For reasons I cannot determine, my Note 2 will stop receiving phone calls and texts.
Callers will here my phone ring on their end, but my Note 2 will not ring. Text messages will not come through either.
Making a call from my phone or rebooting will fix the problem; 20 missed texts will come at once and the phone will ring again.
The problem is, 1) that it happens at all, and 2) there is no indication when it does happen.
At&t has reset my network and exchanged the sim card, to no avail.
Has anyone else run into this problem?
Thanks!
Just asking, you say stock phone, but are you using the stock messaging app?

I am using Handcent. I considered that could be the issue, but would that affect the phone calls also?

I had to dump handset, it was messing up stuff for me. Went back to stock messaging, will just have to find a pop up add on for it.

Then I will give that a try.
Thank you Astom.

Also screws up Avast, at least that's what Avast states during setup.

I was having this issue on stock for two different reasons. 1) I disabled the at&t messaging app in the manage applications menu area. 2) I had a bad sim card.
Now I think issue number one was also because of issue number 2 because after the new sim card I had no problems disabling the at&t messaging app. The whole problem is you won't know unless you are sending yourself test messages form another phone. Good luck.
I forgot the other thing it was doing with the bad sim was not allowing me to use the internet while on a phone call, it was completely dropping data on a phone call so no text messages either.
I have a stock Verizon Note 4, baseband version N910VVRU2CPF3, & am using it on t-mobile. T-mobile customer support says my settings are correct, however, I can neither send nor receive MMS messages. Sending them just locks up, and received messages have a big "Download" button that does nothing. Can anyone tell me what to do to fix this? Thanks!
What app are you using for MMS? I was using the Verizon messaging app and had issues on T-Mobile similar to what you are experiencing. I switched to goo GH le messenger and also tried textra. Both work fine on T-Mobile network. Good luck

You have to change the message service number. But with Verizon . They have locked the menus to get to it. The only way I have found it to root the phone.

DID you manually entered tmobiles APN info or did T-Mobile flash it for you when you switched over ? I have mine on Cricket and nothing worked (data or MMS ) until I manually added the APN info as far as the option being locked out that wasn't the case on my phone . the option was in settings/ more setting/ cellular data / access point names. It is found in the 3 dot menu top right hand corner . the actual APN info can be found by google searching apn geisha . hope that helps

I originally ordered and used the S8+ on T-Mobile. I wasn't happy with the service, returned the device after using it for a week and a half and went back to Verizon and i'm noticing differences between the 2 different carrier phone model (which i expected to see).
The S8+ on T-Mobile allowed me send SMS messages (using the native Samsung Message app) that were as long as i wanted and they did not get broken up. On my new Verizon S8+ all incoming and outgoing messages are cut up and sent individually. On the T-Mobile version, there were settings in the Message app to change the different SMS settings and coding and that are missing on the Verizon model. I even enabled and used the terrible Verizon Messages app to see if i could make changes there, but there were no options there either.
Does anyone know how this can be fixed, or better yet, if it CAN be fixed? It's kind of frustrating. And Google provided no help except threads like this that were started and never completed with an answer.

You could try a different texting app. I use Textra and it gives you some options for split SMS. It may or may not solve your issue.

Yeah i'm noticing all of the nice little quirks now
The thing is i had them before for a few years and had the S5, S6 and iPhones, but i never had this problem with any of them. "Superior" network with annoying compromises.

I'll give that one a try. I switched to Android Messages and i think it's solved, haven't gotten to test it too much with non-iPhone users.

I love Textra but not working for me. I have the Verizon S8+ on Tmobile. Can only get stock and the Verizon Messaging app to work. Textra does not work for me at all, especiaally sending photos.....

That sucks. I know that SMS and MMS can be tricky. May have something to do with carriers. I have had to mess around with using different ones in different situations. I was using Chomp for a while with good results, but had to swap to Textra which has been doing well for me for my last 2 phones. Using Verizon on Verizon.

I've been using it for 2 days now and i love the app, but it still doesn't fix my issues unfortunately. Still receiving a bunch of mixed up messages

I am not having that issue. When someone send me a long message, it actually turn into an mms and I'm seeing it as 1 long message.
I also don't like the Verizon app, I want to use the native app. My native app works but the latest update wakes the screen on incoming SMS every single time no way to shut off. Very annoying, stuck using Verizon app for now as well. Have posted a thread here about that https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8+/help/screen-wake-incoming-sms-verizon-s8-t3594258 Also have opened a ticket with Samsung about that issued and Verizon community. Will see if it gets fixed with OTA patch. I have seen this before on beta builds on S7 edge, very annoying.
Also noticed they locked out the engineering menu, I mean come on Verizon. While I like the network way way way better than Sprint, this thing is locked and locked again.
I have been using the Android Messages app for a couple months now on my HTC M9. Just got this S8+ about a week ago. Hate the Samsung messages app. No individualized options for each person. The Verizon SMS app... well, it's the Verizon app, enough said. I have really liked the Android Messages on this now. No problems with sending short or long texts, or sending media. Seems to work the best out of all i've seen with the most options or features.
Does anyone know if Verizon killed RCS messaging features in the stock Samsung messages app? I'm not getting read receipts, typing notifications etc

I don't think Verizon supports RCS messaging, last i read they had no plans to implement it. Also, i don't remember Samsung having support for it either. I could be wrong, but that's what i remember.

Those options only work in the Verizon messaging app, it may only be limited to others also using the Verizon messaging app to message you, maybe someone can test it to verify. But I can indeed verify typing notifications and read receipts do working in the Verizon messaging app.
What's crazy is the other carriers support RCS messaging.... Like tmobile

AT&T does as well, but it's limited to within the carrier. Same for T-Mobile. And Verizon has it in their Messages+ app (which sucks).
Pixel 2 XL (unlocked) on the T-Mobile network. I can send messages without an issue and everything else works fine, but when I attempt to text pictures or receive them it hangs and eventually comes back stating it couldn't send. This has happened through the messages app and Textra. I was able to send and receive via Chomp, but that's it.
Anybody else see this happening and if so, have you been able to fix it? I've cleared cache and data, restarted the phone and reset defaults for network.
THANKS!!!

I have that issue sometimes on my N6 and 6p and it appears to be the WiFi calling. Turning off WiFi resolves the issue when that happens to me. I also read that 3rd party sms apps can't send mms when WiFi calling is active on t-Mobile. I normally use the stock sms app for this reason.

Yeah, I'm still looking around. Not sure why it's being difficult. Wi-Fi calling doesn't look to be an option that I'm seeing in settings. And I turned off WiFi and it still wouldn't send. But using Chomp it went right through.

WiFi calling needs to be turned on, and the carrier needs to support it. It's under advanced WiFi

Just sending the pic with wifi off - no wifi calling enabled - worked for me.

Me too. Textra even has a setting that will turn wifi off temporarily when sending or receiving MMS. It's under MMS, then Legacy. Then, there is a toggle to turn wifi off.
Hi guys. I know this is not Note 10 specific but it's great news nonetheless. Someone figured out how to activate RCS messaging and it works. ?
For those who don't know what RCS is, it's basically like iMessage for Android.
Here is the 9 to 5 Google article: https://9to5google.com/2019/10/26/enable-rcs-android-messages/
And here is a tutorial from Jeff Springer over on YouTube:
Spread the news guys it should work on any Android phone carrier. I'm currently in Canada and got it to work.
Enjoy?
confirm, working :good: :good:
Got it working on my Verizon note 10+
I got it working too...I think. Don't know anyone else with it haha
configured as well on my ATT Note 10+; however, replies to group messaging arrived as separate (or new) text messages and not part of the group. Fix for me was to disable the option to "Use WiFi data for messaging when available". Anyone else experience similar behavior? Thanks.

True lol
Works in Malaysia too. But no one here is using it.
Couldn't activate it here in Iran
Stuck in verifying my phone!
Edit: nope it's working and connected!
But no one is using it
I was able to do it on my Samsung-direct unlocked SD Note 10+ on T-Mobile, but when I restarted my phone later it went away and isn't coming back even when replicating the steps. It now says your carrier doesn't support this feature when I go into the Message app settings. I have the Carrier Settings app downloaded from Play Store as well.
Got it connected here. Followed the directions but had some issues with the phone number verification stage. Disabling wifi and trying again helped.
I am not sure if it is actually working though. Every message I send is either a sms or mms, even if I send it back to myself. At least one of my friends it should be going through as a chat message.

You can't send to yourself. Just ask your friend to enable it.
why is all this hype about the RCS? we already have tons of instant messaging apps (most importantly WhatsApp) that surpass the RCS in many ways.
From Romania and got it to work ! N976B
Weird.. I'm on T-Mobile and it's been working for me up to this point.. Now things are being sent as SMS all of a sudden. Still shows as connected though.. Weird..
Never mind.. My buddy I was messaging must be having issues. He's on Sprint but has been able to use RCS without any hacks and using the default Samsung Messaging app .. Weird.
so you never had it before? I had this since the start of the year. My son's Note 9, my wife's and daughter's S10 and my N10+ has this without jumping through those hoops. Just download google messages, it gives an option for RCS and that's it.
All our phones are unlocked Snapdragons so I'm not sure if that matters but you all should just download the google messages app first before doing all that crap for RCS.
I tried it and it worked on my Note 10+ but for some reason my son using his iphone 11 Pro Max couldn't send me any pictures through text and wasn't receiving any i sent.. I switched back to the stock Samsung message app and we could both send and receive txt and pictures?? I'm guessing AT&T has setup as I can send a txt to my buddy using my Note 10+ and I believe he has Galaxy s10 and using the stock messaging app I can see when its delivered, read, and when he types..
Working for me. But I got nobody use it with so far

Thanks, even if a would rather have RCS with the native app.
For some reason for the life of me I can't get this to work. Anybody have any tips or tricks. I have read the instructions over and over again and still can't get it to work.
after set up and working, can activity launcher be uninstalled?
