Rich Communications Suite - Samsung Galaxy S4

[danba]

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 there, unless the person receiving the message has message+/RCS the message will be the same as normal. It only changes in that set up.

So I finally received an update on my phone yesterday and installed it.  After 10hrs of it being taken of the charger the battery had only gone down by 7%.  Amazing, until I realised I've had no mobile data since a little while after the update.  The APN's weren't set correctly and one was missing.  Tried to add them back in manually but the add option gives an error. Got voda to resend the configuration message and installed that but still no luck.  So as of now I have no mobile data but a phone that will last a long time.  Way to go Voda!!! (sorry it's obviously Samsung's fault)

Not wishing to dampen any festive spirit but recieved franken update yesterday updated phone IT DID NOT GIVE any info as to what it was or what bug fixes there was so I updated in desperate hope that all would be fixed did a factory reset and disabled the RCS and hey guess what phone still shuts down unexpectedly with more than 50% battery so to recap.

Got phone in may Awesome phone used it through out summer then got the Awfull 4.4.2 update now have useless brick and I cant even use my old phone as the s4 uses a micro sim. Great for 30 quid a month.

Vodafone Please please please sort this NOW.

So did anyone discover what the latest update was, which version, an update to new KitKat version or update to Lollipop. I keep getting reminder of available update but don't want to unless it improves what can inly be described as an appalling fiasco regarding the last power sapping update.

Is there anyway of getting an update direct from Samsung without the issuesand dross Vodafones updates cause?

Can u tell me what can i do?

Samsung and more especially Vodafone showed themselves to be essentially useless in resolving this issue. I had installed What's app and I think the power struggle between whatsapp Samsung and Vodafone all trying to force you to use their messaging service is what causes the problem.
I uninstalled whatsapp and the problem disappeared.
