Messaging (SMS) app problems - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Questions and Answers

Hi Guys ... Hope someone can help
i've bought a unbranded note 8 . n950f
i'm on three and want to use there wifi calling.
i've downloaded the H3G firmware off sams and wifi calling works HOWEVER on that firmware the messaging app will not send SMS and the text message call centre settings are greyed out preventing changes.. SMS does work if i use a 3rd party app like gosms. ans built in wifi calling also works.
if i put the generic UK BTU firmware on messaging works however wifi calling (VOLTE) is not there..
anyone got any ideas please ? or know of another H3G firmware other than N950FXXU1AQHA that i coukld try

Which messaging app are you trying to use that doesn't work?
What settings have you got in the H3G ROM for IMS? Do they differ when you are running BTU?
To view the IMS settings, you can use Nova to make a shortcut, or follow these instructions I lifted...
1. Download Shortcut Master from app store (Light version works, but it's a great app, support the dev if you can)
2. Open the app and go to the menu (three dot's top right) and select app explorer
3. Scroll down to IMS Settings and select it.
4. Scroll down to ImsSettingsLauncherActivity (last item on my list) select it and hit launch.

[Q] Skype problem

I have installed Skype but I only need to use it occasionaly but even though I stop it from running automatically every time I want to dial a number I am offered an option box to use the dialer or skype, does any one know a way to stop this when Skype is not running?
Thanks
Sam
when that option box comes up, there is a checkbox to "use as default"
Simply check the box, then select dialer and the dialer will always be your default...the option box should not reappear
When you wish to use skype, go in thru the skype app.
Yes, follow Mystic38's advice. He is correct.

Not receiving SMS/MMS on stock messaging app.

Hi, first of all thanks for the help you could bring me. My problem is that since yesterday night I'm not receiving any kind of sms or mms on my stock messaging app. Today I was trying to solve it but with no success. So I installed Go SMS Pro and to my surprise it worked, I started receiving SMS and mms, but still the stock messaging app is not alerting of upcoming sms even though it's receiving them (I think that they share a common folder and that's why if in go SMS pro it works it'll show on stock messaging app, so in theory stock is not receiving but just showing, am I right?).
For now I'm using SMS go pro, but I'd like to know why this happened. I read something about accessing a hidden testing menu (*#*#4636#*#*) to change the smsc but that menu is not available on my phone (any idea why?) tried the code above and tried using those apps that serve as a shortcut. The screen goes dark as it's trying to access the testing menu and returns to home screen, in other apps (like missing shortcuts) it shows as unavailable. I even edited the hiddenmenu file on efs/carrier from OFF to ON and still the testing menu doesn't appear. I'm using my phone right now with mobile data, wifi works well and so do phone calls, no problems at all.
I'd really appreciate any ideas that could help me. My phone is a Samsung Galaxy S3 I9300 running 4.3 firmware, I updated from 4.1.2 a couple of days ago but didn't have any problems, I could receive sms normally. The problem happened suddenly yesterday night.

there is an option in Messaging app...Auto Retrieve - check if enabled....
if other app work with no problem it's just an app related problem..not something else...check in app setting maybe something is not enabled...
a factory reset would make it work for sure....but is too much...

Thanks for the answer. Yeah, I don't want to factory reset since I've just did it to upgrade to 4.3. About the app settings, I've just tried all the possible combinations. I'm just using GO SMS Pro for now but MMS aren't downloading. Sigh.

try this: go to Settings->More->Application Manager-> Select "All" tab -> select Messaging-> Clear data + Clear cache...

OTA Update 2.19.111.3

Anyone else who got this update?? If yes what are the new features?? It only says bug fixes. But i noticed that joyn was uninstalled and is now included in the sms app. I can change at the top between sms and joyn. But i don't know how pictures are send via mms, or via joyn. And i cannot change to sms for ever. So evertime i reopen sms the text message will be send via joyn if i don't change it for every message. Is there a way to make SMS to default??

Check the version number, I think it might be 4.4.4. As far as joyn is concerned, I have heard about it for the first time.....mainly because it only may have a user base in Europe. Joyn wasn't included in my phone.(Bought mine in Saudi Arabia)
Still on 4.4.2. Maybe the Telekom just moved joyn and sms together in one app. My one is branded.

Most likely, carrier branded phones usually have a different software version and update cycle

Telephone / SIP issues

Hello I have the EVA09 and like it so far, but 3 things makes it bad
1. using classsic telephone service is slow and bad quality. To start ringing it takes most between 10 and 40 seconds. Every so often it stops the dial prcess after that time. even i have 2 or 3 bars . If than finaly connected interruption misserable voice quality is Standard and makes it unusable for any business purpose (the great camera just can't talk)
2. the Standard Android funktion under Telphone options to add a aco**** for internet calling (SIP account) is missing. Is this a bad joke Huawei ??
3. The T-mobile Feature , WIFI Calling is not available. Who wonders after cut down on a feature as described under 2.
Any words from the comunity how this problems can be fixed ? different rom ? or some fixes for this ?
Thanks a lot
REinhard
As far as I have been told, the model has to be certified by your operator to get VoLTE and HD voice over 3G.
My operator hasn't allowed this yet. (Telenor DK)
I just found out that T-Mobile Germany sells it with the firmaware EVA-L09C150B140 CUSTDEUD004 and update availabe EVA-L09C150B150 CUSTDEUD004, THis would be the key i guess. anybody has this Firmware ?
Any news to this thread WIFI Calling
Hello , since the phone does not support WIFI Calling, Free Texting in the Plane (GOGOAIR) is not possible either, Tmobile requires a WIFI CALL first ....
Nice Camera, but to use it as a phone would be helpfull (phone modul is the worst i had for over 10 years ) Voice quality, connection time, etc.

Really, I find that the phone is amazing - maybe it's different expectations - but it holds signal really well, the voice quality sounds great to me too. I would say phone calls is one of the things that this phone does best for me. Sorry to hear that you are having problems.
Maybe there is quality control problems, there is another guy on Reddit who has bluetooth issues, but I haven't had a single issue on that 7 things that I have connected from phone to, from my laptop, to my car to several speakers or my Moto 360 - all have been flawless. Much better than the LG G4 was for me.

Thanks for the answer, might worth to return it and get an exchange.
Use App from store called QuickShortcutMaker
- install App
- launch App
- at Search type "sip " there shall be a space in the end
- Press Try/Launch
- voila
If you configure SIP account, later at Settings / Wireless & Networks / Call Settings, you are able to choose Phone account settings.
Calling out is working, confirmed
Though the menu Sip Settings at the lower region of Phone account settings page is missing on my Emui 8 Oreo P9 (AL10) which once was a Emui 7 Nougat P9 (L19)
so the function about Receiving Calls is missing.
on the other hand with my Note 4 running LineageOS 15.1 Oreo 8.1 , this SIP settings part is available, still calls are not received.
Question, if someone got still Nougat on P9, do you see in Phone account settings the lower part called SIP settings where you can configure Incoming calls and switch it on for Receiving Calls?

I have a second P9 with custom ROM Magic Rainbow (MR) v4 by @Tecalote.
It was based on L09/L19 c432 b398, he added some things (Magisk, K-Settings, Viper4Android) but otherwise the Settings, Phone/Dialer, etc. must be the same as on the stock Nougat/EMUI 5
1) I have no Call Settings under the Settings
2) I can open phone/call Settings only from Dialer app, three dots menu, Settings - and it looks similar to as on Oreo AL10 c00 b540
(On Oreo, Phone Settings can be opened both from general Settings and from Dialer app, three dots menu - here, on Nougat, MR v4, only from Dialer, three dots menu)
3) But in the phone/call Settings (Dialer app, three dots menu), there is no Account (SIP) Settings option
4) By the same procedure like on Oreo:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79552304&postcount=1748
I can add SIP account, and SIP account menu looks just like on Oreo, there is no section about incoming (SIP) calls
5) However, even when I added SIP account by Package Manager (or by Quick Shortcut Maker), there is still no Account Settings option at the bottom of phone/dialer Settings
6) In adding/editing a Contacts, under Add Additional Field, there is no option Internet call, hence I cannot test making an outgoing call like on Oreo
If @ogisha is willing to check, AFAIK, he has still the stock Nougat c432 b504 - does he have some SIP (Account) Settings, or the same like described above for MR v4 ROM

Usage is described here
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=79552304&postcount=1748
But on Oreo, there is "Internet call" option on Additional field for Contacts, making it possible to make outgoing VoIP calls to the SIP account

I do not have "Internet call" option in Contacts / Dialer.
Maybe I will get it after I set up SIP account.
EDIT: Unfortunately, I could not activate "WiFi calling".

I just checked the settings in Phone App by Google LLC on Lineage OS 16.0 on my Note 4
all settings about sip calling are available there

well, i can't send and receive sms... anyone knows what to do?
Perhaps you should provide information as to what your carriers and your plans are.
By default phone uses "Force close/stop" feature to prevent apps from running in background to save memory. As a result when you swipe remove the message/sms app or any other app from backround app list, they get forced shut down and you wont receive any message or they won't function any more. Follow this step to enable receiving sms or any other app:
Go to Settings > System > Advanced > 'DESELECT' Deep process clean
That's all

You still haven't provided information on your Carrier or your Carrier Plan.
How can you expect to have any help?
If you have Verizon, call them and ask to add CDMA-Less provisioning. I work for vzw and have had plenty of customers with this issue when using non mainstream brand devices
