Delivery confirmation using stock messaging app - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions & Answer

I noticed that I only show my texts as delivered using the stock messaging app when I send to another samsung phone. When I send to my wife's iPhone it just shows the time it was sent. I have all the settings enabled. Used textra on my previous phone (N6) with no issues. Thanks.

Tmobile to tmobile has advanced messaging which shows sent and read if they seen it.

I'm on t-mobile and so is my wife's 6s plus.

Only on certain devices is it enabled like the g5, note 5, s6, s7/edge. And a few others. I phone isn't supported yet. Better to use hangout if you want an imessage like sms

IPhone doesn't co exist with android
when we face our problems, they dissappear. So, learn from failure and let success be the silent incentive

Thanks. I was just looking for a sms/mms delivery confirmation. Textra does this. The stock messages app doesn't.

The stock messaging app does do this. In the messaging app settings>more settings>Text messages. Enable delivery reports.

I have those settings enabled and the only time it worked is when I texted another samsung phone. Did not work texting any other phones.

[Trick] How to send SMS using your beloved Tab!

Am not sure if this is discussed somewhere.
Anyway, just to share.
Here's how:
Every mobile broadband card comes with a number, and that number will be used when you send / receive SMS.
- Download official Go SMS Pro here and install on your tablet
- Launch the app and send SMS to your other mobile number that you are using to make calls
- The sender number is what your friends will see when they read your SMS from Tab!
Enjoy
On European 3G devices, there is a stock app called Messages, so i don't think that third party app is needed.
For those with the wifi only version , check out TexTab.

Until Verizon releases Touchwiz for the LTE versions, this seems like a good alternative. I'm going to test it now.
EDIT: Does not work on mine, says "cannot send message, will send it when the service becomes available" and that message sits there forever until I uninstalled it.
That's because verizon blocks text messaging with their tablet plans.

Interesting... Strange that they advertise it as a capability, and plan on including it with their touchwiz update.

Yea I work for verizon and whenever I sell a tablet, a provision is loaded onto their account called "block text messaging". It's very odd indeed since the original galaxy tab allowed you to pick a texting bundle.

I simply use Google Voice on my wifi Tab. Works perfectly.

I been using Heywire and it works well, gave me a regular US number.
If anyone has a 3G tab with Touchwiz, but no Messages app. Try to send a sms to your data plan number, i think that the Messages app appeared after i received the first sms message from my operator.

[Q] No Group messaging for Att?! Should I root ?

Will rooting my g2 allow me to have group text messages ? This feature isn't on the ATT models which is gay and no 3rd party apps won't work either for some reason..

I have Verizon and group mms does not work for me. Didn't work with my S4 either.
Textra works tho and looks much better.
Just install Handcent SMS. I have been using it for a long time. rooted or not, it just works.
Is Textra Seamless with G2 with ATT

Does Textra work seamlessly? Pop up notifications? alerts for new/unread messages? etc. I was hoping to see a video online of how it works but so far no luck. Any word on if KitKat 4.4 will fix this problem for G2 users on the ATT network?

It's the xposed module and yes it does work. Somewhere in the settings, I can't remember. I think it's in the security hacks section of xposed.
It is in wanam under security.
Does anyone know if AT&T's statement regarding allowing video chat apps that come preloaded on AT&T phones to once again work over their mobile network by the end of 2013 applies to Google Hangouts? I know they were addressing the outrage associated with them blocking Facetime...but it seems like it should apply to Hangouts also. I can't get an answer from AT&T, everyone I've talked to with customer service didn't even know what Google Hangouts was.
Note 3 -- Tapatalk version [HORRIBLE.1x]
It seems like Hangout uses the actual phone number from the carrier to send and receive SMS even though it was my Google Voice number that was confirmed after the update. I have tried sending SMS from Hangout but my friend did not receive it on the other end.
I had AT&T blocked all text messages since switching to Google Voice when they told me that they would only offer unlimited text message plan. Yea, I was annoyed enough to go change my number on all my friend's contact list. SMS from AT&T itself isn't blocked and those are the ones that show up in Hangout.
The latest Hangouts update allows me to use over mobile data BTW.

Sweet I just checked mine and mine works too. Awesome

What SMS app do you use?

Hey guys. With the new hangouts there are a lot of the features from previous SMS apps missing. Like the quick pop up reply from notification menu and multiple contacts.
I like hangouts and to be honest I'd like to use just one app only. Using Textra and it is awesome but can I uninstall hangouts and just use Textra on its own? What you guys use

I use google voice, barely any improvements, very buggy. But I haven't found anything better for texting thru voice. Also kakaotalk which is very bloated. I want a clean app that has option to send/not send push notifications. Know any?
I'm glad u said Hangouts is mandatory, I hate that. Can't we revert back to an older version and not be forced to use proprietary crap.
Hangouts is NOT mandatory, you can use any texting app you want.

Yea totally not Mandatory I used it for a week or so as my default sms application but then i switched back to the regular that came with the phone.
I use Hangouts. Its functional and full featured. The only annoying thing is that convos with the same person are separated by SMS and IM hangouts.

Enable RCS on SM-N9860 Note20 Stock Messaging App

If your carrier supports RCS, you can follow this video to enable it on your Hongkong / Taiwan Galaxy Note 20 Ultra.
For those who don't know what RCS is, it's a feature where you can send original quality photos, video and other large supported files using your phones messaging app. It's like iMessage.
What does it do really, with rcs

You will be able to send uncompressed photos, videos and other large supported files thru the messaging app. It's like iMessage.
It also works for unlocked device on U1 firmware on T-Mobile.

For them to support it natively. Should not need google messages, as Samsung messages supports it, as long as the network provider has Universal advanced messaging.

I'm on verizon, was using google messages for chat, but turned it off. I'm missing too many messages. People will call and ask me if I got them, I check and status in chat just says "connecting". Have to force close and open messages again to connect, but the missed messages never make it through.
That's good to hear. I was wondering why I was missing messages, here and there. I thought it was due to something else.

Yeah, I simply don't like samsung messages because the screen lights up every time someone texts me. My kids have prying eyes. I know I can put a lock screen on, but it still lights up. I hate that.

I'm very sorry for how this may sound..... BUT, you know you can change the "light- up" settings per each app in your settings right? Your phone doesn't have to light-up for each text message you receive, or any other app for that matter.
