Galaxy Users Hit by Google Messages RCS Breakage

An issue is affecting Google Messages users on Samsung Galaxy devices, preventing them from using RCS (Rich Communication Services) for sending and receiving messages.

A number of Reddit threads have reported the problem, with affected users seeing an error code '3100' in the app, which translates to 'Trouble connecting. Awaiting retry.'

The issue appears to be related to Galaxy users who are upgrading to a new device or switching to a new carrier.

Google's troubleshooting steps include turning RCS off, clearing data for 'Carrier Services,' rebooting the device, and then turning RCS back on.
