I'm unlocked, had Sprint sim with all features. Yesterday I went with T-Mobile SIM, and I'm missing features.
RCS does work with Google Messages but not Samsung messenger. I attempted to do the IMS SETTING but all apps fail to open, also Alliance app is down.
I had something similar. Removed my number from googles chat service via the website. Cleared carrier services and messages data and cache fixed it. Took a day or two for it to reregister and give me the rcs toggle again. Once it did I enabled it for Google messages. Then stock messages. Been good ever since.
Everyone with unlocked on TMOB is on a holding pattern for carrier released RCS in messages. The current "hack" is on hold because the app manager portion requires knox and they lost their license.

I use google voice. I've deactivated it and reactivated it. Neither services have any voicemails. How can I just delete the notification? I've also tried leaving a message then deleting it and nothing.
my previous phone was a nexus 1 and when i came back to wp7 i first deactivated gvoice on google's end and it still never reverted back to my old voicemail settings. i wound up having to go into the att store and have my voivemail re-provisioned.

I don't know if this has been common knowledge or not, but it is possible to send/receive sms on the tablet if you have a fully operational line on your sim card. Data only won't work. But, if you take the sim from your phone and put it in, you can indeed text.
Hangouts doesn't work, I'm assuming because they restrict the sms feature from tablet-specific versions. But, I did find an app that happily sends/receives texts.

MMS isn't working for me, I don't know if it's a limitation of the app or my apn not being proper(I did set it to have the correct mmsc info).
Maybe someone can get a hangouts app from a phone and sideload it onto their tablet to test that out.
I'm able to send and receive SMS on my LTE table, I use the built in messages app.
^Must be a difference in the US and EU variations then, because there is no option for SMS in the US version that I could find.
Hangouts?
I use 8sms on consumer cellular sim, data&txt in Colorado. Uses either tmo or att
Textra works great as well.
Until I was able to disable at&t all access (pre loaded bloatware on my U.S. model ) it was the SMS app even on the consumer cellular Sim.

Can I ask how you did this?
I let the att app update. Then in app properties it was able to disable like normal apps!
Anyone else use Google Voice as your voicemail service provider on the ZE551KL / Z00TD with firmware 1.16.40.763? And if so, do you also get the "Unfortunately the process com.android.phone has stopped" error message when changing the Service from "Your carrier" to "Google Voice"?
Best as I can figure, it's a bug in the system firmware, not an issue with GV. Under Call settings > Voicemail > Setup, you can change your VM number to GV and as long as you never change the Service option, GV works just fine (but you won't get notifications of new voicemail).
Also, I think this is somehow related to another issue I posted about (in the wrong sub-forum, though, and a mod never moved it) where messages (SMS or MMS) wouldn't come through unless I sent one first. Folks would send me messages and I'd never see them. They were never delivered and they didn't come in late. If I sent out a message, though, messages would come in just fine (doesn't matter who I sent it to, either). After a certain amount of time (not sure how much, but definitely overnight) or a phone reboot it's back to missing messages. None of this happens as long as I don't change the voicemail Service to GV.
I suppose the messages issue could be my carrier, though they worked with me several times to test the SMS/MMS issue and they see them as delivered on their end. I don't think the GV issue is my carrier. I have Cricket (AT&T MVNO) in the US. I'd appreciate hearing from anyone else who uses GV, see if you're having the same issue.
Okay, another symptom: I have to use the default ASUS text messaging apps or messages don't come through.
I have tried both Google Messenger and Textra. After setting as the default, I rebooted and had test messages sent to me. Nothing. Setting the ASUS app back to default and rebooting has messages coming through immediately (but I stil never received the ones that were sent before).
The default ASUS app reports the user's name and then "SIM 1", so I'm wondering if it has anything to do with the dual SIMs. Anyone using a different default SMS app?
I have no idea if this is a phone related issue, but I get no notifications whatsoever when I receive a voicemail ... no LED, no sound notification, no tape icon ... NOTHING.
I was stunned when I dialed my voicemail today and had 19 messages dating back to February.
I'm on a rooted S5 with Android 5.0.
I have checked all the notification areas and don't have anything turned off.
Has anyone ever heard of something like this?
Have you logged into the Verizon voicemail app? If you haven't logged into that, then it may not forward the messages. I've had that issue in the past.
did you you use another voice service provider and are you using a verizon stock rom ?
Thanks. I'm using the stock rom posted for the Lollipop root method. I ended up getting on Verizon support chat. It took 45 minutes, but the agent said he "synced my phone and put voicemail on it from his end." It still doesn't show up as an app on my phone, but it does now notify me. Anybody have a Verizon Visual Voicemail apk for the s5 on 5.0?
Assuming you are using a ported rom like TOXIC or PureNote, you should be receiving texts to alert you, instead of the usual method.
If you are on the stock ROM, then the visual voicemail app is built in.

This problem just started occurring to me last week. A co-worker called me and said my voice mail wasn't set up.. I didn't even know she left me a voice mail! I had to re set-up my voice mail and now I'm not getting voice mail notifications either.
I'm on the stock rom, 4.4.4 ; my voice mail app is 3.0.6 (according to titanium backup) and hadn't been updated in months...
2021 - FINAL UPDATE: A new method is out! Check out the new thread!
UPDATE 2: /u/poptamale on Reddit found a possible solution! Check it out.
UPDATE: With Android 11, you can't acess the IMS Settings menu (Step 8) on Snapdragon devices only. Let's hope someone finds a new way soon! (Exynos is still ok).
Hello everyone.
I was able to enable RCS on my Galaxy S20+ (EXYNOS) and make it possible to chat with people using Google Messages. So that means I connected to Google's Jibe RCS.
These are the steps I followed to make it work (must follow step-by-step):
1. Download and install Google Messages.
2. Open Google Messages and enable Chat Features.
3. Download and install Carrier Services.
4. Download and install Phone by Google.
5. After confirming that Chat Features have been enabled in Google Messages, launch Samsung Messages.
6. Set Samsung Messages back to the default Messaging app.
---
EXYNOS only:
7. Launch Phone by Google. Set it as default Dialler app.
8. At the dialler, type: *#*#467#*#* or *#77467#
9. IMS Settings will open automatically.
SNAPDRAGON only: (thanks to /u/poptamale)
7. Download and install any Activity Launcher from the Play Store. (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rrivenllc.shieldx).
8. Search for IMS Settings.
9. Go to "Activities" and tap on the first option to open IMS Settings.
---
10. Go to "IMS Service Switch". Turn on "RCS Switch". Turn on all the features under the "RCS" category.
11. Go back. Go to "RCS Configuration". Make sure both options are set to "Always Connect".
12. Allow the permissions for Carrier Services and Samsung Messages.
13. Force stop and Clear data for Carrier Services and Samsung Messages.
14. Open Samsung Messages and check if "Chat settings" or "Advanced messaging settings" have appeared in Settings.
15. Restart your device!
16. Open Samsung Messages and wait 2-5minutes.
17. Samsung Messages has been connected to Google Jibe. Congratulations!
18. You may uninstall Google Messages and Phone by Google. Don't uninstall Carrier Services.
19. Tell your friends to install Google Messages, so you can chat through RCS!
I also made a video version of these steps:
The difference of this method with the others, is that it doesn't permanently disable (except when updating OS). In the cases when it disconnects, it will just connect again later (automatically). And most important, you can contact through the carrier's and Google's RCS at the same time.
I hope Samsung updates their Messages app, so we won't have to keep doing all this.
Please, let me know if it works for your devices, too. We can share with each other information and even improve this guide.
Thank you for your time!
I've been doing this for the past few months, with the only exception being that I didn't have to install either carrier services or Google messages. I'd just install phone by Google and do the aforementioned steps, followed by a restart and everything would work.
Interesting, what is preventing Samsung from officially supporting RCS then?
Doesn't work on S20 Exynos with OneUI 3. Chat option disappears each time.
Do you have a solution to get RCS all the time ?

The chat may disable/renable temporarily some times. It will disable permanently if you update the software or change the default messages app.
Did you switch to Samsung Messages as default before enabling RCS in IMS Settings?
in my samsung messages i can see people that also have RCS (they have little blue bubble next to their avatar), but when i go into settings, i don't quite have the same options as you do in your video.
for example, i don't have "Shared Image Quality", "Shared Video Quality", and "Select default messaging type" in my samsung messages options. another interesting thing, is that after downloading Carrier Services, the "Force Close" button is greyed out and i can't force close it. i also can't clear the cache on it as it is also greyed out. restarted the phone and the same thing.
now, some new features did show up in my settings like the "chat settings" option where i have "multimedia limit", "nickname in chats", "send read receipt", and "share typing indications" in there. but that's it. also, when i disable "chat features" in google messages settings, i still have the extra "chat settings" options in my samsung messages. so enabling anything through google messages doesn't seem to do anything. google phone app is the only one that seems to do anything. i'm on factory unlocked Galaxy S20 and on Tmobile carrier in the US and i'm still on Android 10
I tried this on a tmobile s21 ultra. For some reason access is denied for IMS settings for me. No activity launcher I tried was able to actually launch that activity.
Any suggestions?
Didnt work on S20 988B Exynos CUA8 VAU.
-IMS setting didn't appear with google phone.
-Used Alliance Shield X but still it didnt show in Samsung Messages.

I ran into the same issue
Does this enable it if your device is rooted with Magisk?
I did all the steps but it's not working, no blue bubbles and no rcs. I got a new option screen called advanced messaging appear in my messages settings though. I'm on at&t prepaid, android 11
