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.

Try and uninstall activity lunchers update as well and reinstall the old one. Clear data on both messages and activity and restart phone and try all steps again.

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.
