So despite the generally believed notion that Green Chat Bubbles signify SMS and Blue Chat Bubbles indicate RCS, my Chat bubbles in the Samsung messaging app have stayed that same dull green color despite having RCS through Tmobile. Besides switching to a 3rd party messaging app or theme (which I DO NOT want to do)...is there a fix in settings for this, or is this just the color Samsung forces all of it messages in its Messages app to be?

I believe the blue chat bubbles are proprietary to Imessage not rcs
Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk
No..not a proprietary issue, but more of a standard protocol. iPhone has its own built in messaging system (iMessages). It was believed that messages sent to iPhone from an Android phone were green to signify that it is an Android user...but the truth is Android utilized SMS protocol and since its outside of iMessages the message would be green. Likewise, in RCS (Rich Communication Services) stock text messages will (or should) be in blue and texts sent in standard SMS format will appear as green.

Welp, for stock messages I've only ever had blue bubbles for rcs enabled contacts. No green for others... Just nothing for them.
Issues like this is why I just don't bother with SMS at all. For rich communication on Android, I just use WhatsApp or Discord. Can't be bothered with sms as a main messaging platform on Android.
Does anyone else's U.S T-mobile Note20U have RCS enabled in their default Samsung SMS? I'm not seeing it in mine..

If it's a factory TMobile variant you should have this feature working as long as you are messaging a person who also has an rcs enabled phone.

Hey guys I don't know if anyone has tried to install AT&T visual voicemail, but I was able to get it to work. Here are the steps I took to get working:
1. Download the apk from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1452330
2. Install on the phone and try setting it up. It will not complete but that is ok.
3. It will prompt you to update Visual Voicemail from the Play Store, but the update will fail saying that it was not signed.
4. Once that pops up choose Uninstall.
5. Once Uninstalled, right away click install from the Play Store.
6. The installation should be successful and now you can setup and enjoy AT&T Visual Voicemail.
Click thanks if this works for you guys.

Worked, but a little differently.
After it failed to setup I clicked update, but it said it couldn't find it on the market.
Then it took me back to the app and asked for my password and worked fine.
Thanks, nevertheless.
It's a supported application for the HTC One X, just doesn't come preinstalled. Download it from the market.

I had to call customer service. My phone wasn't provisioned for the VVM I'm wondering if it's because I switched from an iPhone to this HOX. Once I had them re-provision it works as described, except I can't find the VVM app in the play store. The one provided here on XDA seems to work though

Confirmed.
I had to switch my basic voice mail to visual voice mail. DL'ed the attached apk and it worked right away. I was prompted to update but it didn't work but the current verison will do for now until they revise the store to allow our One X to install it freely.
Strange, looks like we should have this according to AT&T.

Odd behavior: If I receive a voicemail while NOT connected to WiFi, then ATT Visual Voicemail picks up on it and acts as intended. If I receive a voicemail with WiFi connected, I get the normal voicemail notoficaiton and have to call my cell number to listen to it.
Anyone else experiencing this? Or that can test it?

When I called tech support he told me that VVM only downloads from the network and not over wifi, which would explain that.
+1 for confirmed.

Yeah it downloads over cellular not WiFi.however if you are on WiFi, just give it like 2-5 minutes after the missed call for visual voicemail to receive it. It will download it over cellular even tho you are connected to WiFi.

That's F'ing stupid IMO. since I'm (and I assume most people) on WiFi the majority of the time (home/work). How is it that iPhone can instantly get VVM over WiFi and we can't. It's an official AT&T app!!
Thanks for the confirmations and added info from AT&T tech support.
I had to call to have VVM activated also. But worked great after that. Thanks!

I mean I've had it come instantly before. But I'm not sure why the variation in receiving times. When I called tier 2 tech support (I have their direct number from a previous issue I had a year back so I call them directly to get quicker and more efficient help) the guy said that the one x will be officially supported by the app on may 28th (hopefully he's right) so maybe they'll always come instantly then.

After trying both, I actually prefer Google voice over AT&T VVM since Google also has speech to text and convenient widgets. Also the voicemail greeting from Google sounds more human than AT&T's.
After using both, Google voice is a better product IMO, except that the notifications are not displaying on my HOX.

Does T-Mobile have anything like AT&T numbersync? Managing a second phone number seems it can be confusing for the people I call from the watch. I understand AT&T numbersync makes it look like one phone number across all devices.

I don't know for sure as I currently have a tmobs S3 because VZW doesnt sell it yet.
I have the latest Galaxy watched and just connected it to the 7. I get app notifications on the watch but no calls or texts. I checked the settings and did all I can think of. Is this an incompatibility issue or is there something I'm not doing?
Thanks!
IIRC, the calls only come to the watch when you're away from your phone? That's how it was when I was using it on my Note 9. Haven't tested calls on my 7 Pro yet with my GS3 Frontier but texts came through.
Texts and calls come to mine no problem. Works pretty flawlessly.

I don't get anything as calls, call log, messages or inbox. Very weird because on my s10+ it was working fine.
I completely reset the watch. Didn't think of that at first. I just "connected to new phone" before this. I'll keep everyone posted.
Yeah when you change phones you have to reset the watch. I have the GS3 Frontier and this was I had to do. Mine works with getting notifications from textra, WhatsApp and calls no issues.

With the latest OOS 9.5.13 the OP 7 Pro is now compatible with Visible Wireless (Verizon MVNO). Everything works, voice, text and data, without having to manipulate APNs or request enabling CDMA-less. Visible hasn't officially made the announcement yet but this is great for anyone who wants to use a Verizon based service for much cheaper than post paid. Anyone else been able to try their drive on Visible?

Just tell the site you're bringing over an iPhone, then it won't check for IMEI. Working great on on my 7 Pro here, didn't have to do anything else once I got the sim.

Thanks just wondering since they advertised vowifi I thought maybe they would have standardized it finally.
BTW Google Voice won't work over wifi on the 7Pro like it does on some phones. You have to install Hangouts and Hangouts Dialer and use those with your Google voice number.

Never noticed that about google voice on 7pro....you're correct in airplane mode-need hangouts. Here is the funny thing,if I download Google Voice on my Chromebook it works without Hangouts installed.

Just a head's up - Visible is not currently compatible with Oxygen OS 10 (Android 10). It will not activate. Google Fi is also not compatible. It will activate, but you will lose your mobile data constantly.

No, once you update you will lose service. I took a look at the apn-conf.xml and telephony.db files and all visible entries were removed on Android 10. Attempted to replace the files from 9.5.13 but still didn't work.
Looks Line a reversion issue where 10 was forked before the the fix in 9. Likely it is on the list to fix

That's why I sold my Snapdragon and got back exynos I couldn't get 5G to work at all

It's intermittent like they are working on the 5g tower nearby or something. It's not all the time which is strange
