I see that Google has officially released an initial beta version of the RCS features. Pretty simple to set up using the android messages app but I hear that it should work with the Samsung messages app as well. Has anyone had any success in getting it to work?

As i have seen couple of reddit posts, samsung has started RCS support on samsung messages on couple of devices and carriers, so soon it will be available for all.

I seen the same today, hopefully it won't be long to reach the US and implemented on all carriers like google messages
I have RCS on my T-Mobile Note 9, I'm running Android 9 N960USQS3CSK1. I could see when some of my contacts are replying back to me but I'm assuming their carrier must have implemented this as well.

I got my Nexus 4 today, and the first texts i got where as a mass MMS from iPhone users. Previously when receiving these messages, I would get a distinct thread for each of the contacts in the group, but surprisingly, the Nexus 4 supports the grouping of these messages into one thread. I am very happy with these features since most of my cousins have iphones. And I am surprised this feature has not been mentioned by anyone. +1 to Google.
That's actually really awesome to hear... The other day on my old phone, some iPhone users added me to a group chat, and I got hundreds of MMS messages that wouldn't download and were just spanning my phone. It was so annoying! To hear that Android supports this now is awesome! Thanks for this!

So I just sent a group message too two people and was hoping the stock SMS app would support group messaging. But to my surprise when someone replies back to group I get a single txt from that person and not in the group message. One person has a S4 and the other has a Iphone 5. Is there a fix for this or am I just left off installing the CM messaging app?

I have it checked and it only sends the message to everyone but I do not receive messages back in the group.
Use group SMS or try using some messengers...

Can anyone confirm if the CM messenger has working group?
Hangouts is a good multiplatform messanger.
Give Textra a try. It's my favorite SMS app and group MMS works great.
i used the stock SMS app for group text all the time with no issue. groups as large as 10 people no issue. im running the CM SMS app now for the added features and yes, it works perfectly as well.
My stock messaging does group

More than likely this issue is caused by the iPhone 5 response, I have received group messaging with other android users fine, but throw an iPhone user in the mix and you start to get individual texts back. When I was running CM10.2 on my DNA they were able to get this fixed, but I think the iPhone 4's responses were still coming back as individual.
It could also be that the person responding is using an app that doesn't support group MMS. When they respond they only respond to you.

and to add to all the problems. AT&T and VZW use different formats for their messages so things get tricky there. Also the older iphones and the newer iphones use different text message formats. This is why if you send a big text to a vzw customer it will show up often as an entire block but if it is an AT&T customer it will break it up into the 179 (or however many) characters.
This is also the reason that if you send a long text to an older iphone it will come in not in the same order as you sent it on their phone. I looked into all of this because I use mightytext so i send long text from my computer a lot and people with older iphones on AT&T always get jumbled messages.
The entire system is just crap but its not worth the making a uniformed format because it would cost money and not enough people complain or know about all the issues. IMHO.
So you don't really have to watch the video to understand what is going on here. I usually post those as reminders to people on my Youtube channel that there is an easy, non intrusive way to get visual voicemail as an AT&T user.
A while back they stopped bundling AT&T phones with their Visual Voicemail bloatware. They replaced it with AT&T Messages. The main thing most people disliked about that was the fact that it took over as the default text messenger as well. However, we can still use AT&T's VVM app.

Wow, no YouMail option in the poll? I switched to YouMail back on my S3 when I was running a ROM that wouldn't work with AT&T VVM and it's all I've ever used since on any phone and any rom, stock or custom.
I haven't touched You mail in ages. Signed up for it but my provider at the time didn't allow free forwarding to an out of area zip. Not sure I can modify the poll, but I'll check.

No worries. I'm just surprised more people don't use it. The customization (personlized greetings, etc.) is really nice.
I'm currently running Pure Nexus and like many/most custom roms it has GA enabled but the other 2 phones in my house are stock Nexus 6P's and neither have received the update yet. One I signed up for the beta program and it downloaded and installed the 7.1.2 beta but no GA. Then I read today that it'll be a Google Play Services update that enables GA across MM/Nougat devices so I updated Play Services to the latest beta and still no GA. So, what do you know, what do you hear?? My wife and son really want GA but want to stay stock. Their tired of me messing with their phones.
Running stock, no root. Latest GPS and Google App and nothing

Thanks for the reply. Kind of strange that a weekend ago Google announced it wound start hitting capable phone starting last week in the US first yet it seems no one has received the update.
I'm on a Nexus 6P, never rooted, in the Beta program with 7.1.2. I'm also in the Google Play Services beta program. I have installed the Pixel Launcher from APK but otherwise stock. So far no Assistant. Live in the US.
Still no assistant here either. Are we missing something, or has Google not actually released the update like they said they would? I don't know of anyone that has actually received it to this point.
It's a server side switch and in typical Google form, they are turning it on very slowly. These trickle rollouts of new features are ridiculous. Either it's ready for release or it's not. If it is, release it to everyone. If it's not, then don't announce anything until it's ready.

I have been searching for anyone who has had it turned on. I follow a FB forum as well where every little update usually gets posted. Nothing there yet either. Hearing of others getting it turned on would at least be encouraging.

Thats what I was thinking. A week ago the tech sites were a buzz with "Google Assistant coming to most 6.0+ phones this week". Then nothing. All week. I'm still wondering a full week later why the tech sites are almost silent and no one is asking "Ok Google, what gives".

Someone in the FB group received Assistant about an hour after installing the latest Google App beta APK. I just tried it. Probably a coincidence, but at least someone has reported getting Assistant.
Isn't this linked to the google play services apk? If someone gets it, wouldn't posting the apk give it to all of us?

You have to have the correct Play Services but Google still has to "turn it on" on their end. That seems to be what is taking so long. As long as your Play Services are up to date you should be good. I entered the beta program for that as well. Still no Assistant though.
Mine was activated yesterday, right around the time I updated to the 7.1.1 March security patch. Don't know if there's a direct relation though.
I just got it today, I had everything updated and it showed up on its own.

Thanks for the replies everyone. Looks like we're very slowly but surely on our way. Still no GA love for the 2 stock 6P's in my house yet.
Edit: P.S. I didn't start this thread to complain, I was just wondering if I was the only one not receiving the GA update. I can only imagine what a mind blowing amount of mega giga google flops of computing power it must take for what must be thousands (if not tens of thousands) of questions per second via voice, interpret it, then send the answer back. All within a second or 2. For the thousands or tens or thousands of users asking/interacting at the same time. Mind boggling. It's probably a very slow rollout to be able to keep up and ramp up for the onslaught until they get a full picture of what the new computing/server farm needs will be.
My Nexus 6 has it, my wife's 6p does not.

Just got it guys. Running LOs, Google app ver. 6.13.25.21, and Google Play Services ver. 10.2.99, location Kosovo. It feels great not to do so many workarounds just to have it
East coast rolled out 32GB.
Still Waiting as well
I am still waiting as well. February 5 Security Patch, Google(Beta) 6.14.14.21.arm and Play Services 10.2.98.
Like so many others I signed up for Play Services Beta, but unlike the others I never got a bump up (update), and Still have not received the March Security Update.
But I swear if I don't side load most things from Google I am the last to get them.
Any particular preference here. Only difference I see is that Samsung's allows videos to play in preview form.
(btw neither will play videos in original form beyond :10sec...which I knew but it's the same if using YouTube or Google Links.
Sucks
Ive been using Textra for the past year or so. I did try Samsung's for a little bit when I first got the phone but ended up going back to Textra. The stock Android one is pretty terrible, IMO.

I like the interface, the customizability, and the fact that it doesn't break long messages up. There's probably a slew of others that I'm not aware of too.

This. I've been using it non-stop since discovering it on my Note 4. It is far superior to Samsung's offering, IMO.
I used 8sms before but its not working properly with nougat now, I've been using mood messenger lately it's good. Try it out.

Textra is amazing. +1
Next sms....best popup in the business. IMHO.
Between the two, I prefer Android. Admittedly, it's mostly because I can send more pictures per message. I send a ton of messages to my parents of my kids, etc. It also works better (imho) with Google Assistant.

Why do you say that? The only thing I see that separates VZW messages + is it works/syncs with your other VZW devices. I used it for a while with my tablets and watches. Also it was one of the very few apps that allowed scheduling texts. But also one of the few that didn't allow blocking texts. I don't use it anymore. Dumped it for Sammy messages app. I really enjoy the Bixby integration.

I think it also does things like suggest emojis for predictive text, if you want to be one of the kewl kids. I thought it was sort of interesting at first, but at my age the kids would just roll their eyes

I say this because I like it better than Samsung's offering. I don't care about blocking texts, as I don't find myself in the need for something that does that. I've also found that it works a lot more quickly on my Note 4. I always had a bit of lag with the Samsung messenger.
And I do love the integration with other devices. I have it installed on all of my computers, tablets, etc. It works well on any device.

Personally i use Samsung. I use digits, and with the built in integration between dialer, digits, rcs, and their app moving away and using something else breaks how well it works for me.
