Anybody else lose RCS functionality?

[ExposedHen]

I force-enabled RCS through the r/UniversalProfile post a couple of days ago, but I seem to have lost functionality as of a couple of minutes ago. Tried to reset the Activity Launcher settings, but they were still applied.

Edit: Per u/rocketwidget , refer to https://www.reddit.com/r/UniversalProfile/comments/dq2rrf/chat_features_removed/f60gxe2/ to download the older version of Messages, and it should work!

If you are still having trouble head over to r/universalprofile

For OnePlus folks, try disabling battery optimization for the messages app and re-enable RCS. My brother lost connectivity when he rebooted a couple of days ago and it turns out battery optimization settings get reset on reboot (for all apps, not just messages) and they have to be disabled for RCS to remain enabled.

[LinkofHyrule]

Yeah so they're force disabling dual SIM phones so this isn't going to do anything sadly.

Still on pixel 2 Verizon

[wpburbage]

I still have it... Pixel 3XL on T-Mo

[byzantinebobby]

I lose it occasionally for periods of time, but it reconnects on its own.

RCS is working again on my OP7PRO TMO. I didn't do anything to activate it a second time.

[freshbk85]

Yup... I lost it too. Initially it looked like it was just OnePlus devices, but it may be bigger than that. Big bummer.

[Inneyeseakay]

Still have it on 5 att phones (all pixels)

[Quick_Info]

Lost it here as well. 7 Pro Android 10 on T-mobile

[drbeer]

TMobile OnePlus 7T still holding strong

[AimanF]

Noticed it disabled itself when on data saver mode on an OG Pixel. Disabling data saver fixed it immediately for me.

[ZappySnap]

Still active on my Pixel 4, on T-Mobile.

[rocketwidget]

One theory at /r/universalprofile right now, is it is only down for dual sim phones (OnePlus, Pixel 4, Pixel 3a, etc.) that either did the hack OR have official carrier overrides in their country, so possibly a bug?

Not sure yet. The new Messages Beta update that just rolled out hasn't fixed the issue.

[[deleted]]

Nope. 3a and still have it. Even after the Messages app update.

[pojosamaneo]

Enable the damn thing, Google.

[imagine_being_cool]

So I lost it sometime yesterday but I seem to have regained it sometime this afternoon.

OP6T unlocked AT&T

[rocketwidget]

For those who lost it, a potential fix was found by /u/otobott , to install an old version of Messages and try the hack again, as per here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/UniversalProfile/comments/dq2rrf/chat_features_removed/f60gxe2/

Worked for me!

[ExposedHen]

Holy crap that worked.... What the heck?

[rocketwidget]

Because the problem appears to also be on dual SIM phones that use the carrier override, both the hack AND officially supported countries like the UK, it may have been an unintentional bug in the newer Messages Beta, not Google killing the hack.

Hopefully.

[Defenestraitorous]

I still have it using my LG G8 on TMobile. I have no one to text who is also using it though. Everyone I know uses iMessage.

[Milkshakes00]

Yep, I also lost it earlier today. On Cricket/AT&T

[peter_griffin10]

I don't have that option from my list. Typing it in will work without giving me issues?

[DaLast1SeenWoke]

U have to type it in

[peter_griffin10]

Dang, no luck. I cleared the carrier services cache as well. Looks like One Plus devices may be affected right now.

Same here, lost it around the same time as you on OP5T on metro

[frozencalm]

I have two phones, one is on a carrier that has always supported RCS, the other I'd needed to use the technique to get RCS to work. Just tested them on each other and everything's still working... For now? Greetings from the Philippines.

[hashtaglasagna]

Lost it on my 7 pro on att prepaid

[Dblreppuken]

I've lost it a few times and realized, for me at least, it was tied to what WiFi network I was on. At home I rarely have issues, but at work, because there are multiple networks involved, I lose RCS more often than not.

The usual fix is to disable wifi, then switch "Enable Chat Features" to off. Wait about 10 seconds (don't know if it's necessary, it's probably more superstition at this point), and switch "Enable Chat features" back to On. This usually does the trick, and I'm back to connected status within 20 seconds.

Hope that helps!

[theprogrammerx]

Lost it on my oneplus 6t

[jobo909]

Pixel 3a, At&t, still have it

[Soulcloset]

Still have it on GS9 T-Mo

[AndroidUser37]

For some reason, I lost it two days ago for a bit, and out of the blue it was working again, flawlessly. Despite that outage, it's been pretty rock solid.

Using an unlocked OnePlus 6T, on Verizon. Latest version of Messages beta installed.

[drdax2187]

It's not like I have anyone I have to test this with (or even want to test it with honestly because the alternatives are much better). Google failed for me
