Yes, plus the chat messaging in the stock messages app.

ok looks like RCS is part of the advanced messaging service which I have on both my note 8.
if disabled on yours maybe you can enable it using Shortcut Master lite app from play store, there's a how 2 vid on YouTube

May I ask are you SnapDragon or Exynos?
I have enabled mine using shortcut master but I only get the Call+, I cant make the advanced messaging to work on my Exynos.
I have tried all carrier firmware too without any success.

both my notes are European exynos, one is a dual sim unbranded and the other a single sim bought through Vodafone Ireland, both unlocked models

I don't seem to have call+ though as wifi calling is not supported by my provider yet

Same here, Note8 Dual SIM on Vodafone UK. Stock BTU firmware. It would be great to have this option.
Do I need to root to use the Master life app? If Yes, it is a no go for me.
So on the other thread you said that you got the config messages from Vodafone on your Dual SIM Note8?
I get this: "It looks like you?ve swapped your SIM or updated your device. To continue using data and sending picture messages, you need to update your settings manually, as your device doesn?t support automatic settings updates. Get started at vodafone.co.uk/settingsinfo"

no worries man, I don't have the duos with me now so will double check when I get home but I'm nearly sure it is there, it's multi csc XEU

ok, on my duos I didn't have it at first but after putting my sim card into it and going through pretty much everything ims related using Shortcut Master lite pressing launch where allowed and enabling things and also a few restarts, I was eventually prompted to enter a phone number on restart to avail of RCS and it is now showing under message settings, if possible on my duos it should be possible on yours

Thanks, I believe that the issue is with Vodafone UK provisioning.
As I had my brother test his too in Greece and he is in the same situation as you.
I have Wi-Fi Calling working but not RCS.

Unlocked US Note 8 - No Samsung Messaging "enhanced messaging"?

My wife's Sprint branded Note 8 has a rich communications option which, according to Reddit, is the latest iteration of Enhanced Messaging found on the Note 5 and S6. However, on the unlocked Note 8 I bought myself thru Samsung direct, the stock Messaging app has absolutely no options for Enhanced Messaging or Rich Communications. I don't want to use Google Messaging because it's missing features that the stock Messaging app has, such as the live message (if that is what it's called). Is there anything I can do to have my cake and eat it too or am I going to be stuck with google mesaging?
Unlocked phones won't have specific carrier options installed. You need Sprint's CSC to get those features.

Need to be rooted. If not you can flash the entire Sprint firmware.

Another option to try is use Shortcut Master or the Phone INFO app & launch 467 (IMS settings) to see if you can enable those features.

You should be able to enable VoLTE & RCS (advanced messaging) through the IMS settings I talked about above but I don't think you can get WIFI calling without TMO CSC.

Interesting thanks for comfirming, for some reason I thought VoLTE & Wifi calling wouldn't work for tmobile but then again I don't have an unlocked U. But yeah you should be able to enable RCS in the IMS settings.

Okso using phone info app it says that my active csc is spr which I'm assuming is sprint... If i have that csc then I should have the rich communications option in the Samsung messaging app but I don't.
Wow! The strangest thing just happened! I was trying to launch that 467 or whatever it was and it wasn't working so I gave up. Put my phone in charge a couple hours ago and come back to some text messages. One of these messages is from 9197 and says messenger's enhanced features have been enabled. (confirmation ID: ######)
Lets hope it works now!
Edit; nope. Still no option anywhere. I even force closed messages, and rebooted the device. Upon reboot I got the same message again from 9197 with a new confirmation number. This is odd.

Any tips on getting Rcs working on an unlocked note 9? I read what was mentioned about shortcut master and ##467# but I don't see where I enter those in the app.

VOLTE(Calling plus) Working on Sprint Note 8.

So, I downloaded n app called shortcut master lite cuz I member here on XDA recommended it to fix LTE issues. Don't know of his name but I will edit with his name for credit. But I turned advanced LTE on(u must search for it).Did not notice any difference in LTE. Tried it initially but did not have VOLTE while making outgoing call. But when a call comes in and I answer LTE stays connected. So I went back into the shortcut app and looked up LTE Functionality. Found a setting in there which says VOLTE Test UI then in that setting I turned on the first 2 options which then have me VOLTE both on incoming and outgoing calls. Not sure if it breaks anything but I have mine off cuz not sure if it breaks anything.

Oh I see now. U need the LTEFunctionality Test. The VOLTE Test UI is in this one.

I tested this by calling local pizza places (closed) while simultaneously using chrome in a double window and it was working.

so for better instructions to ppl,
1)use short cut master
2)Search for enhancedlteservices (should be com.android.phone.EnhancedLteServices)
3)Launch it and enable Enhanced LTE Services.
4)Next go to com.test.LTEfunctionality and launch LTEFunctionalityTest
5)Go to VoLTE Test UI and Enable first 2 settings to on
6)Extra precaution, restart phone
In no way i'm taking credit for finding this out. just made the steps more simple. Thanks OP for posting this. Please use at your own discretion. I don't know if this will screw up anything but i'm getting both voice and data at same time.

Need Help with Samsung Note 8 Hong Kong (HK) version 256 GB

Guys
I am planning to buy Samsung Note 8 HK Version 256 GB, but i need your help to tell me if it will work in the middle east specially the stores
From my previous experience in other phones -(LG), the LG store didn't work in my country
Thanks
any help please ??
Well I always recommend to get devices in the country where they are going to be used, mostly for warranty claim
Just assume/count on it that Samsung in your home country will not provide any support whatsoever if you bought the phone from other country...
Hi,
I have the HK version 256GB and it works fine in the Gulf, no issues. The only problem is Samsung Pay and VOLTE. If you care about those 2 features, don't buy it. Otherwise, it works like a normal GN8 without any issues whatsoever. As for the store, if you mean Play Store, no issues either, I can download any app. By the way, all Middle East versions are Exynos and the HK/Chinese and US versions are Snapdragon. In comparison to my friends Exynos, it seems to consume less battery.
Regards,
Moe

I've never used Nova Launcher so not sure if it has a similar feature. Try this....
Install Shortcut Master & launch 467 IMS Settings. If you have Phone INFO installed it has Shortcut Master built in.
Under IMS Service Switch see if you have toggles for VoLTE & RCS & if they are not greyed out. Enable all the toggles or at least just the VoLTE ones. Should enable instantly but you can a reboot would if not. If this doesn't work then you'll probably need a CSC change to get it workingg.
my samsung note 8, 6+256, sm n9500 can not used volte.There is no option for volte.Please tell me how to do and how to enable/support volte. kindly text me in the following mail. [email protected]

US Unlocked N9 on T-Mob

I've read some posts here (and other sources), seems WiFi calling, HD calling are supported and there's a couple work arounds for the camera Shutter sound. What about voicemail? Prefer to go unlocked and keep the bloat ware off. Any other surprises on an unlocked N9?
Coming from Sprint where I had to buy their LG V20 (after a very bad N4 experience) to keep most of these calling features. But it's time for a change now that I moved and T-Mob has better coverage than Sprint (probably true everywhere).
Using note 9 unlocked on t mobile. Everything works except video calling but if you really want that, then you can flash just the tmobile CSC file via Odin. That will add the video calling tab back on the dialer. It will not add the t mobile bloat apps but i do believe you will get the t mobile splash screens on boot/shut down
Thanks for the response and suggestion, that's very helpful.
I tried downloading the Visual Voicemail app from the Play Store on the U1 and had no luck getting it to work. The same happened when I had an S9+ running the U1 firmware. When you flash to the TMB U firmware though, it is included and does work. If you choose to flash to the TMB U though, you will want to brush up on some ADB commands to remove some of the T-Mobile bloat, which is still a lot less than most other carriers.

You can use the visual voicemail app on the unlocked note 9 for tmo, you just have to go to the app settings and enable all permissions. For some reason the app never asks you to enable the permissions, but after changing the settings it works fine.

No such thing as USERDATA CSC. USERDATA and CSC are two different files in the Odin image. In this case he is saying you should flash the TMB CSC (not HOME CSC, since that won't do anything) and the feature will appear for you. I am most curious about this, since it would mean applying U build files to a U1 build. I don't have much experience with that.
I recently bought an unlocked U1 but flashed the TMB U firmware on it a few days ago. I only did so because I heard the data speeds were substantially higher (can anyone confirm/deny this?).
Also, is there any way to get visual voicemail to work through a phone app? It's just so seamless on something like an iPhone or Pixel but I've never gotten it to work on my Note. I really don't want to use a whole separate app just for that.

Have you tried going into Settings, Apps, and enabling permissions for the app? For some reason, the app doesn't have any permissions when you install it from the Play Store. Try giving it Storage, Phone, and Contacts to see if that gets it working for you.

Do you mean to say if I give the standalone visual voicemail app permissions that it'll show up accessible in my phone app (as an extra voicemail tab)? If so that'd be great but from the way you worded it I assume you mean just using the app itself which I was trying to avoid.

Good to know; thank you. From my understanding then it doesn't really matter except for updates? I got the impression the unlocked gets quarterly security updates while the T-mobile generally monthly (but a month behind). Pretty sure they're both on the Sept. update right now so it's hard for me to tell.

I am not sure about a third party vieual voicemwil app. It can't hurt to give it a try though. I was referring to the T-Mobile Visual Voicemail app.

Ah ok, understood. I've always used phones that had the visual voicemail integrated with the phone app, so it's unfortunate that doesn't seem to be possible in this case.

How to register for a vivo account on the phone?

I live in the US. Does anyone know how to register for a vivo account on this phone? I’ve been going back and forth with vivo but, they’re no help at all. I think if you’re living in the US like me this phone is basically useless to you. Which sucks cause I think I’m going to have to return the phone.

If it’s Chinese version then no real way to register unless you know someone in China you trust who can register on their sim.

You can register by email over the Internet.. And then just log in from your phone
Jup, I can confirm that. Have a Nex 3 for a weekend now, and there are some querks in the procedure but it is quite easy to get a Vivo account up and running on the phone. A few of these querks were:
First, on the registrationpage don't forget to click "Send" to let Vivo actually send you the verificationcode, I assumed that it got send after I click Next, but on the page thereafter there is a Send button which you shouldn't forget.
Then it all worked smoothly.
On the NEX 3, in settings, I went to login, and encoutered the +86 requirement again, but there is an "Account password login" option in a grey-ish colour which you should use in order to get to the Email sign-in option. Then just put in password and off you go!
On a sidenote, I can confirm it does allow me to change the launcher!

My modelnumber is V1923A and my software version is PD1923_A_1.12.6. I read somewhere that distinguishing the global from the chinese version is the addition of some "EX"part in them software version, and since I don't have that I assume I got the chinese version.
And yep, running Microsoft Launcher fluently now!

That's the easy part, now did you find a way to activate the warranty of your Vivo Nex 3 ? It same to work only with a phone number ...
How can i know that my phone is Chinese or international
I've ordered the international version, however no google store? Is this normal and how can i install google services
The version i have is PD1924_A_1.12.9
Hi you just have to download playstore from the net with your browser and install it. That's what i did and everything work fine.

I'm registered and can log on to that as well. But can't log in to my account for the phone itself. I did buy the phone 2nd hand so not sure if that makes a difference. I may try to factory reset it.

Yes, you can try.
In the past when I was using MIUI Roms on my devices, I had to manually disconnect the MIUI account before flashing another version, because the system would detect that the phone had another account attached to it and wouldn't let me use a new account. However I have no idea if Vivo has something similar since this will be my first Vivo phone and I haven't used FuntouchOS roms.
