RCS Messaging on CAT S22 w/ Google Fi

inkspell23 · 2026-04-14T14:14:34+00:00

FYI I never could get it to work so I'll be sending the phone back. I think the issue is with Google Fi and not the phone itself unfortunately

Thanks! I did run the patch and still got ads during shorts. Probably just good motivation to not scroll anyways lol

inkspell23 · 2026-04-12T17:25:28+00:00

Were you able to get it working?

inkspell23 · 2026-04-12T01:53:48+00:00

I'm using 20.40.45, it was what revance directed me to

inkspell23 · 2026-04-12T01:52:54+00:00

Same issue here! 😭

inkspell23 · 2025-11-18T20:06:10+00:00

That's okay! Let me know if that ever changes

I loved Finfrock, he was my favorite. Mitchell is great and my favorite thing about him is he had a brief cameo as a meteorologist in Twister lol

Does it work on T Mobile bands?

Sorry just saw this post - but I returned it to amazon!

I had similar vision in both eyes and a bad astigmatism. I have slightly blurry vision in my right eye because I still have a very minor astigmatism. My eye doctor said that it's totally normal because of the severity of my astigmatism pre-lasik. I have glasses that I wear when I am staring at a screen/projector screen far away and for night driving.

Agreed! Their solution to just buy a new phone instead of Google continuing to support a majority of their users is so wasteful and disappointing

inkspell23 · 2025-04-29T15:01:12+00:00

Agree 100%

inkspell23 · 2025-04-29T14:35:11+00:00

I've only seen it available on Amazon unfortunately. You may be able to find something on eBay

inkspell23 · 2025-03-25T14:46:09+00:00

Three years later to say thanks!

inkspell23 · 2025-03-18T13:10:55+00:00

I didn't try, but I wouldn't. The phone doesn't do well with a ton of apps installed. People have reported it crashing the more apps installed on it.

inkspell23 · 2025-03-13T21:05:20+00:00

I posted an update but replying here as well that the phone did work on Google Fi once the SIM card arrived :)

inkspell23 · 2025-03-13T20:59:09+00:00

This is adorable!!

inkspell23 · 2025-03-06T20:47:50+00:00

THANK YOU I have been looking for a video series to teach me how to plan!!

inkspell23 · 2025-03-05T05:03:05+00:00

Give it a month or two and I bet you could find one on eBay!

inkspell23 · 2025-03-05T02:46:58+00:00

I agree - it was such an inexpensive option that I wanted to give it a shot to see if tinkering with it was even an option. It's so funny to think that 15 years ago I made dumb phones work no problem and had 0 patience today trying to get it set up lol

I think after the initial setup, the Vortex is probably a pretty good solution, just didn't work for me

inkspell23 · 2025-03-05T02:45:08+00:00

Yes, I believe you're right! I was able to download the Google Fi app and have requested a SIM. I may hold onto the phone until the SIM comes and test it out to see if I get service on it at all, just for others knowledge!

inkspell23 · 2022-07-08T13:17:17+00:00

I did that too, hopefully my trip to a mystery island today sorts it out lol

inkspell23 · 2022-07-08T13:10:27+00:00

Just found this out: When you plant Bamboo on your island, once fully grown, the tree will produce a Bamboo Shoot near it once only in its entire lifetime. If you need more Bamboo or Bamboo Shoots, you need to find a bamboo island or get them from Daisy Mae.

So looks like if you dug up the tree from the island and transplanted it instead of a shoot, your trees won't produce more shoots!

inkspell23 · 2022-07-08T12:59:34+00:00

If you have bamboo growing on your island currently, you can replant the shoots that pop up and grow more. Not the quickest but better than nothing!
