Re: Samsung Galaxy Note 8 - Enhanced Messaging (RCS) + Issue Fix - Sprint Product Ambassadors

I am using a Note 8 with Oreo, and it looks like my RCS is working, however it is only giving me the option to chat with Sprint subscribers - is this how the RCS is supposed to work? My sister has an S8 and she can utilize the chat function with any samsung phone on any carrier.

Is this how the RCS / Chat feature works on sprint? Am I really only allowed to use the chat feature with other sprint subscribers? If that's the case that is really lame on sprints part.

I am using the S9+ and I've followed all the steps, but after turning the RCS setting on, I don't actually get the text confirmation indicating the service is enabled. When I enable the setting, I can see some of my contacts have a blue dot next to their contact icon/photo and when I disable this setting, that blue dot goes away. I assume that's an indication something is happening.

I am not seeing any differences in the contacts/messages other than some contacts having a blue dot and some not, but I will keep looking around.

Moto E5 Plus Photo Comparison - Sprint Product Ambassadors

wingland — Wed, 20 Jun 2018 23:53:48 GMT

A couple of posts ago we saw a photo comparison where the photos from the E5 looked dull and washed out compared to a premium phone. So I had to try it -- I shot photos from my Samsung Galaxy S8, the Moto E5 (both automatically set to HDR) and my long in the tooth Canon T3i DSLR. Click through for the results!

Received the Oreo update today on my Sprint S7. Previously used Android Messages along with the chat (RCS) features. Upon upgrade, Samsung Messages started intercepting my chat messages. So I tried turning off, but then decided to turn back on. Now I can't reactivate chat on either Samsung Messages or Android Messages. Same symptoms described in this chain for Samsung Messages. I never receive the confirmation code and registration fails. I tried the methods described in this chain. No luck.

A smooth beginning - Moto e5 Plus

lstron02 — Mon, 18 Jun 2018 14:14:56 GMT

I have had the Motorola e5 Plus for a little over a month now. This smartphone has certainly grabbed my attention just like many other options which are out in the marketplace today. At first, I was thinking I had never owned a Motorola device before, but then I remembered the vintage flip phone the Motorola StarTAC. This was my very first phone and it was a phone I had grown to love.

StarTAC

Fast forward to 2018, I have the Moto e5 plus in hand and I am just as impressed with this smartphone as much as I was impressed with Motorola's previous phone products

.MOTO e5 Plus

There are six main areas in which I am impressed with the device. For starters, I need a device that can keep up with me throughout the day. I work 24/7 and I need a device who can handle a demanding day which requires me to stay connected.

Battery

The Moto ePlus is packed with a 5000 mAh battery which provides me nearly two days of battery life. This is very important to me because of I text, call and use many different apps throughout the day to manage my work day as well as my personal life. :

Expandable Storage

Like many people, I take many photos and videos throughout the day, but things do not stop there. I keep videos, APK files and documents on a microSD card. I typically use a 64 GB, but this device can support as much as 128 GB.

Fingerprint reader

As technology involves, I am always looking to ensure my devices have some of the new norms of tech such as the Fingerprint reader. It is really responsive and one of the easiest ones to set up. The reader can be used to wake up and to unlock the phone which is very nice to have for quick and easy access to your phone.

Design

The phone fits very well within my hand. It is a little on the heavy side weighing at a little over 7 ounces. Not a deal breaker for me at all because it has a solid feel to it which makes it feels like a premium device. It also has an arched back which snuggles into my hand and this provides a natural feel to me when holding the device.

Display

As devices continue to evolve, the Moto e5 Plus provides 6 inches of a near edge to edge experience in a slim body. It offers some great viewing angles and it is easy to manage items on the screen by keeping a nice and slim form.

Camera

I feel the Moto e5 plus does a great job with it's 12 MP camera and I especially like the autofocus feature which uses a laser approach to focus on the things which means the most to you. I think this device is one of the best low light picture taking phones in the market. It really brightens things up. More to come.

Of course, this is just a small sample of what the Moto e5 plus has to offer and I am looking forward to bringing more of my own personal thoughts of what I enjoy and things in which I feel can be improved upon within my additional blogs.
