MMS group option unavailable in Google Messages app - Google Pixel 3 XL Questions & Answers

I have a Pixel 3 XL, my carrier is Orange FR.
On my previous HTC U11, the MMS group option was available in the settings of the Google Messages application with the same SIM and carrier.
On my new Pixel 3 XL, this option is unavailable, by default it is SMS group which is set and so I can not send a single MMS to multiple contacts.
Anyone having this problem ? Anyone having a solution ? ?
Nota: is it related to RCS support ?

Did you check in Messages>Settings>Advanced>Group Messaging? The choices are:

That's the problem : no such MMS grouping option option in Advanced setting ...
Same SIM on my HTC U11 propose me the MMS grouping option ...

Any Orange FR people having the same issue ?

Yes same here with SOSH . It was OK on my Galaxy S6 edge+. I have been in touch with sosh "technical experts", no problem on their side... They told me to use another app

Ok, I will complain to Orange FR ... since it seems to be linked with Orange under Android Pie...

good luck... ask them about VoIp (wifi/4G) while you are at it

Android Auto & MMS

Are there any Pixel 2 XL owners who also use Android Auto? My SMS messages come in just fine, but my MMS ones never show up on the Android Auto home screen. Do I need to adjust anything settings-wise in order to see/receive incoming MMSs on Android Auto?

Do you have "Show message notifications" on?

Yep...
Oh just realized you said it's specifically MMS messages. I rarely get MMS to notice whether or not it shows up for me.

Yeah. It could be only SMS messages that will only pop up on Android Auto. Grrrrr!
Are you using the stock Messages app or something else?

correct, sms only. no way to display mms in android auto, which sucks because there can be text associated with the media, but cant be accessed.
Kind of makes sense cause it's assuming MMS is a media and not containing text like a group text does. I use instant messengers for group texting so I don't deal with it but I can see the annoyance.

Google Store Support / RMA

Hello all,
I have (again ...) an issue with my Google Pixel 2 XL phone ...
Data transfer is not working ... I can only charge my phone. I've already had this issue in the past, see here: [URL = "https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/usb-data-transfert-t3727557"] https: / /forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/help/usb-data-transfert-t3727557[/URL]
So again, I have open a case to google support, tell to them that they have a "know" issue because I've had this issue in the past. I've asked them if they can change my phone again and maybe this time, change all the accessories (I bought an additional charger and a USB type C => A cable from the google store) I never used any other cable or accessories.
but this time, the support never answer me, it's so long ... after 3months, they still tell me that somebody is going to call me or write me an email but nothing appens ..
So my question now is ... anybody has the same issue with the support of google? 3months for a RMA is way to much!
Do you know another way to contact the support, or maybe the satisfaction department
any comment / advise is welcome
thank you everybody!

The quickest way is using the support button in settings tips and support
I have had the same issue with my Nexus 6p but never a pixel yet.

Question Supplementary services

Hi all,
Some months earlier, I was able to use call forwarding on my airtel SIM in galaxy F62 for voicemail purposes
But now, it just doesn't let me use supplementary services in SIM SLOT 1 like call waiting and forwarding... though Sim Slot 2 is letting me forward the calls...

Can someone please help me troubleshoot the problem I am facing?
PS: I used alliance shield X to open IMS settings once and I am not sure if that was the reason supplementary services not working in Sim 1

May be your shield x broke call supplementary setting. Just backup your device and do a factory reset. If doesn't work the you need to flash system with ODIN

Thanks for the reply, but I inserted my SIM in my mother's phone and the Supplementary services didn't work either..
So I guess the problem lies with SIM only..
Is there some setting or something from where I can just toggle those services on and off ? Or should I contact my telecon operator?

I had the same issue first when I got this phone , WiFi calling would not kick in at all although the setting was on. 4 months after I have received an update and this resolved the issue , no option for Volte however when I call someone majority of calls are marked as HD call but I guess this only works if other party has a fairly modern handset. I am on Three UK

I'm in France, and everything is working good. I have Vowifi activated and working and as marek03 said, my calls are also marked as HD.

If u're using a Chinese version, the option is hidden, and need to follow some steps to activate it.
If it's relevant, send me a pm, and I'll make a guide for you guys.
I have volte enabled on my HONOR Magic 3 Pro.
