NOTE 20 Unlocked How To Get RCS And Carrier Features

[joeyjay]

I tried that but it never seemed to verify. I will try it again! (it used to work)

Hello and help?
I followed the steps and used Alliance. No Advances RCS.
Confused about which Carrier App to install, Magenta Hug or Google?
Unlocked Note 20 Ultra on Tmobile.
I installed Google Carrier services. Have the Google phone app. Not sure what "that one" refers to above....Google or Magenta Services?
Maybe it just takes awhile?
Rebooted several times. Phone got really warm..
Thanks in advance!

Doing the method I mentioned above got the advanced messages with chat but when I texted my other phones it didn't work , so as of now it's not working.

Yes same for me. Just never verifies so for now uninstalled it and went back to the default app with no RCS. Hopefully T-Mobile will get it turned on.

Going forward Tmobile versions will be using Google message app as stock so I'm wonder if sane will be for unlocked or Samsung going scrap their own message app eventually.

I am on am unlocked model now. It makes sense to only have 1 message app and as long as it works the way it is supposed to, that is fine. But even now, he Google Message app won't verify the number to setup chat services. Weird that in 2021 we are still struggling with issues like this on a mobile device from carriers.

Yeah I've heard some running into verification on google messages app, try clearing data and force stop the carrier service app then do same on google messages see if it gets it going

Any word on the carrier software? I know the unlocked software is using a different bootloader and I haven't found the carrier version with the new bootloader yet on Sammo

For the fellow AT&T users out there I wouldn't be to sad about not having "AT&T Advanced Messaging" in the Samsung messages app. Mainly because even though AT&T brags about having RCS 1.0 and even Universal Profile 1.0, they don't actually interconnect with any other carriers for now. Meaning you still don't get any of the advanced features unless the other person you're texting is on AT&T as well.

I'm just thankful us AT&T users with unlocked models finally got Wi-Fi calling with the Android 11 update (even my older S10+ U1 model got it with the Android 11 update). HD voice / VOLTE works (not saying that's a new thing). So Unless I'm forgetting something it's only "AT&T Advanced Messaging" that I don't get on my U1 model Note 20 Ultra. But since it's still a AT&T to AT&T customer only thing I don't care.

Sorry to bump an old thread, but I had some questions. I currently have an AT&T N20U. I am looking to upgrade and probably a 1TB S23U. But the 1TB only comes unlocked, and there are no Carrier 1TB options (Specifically need AT&T). I see I should still be able to get Wi-Fi calling on the unlocked device, but will I also have my Hotspot feature available on the unlocked device? I currently have over 512GB of stuff on my N20U between internal and SD storage, so I need the 1TB option, unfortunately.

TIA!
