Samsung Messages with RCS

[notforhire]

You can't have Samsung RCS on U1

I can attest. I have messages organized among 9 categories with Samsung. I wish I could have RCS on Samsung Messages. I'd use it. (U1 on AT&T)

You can now , in the past you couldn't except Sprint at the time .

as I said in a different place, my Samsung Messages shows RCS toggled on in Settings when Google is selected as Default. once I select Samsung as the Default, RCS disappears for me, at least on AT&T.

So this may or may not apply anymore: See if there is an Uninstall Updates under the top right three dots in App Info. Downgrade. Let Galaxy Store re-update it.

Otherwise ODIN and if that doesn't work, the backup might be no good. Re-export everything with 3rd party tools and set it up from scratch one app at a time starting with messages.

Out of ideas, especially above about carrier services which was a good suggestion.

There is no Uninstall Updates for my Samsung Messages. It's there for Google Messages.

Honestly, I don't have time to back everything up again, and then go through the whole process again. I can't deal without RCS on Samsung Messages. I just wish the orange dot notification would go away. It keeps showing me I can have RCS, but it always fails to register.

Clear data then force stop and see if it shows up
This is my s25u unlocked T-Mobile

What is going on over there?! First they want to kill S-Messages. Then they don't. And now Unlocked supports RCS?

This further cements my Samsung is becoming Google (no vision/direction). I digress.

My phone doesn't even have it installed anywhere. Not sure if I Shizuku'd it away or what. So this may or may not apply anymore: See if there is an Uninstall Updates under the top right three dots in App Info. Downgrade. Let Galaxy Store re-update it.

Carrier service didn't do anything for the Samsung message app , I tried that back in the day trying to get RCS with Samsung messages on unlocked, yes I agree it gets confusing now what Samsung is doing.

and this is mine on AT&T before setting Samsung as Default. this page disappears once I designate Samsung as Default.

if I clear data, then I wipe all of my settings, including my categories, yes?

It will but everything should repopulate again

"should" is doing an awful lot of work right there

I can't be
But I just did the clear data and Force stop and my messages repopulate now I don't have custom ringtones or anything

I'll think about it. If after clearing data I lose my categories, I'm very far out of luck (unless I can do a restore from Samsung Cloud and the categories are saved there).

Categories won't restore. That's an app data thing. I just went through all of this. It will only give you your message back in one file dump.


I also tried this from the SmartSwitch backup I made but that too didn't get recognized and so im just grateful I have my messages at the least. I can reconfigure the categories, ringtones, and wallpapers over time.

It's odd that they would add categories to their email management, but not their text messages.
