I think I am?? I can definitely see when a message is delivered and read. I thought those were both features of RCS
I have Tmo phone and when I go to message settings/chat settings have options to send read receipt and share typing indications, so I believe those 2 are RCS functions, just called chat. I find them completely useless for me and disabled them promptly, but if you need it, they seem to be implemented on Tmo branded phone, but I don't know if they actually work.
This is what I'm getting

I wonder if it's possible for you to get tmb/tmb/tmb under service provider?
Did you get the recent update from TMobile?
If not what does it say when you check your updates in settings.
Edit: I'm a dummy. Could just read your screen shot.
Did you get the newest update over the air?

Okay. I was curious if it was hitting you with the unauthorized software error
Yeah. I dunno. Personally I would try to Odin the latest stock image of the carrier build and use the CSC that wipes (not home_csc). See if that has any affect. If you were in the mood to troubleshoot, depending on how important it is to you.

TMB/TMB/TMB is T-Mobile device
TMB/TMB/XAA is unlocked device flashed with T-Mobile rom.
The last part (XAA) will always be XAA on an unlocked device.
As to the original question:
Delivery and Read receipts are working between the 3 Note 10+ devices the family has here. All from T-Mobile (TMB/TMB/TMB).

Someone else will have to answer that part as I don't know enough on the technical part of that and how the services work with the provider themselves to answer. I did do an edit to indicate my T-Mobile devices all appear to be working for the RCS features of delivery and read receipts.

Normally T-Mobile is on the forefront of updates in my opinion. All 3 other carriers have gotten their App2SD update.
Still hard to believe Verizon released an update before TMO.

Not just the other 3 carriers. AT&T, Verizon, Sprint, Canada version, and BOTH international versions. T-Mobile i guess just doesn't care about the Galaxy S4. which is their BEST flagship phone for now. Doesn't it make sense to support it with major updates like Apps2SD? But, no worries. after 1 week of waiting for t mobile, I just rooted AGAIN and installed a i9505 ROM.
Do we really need ANOTHER thread whining about this?
No one here on XDA can do anything about the OTA update. We can help you get teh features from the unreleased OTA on your phone now. But if you want to OTA, complain about it on the T Mobile forums.

Who cares? Just rock a rooted phone then unroot when it comes out. App 2 SD is so easy to get.

When I talked to T-mobile yesterday, they told me they were waiting for samsung to send them the update. Other users are saying that were told it will be released august or september.
But there arent any roms that I have seen that have both Wifi Calling and Apps2SD. If you know of a rom that has this please enlighten me.
I don't think any of them have both yet. Because Wi-Fi calling is a T-Mobile feature. But, since I don't really need it, I can settle for just Apps2SD
Sent from my SGH-M919 using XDA Premium HD app
Why not just move to a carrier that doesn't suck at your house? Other wise just stop complaining? T-mobile gives you wifi calling so you can go through your normal daily lives....other carriers do not.
We should KNOW by now that T-mobile is still not the frontline of receiving updates from samsung. It goes through the popular services and than gets to t-mobile last. We see this time and time again, so i'm not sure why the complaints. Tmobile will be at the backline of everything just like international is on the front line of everthing, will this be always? let hope not.
So either be greatful for the wifi calling feature and wait around...or deal with it or move carrier.
I can flash international roms, so frankly I do not care one way or the other

Here's an idea. Root your phone, keep all the TMobile crap, and uninstall whatever you want. If you want a smoother experience, flash Ktoonz kernel.
Tmobile's not coming out with an update that's gonna be smoother than Ktoonz kernel. Bet that.

I did complain to them that their May 7 OTA was laggy and not acceptable as-is - plus lack of app-to-sd. They just sweep it under the rug - plus the "posters" there - what planet do they live on - lol? Or amybe all TMO employees..
In the meantime, Omega 9 with KT and ditto Wicked 5.1 with WiFi calling are doing just fine.

Not hardly, since I am chatting online.
how many feakin apps are you people putting on your phone. I have about 6GB free on my phone at all times, get a 64GB, root, flash something other than stock rom and be done with it. Stock ROM is a huge piece of poop anyway. Never seen so much Lag
OK, seriously people. I will be watching this thread. If anyone gets a notification of a new update, please give us a heads up as soon as you can.
I am fine running stock ROM, but Android 4.3 is very tempting. Too bad it is so unstable ATM.

Thats not an official explanation for this instance, it was written a year and a half ago. Its a blanket statement that explains nothing that pertains to what the hold up this time is.

That is something about Android fans. Some are way too OCD about their updates. I wonder if Windows phone users do the same?
So, I got accepted into the Samsung pay beta, and I'm supposed to open the pay app, and its supposed to give me the option to install the app.
However, all I get is the same screen telling me it's coming soon.
I have a call in to Samsung pay support, but she had to escalate it to a higher tech to try and figure out what's wrong.
Anyone else in the beta have issues getting the app installed?

Kevin: yes

In my case I think I might have figured out the problem... I needed to exchange my phone. I think the invitation to the beta was coded to my old IMIE number, and not my new one. So maybe that is the problem. I went into my Samsung account and deactivated my old phone, but I have a feeling it is too late. I doubt I will get another invite... though I might, who knows.

2.) Twistie Treats - they had a magnetic reader fed by a wire into an iPad

Otherwise, it worked great everywhere else. My first try was at our local supermarket. Worked there easily. Then onto Saturday night partying and drinking. I was playing around with our waitress all night and at the end in my drunken state I said let me come up to your terminal and pay with my phone. She thought I was full of crap (since I was rather drunk) but she was shocked when it authorized the transaction.
Let's see, I had another place tell me we don't accept mobile payments yet. I told her that this one you will and she was like

I believe the pixel comes bootloader unlocked everywhere but verizon. I need to verify that thanks.
Or maybe comes bootloader locked but a code will be provide it by google to unlocked it everywhere but verizon.

I sure do hope the bootloader is able to be unlocked on vzw i like having the option even if i dont use it
sticky shi..., bootloader must be unlocked, especially for that price.
Anyway, I do not need Android phone without root.
There's a statement from Deutsche Telekom answering a query from a German tech blogger that Pixels bought via that provider will also be bootloader not unlockable.
I still doubt that cause they haven't done that before. We'll see and cross our fingers...

They even said it doesn't support T-Mobile video calling but it does and also has duo preinstalled. You can test it out. Throw it in airplane mode and turn on wifi. You can't place a video call unless you use the duo app. If you turn cellular back on you can use the dialer built in one.

You didn't get the last update? Should have had one since the device was released.

So you are on T-Mobile also? I don't remember hearing others but the T-Mobile version getting an update.

Yup, this is my 3rd Z2 Force. The other ones had an update, I just didn't remember the details.
This one I have had since October 3rd, got it from a physical corporate T-Mobile store, no updates since I have had it.
I even tried swapping the SIM card hoping it would Kickstart something
Is anyone still on the initial release build with the baseband listed on tmo's website? [M8998TMO_04.17.01.76R]
If so, could you boot into fastboot mode and do "fastboot getvar all" from terminal?
I'd like the "ro.build.version.full" value so I can try to find the first OTA to NCX26.122-49.
I'm still stuck on the June 1, 2017 security patch. T-Mobile Z2 Force, have been using the phone for almost a month. No update.
I am still on June 1st with a Tmo Z2 Force

Well it would seem odd T-Mobile's update won't flash with unlocked bootloaders but Sprint's will. Sprint's users are on September security patch now...
Edit: if you look at OP's hyperlink, you'll see TMobile says only original software is currently available...

If you at the source of the update file it belonged to Lenovo. Also with the amount of people who have troubles with texts and notifications Motorola could have pull it themselves.
Sprint version firmware is different than T-Mobiles and isn't a good gauge. It's not like the whole 6P thing going on.

Yes, version is different, but the only logical explanation is either Lenovo or Tmo pulled the update since other models are updating fine and users were getting the update until recently, but other phones are still able to update to August and September security updates.
Did I just buy a stolen Pixel 2 XL? http://www.imeipro.info/check_lg.html is giving the following info

If it were stolen and "blacklisted", I doubt the device would be working fine.
Unless "blacklisted" is only effective for use in the USA, as Google suggests.
Google:
............... Blacklisted phones can’t be used in the United States, but some companies can unlock them for international use.

I would return to the shop and show them what you've discovered.

is there any way to tell if this phone was bought directly from google or via a carrier? In the USA or somewhere else?

That's too bad. I guess you have no other recourse.
I would contact Google, giving them the IMEI and serial number and ask what info they can provide.

Mine is a Verizon phone purchased form UAE, it also shows blacklisted but it works just fine. I receive monthly updates without any problem, even adb sideloaded android pie full OTA when it got released. Main issue with mine is that I cannot unlock its bootloader so obviously can't root it but i believe you can unlock yours and root it.

Oh! I didn't think of that!
That is something to consider.
I guess I'm out of suggestions.

If it's working and it says it's blacklisted, it's probably a U.S. only thing as Google suggests.
Clearly someone managed to get Google financing and stopped making payments. So no, you didn't buy a stolen phone. Anyway, the blacklist carriers use here in the United States is only effective if the phone itself is in the US. In your case, where you are in Pakistan, the device will work normally even though it's blacklisted.
For a period of time there was talk of every carrier worldwide using the same blacklist, which would really ruin your day. As of now, obviously nothing has come of it.
Generally a IMEI will only be blacklisted in the country it was reported stolen.
