What SMS apps would you guys suggest? I gave google a try and it fucked me over by not sending texts at all whatsoever, their stupid RCS feature has remained hung on "Conmecting to carrier" since yesterday. what the actual fuck am I to do here? Just not be anle to receive any SMS anymore????tl;dr yes i am a fucktard for getting a samshit, inb4 applesirs jeet in here, I expected a full software and hardware upgrade from my LGv60 Goddamn I miss that phone, I might just go to fleabay and try to snipe one.
I had samsung app on my old phone, then I upgraded to a new phone which has google app, every single time I view a message it throws up a prompt for "save this contact?" and there is zero way to change that behaviorwhy
Do you want SMS or RCS?For SMS, I like Quik.
>>108818404just sms, google messages is making my s25u try to connect to google for rcs even when RCS is toggled to OF, I might just be getting old but who the fuck actually cares about read receipts?
>>108818392Simple sms messenger used to be the go to.
>>108818538https://github.com/quik-sms/quikSimple, sends SMS, looks good, allows scheduled messages. For me at least that ticks every box.
>>108818392Use RCS boomer
>>108818942fuck off telemetry queer
>>108818983what the fuck does RCS and having a straight forward "unsecure" JUST WORKS SMS gotta do with being a pedo???
Sending SMS without RCS is all fun and games till you try to send a message to an iphone user.
>>108819182So basically google is my only option then. Fuck.I failed to get everyone I know on signal.
>>108819182>send a message to an iphone user.stop getting railed in the ass by grindr users
>>108818401Just upgraded to a new Pixel from a Samsung phone yesterday and works on my machine.
>>108818784holy shit this shit is amazing, thanks anon! legitimately this is all i needed basic as basic gets sms, no telemetry bs.sidenote, I always thought f droid was root only, never used it until now, simple as install and go, fucking perfect. android as god intended.
>>108819249>sidenote, I always thought f droid was root only, never used it until now, simple as install and go, fucking perfect. android as god intended.about that...
>>108819242what bot response is this? a google app works on a google product?? did you read what the issue is?
>>108819254whtat about it?
>>108819260You never stated what new phone you upgraded to. For all I know it's a Blackberry.
>>108819292did you not read the original issue??? it is hanging on verifying the phone number that is already calidated on a google account. it will not allow me to send simple SMS without me having to force stop the app, clear cache, re open it after turning off RCS, every single message. I do not give two shits if RCS is on or Off or who can scan what. SMS has been known to be buck broken a billion times over, shit even your ISP knows exactly what you send it is their servers your using to send your texts over anyway. The issue remains that google wants to step in adding YET another server on top of sending it to your carrier outbto someone else and that server being unreachable by the phone.
>>108819291has nothing to do with what device I have, it is google's dogshit messages app.
>>108819315calidated... validated*.
>>108819327Like I said retard. Works on my machine.
>>108819466you are still implying that your machine matters because it is a google product designed for google apps... it does not correlate to anything else outside of it. retard.
>>108819266easy installation from outside the Play Store ™ will end in Septemberstill possible then but more hoops to jump through
i'm fucked theni'm not using jewgle messages, on average that shit takes up 2x the amount of ram minimum and consumes more battery than the samshit one for no apparent reason (it's telemetry, ofc it's telemetry)
>>108818392idk I'm still using samsung messages with RCS disabled. I want oldschool SMS/MMS not RCS since sometimes I'm in areas with horrible coverage and SMS doesn't require data connection and will come through when nothing else works.I hate RCS almost as much as WEBP.
>>108819773>I hate RCS almost as much as WEBP.based based based
>>108819773Cringe cringe cringe
>>108819266>>108819756Installing non-Play Store apps is probably just going to be something similar to enabling developer mode, which is quite simple, but we don't know for sure yet.
>>108819249No problem and glad you like it. It's good software.
Why do you care? The only thing that uses sms nowadays are some older 2fa logins and spam. Literally use whatever, ir doesn't matter.
>>108822123>t.retard didn't read the threadThe phone is FORCING the switch to Google Messages, Google Messages is failing to send anything at all. Real people still text through traditional methods unless you are a thirdie and uses shit like whatsapp and tiktok religiously
>>108822160Maybe fix Google Messages instead of using SMS like a caveman from the 1990s.
>>108822332fucktard. the fix does not work. it hangs, I have even contacted google support, and crickets. went to ISP store and they too said nothing they can do other than WAIT FOR GOOGLE. Google's shittware simply fucking sucks outside of google pixels.
What's wrong with just using the AOSP sms app?
>>108818401>WhyJeetcode
>>108818392Signal on GrapheneOS
