the dialer framework module, reboot and install dialer or use stock one.

I have several oneplus phones and VV in the stock dialer is spurious at best. But it will work sometimes! Make sure the tmo VV is uninstalled or disabled using Island in God Mode. Then just keep trying. I can verify it's working for me at the moment! I'm not rooted.

Island: https://island.oasisfeng.com/
TMO VVM breaks the built in one. To get it back you have to uninstall or freeze (using island in god mode) the tmo vvm app. Then clear the storage and cache of the builtin phone app and turn back on vvm in the built in phone app settings

I couldn't get past step 2 of the set up. Is this for the tmo or international version? I don't have tmo vvm app.
No matter. I tried installing tmobile's visual voicemail app and it works fine.
