VV(^^)VV_____OFFICIAL ANDROID OS/DEVICE THREAD_____VV(^^)VV

[jewelknows]

Sup NT Android dam. I’ve been on iPhone recently, but this last release was a bit underwhelming.

How’s the development on RCS or atleast a messaging standard? I travel a lot for work as well as internationally and I can’t remember how many times iMessage and FT has come in clutch for my wife and family. I know there’s a bunch of apps, but hoping for a standard across all devices, so it’s easy enough for my whole fam to adapt like iMessage.

None that'll compete with iMessage.

Google HANGOUT or Whatsapp is pretty solid.

RCS isn't competing with iMessage just yet, idk if my carrier even supports it yet (AT&T)

What the hell is RCS?

@ these prices. I'll keep my eye out for the original Pixel XL.

yea I might as well just go for the regular Pixel

 

[AZwildcats]

What the hell is RCS?

Rich Communication Services, new protocol that is supposed to replace SMS/MMS text messaging

 

[kdslittlebro]

Idk much about it, but from light reading, three only thing holding RCS back is implementation

 

[Mark Antony]

Those going for the pixel xl could probably finesse buy a cheap used 6p, make sure it was initially purchased from the google store, then hit up google for the replacement and tell them it was a gift. Risky though.

 

[Nike Jordan]

I heard that Google has stopped replacing defective 6Ps with Pixels and is now redirecting customers to Huawei.

 

[stay lurkin]

if they get RCS up and running worldwide there's really no reason to stay on iphones for imessage anymore. I know people in canada use RCS and love it already. Apple will have no choice but to integrate RCS, or get left in the dust imo

Time will tell man

lettuce pray. tmobile sprint and att are in. you can already use RCS on certain devices on those networks. verizon is the one dragging their feet. textra has agreed to add RCS capability to their app when the universal profile is releaed by GSMA. things are finally moving in the right direction

This might be a stupid question but can you move apps to the sd card or its just used for pictures and video ? I dont want to pay extra cash for a 256G sd card if im not going to optimize it for everything

I think it depends on the phone. With most flagships you definitely should be able to but I know my dad had a budget Samsung that wouldn't allow him to l

Depends on the app

 

[youngjaybrooks]

Depends on the app

Have you guys saved Facebook or Instagram on sd cards ? Or any major apps

 

[davizzy]

I have a Verizon s8+ and have it for sale. Currently have someone interested but has AT&T as their carrier. Is the phone compatible with At&t ?

 

[a55a5in11]

I personally would keep the apps running on the phone and the photos, videos and documents on the sd card.

 

[iamdef]

I don't remember, been a long time since I had to even deal with apps on a sd card

Did you get the phone from Verizon? Or another place like Best buy? Best buy sells unlocked phones but Verizon locks the bootloader and may not have complete band compatibility.

Purchased from Samsung directly and paid in full

I'm not 100% but it maybe unlocked TBH

 

[SneakerProSr.]

All Verizon phones are sim unlocked

 

[davizzy]

So it should work on att correct?

 

[a55a5in11]

You should just take it to att to be sure

 

[rillo561]

Was it ever activated? I'm using a Verizon Moto z Droid on T-Mobile, but I forgot it had to be activated first before I could use my T-Mobile SIM.
