Call and Message Continuity - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Questions & Answers

I have recently purchased a Samsung Galaxy Tab S5e (Wireless) and it has the ability to pass calls and messages from compatible devices to the tablet. Currently, Sprint and T-Mobile S10+ is listed as a compatible device.
I'd like to somehow get this functionality to my Note 9. From the looks of the research I've done this is happening through a synch of the Samsung user account on the 2 devices.
My Note 9 has the Call and Message Continuity system app installed, but the feature isn't accessible through the system settings. Is there any way to enable/activate or otherwise make the setting available (Settings > Connections (it should be right after the Hotspot setting)) ??
Edit/Update - Call and Message Continuity is now available on the Note 9. I just performed the latest update and the feature is enabled. It should be noted that the update mentions nothing about the added features though. The software version I'm running is stock N960U1UEU2CSH2 . The Call and Message Continuity feature is found under Settings > Connections > Call and message continuity .

If you have ONLY used Samsung Flow, then you have no idea what you are missing with Call and Message Continuity. FLOW IS NOT THE SAME AT ALL.
FLOW merely duplicates your notifications. They are not actionable in meaningful anyway.
FLOW IS NOT C&MC.

OnCircle feature

my OnCircle feature doesnt work. It is turned ON and so is advanced messaging. But the feature still doesn't work
.
Don't feel bad mine doesn't either, don't bother calling Samsung as they will not have any ideas to help. Don't call your carrier because they will just refer you to Samsung. Don't go to bestbuy asking because the Samsung rep will say that its because of Google hangouts (at least that is what my rep said) odds are its just something that only works in China somewhere
spent hours speaking to Samsung and Optus yesterday and eventually managed to figure out It is carrier based and also some features only work if your contact has a S6 or S6 edge
**** works perfectly for me.. only can send it to my girlfriend coz she has the normal edge..

Is yours abnormal?
No she has the s6 edge
It only works when other person has an edge (plus) too.

Anyone with any variant of the s6 or s7 and Note 5 can OnCircle. The b problem is is that there are a few bugs preventing it from working...
1. To test first go ahead and save your own number as a contact and go to MyPeople and see if you pop up. If you do then that means your OnCircle is working fine and the others either does not or doesn't have a compatible device...
2. If you do not pop up on MyPeople go to your default Messages app: More>Settings>Enhanced Messaging and turn it on if it was off go ahead and try to do the step 1 test if it was on/ still will not work continue to step 3
3. Go to your default Messages app: More>Settings>Enhanced Messaging>Registered Information and make sure all options are checked and test out step 1 again if it fails them go to step 4
4. Go to your default Messages app: More>Settings>Enhanced Messaging>Registered Information>More>Deregister Phone Number...
Then re-register it and once it's registered go ahead and turn on all the required settings like Enhanced Messaging, Profile Sharring, OnCircle etc... then test out step 1 again and it should work this time, if not reboot and try again and if still no go then your carrier does not support Enhanced Messaging. Try modifying your APN, for instance i cannot use Enhanced Messaging with a Simple Mobile APN so i use the T-Mobile APN which works perfectly...
***Profile Sharing allows you to be found by other contacts that have OnCircle only if you both have each other saved as contacts (you can modify these settings) but just like IMessage and FaceTime, your profile data is hosted on samsungs server so go to Contacts>MyProfile and make sure you share only the information you want, and even if you don't share your address, samsung will still have it on their servers so if privacy is your issue, don't fill out this information, and check to see if it was autofilled by your Samsung Account.
If you would like to add me on OnCircle and test out the features, send me a message on Skype and I'll be willing to add more friends to my very very low count of 2 OnCircle Friends, (one's myself).
Thank you.

Android Messages RCS not working

Hello,
Has anyone swapped to the Google Messages/Android Messages app over the stock Samsung messages app on the S10/S10+ and been able to get RCS working?
I came from a Pixel 3 XL and enjoy the Android Messages app over the Samsung app even with the OneUI overhaul, but I cannot get RCS/Chat working - it is not even visible in advanced settings. If I swap to the Samsung app it sends RCS messages no problem, swap back to Android messages it goes back to SMS/MMS only. I also installed Google Carrier services thinking maybe it needed that to trigger it but nothing, looks like the Carrier services app also does not get triggered to actually provision anything even with it installed.
Would love to hear if anyone has this working
Same issue here. I prefer Android messages since I get a lot of verification codes texted to me and Android messages has a quick copy code option. On TMobile. Rcs works fine on Samsung message app.

I am using T-Mobile and I have not yet had RCS support(waiting for it), but I want to ask, how did you install Google Messages app on your new Samsung phone? Did you transfer your info including apps using Samsung Switch app? If yes, some apps may not have transferred correctly, so I would uninstall them, then reinstall or just try clearing data of that app.

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Google Messages a few times, still does not resolve, even installed Google Carrier Services to attempt to fix. Really odd if you cant use a different message client with the same tech.
beep boop
Right now its only supported on the stock Samsung messaging app.

"Messages" is a public app that Google has on the Play Store (just search for 'Messages' and make sure you get the one from Google LLC), and anyone with an Android phone can download it. It's a drop-in SMS/MMS replacement for OEM (or carrier) apps for SMS/MMS.... it also supports RCS, but not on every phone.

And it looks like it may stay that way for a while: For RCS to be shared between apps, the way SMS/MMS are, Google needs to build an API so that different apps could access the same data. It LOOKED like htye were going to do that, but then 9to5Google and others reported that the code was hidden and commented out in the Android Q preview, with comments suggesting that it wouldn't be available till Android R. Lord knows why it's taking Google this many hears to get down basic functionality on something as important as messaging... they've been pushing their RCS Universal Profile since 2016, so it seems ridiculous that it'll be 2020 (for Android R) before they release an API baked into Android for it.
Textra is still my favorite SMS app. I wish Messages and Samsung Messages would implement their quick reply features
It works for me sending messages to my parents who are on Sprint with me using the Google Messages app. I'm pretty sure they are using the default Samsung messages app but I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
Not exactly the same but worth a mention...Verzion S10- has Real Time Text (RTT) working..you enable this from the stock phone dialer screen, three dots at the top right for Settings > Real Time Text. You can set it to always on and you'll get the additional option to send an RTT type message call whenever you click a contact.

Samsung Note8 Android 9.0 and SIP / VoIP settings

Hello,
I have Note8 with Android 9 and I need to connect to SIP (VoIP) server to receive calls.
What I have done:
1. I installed 3 app: Galaxy SIP Settings, Galaxy SIP Accounts, Galaxy SIP Outbound Call Helper.
Galaxy SIP Accounts app - correctly connected to my SIP account. Theoretically app tell me, that recive calls should work. However, this does not work.
Galaxy SIP Settings - this application won't start, message: "Opps - the activity for SIP settings could not be found on this phone".
Galaxy SIP Outbound Call Helper - when I click button "Calling accounts", the phone goes to Dialer > 3 dots > Settings > Other Calls settings > Callings Accounts > All calling Accounts > Here I see data of my SIP accounts and it is activated.
After that, I can call from my phone by SIP number, but any call does not come to my phone.
2. So I instaled another app: QuickShort-cutMaker. I found Activities:
Phone Services > Sip Settings > com.android.services.telephony.sip.sipsettings
and
com.android.serices.telephony.sip.SipPhoneAccountSettingsActivity
but when I click "Ceate" nothing happen. Maybe I don't know where i should look for it?
3. The last app what I install is MizuDroid. And in this app Reciving and outgoing calls working. But... when I left the phone for few minutes with screen off, the app stop work and calls not reciving I have disabled energy saving for this application but still, few minutes with screen off and app dosnt work.
____________
Any other ideas? Becouse of this coronavirus happening, I working at home, and I need reciving calls from work phone...

Question Google RCS paired with Samsung Messages

Hey all! Just wondering if anyone has figured out how to enable the Google RCS setup inside the Samsung Messages app for the snapdragon variants? I've used just the built-in activity launcher with nova to dissect the app a little and it's got quite a few built in options. Just curious if anyone was able to make it work in the US. So far I've only seen people from Europe get access.
Download https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rrivenllc.shieldx&hl=en&gl=US
Create an account
Enable device admin & knox
Go to app manager
look for IMS Settings
Open the mainactivity
Look for the RCS options there and enable it including its features.
Sorry I can't be specific with the instructions since I don't have my phone at the moment but just try it.

Hi sorry for the late reply.
From IMS Settings go to IMS Service Switch and enable RCS Switch and all the RCS sub section toggles at the bottom. And do that on both sim slots. You can switch by clicking the sim slot # at the upper right corner of the screen.
I've been struggling with RCS since I got the S21U, I can connect to both the Google messages app and the Samsung default app, but the RCS switches (main and sub-switches) on the IMS settings app won't stay turned on, as soon as I leave the page they turn to gray.
I've got all the multimedia telephony flags on and all are working fine, just the RCS flags won't stay up.

S21U Unlocked straight from Samsung.
RCS stuck in verifying.
I just turned it off.
I'll wait for Google to get its act together on this.
WhatsApp "just works".

I don't think you understood my problem, RCS in google messages says connected, except I don't really have chat features. I can connect to Samsung messages too, but it still won't use chat features.
My problem is with the RCS flag on the IMS settings page, it won't stay on, I turn it on, simply switch SIM card from 1 to 2 to 1 and it's gray again. Everything else on the IMS settings is turned on and working, just the RCS flags won't stay on.

Where is this thing you speak of?
The IMS settings page that used to be accessible through the messages app activities, now you have to use something like alliance shield x unless you're rooted.

Well, you shouldn't have to install Carrier Services on a Samsung device. They manage that themselves.
Yea in the US, i wasn't aware of that part about carrier services though, I know it was needed on my pixel so I assumed it was needed on this as well.
I have a US S21U unlocked from direct from Samsung. I'm using Google messages. Most of my friends use iPhones, so I don't normally have an opportunity to test RCS. But a friend recently got a T-Mobile S21U, he's not a technical person, so I expect he's using whatever message app the carrier models default to, not sure if that's Samsung or Google. RCS just works between me & him.
I cant force them to work, google app stuck on veryfing number, samsung messages keep saying registration failed. Nice,

I'm facing the same issue.
I had it working and then it stopped working.
Try the RCS de-register thing. Disable RCS and then wait a week or so and then try again.
You can also try to call your carrier. I'll try that later as well.

Same here. But, it ain't working for me here in the US either.
It was working for a short time but then it stopped.
May have been something I did.
Try this: https://messages.google.com/disable-chat
Then, re-register.

SMS not sent with not default app

I'm working on an app that send SMS remaninder by SMS once a day.
Basically I set an intent at the specified time, that trigger a receiver where It send the SMS, and show a notification that the job is done.
I tested it on some devices: old moto with oreo and also newer devices like some samsung with android 13.
When I tried it on this Huauei P30 Pro I faced 2 problem:
-the receiver not work, so I change energy save setting and it seem to work.
-SMS are not sent, but notification is showed, so I know that code is executed, but do nothing. (of course I asked the permission to access SMS when installing the app).
I did not know very well huawei devices so my question : is there any security setting that not allow me to send SMS?
any advice?
