Need to test Google RCS messaging - Google Pixel 2 XL Questions & Answers

Hey guys, are there any users on here that have RCS messaging through the Google messaging app enabled? I desperately need someone to test my RCS functionality with. Please PM me if anybody is willing to test with me, thanks.

I need to set it up and then could test.

I can test with you now that I confirmed mine is working perfectly.

I haven't installed yet, but sounds like you have tested with others.

Log out of Hangouts first.
I just contacted Google support with this same issue and they helped me resolve this with the following steps:
Turn on Airplane mode.
Open the Settings app.
Tap Apps & notifications. If you don't see all your apps, first tap See all apps or App info.
At the top right, tap More More and then Show system.
Tap Carrier Services.
Tap Force stop and then Ok.
Tap Storage and then Clear data.
Go back to the "App info" screen.
Tap Messages.
Tap Force stop and then Ok.
Tap Storage and then Clear data.
Turn off Airplane mode.
Then, when I opened Messages and checked the settings, it suddenly said "Connected" "Chat features are ready for use"

Has anyone updated their messaging app today? Does the latest update break RCS by any chance?

looks like were all good

I am on TMobile and mine is working on my P2XL
I updated last night and it's still working

I doubt you guys have this. But I am from Australia and have a sim carrier that offers RCS. I cannot talk to my american friend with it but I can talk to my family. I did the above tweak and I could talk to my mate but couldn't talk to my family, and a reboot reverted it. So if anyone has that issue that's way, it seems to be two different servers.

It does NOT break RCS. I took the plunge and updated.

Verizon Pixel XL no Visual Voicemail

I just spent 2 hours on the phone with tech. I get a VM and the notification. When I go to play it through the phone app native to the phone I get an error saying to call tech support and give them code 9999. I can manually dial .86 and enter my pass bit that isn't doing me any good.
Anyone else having issues? I'm going to try Google tech next...

I am having the same problem, however I started having this problem with my note 7 last night too so it could be something system related and not phone related

Verified this works
Not to harp here but these settings are like little easter eggs when you get a new phone. It's all part of the ritual. You should go walk about on the entire interface, settings, sub menus etc. Even if that sounds annoying to you, do it and enjoy because in three weeks, it's just your phone and loses its gas like any other toy.

Once you activate it in phone settings it works perfectly.

Honestly went into the phone icon, went all the way to right hand side to get to voicemail. There was a box that popped up that said visual voicemail on carrier blah blah and hit turn on or activate or whatever it said

I have mine working but only after dialing *73 which force enables carrier voicemail. After this I went to Visual voicemail tab and they started pouring in. I then had my wife leave a message to verify working and it showed up no problem. Have you tried dialing *73?
I did try that yesterday....thank you!

Verizon's, but it's built into the Phone app loaded on the Pixel and Pixel XL from Verizon
Isn't the built in VVM in the phone app Google's VVM. Even on Verizons?

RCS Messaging not activating since Oreo 8.0

Anyone got issues to activate the "Enhanced features" in Android Message. It was working fine in my previous Pixel XL but since I replaced and upgraded Oreo. It just loops without doing anything.
Anyone got that issue ?

I have the same thing happening. Also with Rogers. I called their tech support, but no help. I tried Google support and they didn't have an answer, but suggested sending in feedback via the Support section on the Pixel.
I did do a factory reset, and this problem started after that. My son also has a Pixel, and has also updated to Oreo. He didn't do a factory reset though, just the OTA update, and his RCS is still working.

I called Rogers. They tried to wipe my profile and then I waited for it to be resupplied. It didn't work.... Google are unaware.
Where did you report that bug? In the app itself ?
I wonder if anyone else on Oreo can try to disable it and re enable it to see if it will go back on

I reported it through Google Support. Go to Settings -> Support -> Search Help & Send Feedback -> Send Feedback.
I'll see if I can disable and re-enable it on my son's phone. Hopefully he won't mind being a guinea pig!

Btw. Today, RCS activated itself. I tried to disable and enable it again and it worked. I tested it with my friend and it works fine.
Pretty weird that it's working now. Did you give it another chance ?

hi can someone help me get my screen call working.

I have a pixel 3 xl with the latest December firmware, I'm on T-Mobile and I live in Florida. As I said everything is updated I have the call screen option in the phone app, I even have dark mode. Now when you go to change the voice selection in call screen, the voice part is greyed out and says "ACTIVATING CALL SCREEN REQUIRES WIFI " I connect to both wifi and hotspot and still not activating.I contacted Google like 15 times send bug report, still no help.

Are you a beta tester of the phone app? I was a beta tester and I had an issue slightly different than yours. I was able to activate it but it didn't work. I opted out of the beta testing and then uninstalled and reinstalled the app and it worked. Maybe try to become a beta tester if you're not one already. Just throwing some suggestions out.
Ok I will try that thank you

Enable RCS in Android Messages

I just tried this and it worked for me (surprisingly): https://www.reddit.com/r/UniversalP...utorial_enable_rcs_on_any_carrierdevice_with/
I am on T-Mobile USA.

I just wanted to say thank you for sharing. I tried it, and it worked as well! I am on t-mobile USA too.
For what its worth, I forgot to turn off wifi during the setup, and my OTP pattern would still be blank after I selected it... But I still went to my home screen and opened up messenger and an option came to enable it.
Nice!
I tried and was unsuccessful. I have Straightalk.
Don't forget You need to be on Messages Beta before starting the process.
The steps I followed were from the top comment on the reddit post. The top comment guy simplified the instructions, I recommend following those.
I woke up and it's all over the web now though. I'm sure there might be some more clearer instructions.
I had this working as well for a couple days. This afternoon it seems to have disappeared though. The only thing that I can think of that I did to lose it was change one of the options under chat features. I changed the "resend via sms/mms" option to "ask" or something like that. When I got home from work I noticed that the chat features option shows the "chat features unavailable for this device" screen.
I was going bonkers as to why I could get so close but it end up just not working.... Then to read closer that NO Dual SIM devices are supported right now.
After Google Play updated Messages Beta and Activity launcher, RCS no longer works. Update came in last night 10/31.
Edit:
After uninstalling latest update and reinstalled Messages 5.2.051 (Pegasus_RC05_xxhdpi.phone) (arm64-v8a) (400-480dpi) (Android 5.0+) everything is up and working again. If anyone needs help with the steps I took to fix let me know.

It doesn't support dual Sims if you have 2 installed. It works perfectly if only one SIM is installed. I can't speak if you have 2 installed as I only have one.

Question Call Screen update isn't ready

Hello, I need some advise please as I am unable to get Call Screen to work on my Pixel 6 Pro. Ironically it is working on my old 3 XL lol.
When I go into the settings for Call Screen it says to download a language update then says update isn't ready. Screenshot attached.
Any Ideas please?
Can't advise but having same problem so curious to see if anyone comes up with a fix!
Sorry I don't have anything helpful to add other than that it is working for me.

Yes I am outside the US. I'm in the UK however it does work on my Pixel 3 XL and I know they have announced it was coming to the UK so I don't believe location is the issue. Where abouts are you located?
Australia here. Same issue. No fix to report though.
Having the same issues with mine and my wipes P6P and P6 ... It's a bummer because I know other people in Australia have it working fine.
It's working on my Pixel 6 Pro in the UK. It did say it needed to download a language pack but calling my number shows call screen and it works.
The error on mine disappeared this morning randomly - I didn't do anything. Can now see the voice options as well as the demo. Could only see demo yesterday with the error popping up wrt the download.
I can see the voice options today which were not there yesterday and when someone calls it shows call screen but it still doesn't work.
Does the transcript work ok on yours?
Called myself !
No it doesn't work. Press call screen it answers but then no transcript. Can't even hang up as buttons greyed out.
Actually tried it again and it worked ok.
First time defo didn't but each subsequent time working ok.
Bit weird.
It's working for me on Pixel 6 Pro. May be there's a setting somewhere that's messed up.
With this feature only just rolling out in the UK I think they're probably still enabling it etc at the server end. It'll likely just start working soon. Fingers crossed for everyone!
