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.

Good Morning.
I bought this phone 3 days ago from amazon, i noticed some bugs i want to share. Maybe i'm just a noob but i can't find a solution so i ask for your check.
1. It's impossible to disable WhatsApp notification. Everyone can read msgs' previews even with the phone locked. I didn't test notification from other apps. Just disabled sound and lock screen preview but it still show it.
2. can't turn off touch-disable function. It's impossible to use the phone inside arm-bands. It seems they forgot the otpion in the Smart Assistance menu.
3. FM radio has not the RDS function.
I'm sorry i can't add attachment with system infos but i'm not allowed to do it cause forum policies about new users.
I would appreciate your test,
Thank you.

HI, for notifications I still can't figure out how to set WhatsApp notification only with flashing led, without sounds...
And in the settings I haven't the option to set the touch-disable function... Could you tell me where you found it please?.
Notifications - Do try it Yourself, remember that You have to manage it inside Whatsapp itself as well.
Touch-disable is in smart assistance at the bottom od the screen.

Hi,
regarding the touch-disable function, this is the smart assistance menu... i can't find it.
Also searching "touch" word in the menu gives no relevant results.
That's the problem with different phone versions.
I do own an Indian/Chinese version 3GB/16GB.
Model LLD-AL10. CUSTC675D3
I do have PRIVATE SPACE, APP TWIN , DOUBLE TAP TO WAKE, touch-disable function. etc
Sadly I do not have an NFC which was one of the reasons I bough't this phone.
same problem

Posted this over on reddit but should have asked here first. My Note8 has officially received Oreo ota update 2 days ago. One of the features im looking forward to is the GIF Keyboard. The changelog for the Samsung Keyboard includes - "The GIF keyboard lets you send GIFs". However I cant seem to figure out how to find/ use this GIF keyboard. Anyone know how? I only have emoji, stickers, live message, voice input, settings, handwriting, clipboard, one handed keyboard

What messages version are you all on? If it's less than 5.xx try to install this https://www.apkmirror.com/apk/samsu...g-messages/samsung-messages-5-0-10-9-release/ using adb with the -l -r commands and see if that gets you GIFs back.

My "Messages" version is 4.4.10.13 and "Messages Service" version is 4.4.10.4. Looks like that is the culprit and Samsung forgot to include the latest messages version in the Oreo firmware. I haven't done any adb sideloading in ages. Will just wait for Samsung to fix this. Thanks for the input.
I have gif working on Samsung keyboard on the Note 8
The gif keyboard is integrated into Samsung keyboard and allows anyone you use it. The gif option is greyed out if it cannot be used, for instance typing on a browser.
I am using Verizon Note 8 on the Oreo update. I use Verizon messages and I have stock messaging app is disabled on my phone. Gif works fine in my messaging app.
So I would say messaging app not related. Maybe clear cache/data for Samsung keyboard.
Another note, for a fresh run I did factory reset my phone in settings after coming to oreo. Old habit when upgrading to new big builds from my rooted days. Figured I'dgo in fresh. All is working. I used smart switch to backup and restore to save time before and after reset.

This is correct, it has nothing to do with the Messages app, it's a feature of the Samsung Keyboard app. Gif was available & worked fine for me with Oreo.
Check to see if you guys have Samsung Keyboard v.3.0.10.34 installed. I have that installed on Nougat & gif keyboard is working fine (although it's useless to me, I never use it or stickers either).

Hmm, that's strange. I wonder if it's CSC/country related? I've used XEF & TMB CSC & both had gif keyboard.
If you go to languages for Samsung Keyboard in settings, do you have English updated/downloaded? If not it will have a down arrow next to it, if it is it should have a toggle next to. I'm not sure if it might be related but if English is not fully updated swipe & predictive text don't work on Samsung Keyboard. Just a thought, worth a try.

Yup will do & will report back here.
You know, I remember seeing something a while back about gifs & fair use. If that's the issue it would make sense for some countries to not allow it but then again IIRC there were reports of people in the US on certain carriers not having it. Usually when carriers disable a feature is cause they offer their own paid service. I doubt carriers would have their own gif feature but if they do & that's the case, that's unbelievable! Greedy SOBs.

Ok, I tested & unfortunately it appears that my suspicion of it being CSC related is correct. With XSG CSC I don't get the gif keyboard.
I found online that mostly AT&T users are complaining that they don't have gif keyboard. Some are thinking that AT&T forget to include it in their update/firmware. Well that's not the case as it's CSC also. I installed AT&T CSC & sure enough, no gif keyboard either.
I wonder why some countries and/or carriers choose to disable it. I went back to T-Mobile CSC & have gif keyboard again.
Are you rooted?

Ahh, there we go! Thanks for testing and confirming shouren, much appreciated. Definitely seems strange that some carriers will allow but not others.
I'm slightly embarrassed to say I'm not rooted lol... I've rooted and modded every Android device I ever owned, and specifically got the Exynos Note 8 so I could continue doing the same here. Strangely though, I bought it and then never really felt a need to root yet. I don't even know who I am anymore...
When I do eventually root though, I might as well apply my carrier's CSC (Bell Canada) and hopefully resolve both root and gif keyboard at the same time

No problem. Ah ok, if you were rooted, I was gonna say I'll dig around in the XSG CSC & see if I can figure out how to get gif kb to work. I think I have an idea of what to change but I'd have to test. But since XSG is not your carrier's CSC, doesn't matter anyway.
Since XSG is not your carrier's CSC, might as well change to XEF CSC? I know gif kb works with XEF. No root needed, may wipe data though if that matters.
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.

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.
All,
I thought Samsung said at their unpacked event that they were moving to native Google messages. Mine looks like it is the Samsung messaging app Version 12.1.01.25. Anyone has any nsight on this? I have the s21 ultra 512GB directly from Samsung using T-mo.
A little research -- https://9to5google.com/2021/01/15/galaxy-s21-google-messages-pre-installed/
Not installed in the US... Why?
It was always only for non-US phones, US phones got stuck with Samsung Messages. We will have to wait for someone to upload the APK so that we can sideload it.
And for anyone wondering the Google Messages version in the Play Store is different and doesn't offer the integrated features that come with the Samsung version of it.
I wish they would stick to one of the two apps, not both. My 21 came with both preloaded and it's getting pretty ridiculous. There's pretty much double apps everywhere now, even a secondary keyboard by Microsoft! And I can't even uninstall them!
I am using the google messages for s20 ultra. I downloaded from the play store just fine
US S21 here. I downloaded from play store. It works but it says "chat features unavailable for this device"

That's on your carrier. RCS and chat features worked fine and activated immediately for me on T-Mobile.

yeah and nothing malfunctions, except I can’t get RCS to work.
EMEA Version came with Samsung Messages.
Installed Google Messages and have chat features in it.
Yeah, it's weird. Just got my s21. Text messages that are being reply to me were still going to my old phone that didn't even have a sim card. Searched and found that Chat features needed to be turned off on the old phone...didn't work either until I just uninstalled the app. Now chat features are not available on the s21. Says to call carrier. Figure it's a network issue holding onto my old device info and not releasing to my new? Maybe it just takes some time.
[Didn't know that Samsung is supposed to have a messaging app that integrated with googles.]

I have exactly the same problem, cannot activate the chat function because the validation SMS does not work either. If anyone finds the solution I am listening.

Thank you! How hard would it be for the Google Messages app to direct users to download the Carrier Service when they try to enable Chat features but are denied. Chat set up immediately after installing Carrier Service.
Edit: I'm on T-mobile with the T-mobile S21 Ultra.
I just removed google messaging app from mine, through ADB.
I was like.. what?? Why are there 2 apps with the same name "messages" in my drawer?
anyway, got rid of it
I have the Verizon version of the ultra and there were no issues with getting Google Messages to work with the chat features. All I did was download and install the app. I also made it my dark messaging app in Settings > Apps > Default apps.
I use T-mobile and and have the s21 ultra unlocked on Tmobile, and I use the google messages and chat features work perfectly fine.
On Tmobile 512 unlocked.
If I want RCS with call and text on other devices .(Play store version, of Google messages does not support Samsung text and call on other devices) I had to go on "U" firmware with TMO carrier services and stick with Samsung messages.
I tried installing Google " NATIVE"messaging for Samsung. That apk that was posted in another thread and it would not install.
Also it does not seem that continue app on other devices is working either .
My tab s7+ and S21 ULTRA are both on 3.1 and they have the options enabled ,but no
Worky.
Honestly I prefer the Samsung messages app because it gives an audible notification when you're on a phone call. The Google messages app doesn't. It sucks to be on a call and not know a text message came in. If Google messages would add that simple feature it would be just about perfect.
Question for those that have the Google Messages prebaked in, can one of you upload it for us to use? If I'm not mistaken that is the one that is specifically developed to be themed alongside One Ui. Thanks in advance!
