Anyone able to get enhanced messaging to work yet? If you are using Messages (Google Messenger) it is listed under advanced but it never completes.
It worked great on my Note 4. I like the ability to text over wifi.

Yes, it's working for me on my Sprint Galaxy S8 +. I did have trouble were it wouldn't work right away, had to wait like 24-48 hours after I activated the phone on my line for the system to provision it or whatever. Just keep trying and eventually it should complete and go through.
I use Android Messaging because the Samsung app supposed to have RCS and play nice with Android messages but when Ive sent messages from the Samsung app it acts like I dont have RCS at all
Doesn't work
I have had my phone for a few weeks but it still doesn't work. Every time I try it, it tells me Excuse the wait... Messages will let you know when this step is complete but it never completes.
Strange I was able to enable it on my wifes S8+ but mine will not enable. Tried clearing cache and uninstall and reinstall. Anyone else had this issue?
I chatted with TEP and Sprint, they sent me a new sim card and that didn't resolve it. I factory reset the phone twice and that didn't resolve it. I called Sprint and Sprint said to call Samsung.
Here is the definitive answer from Samsung "It is being rolled out in batches and certain versions of the phone have not received that update."

Hello, I've got a quick question to ask on behalf of a friend. I recently setup her verizon note 2 for ATT service via NET10 but the problem is when I call her from lets say my phone number (111)111-1111 it comes in as +11 1 111 11 11.
I've doubled checked the assisted dialing settings and their setup as they should, I've even tried the phone.apk from the ATT NOTE 2, along with telephony.apk files... all with no result. If anyone knows a solution please do feel free to post it as I'm not very smart with this type of issues when it comes to android but I'm starting to suspect its because this phone with a sim card isn't meant to be used locally but over seas.

I have the same setup and same problem. I've looked for 3 months and couldn't find a fix. And as of 2 days ago, i'm not longer able to recieve mms. I can send just fine but incoming keeps failing to download. I've tried several apn's and nothing seems to work. it's strange because it's been working fine past few months. Other than that, Net10 is great on this phone as long as you don't have to call CS for anything.

Also having this problem only if I return a call from a previous incoming call it fails because of the "+" prefix.

mine does the sane thing. so I have to either go into contacts or manually put the number. checked all my settings to make sure international calling wasn't causing the problem. I have no idea what's causing this.
I did find an apn that fixed my mms issue though.

You can solve the MMS issue by getting another messaging APP like TEXTRA and adding the MMS APN setting in it. It will work fine after that.

I fixed it by flashing an att note 2 ROM. I moved on from the note 2 since though.

I have the same problem, if anyone figures this out please tell us
So... I recently got a replacement used Fascinate for my original unit that had a shattered screen. It has GeeWiz 4.2.2 loaded on it and I really like it. Damn near perfect... except for one thing and I'm not even sure/don't think it's the phone/ROM.
My texting issue is related to MMS. I can send any text... short, extended/pages long, picture texts (MMS) and I can receive all except long texts. And it's only an issue with my wife. She can write a book. LOL After doing more testing with other people, it seems to be a thing with Pageplus and Verizon. My wife is on Pageplus. I'm on Verizon...for now. My son is also on Verizon and has the same issue. I had a friend who is also on Pageplus send me a long text and it failed too. If I have someone on Verizon send me a extended text (over 140 characters) and comes thru fine. Only Pageplus customers seem to have the issue and it's only to my phone. I can have my wife send a long text to a friend who on Verizon and it goes thru fine.
The failure is on the senders side too. The senders phone will says failed to send. I don't get anything on my end. This is only to my phone.
I've searched and haven't found but a couple of references to a similar problem and no solutions. One possible thing that I haven't followed up on yet is this.... This phone was on Pageplus. I activated it on Verizon. Verizon shows no issues on their end at all but I'm wondering if Pageplus still has something in their system from the previous owner with this ESN. It's only Pageplus people that have this issue sending texts to my phone. They can send to other Verizon phones. And this is only long/extended texts that are 140 characters or more. Short texts and picture texts work fine. Oh....and if the sender attaches a pic to the long text, I will receive it.
It really weird. Wondering if anyone has seen anything similar or has any ideas. My next step is to call Pageplus support to see if they can help. I was also going to re-activate my old phone to verify the problem goes away. I welcome any insights.
Mike
PS - Sorry this is my first post. Can't believe I've been on this board this long and haven't posted before but this is a daily stop for me for years now.

have you checked the settings in the "Messaging" app itself, seems I recall a converting sms to mms or some setting that deals with that...

I thought that had more to do with outgoing texts than incoming but I will try it later and report back.
So I looked in the settings of stock texting app and it doesn't have the "convert long sms to mms" option but I'm running 8sms in Default mode, which basically just themes the stock app and adds a couple more setting/features....one of which IS "convert long sms to mms". It was doing this before I started using 8sms so it's not the app. I'll try the change and post back results.
I tried turning that option on but it had no effect. Open to other suggestions. Still need to call Page plus support yet too,

maybe try a different ROM to make sure it's not just an issue with GeeWiz? roll back to a stock ROM and see if that fixes anything... also use the right ROM, you know, eh03 for vzw devices, etc.
Or possibly try another texting app or even hangouts will do sms/mms...
It sounds like page plus is possibly not splitting the message into 2 sms or not converting a long sms to a mms unless it explicitly contains a picture,,,
I would think that is software settings
That also could potentially be the sender's messaging app not converting it to mms and/or not splitting the message into 2 sms.
I know you said there were multiple people sending you stuff,, to they both have the same app?
Let me try to clarify the scenario....
My phone is a Fascinate with Geewiz 4.2.2 ROM activated on Verizon (for now LOL).
I have several people on Pageplus that can't send me an extended text message, meaning a text message over 140 characters. One is an iPhone 4, one is a Fascinate on Superclean ROM, and the last is a Fascinate on Geewiz 2.9. If any of them try to send me a message that longer than 140 characters, it fails to send on THEIR end. I never see it. These same 3 people can send the exact same text that fails to other Verizon phones with no issue.
My phone was originally a Verizon phone that was then switched to Pageplus. When I got it, I put it back on Verizon.
It seems to me that this is an issue with Pageplus, almost like there's some information in their system still that sees my phone as inactive and refuses to send it. The texts fails on the senders end almost like they don't have service. I need to take a chunk of time and call Pageplus support and see if this is even a possibility. Regular texts and picture messages sent from those same phones DO make it thru. I can send all forms of SMS/MMS with no issues. It's only receiving and only from Pageplus customers. If a Verizon customer sends me an extended text, it comes thru no problem.
I would think if it's the ROM, the problem would be evident regardless of the carrier the message was sent from. How could a ROM single out a specific message from a specific carrier? I'm not saying it's possible but it seems like this is a system issue on Pageplus side.
Thanks for the suggestions. It helps validate the steps I've taken and my thought process to solve it.
Well, I spent about 2hrs on the phone between Pageplus and Verizon tech support. Each blamed the other for the issue but ultimately Verizon is looking into it. Made to Level 3 support for whatever that is worth. Supposed to get a call back after they pour thru whatever they have to look thru. We'll see. They all agree that if the phone can receive EMS texts (Verizons extended text message protocol), the phone itself can't distinguish between carriers. The settings for each are the same. Since Pageplus and Verizon use the same system/network, it SHOULD work and can't really be my device. It's something on one of their networks.
Oh... and nobody has ever heard of something like this ever happening....which gives me great confidence that it will get resolved... LOL
Latest... tech support has been less than helpful... SURPRISE! LOL
They said that my phone is rejecting the messages but can't explain how Verizon Extended messages get thru but not Pageplus...which uses the exact same system. Not sure what else to do than maybe try a different ROM to see if it really is Geewiz or not...or maybe swap a device on the account too.

Hello, i would like to start off by saying i have a Sprint Samsung Galaxy S7 (SM-G930P) with 7.0.0 Nougat. Stock Firmware and Rom.
Now that that's out of the way, we all know 160 characters is the max an SMS is aloud to send. before i was able to send over this by the phone automatically converting the SMS into an MMS. i had the phone two months after the S7 was released. this problem didn't start until 3 months ago. the android system doesn't show a toast notification saying "Converting to multi media message". i have literally tried everything for this problem. settings are good on both general and stock SMS app. firmware was even flashed by Samsung them self to the newest firmware. i have factory reset the phone twice with no luck. i thought after that it would fix the problem but no. any answers on this? i could not find anything on good about this.
Well that is moat likely due to Samsung using RCS instead if sms to send it. I think sprint is using rcs now. Which means it is all mms as it's a data based thing. Might want to check with your carrier.

Hello everyone. I'm new here and someone recommended I join this forum. Having major issues with the phone. So here's the story.
Bought a brand new Pixel 6 from TMobile on Nov 8 2021. When initially setup, I backed up data from a Samsung S9 plus via my Google account. Took over 24 hours for all apps and contacts to transfer. Thought that was odd. For the first week I didn't know anything was wrong. Then people told me they send me texts and I realized I wasn't getting them. I tried texting numbers in order to myself and some where missing. Live in NYC area and 5g is very good in my area. Spent about 3 hours on phone with TMobile. They had me toggle off 5g and use LTE. Didn't fix the issue. Texts were delayed or missing. Only way to get them was airplane mode or restart the phone. Reset message cache and network settings refresh/reset. After about of week playing games with TMobile, they recommended swapping out the SIM card for a new one at the store. So I did that and texts were flying in. Phone was actually nice for a few days but then a new issue popped up. Incoming calls would ring but I had no way to answer. Screen was blank with no notifications other than the ringer. I could open the phone and it would go to the home screen but still no way to answer. Never got a missed call notification and the call log was frozen/blank. If I restarted the phone or waited a few minutes the call would sometimes show in the call log. Called TMobile. Tried resetting cache on stock call app, tried network settings reset but neither helped. They then recommended a full data reset and not to back up from my Google account from the S9 phone. Did a reset and started fresh. Problem still persisted. Called TMobile they only wanted to give a refurbished phone because I had it more than 20 days. That pissed me off and I battled their supervisors on the phone for probably 10 hours last weekend. Called Google and explained all of the above. They sent me a new phone. I set it up from scratch and got the same problems! Now I want to blame T-Mobiles network. Called them they said my line is clear of issues and blamed android 12. They told me Google has to update my phone and it could take 2 months! Got another new 5g SIM card and have the same issues. Finally today I called Google again and explained all the above. I'm told an update will be coming out tomorrow that may fix the issue. What gives? Can anyone verify any of this?
Sounds like you did all the right things. Maybe try disabling 5G for now if possible, see if this helps.
Does it happen in safe mode? Rule out 3rd party apps especially carrier. Try a network reset and have Tmobile reset it on their end.
Android 11 and 12 are a mess. Google bit off more Apple than they or the developers could chew
I'm still running Android 9 and 10 on my Samsung devices, neither will ever be upgraded past 10... lockdown.
Thanks for your reply. Disabling 5g didn't help. Tried it for a few days. Safe mode didn't help either. Network reset and TMobile reset didn't help. I did turn off adaptive connectivity per a 9 to 5 article. May have helped the text issue. Let you know tomorrow.
You're welcome.
Try disabling all power/data management.
Start digging through the default settings for everything. It's fun to do and you learn more about the device... you may even find a fix.
Yea, I tried messing around with everything. I even put a LTE SIM card in that I have and it seemed to work a little better. Tmobile, Google, and now I cant figure it out. Hoping tomorrow's update from Google fixes everything.
Anyone else experiencing this?
Had the phone about 5 weeks. Reside in Canada, its a Version C unit.
Experiencing delayed receipt of texts in group chats and single texts. Using android messenger after a full reset w Textra as previous messaging app. Settings left stock, initially after reset worked fine and boom all of a sudden receiving mms and texts as old as 4 days ago in group chats. Getting to point that considering ditching device. Spoke w carrier they show no issue on their end. Issue seems to be xross plaatform w iphone users. I dont want an S22 and only option is a Pixel 7. I bought ZF9 for size, everything else i like but this is too much
Are you using RCS?

NO as I far as I can tell I am not as I am outside US, being in Canada on Virgin/Bell network. Is there a way I can look or turn off this feature as I am using the default android messenging app
I'm in Toronto on bell and have the ZF9.
All text are working fine.
To check RCS, open the message app, go to settings, chat features. Should show connected or maybe trying to connect.
Try deleting data/cache for both the message app and carrier services. Then re enable RCS.

Thanks going to try this as I did find settings and turned of RCS features. I have RCS chat features turned off currently. I have deleted data/cache now for both messaging app and carrier services, will pull sim and turn off device , reinsert sim and restart. Wondering if I should re-enable RCS chat features or run without first to see if issue continues before re-enabling
Update: even following the above and having RCS disabled since restart, reinsert of sim and clearing of data/cache on carrier services and google messenging app w/o messenging app connected to my google account I am receiving delayed texts in a group chat from iphone sender. I am beginning to wonder if clearing cash on their end may resolve. My Virgin carrier says everything seems fine on their end even though they don't support this device. I guess I may have to wait a period of time to see if this resolves as I am unsure what I can do that is left. I have already factory reset the device as well. Any additional comments are welcomed
