Does anyone know to which app belongs the icon on the image? It is on the right part of the status bar and it is only on when there is an Internet connection. Thank you!
According what I found it is the icon to indicate RCS Service
What is RCS?
Rich Communications Services (RCS) is the platform that enables delivery of communication experiences beyond voice and SMS. It provides consumers with instant messaging or chat, one to one or to groups, live video and file sharing across devices on any network.
RCS marks the transition of messaging and voice capabilities from Circuit Switched technology to an all-IP world. It shares the same IMS investment and leverages the same IMS capabilities as VoLTE and video calls over LTE.

One of the popular requirements for telephony applications is the possibility of reading the Cell ID (LAC and CID).
Since no info is available on how to achieve that on Windows Mobile, we've decided to help the developer community and implement the feature in this latest release of DynRIL.
To start, have a look on the samples included with DynRIL. This new release comes with a C# sample (that displays the LAC and the CID). Also now you can receive notifications when a new SMS is received, and you can read the text and the originating number.
As a remark, the Cell ID notification is available for GSM devices, that are using a GSM network. So if your device connects to UMTS, make sure you disable it, and use only GSM, by going to Phone->Options->Band tab->Select your network type->GSM.

OVERLAND PARK, Kan. (BUSINESS WIRE), March 21, 2011 - Sprint (NYSE: S) and Google announced today a new integrated Google Voice™ experience that will allow Sprint customers to set their existing Sprint wireless phone number as their Google Voice number. Sprint customers will be able to take advantage of all the features and benefits of Google Voice without the hassle and fees associated with porting their number. Sprint is the first and only carrier to offer this capability, which will be available soon on all Sprint CDMA phones.
In addition, Nexus S 4G1, announced today by Sprint, Google and Samsung, will allow Sprint customers to enable the integrated Google Voice experience and will come preloaded with the Google Voice Android app.
“As part of our partnership with Google, our customers will appreciate having the easiest set-up experience of any wireless carrier for Google Voice across all of our CDMA phones, using their existing Sprint phone number,” said Kevin McGinnis, vice president-Product and Technology Development, Sprint. “It’s now easier than ever to truly live a mobile lifestyle with the ability to manage multiple devices through intelligent call routing and online controls using just one phone number – your existing Sprint number.”
"With this integration, we have made Google Voice simple to use with a Sprint phone," said Dave Girouard, president at Google. "Sprint subscribers now have access to all the benefits of Google Voice behind their existing mobile number without the need for porting or, if they already have a Google Voice number, they can display that number from their Sprint phone without the need for a separate application."
Manage multiple devices with Google Voice
Google Voice makes it easy for people to manage and access most of their voice-based communication. It lets users manage up to six different devices through one phone number with intelligent call routing and advanced features like call screening, blocking and recording using the phone’s dial pad. Sprint subscribers will be able to use their Sprint number across their office, home and wireless phones, and personalize settings so calls from friends ring their wireless device and home phone, while calls from the boss only ring at the office. Google Voice users can receive transcribed voicemails and read or listen to them online. They can also read, send and search text messages and call logs online at www.google.com/voice.
Wow! Great
Intresting but what about others!

MMS has been one of the constant feature requests since we launched Google Voice and we’ve been hard at work trying to make this happen.
Today, we're happy to announce that we've made the first step in our efforts to bring this feature to our users. Google Voice users are now able to receive pictures and other multimedia messages from Sprint subscribers. The multimedia attachments will display on their mobile forwarding phone and in their email inbox when they enable text to email forwarding in their Google Voice settings. We are also planning on making them display in the Google Voice inbox.
We are working with other mobile operators to make this work across all mobile phones and will update our users as more and more operators offer support for this.

What are chat features?
Chat features provide an upgraded, rich messaging experience. Chat features:
Show you when someone is typing
Offer read receipts (show when someone has read or received your message, as well as showing your contact when you read their message)
Send messages over mobile data and Wi-Fi
Lets you share files and high-resolution photos
When using chat features, your messages are sent using the Rich Communication Services (RCS) protocol over Wi-Fi and mobile data. Chat features will be turned on only when all the participants in a conversation have chat features. Either your RCS service provider (e.g., mobile carrier) or Jibe Mobile from Google can provide chat features. This article describes chat features by Google.
If your carrier supports RCS (Rich Communication Services) but the RCS is not enabled on your galaxy S20, sharing this vid you can follow to activate it .
For those who don't know what RCS is, it's a feature where you can send original quality or hi-res photos, video and other large supported files using your phones messaging app. It's like iMessage.
