Has anyone else noticed that when you are texting someone, it will automatically switch to SMS when the other person doesn't have data? My wife was on the phone at one point today when I sent her a me

Does rcs work with Google voice integration?

 

As a Google Voice user, my expectation is no.

My aunt's GS6 edge got the update in the stock Samsung messaging app. When I went to send a photo to myself, it asked me if I wanted to use SMS or RCS (though not under those terms, I think it said advanced messaging). When I clicked advanced messaging only two people from her contacts came up and I'm assuming those people also have RCS on Sprint.

That's not RCS. Samsung has that baked into their stock messaging app. RCS will go through Google Messenger only.

AFAIK, T-Mobile and AT&T stated that Adavanced Messaging on their Samsung devices is their implementation of RCS.

My work phone had RCS messaging enabled yesterday (S4T) and my wife's phone (S6) became enabled today. Still waiting on my personal phone to get that ability (Note 5). We both got a message asking if we wanted to use enhanced messaging when we opened the Google Messenger app. It then sends you a text message saying it has been activated. It then adds a new option in the settings (in advanced options) for enhanced features.

Still nothing on my Pixel XL. Even updated to the new version of Google Messenger. I wonder if it's an account by account toggle, rather than a line by line toggle.

Got the update this afternoon. Has anyone noticed that the app still compresses images when sent to a non-Sprint device or a Sprint device that does not have RCS enabled?

 

At that point it just gets sent as a regular SMS message.

I got the alert just now and enabled it. But it's still not showing up in advanced settings. And messages to people I know have it enabled are showing as sending with SMS still... Grrr

I just got it today on my Nexus 6. Too bad none of my family use Google Messenger. I know Sprint is planning on switching to Google Messenger as the default messenger on Sprint phones next year but do you guys think they'd push updates to existing phones that would install it or would that be too much? I suppose I could just tell my family members to download it.

Just got it today, my device is Google Voice Integrated so that was a surprise. Came along with a Messenger software update in Play store.

 

Running the N beta on an S7 Edge.

Really? Interesting what message did you get? I have the same setup with s7e running nougat and sprintegration. Just have to download messenger again.

It just asked if I wanted to enabled enhanced messaging, then asked me to exclude Messenger from battery optimizing. And that was it. I think you're supposed to get a confirmation text from Sprint but I never got it, nor did another phone that got the same notice a few days ago. So it's not actually enabled...

It appears they maybe intend to roll it out on the stock Samsung messenger http://eguides.sprint.com/support/eguides/samsunggalaxys7edge/content/samsung_galaxy_s7_edge_ug/use_enhanced_messaging.html

That's a separate feature that's been on Samsung phones for the past couple years. It's not RCS messaging, although it is similar.

      Definite usage quirks in hunting down these sites with a rainbow sim in a s24 ultra. Fell into a hole yesterday so sent off to T-Mobile purgatory. Try my various techniques. No Dish. Get within binocular range of former Sprint colocation and can see Dish equipment. Try to manually set network and everybody but no Dish is listed.  Airplane mode, restart, turn on and off sim, still no Dish. Pull upto 200ft from site straight on with antenna.  Still no Dish. Get to manual network hunting again on phone, power off phone for two minutes. Finally see Dish in manual network selection and choose it. Great signal as expected. I still think the 15 minute rule might work but lack patience. (With Sprint years ago, while roaming on AT&T, the phone would check for Sprint about every fifteen minutes. So at highway speed you could get to about the third Sprint site before roaming would end). Using both cellmapper and signalcheck.net maps to hunt down these sites. Cellmapper response is almost immediate these days (was taking weeks many months ago).  Their idea of where a site can be is often many miles apart. Of course not the same dataset. Also different ideas as how to label a site, but sector details can match with enough data (mimo makes this hard with its many sectors). Dish was using county spacing in a flat suburban area, but is now denser in a hilly richer suburban area.  Likely density of customers makes no difference as a poorer urban area with likely more Dish customers still has country spacing of sites.

      Mike if you need more Dish data, I have been hunting down sites in western Columbus.  So far just n70 and n71 reporting although I CA all three.

      Good catch! I meant 115932/119932. Edited my original post I've noticed the same thing lately and have just assumed that they're skipping it now because they're finally able to deploy mmWave small cells.
