I haven't used it, I am with Barclays and they force you to use their own app for NFC etc, they aren't even listed in the Samsung pay app, always just use my card for contactless anyway
[Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2 Questions & Answers] Spixe1:
Dual question. Are there mods or apps (possible something in Good/Nicelock that I can't find?) that can one or any of these?

1) Display the day and/or date in the notification bar (sorry if this isn't proper name) at the top - WITHOUT having to swipe down.

2) Have 2 different live wallpapers for folded and unfolded screens - WITHOUT using Galaxy theme app.

I've been told the galaxy theme app can do that, but that's not an option for me. I've managed to get some other wallpaper apps to give me different live wallpapers for a limited time, but for one reason or another it always ends up resetting one of the screens to the Fold 2 default WP, or making both screens the same one. I've yet to figure out which apps can, and in what order, make these separate screen Live WPs stick.

Any advice/ideas?

Hi, there is no screenshots attached.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Sorry was having a lot of trouble posting screenshots check now i have linked those now.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Phariex:
The screenshot size is really small and I can't read the text on them. Can you upload those with high quality? or bigger size? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
You dont really need to see the screenshot its just to give you an idea but i tried changing the ones with bigger fonts hope its readable now.

What specifically has to be on to get native video calling? Got RCS using this method from another post, but video calling still uses duo.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
If you see below RCS there is a section titled MMTEL

MMTEL - Suboptions of MMTEL are

VoLTE

VoLTE-Video

VoLTE-Call-Composer

SMS over IP

Supplementary Services

Called Dial Third Party Number

I have swited on all the options but for Video you mainly need VoLTE, VoLTE-Video and VoLTE-Call-Composer to be toggled on.

Also this site is further compressing the pictures hence you guys cant see. when i get time i will upload to some pic sharing site.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] picatrixgm:
I have an unlocked phone from EE in UK and this doesn't work for me
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Cindysmith0994:
Thanks, all were all toggled on already. Still uses duo. Guess I can live with it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
The default on contacts will still show duo. Make a regular voice call and then you will see the native video call icon wait i will show you as you can SEE HERE

As soon as the person answers the option to toggle to video is activated in the first row center icon. Let me know if that is the same for you and works.

It used to be a call hold icon earlier before we toggled the IMS settings.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Cindysmith0994:
I don't have the option to make a regular video call. After I place a voice call, the native video call button appears on the dialer screen with the active call, but it's greyed out.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
The other person needs to have that option too (Why not just call me), JK sorry dont know how to help you here. if you know someone who got S8, S9, S10, S20, Note 8, 9, 10 or 20 phones directly from TMobile call them and since they would already have it yours wont be grayed out anymore.

I have a U.S t-mobile branded phone (AT15 ; Sep security patch)and use the Samsung stock messaging app. I have been hoping for RCS to be enabled but that hasn't happened yet. I know google messaging has this feature but I prefer to stick with my current stock samsung messaging app. Will following your method help me in activating RCS? Thanks!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Yes it will and i can confirm i checked and it is working. I see when my friend with RCS activated is typing. So typing indicators are working a big sign that RCS is working.

To verify before you do any of the above steps open your default Samsung SMS app and go to settings by clicking on 3 dots on top right, do you see an option called 'Chat Settings' if not, once you have gone through the suggested steps above you will see chat settings activated meaning RCS working.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Compusmurf:
Also, might add. IF you were previously using Google messages, then you do this, you probably will have to UNREGISTER from Google Messages for Samsung Messages to pick up RCS.....

Thank you, this was the part I was missing.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Thank you for this information i will add it to 1st Post

Thanks for confirming.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Compusmurf:
I did all this a week or 2 back to mine and my granddaughters phones.

I didn't do any kind of writeup because this info has been out there in the wild, just not overly shared because there are other options in that menu that can wreck your phone experience. :)

Glad someone did.

(Note to folks, don't go randomly changing things here if you don't know what they are and haven't been validated by others)

Since you did so good here, you should write a document for folks how to "update" using FRIJA and ODIN for folks with U1 devices. Maybe that'll cut down on the folks that complain that they can't get Month X security update because Carrier Y is slow. :)

I know how, but writing a document step by step isn't the same and I'm very bad at documentation.

Nice I am stuck at that point again. So 8 days here I come
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Mjm1mnm:
Hey so I just tried this on my s21 ultra but for some reason its not working. Yes the chat option is now there and both tabs are switched on but when i text it does not show as read. Am I doing something or do i have to wait 8days like I read from someone in this thread?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Mjm1mnm:
Am I doing something wrong? The chat option now shows on the messeges settings but it is not showing the messeges on "read" and yes the other person has the chat feauture on.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
The conventional method doesnt work on Android 11. First Post is updated, you can find the instructions for Android 11 at the bottom of the first post

1. Install Alliance Shield X >> Create account and Give necessary permissions.

2. Look at this post and follow

Let me know if it works

I had Snapdragon N20U where RCS was working fine. I sold it and bought Exynos version, enabled RCS using Alliance shield and it shows up in menu but it still shows sms only when I write to contacts who I'm sure they use RCS
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] dknight178:
Hi everyone.

I'm using vodafone on my Note8 (android9). RCS works on google messages but I can't make it work on Samsung messages - even after toggling RCS on and off via IMS, restarting phone and force stopping messages. Is this limited to android 10/One UI 2.0 and above only? Thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I dont have an active sim in my note 8, i can check that for you over the weekend. Ideally it should work, i used to have RCS on my samsung messages on Note 8 but it was limited to other Samsung users. Never got around to digging deeper. I have a Tmobile note 8. Here is what t-mobile says about RCS https://www.t-mobile.com/support/de...note8/advanced-messaging-samsung-galaxy-note8

Please check with vodafone if they are supporting RCS from carrier side. RCS on google messages is Carrier agnostic and is using jibe.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
Annnd I'm back. Lost RCS since the 3.1 update on tmobile. I changed and the settings back for RCS however no RCS even through Google Messages.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Trayp1421:
Same, I can't even get the ussd code to work using Google phone. Anyone else experience this and/or have a fix?

Unlocked on T-Mobile
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
That method hasn't worked for some time. You need to use Shield Alliance X method. But I have RCS on Google Messages only.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] *Detection*:
I lost RCS before 3.1, it was working fine with 2.5 and fairly sure it worked with 3.0 for a while, then one day I couldn't send texts unless I turned it off, now it just refuses to enable at all even with Google messages and Alliance X tricks
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] tozian:
This happens to me as well. Pretty frustrating. Anyone aware of a fix?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] louislolitta:
Its Does not Show IM Settting on my phone, after i install google phone.

Try 2 Phone Note 9 and S9+ still the same. those 2 phone is unlock Phone ( no effect to any carrier).

Maby the latest update from Samsung was block it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
Any help with this guy's? Hasn't been working for me last couple of updates
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Hey, Alliance Shield X is still working, i just tried and i can confirm. After the update everything goes back to off, that what happened to mine after April Security update so i just re-enabled evrything. RCS and Video over LTE.

Let me know what issue you are facing and i can try to help. I am on T-mobile.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] hayabusa1300cc:
Wow thanks yes please can you help. Turning it on does nothing for either. Before last just I had RCS only for Google Messages. Now none, also TMobile
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Sorry just saw this. DM me we can do this together. I am in EST we can do a live chat too after 6 pm EST.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] guammie08:
Also on t-mobile with an unlocked s20 fe 5g. After the latest update, I enabled everything via alliance shield x but it does nothing for rcs. Goggle messages is working, though
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] erelchris:
me toom enqble rcs on samsung messages. but seems that it is still not enabled. all my messages are all converted to mms
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Compusmurf:
Look at it this way. For TMobile, they are moving everyone to Google's RCS solution and the writing is on the wall for Samsung messages. With some Samsung devices, they are already defaulting to Google messages. Might as well jump in with both feet.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kyky7kyle7:
I have an issue with my note 10+ U1 doing this. Im on android 11 and 3.2. Yesterday after the update taking away my hotspot I went into *#272*imei# and changed my sales CSC to XAA to get it back. Now I don't have VOLTE but I have my hotspot back(AT&T). I enabled the volte in the IMS through Alliance shield X like this showed but it still won't give volte any longer and on *#*#4636#*#* shows VOLTE off
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kyky7kyle7:
I toggled it off and back on and now VOLTE works. Also rcs works and I still have my free hotspot!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Glad you found a solution on your own. Also you should help ppl for whom hotspot isnt working to use this method. Cheers.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Dr.][No_WaY:
Hello,

Any way to froce enable wifi calling in airplane mode?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] kyky7kyle7:
So this worked on my s10+ but trying it on my s20 fe it wont enable my volte even though it shows it as on through IMS
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Dr.][No_WaY:
Hello,

I followed the instructions but after applying step 5,6 and restart phone i found it not saved and disabled, is this normal?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Never had the issue after a restart (May be i didnt notice) but i can confirm that the settings wont stick after an update and you will have to redo the steps.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Dr.][No_WaY:
Dose ownership is mandatory to successful process?

Alliance shield X should look like this: SEE THIS POST
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Dr.][No_WaY:
I did it exactly but after reboot i got all switched off back again.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] cronkllr:
So i tried the alliance shield method days ago ( att / S21 ultra unlocked ) was able to set the settings where they stayed. But even with the phone popping up advacned messaging tab and Voip calling etc. The features didnt work. I factory reset and went back to my u1 firmware. But I couldnt get google messages to verify my number . ( i did all the troubleshooting - carrier services, fore stop delete data etc ) but no still wouldnt verify.

I decided to take a look into the alliance shield one more time and found a provisioning tab, See attached pic. After hitting enabled. I force stopped Carrier services, Google messages, samsung messages, deleted all storage data when i went throguh each. And was instatnly able to verify my number. No waiting 7 days or any of that nonsense.

Having att. alliance shield would not let me use video calling nor avdvanced messaging even though it was turned on in options or even running U firmware from att. ( NOTE - I hate ATT ) . But this method will at least let you go back to your U1 and be able to verify chat features in google messages. and not have to wait to verify your number. Hope this helps some people out.

in alliance shield goto the IMS settings like you would to enable RCS. I still left all RCS options on.

than scroll down till you see provisioning like in the screenshot. Hit provision. and than go force stop , clear data etc.

--

UPDATE --

So I was testing around with it. It seems if you have problems or fiddle a bit it will do the same verifying [Not verify] , ( or if it is already set to enabled )

If you go back in and disable provisioning and reenable that , force stop, clear data. it will verify instantly .

It will now send RCS messages VIA google to another google enabled user properly.

It will also work on the beta google messages ( samsung version from apkmirror )
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] beebo135:
Did it get you WiFi calling? I have a 960U currently on a ATT/XAA/TMB trying to decide how I can get WiFi calling and VOLTE. Using RedPocket AT&T
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] clownin72:
No,wifi calling showed up later with a security update. Also this option ended up not working. It just showed the options for rcs but no read receipts
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Cindysmith0994:
Has anyone been able to use this method and keep call/text on other devices with AT&T? I know this is disabled in the carrier U software.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] j03b0b:
Has anyone figured out another workaround to enable RCS for Android 11/One UI 3.x?

Have an unlocked N986U1 with a T-Mobile SIM. RCS does not work in Samsung Messages.

I tried the dialer option to access the menu, as well as Alliance Shield X, but neither work anymore.

I also tried flashing my phone with the T-Mobile firmware, but that didn't seem to do anything either.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I just tried using alliance shield and it worked for me. No idea why its not working for you, can you elaborate what all happens when you switch the RCS switch on.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] j03b0b:
Thanks for the response. I wasn't able to get alliance shield to activate because their Knox license was expired. Tried it again last night and their license is active again. So I was able to get to IMS settings and turn on all toggles. Now I have the chat settings section in Samsung Messages, but unfortunately RCS doesn't work. I've tried restarting my phone and giving it some time, but maybe not long enough. If you have any suggestions, I'd appreciate it.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] mbze430:
I can't get it to work on my Fold3. Matter afact.... I am missing the toggle for Knox. Anyone can help??

UPDATE: rebooted the fold3 and the Know toggle is back, but when I enable it. it just sit there and spins

UPDATE2: force closed the app and tried to enable Knox and now it say failed to validate key.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] donatom3:
I'm getting the exact same on my Fold3

Edit1: I was able to get it working. Had to remove Device admin from alliance x clear data on the app, set it up again and make sure to choose Knox from the initial setup wizard.

I was able to open settings at that point
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Great you got it working, thank you for posting your solution it will help many.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] Golden Hammer:
I am having the same issues as j03b0b above. One of my phones on Android 11 has access to video calling, and shows the Chat settings menu. I can make video calls with it, but the RCS functions (read receipts and typing indicators) do not work.

[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] MrRubik20:
How did you make advanced messaging work on your SM-N986U1? Any help would be appreciated.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] MrRubik20:
I thought you said you had Advanced Messaging working?
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] clownin72:
Only when the Google phone app would let me access the settings. It showed I had advanced messaging but none of the features actually worked. After that I tried the alliance shield method and it doesn't work for me. I finally gave up trying.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
Whats your phone model and carrier? For me Alliance Shield method is working even on one ui 4, android 12. Not sure what is going on with you!
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] clownin72:
986U1 and att prepaid. I tried the alliance shield method and have activated advanced messaging but have no idea if it's actually working
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] toastido:
Anyone know how to get native video calling to provision? 986U1 TMB A12 Beta 3, IMS says enabled, but when you check the network stuff it shows all provisioned EXCEPT video calling. I can switch to video after I make a call, but I can't make a native video call outright -- it wants to use google duo. I tried uninstalling duo and it just won't do video calling at all (unless I switch the call mode AFTER establishing the call in voice mode). See screenshots for how to find the provisioning.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
This i have never been able to activate without flashing a U firmware locked to tmobile if you discover a workaround do let us know, I have the same situation where I can activate video after calling someone.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
There are multi factors for it to be working including dependency on person texting with you they should have it working too. You can verify it's activated by opening msg >>3 dots >> settings. If the first option is chat features it's activated. Look at my screenshot below of before and after activation.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] smg117:
Does anyone know how to get rcs working on Samsung messages? I have the chat settings enabled but rcs isn't working. It will work when i go to google messages but it won't work on Samsung messages.

Unless the device is rooted and your preferred Activity Launcher supports running activities as root then you can't launch said activities.

Alliance X uses Knox to launch activities that require higher privileges.

Before Alliance X the Activity Launcher I used displayed a little 🔒 icon if the activity required higher privileges, otherwise you'll get the 'Java Permission Denied' response when attempting to launch.

Also there be 🐉🐉's when changing IMS settings or any other system activity settings, backup take screenshots/recording b4 hand incase something goes awry.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] DaRkZ2012:
It could be because your number took awhile to register, as depending on service congestion it can take up to 5-10m after hitting the toggle to enable.

Either toggling ✈️ mode, reregister on network or restarting the device can speed things up a little.
[Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu] warriorvibhu:
I really appreciate the appreciation and yes i agree there are definitely write ups elsewhere.

I did not find one for Native Video call (but pretty sure its there somewhere) as you said i always see people asking about same things, so i did write about flashing in Odin and how to search using Frija in many posts just did not do a guide one.

It can get tiring answering same questions again and again and then everything becomes bloated with good information getting lost.

I will surely give it a serious thought to write a Guide or two. Thank you for the help such things keep bringing me back here again and again and every small enhancement/mod makes the use of devices so much more pleasurable experience.
