[Guide] Activate Native Video Calling (over LTE), RCS & other features

[Compusmurf]

None yet. Sadly.

According to their discord, SAMSUNG issued them a new license, but haven't cleared their old one.

That being said, all code to disable apps is being removed because THAT is what breaks the knox TOS.

Updated again but can't open IMS SETTING

Thanks! Just got a brand new SD S20+. Hoping to get RCS working on this thing.

This is the kind of stuff that makes me regret buying a Samsung.

Any luck yet with the shield x replacement?

OK good news is, it (Alliance Shield X) just got updated on my phone and their Knox license is back and I can confirm that I was able to switch the IMS setting to On.
@hayabusa1300cc it works now. Try.

Funny, waited all that time, and when now that I'm finally able to change the settings chat features still don't show up in samsung messages..

I can confirm i have it, Its called Chat Settings. Sometimes you need to go to google messages and switch of the RCS there (Chat Features) for Samsung Messages Chat settings to work. Try that may be.

Yup, turned off chat features in Google messages, went thru the steps to turn everything on in ims settings, and nothing. No option for chat settings anywhere.

Was able to turn in chatting+messages on the Korean S20+. However I can't seem to send and receive RCS on it. Is there a provisioning delay?

I only get unable to start activity. Unlocked on T-Mobile. On Sprint I had native RCS.

Was able to fix it with a phone restart. Thanks guys!

Did you toggle the knox switch? Make sure your settling page of Alliance shield app looks like my screen shot and then when you open the IMS settings it will look like my other screen shot.. Then you have to go to activities tab and select the first from the list and pick open and now you will see the IMS settings.. Just toggle the RCs switches like instructed in first post.

I'm on Verizon too and I have the same problem, I think it's Verizon that is c**k blocking us this time. Pretty sure it's because they want you to use their messaging app instead. Why they block it on unlocked models tho is beyond me.

I give up. Following the steps in this thread resulted in the total loss of RCS features in both Google Messages and the stock messaging app. I suppose a hard reset is in my near future.

I think it's only fair that I return here to mention that just now, seemingly out of nowhere, my RCS/Chat features suddenly started working within Google Messages. No idea how or why, but it's back. Not messing with the native Samsung Messages app again.

Maybe because they can. Verizon is the most overrated carrier by far and they have the least amount of respect for their customers. Their pricing and plans tell most of the story.
