Just got a prompt last night for an update of 155mb. Haven't noticed much yet other then the messaging app has got an upgrade and now adding emoji doesn't convert a text message to MMS. There's a Rich Communications option under Network which is related to the sms app.

Baseband version: I9505XXUGNH7

Anyone else got this? :cathappy:

Hi Everybody

As you may have noticed, we have merged a number of threads surrounding RCS together into one thread per device. This has been done so all the conversations can be done in one place rather than in several different threads. This means we are making sure that we can monitor the posts easier and when we respond we are doing so to everybody on the one device.

Please note that this thread is for discussion for RCS on the Samsung Galaxy S4 device only. If you wish to discuss the matter on another device please go to the relevant thread. If there are posts about different devices made on here, then the moderators will move them to the proper threads.

Thank you.

I'm going to have to. So annoyed. Battery dead after 3 hours of almost no usage. Nearly all by this crappy ota add ons.

Ah drat..mine is the same...battery drain by framework shocking. Will do a full reset and see what happens. Fingers and toes crossed

jconway78 · ‎09-09-2014

Yeah, this is what I got. Unplugged phone at 6am. Got less than 3 hours today and hadn't made any calls, tethered or used anything bar the MX Data Tube map app.

This OTA update should never have been sent out. (Removed as per House Rules)

I had the battery drain this morning. As I don't use the stock messaging app, I disabled "Rich Communications" in the settings (under "More Networks") and then cleared the cache and data of the IMS Framework app before rebooting. I was prompted about needing a phone number for messaging when the phone booted, but I just pressed No.

Since then IMS Framework has only used 4% of the battery.

I did notice that Rich Communications was enabled again. I suspect that happened when I cleared the data settings for the IMS Framework. So, I've just turned it off again and once I've recharged to 100% I'll try letting the battery drain again and see where IMS Framework appears this time.

Hopefully the underlying issue can be resolved with a new firmware release, but maybe this will work in the meantime.

Having recently updated the firmware on my S4 and having spent ages getting it back to how I like it after the hard reset, I have now been infromed by my phone that there is another 155MB of new firmware waiting to be downloaded! I really can't be faffed with doing it all again, so taking into account my current version (see details below) does anyone know what the new update is for and if it is worth the hassle? (Yes I know that all updates are "worthwhile" but to paraphrase Orwell, some are more worthwhile than others!). Cheers

I think the update may contain the new vodafone message + (or similar) and I dont know if it contains anything else.

Someone from the team may be able to shed more light.

Something I have read in the past (but not always heeded myself !) if its working fine and you are happy leave it alone !

I tend now to leave updates to see if anyone else reports any problems first. Thats following a poor update to the S3.

loftysaltmarsh · ‎08-09-2014

Don't bother. I did it, and it really wasn't worth it. They've messed with the stock messaging app and made it worse.

ironlung · ‎09-09-2014

I've got the feeling that since the update my battery is dying really quickly. I had to charge the battery 3 times per day since the update

SimonWilding · ‎09-09-2014

Thanks for that guys, I've decided not to bother this time, I don't use the stock SMS app anyway. Just a follow up, when the next update is avaialble will it amalgamate the two seperate updates into one big update or will it be a case of me choosing which of the seperate updates to install?
