stock messaging app RCS (TMobile) - LG V60 ThinQ Questions & Answers

I've been using the default messaging app with my v60 and I actually love it. Up until a few days ago rcs was working perfectly with it and then it just stopped working. No read reports no typing indicators ..nothing. just wondering if anyone knows how I can fix this issue and get rcs working agian as I would prefer to keep using the stock messaging app. I already tried wiping cache and data for the app. Any help/ideas are appreciated

For some reason RCS has never worked in the stock app for my wife and I ever since we switched to TMobile. It works in Google messages, but never the stock app. And after today's announcement that T-Mobile was rolling out universal profile, I tried it again and it still doesn't work

That's so strange. I wonder why it was working....literally since I got the phone in hand, and then just stopped. Hm...I hope they get it figured out as I actually prefer the stock TMobile messaging app.

That is strange. Although, I'm having a weird problem where mms doesn't even work at all on the stock app, but it works fine on Google messages or any other 3rd party apps. Which sucks because I like the stock app but I can't use it since I can't send or receive pics or group messages. T-Mobile literally had to open a trouble ticket in my account and are trying to figure it out

Weird....mms works for me. Hopefully they can fix this with a future update as I really don't want Android messages.

Maybe it has something to do with TMobile agreement with Google regarding RCS.

I would have thought that could be it, and maybe it is, but I've had the phone for well over a month and it hasn't worked from day one. Supposedly T-Mobile is going to contact me on Tuesday after the "engineer's look at the provisioning" on my account

Aaaaaand just like that, RCS is working again for me in stock messaging app wtf?

Enhanced Email

Are any of you using this app successfully? I'm thinking this awesome app may be what's causing my phone to lock up and randomly reboot.
I've been using it for a couple months but I'm no power user of the app. I get maybe 1 e-mail a day that I either move to a folder or delete.
edit: I'm using Jokers rev 2/test3 rom
I use the app and so does my wife. We are for sure power users averaging 75-200 emails a day across 2-4 accounts. I couldn't handle how the built in app didn't visually differentiate visually what account each email is from (for us it makes a huge difference).
That said my phone does reboot more often than I like. I don't have lockups but I did have instances where I couldn't type or make calls without a reboot, but my wife never has this. I tracked it down to SwiftKey X Keyboard. I have since moved to another keyboard (Flex T9, and ICS Keyboard) and I have eliminated the typing issues.

It's not the app, once again...you have a broken photon lol =/. Good news is, you arent missing much with enhanced email, gmail app gets emails 5-10 minutes faster than enhanced email. I've tried it on two phones, and a tab, all same results. It's a nice idea to have all accounts merged, but with this app, that's all it is, an idea.

I don't think all three replacement phones are broken with the same exact issues. My phone has now been running for four days w/ no issues (the longest yet) after doing a factory reset and installing no apps. This leads me to believe my problems are software related. Now, I'm trying to smoke out the problematic app(s).
Yeah, I've been wondering the same thing, as my Enhanced E-Mail seems to be quite laggy sometimes, and it's almost always the first thing to show the annoying keyboard lock-up, no-dialing issue. However, I use it ALL the time so that may just be an obvious consequence ... at any rate, I'd hate to take it off the phone unless we knew for sure!

I want to agree with you but I've never had a random restart or lockup or any type of lag.
Yes I do and yes my phone reboots randomly as well as my keyboard becoming non responsive.
I've removed it as of yesterday.
Using gmail aPP and stock email, if only I could figure out how to switch accounts on the stock email app

I'm glad I am not the only one who gets the keyboard lock-up, no-dialing, random reboot issue. Since I stopped using EE, I have not experienced any of these issues in over a week. In a few more days, I am going to reinstall it to see if the problems return. If they do, then EE is officially the problem in my book! The app is so awesome that I hope it is a different app causing the problems. For me, the other problem app could have been Smart Keyboard Pro. I've since switched to the A.I.Type keyboard which I like better. If no problems return after I reinstall EE then the problems would have been caused by Smart Keyboard Pro on my phone.
A new version of EE (v.1.31.2) was released today! I am going to try it and see if the random reboots return. Since uninstalling EE a few weeks ago, my phone has been running FLAWLESSLY with no reboots! Let's hope that continues after installation. (crossing fingers)
Anyone currently using EE successfully with zero random reboots?
I've been using Kaiten mail for a week, it's perfect in my eyes. Give it a try.

Unfortunately K-9 Mail has weak support for exchange, I connect to two different servers (or it did a few years ago, it still has only WebDAV support) and neither worked with K-9.
On a different note, do you have any reboots with Kaiten?

I used to use Kaiten and K-9. Here are the *main* problems I had with them:
Can't change font color
Can't change font type
Let's say I have 100 emails in my inbox, I scroll down to see email #59, I switch to different app for something, when I return to K-9/Kaiten, the app reloads all of my emails; thus LOSING MY PLACE in the message list. Completely unacceptable!!!
Have these issues been addressed in the latest versions?
I've been interested in using a 3rd party email app (EE, kaiten, k9, maildroid, etc) for multiple Gmail accounts. My only question is if the 3rd party app gets push email just like the stock Gmail app.
honestly, im happy with stock e-mail as I don't type full page novels, but honestly, I have hears nothing but negative on EE!

Most of the ones you mentioned offer push email if you use IMAP or Exchange configurations.

Great! Please let us know if your phone starts experiencing random reboots after installing EE if you don't already experience them.
I haven't had any random reboots but my first gripe about EE is no threaded emails. Am I not seeing a setting in EE for threaded emails?
What other 3rd party email apps have you guys used that have threaded emails?

[Q] Non-stock SMS clients issue

Hey all,
I'm having a problem with messaging apps not pulling contact photos and occasionally names tied to phone numbers for threads. I originally had this problem with GOSMS, then after toying with it for a while without any luck, I switched back to Handcent and have the same issue.
All contact photos and names pull to the stock messaging app. Handcent and GO both will pull photos that have been manually set, but not those from Twitter/Facebook/ect. Message threads will also occasionally appear as only the phone number until the phone is restarted. The phone is not rooted and occurs both in Sense and GoLauncher.
Kind of a strange issue. I had my fingers crossed that someone else had a similar issue but I couldn't find a related thread-- please link if I missed it. Thanks.
Here you go. Must be rooted for this app to work

Thank you! Is there a certain reason I've got to do the work around for this phone when it worked on the original EVO 4G?
I believe lots of people have been having problems with other messaging programs. I've had the same issues that you've had.

Facebook and google are pissed at each.other so we suffer. Facebook pulls.data from google but doesn't like to share their data, so google and Facebook started blocking.each other in little ways.
Either way we as consumers suffer

AT&T messaging app?

AT&T messaging app suddenly appeared today and took over my phone. I used Default App Manager to change back to the default texting app but the AT&T app still catches the incoming alerts.
First off...what in the world.....? And second, how do I rid my phone of it/never see it again?
Thanks
I called them and got them to disable it. Apparently they've been getting pissed off calls about this all day. Way to FAIL AT&T...

Just go to settings, apps, all, click it and there should be an option to disable it.

Yep. But they also needed to disable something from their end (scrub it from account).

That's odd, I have an HTC One and for a while I used the stock ROM that came from AT&T and never had that issue. This is why I don't like carrier bloatware lol.
Mine was even worse, all of the sudden I had 8, yes, eight icons on my home screen. I thought for sure something had gone terribly wrong, ATT couldn't screw up that bad.
I'm going to make a quick list of useful apps that AT&T provides:
1.

I know what you mean. I wish HTC would have stock pop up notifications and a bit more customization to their messaging app.

The same thing just happened to my phone over the weekend. You can go into the settings and disable it but the better way is to call att customer care. They know of the problem and they have to remove it from the billing on you phone. After they do that, go to settings and press uninstall. It will uninstall all the updates to the app and then you will get a message stating that all messages will be handled by their default apps again.
I think it was an update to AT&T's "Visual Voicemail" app which was a really handy little program that I liked to use, but now with all the extra features its a pain in the butt!

Anyone installed the November 7th update - G965USQU3BRJ5

If so, noticed any differences or problems?
Installed it this morning, so far running normally.

On the stock messaging app, I keep getting
"Turn on Read Confirmation"
Allow Contacts to see when you've read their messages.
Cancel Turn On
Pretty annoying with every single thread of message. I dont want to turn it on because sometimes I'd like to ignore some people that text me. I've done everything from clearing cache and data.
Got it on the 7th, everything is running fine.
Thanks. I use a 3rd party text app, so if that's the only issue I guess I can live with it.
Can you mention in which countries you get it?
No update in Romania so far.

Ongoing MMS trouble

Anyone else unable to send or receive pics and group message in the stock app? I'm on T-Mobile and it just doesn't work at all. Factory reset, correct apn settings, new Sim card, replaced my device, and still nothing. BUT 3rd party apps work.. wth? T-Mobile has a trouble ticket in, and there telling me it's a faulty device, which I don't see how it's possible since it's already a replacement and 3rd party apps wouldn't work if it was the phone. I'm stumped

It's bizarre.. literally every 3rd party app works fine, butnkf course then I lose RCS. T-Mobile has been trying to figure it out, they want to replace my phone AGAIN even though I explained that it must be something my account or RCS related since it doesn't affect 3rd party apps. Strangest thing

T-Mobile had me try that and change the protocol to IPv4/IPv6.. didn't fix it.
Solved.. MMS through the stock app does not work when using the built in private dns feature. I finally figured it out, and sent my theory to the T-Mobile "engineers" that had been working with me to see if they could solve the issue. Attached below is their acknowledgement that I had stumbled onto the answer to the problem
