Have you try other messager?

 

[Gus_Gutz]

I have lots of problems using Android messenger with my U11. I would see that there is a message and it says download failed. I would then switch over to Verizon messenger and I could retrieve the failed message. Maybe you have the same problem on the u12

Have you tried downloading this app?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.ims

It's Google's carrier services plug-in. Maybe it will help?

This is a carrier services app straight from Google for the Android framework and I posted the description right below it as to what it does

Sorry I should have asked a better question. What I'm try to figure out is this... I do not have this app on my TMobile Note8, I'm wondering if there would be any benefit to installing it. For example, I keep reading everywhere that TMobile supports RCS, however we have never actually noticed any of those features working on either mine or my wife's Note8, could this be why?

I think we (TMO customers) have to wait until they switch over to the Universal Profile that Google introduced last year(?). Right now TMO is using it's own proprietary flavor of RCS. Which very few OEMs support.

But even THAT doesn't work for my wife and I. I don't see any "typing notifications" etc.. even though everything is turned on and Samsung supports it.

Yeah I have no idea. Especially since it's a Samsung (not a fan). Have you read this( https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-30170 ) Maybe that'll help you.
