i am unable to find set rcs flag option in activity launcher realme x2 pro Android 10
I did according to your instructions but in activity launcher app, in my messages, there is no "Set RCS Flags" option. Now, how can I fix that problem?
I am really confused because when I opened the launcher it never showed a rcs option for me
I opened it launcher and I didn't see RCS
I also followed the instructions perfectly on my note 9 and there are no rcs options
Same here.
I also didn't get the rsc option
How can i solve this
Same 😭
Thank you for this. I had this on my previous samsung note 10 but updated to note 20 ultra (love it) and download messager by Google but I didn't have RCS. Looked at this video and realized that I didn't have the carrier services installed on my phone. Downloaded it and it can Immediately thanks so much
Do I need to keep activity launcher after setup or do I need to keep it?
Note 10+ with Verizon. Worked instantly. But do have a question-whats the process if I want to go back to before these steps? Just delete the downloaded apps ? What's that look like or will it cause problems? The little warning when adding that one app made me a bit nervous
Worked on my exynos s10+ on “JIO” Network here in India🇮🇳. Again Thanks Sak for your wonderful and unique android coverage and tips and tricks.. Will share the video with my friends..
Bro I was unable to use it... It threw an error the same is it supported
Hi bro just wanna ask how's battery life on ur device as I'm getting only 3 to 4sot :(
Karan Preet I'm getting 6 hours atleast bro. Download accubattery app to know battery details. Your battery health might be low.
@@parthoomphy7214 I've reset my phone a couple of days ago and I'm on latest beta too. Let's see hows the battery now and I've also installed accubattery before when I reset. I thought it would drain my battery a lot. Should I install it anyway now?? After resetting?
Karan Preet it doesn't drain your battery like other similar battery apps. You can check in settings about its battery consumption. It's a nice app to know exactly what tour battery performance and health status is.
Thank you for the video. In 2022, do we still need to have the activity launcher app for enabling RCS messages?
So I have the S10+ with AT&T. I followed the steps and it works good. The only thing was after I did all the steps and you go to settings in the messages app. On the top where it says, “ status ” it was connecting. To the right of that it said Retry. So when I hit retry it's asked me to put my number in and it took about 1 minute, and it changed from connecting to connected. Thanks Saki
The most instructive video about how to do it, thanks.
One question: What to do with the Activity Launcher after the setup ?
Its work now. But it will gone the RCS? if we uninstall activity launcher?
Hello Saki. Just like you said. I was following with you the steps, until I went to the activity launcher didn't see the "Setup RCS" etc. in the list. But as always an excellent instructional presentation. You give us every detail. 👍
I had the same problem and it looks like several others also did. I hate tutorials where they dump the info and then leave you stranded.
me too. Now what?
Try rooting your phone
@@Speedster2707 trying rooting your phone and enable privilege mode
@@madmatt1964ify try rooting your phone and enable privilege mode
Guys I don't know why this fails on my phone, I've tried it now for about 3 times Now.... Finally I give up and wait for official launch 😥😥
After I update messages, set RCS flags no longer appears in activity launcher. I tried without updating it, it shows but does nothing
I just got the update today, i'm in ny and have the s10 plus on att, but I don't see any difference, is it because most of the people I interact with use I phones not android?
i use public mobile canada. it doesnt work on my s8. tried following your instruction but if i click set RCS flag a message comes up saying Starting activity: com.google.android.apps.messaging/.ui.appsettings.rcs.overide.OverideFlagActivity and it doesnt take me there. i even downloaded an older messages version as suggested by some users and finally completed the steps but the chat features says its not available on my device. any idea how to fix this?
Open up the activity launcher click on google messages but when I scroll down the list didn't see RCS flags
RCS, not RSC.
Good tutorial, though!
@@Nick_Gir Same, makes him sound like an amateur
@@Nick_Gir go ahead and unsubscribe cry baby
First of all why is it necessary to download the launcher and do all those other steps??? And second, this dude literally had the RCS letters in front of him and still got them wrong!
I didn't find (Set RCS Flags)
Same here
Same here with latest Messages Beta update.
The option was there before, not anymore now
Same!
I went through this process with my Note 10+ on AT&T and got it to turn on, but as soon as I sent a message it seems to clear itself out and I need to set up again. Thoughts?
Do I need to keep Activity Launcher? Is it safe to delete it?
Thanks Saki. The only thing my phone didn't let me do was the Flag RCS direction from the Activity Launcher. Everything else seemed to work and I even got the same messages at the end saying chat features were upgraded. Should I be concerned?
Everything is okay with me I followed all your steps but the only problem is when the app asking me for verification after I put my phone number I didn't receive any code with 6 digit
Using the OnePlus 6 and didn't have it. My friend has the 6t and has it already. This tutorial fixed it. Thank you!
Hi Sakitech I installed it on my Note 10 plus with all the steps just wanna know does it only work if the other person must have the same app?
Yes other person must have the app
@@jbrei713 thanks👍👏
Finally got this thing working! Thank you so much! Everywhere I looked explained the same steps without joining the beta part which I think it's what got mine working!
Just staying in setting up mode. Sent a code and I sent out back but still won't set up?? Thank you
same
Do u have to leave the activity launcher installed or can it be uninstalled
Thank you so much your videos are very informative and are great. I just got a note 10 plus unlocked version and it keep telling me my carrier doesn't support it I watched your video and within five minutes it works like a charm thank you again very much i appreciate all your hard work and I'm sure everyone else does too.
Note 10 plus. On Activity Launcher, there was no Set RCS Flags option.
Does it work on galaxy j6 upgraded to one ui 2.0? From Bangladesh.
I need help with the activity launcher part . I dont get the "set RCS sttings" what can i do?
Do you need wifi to send messages using the rcs?
WTH phone are you using... I can’t keep up. I clicked on the set RCS flags and nothing...after selecting chat features everything was already on but status:setting up trying to verify my number?????
I also cannot set RCS Flags at 4:22 in the video. Please advise.
Me too!
Download an earlier version of messages up from apk mirror. December 4th and sooner works. The beauty here is you can still update the app after
@@mrboss20ten i tried that on 2 phones.one didn't work.one worked and then it crashed,i opened the app and it was back to sms.
@@arungade2 are you clearing app data and cache for all apps involved? I'm sorry if it doesn't work for you
@@mrboss20ten yes i clear the data and cache. It's working on my phone. The two phones I was trying belongs to my friends.
Does this process delete all your text messages that you currently have? I don't want to lose my texts in my inbox by doing this.
No it will not.
Is restart and reboot the same?
The RCS settings are not there in the app. Is it possible that the new OPPO A9 (2020) with Android 9 doesn't support it?
It worked on my Cricket Samsung Galaxy S7. Thank you for the video!
It worked for me, the beauty of android I was able to do it in split screen mode I was able to do it step by step great tutorial
I have done all the way to activity launcher where it says "set RCS flags" but it's not showing in my phone and I'm stuck here, slwhat should i do?
Thanks for putting this video together. I was trying to use this but I could not get put the chat features settings. Joining the beta program worked. I did not install the activity launcher, works so far on T-Mobile.
Same here. Join beta program, chat enabled like every other phone. Still preferred an official update though
@@arjl880, for some reason my chat features went back to "carrier does not support..", I had to clear the storage & cache again. Yes, an official update would be good.
Is it region dependant?or can use anywhere with any telco?
The telco must offer RCS. Most do nowadays
got this on my new phone without installing any app
How?
Yea same just get the messages app by Google and then it will come w an update. I didn't have to Update anything.
Yes Google have now made it available for every android phones
@@thiernob.6273 what about my Pixel 1 I don't have it but I have every Android 10 feature
@Seijosske yes they are rolling it out progressively
I do not have a setting in my activity launcher under messages called RCS Flags. Do I need to add something else?
Idk I'm having this problem too
There is no RCS Flags in my activity Launcher 😥
After the latest update to Messages, I'm unable to get this to work
same here
What happened to your subscribers?
Download 5.3.075 apk from the internet
@@moezlamloum Download 5.3.075 apk from the internet
@@eE-nc6jj yeah
O don't think this works for ancient phones before Android 5 or does it? 🤔🤔🤔
Here's a work around. Download messages beta from December 3rd or prior. Should be version 5.3 or so. And follow the same steps. The beauty of this is you're still able to update to the latest version after you got the hack working and it doesn't break.
cannot set RCS flags from activity launcher; help
Me too
Same here
I was able to fix mine..just download an older version of google messenger (5.3)
It actually worked. Confirmed using Unlocked Note 10+
Hey Saki can you do a video update with Samsung messages not Google messages using RCS ?
After updating my galaxy note 10, to android 10 I don't know how to set up or install RSC Messaging, can you help us on doing another tutorial with Adroid 10?
Download messages 5.3 beta or earlier. Then try it. You can update app in play store once hack works
Samsung messages also has RCS..but I would like to know which one does everybody prefer?
My samsung message app on note 10 plus already says chat messages enabled. Does That mean it will be working?
Unless you're on Sprint you're not using the RCS universal profile, but the carriers version of RCS that only works on their network
Can you do a iMessage vs Google Messages, I’m debating on changing over to Android but I’ve yet to see a video of a full comparison of the both
Mine works but says it's setting up the connection but never does. Google pixel 4xl att.
Will - same phone, same result. Instructions forgot the step of turning off WiFi. Once that's done, go through the steps again (don't reinstall anything) and it'll work.
What about samsung message ? Does it support RCS ?
It worked, Note 8 on Verizon. Thank you
I have note 8 on Verizon and when I press set RCS flags nothing happens, you saying it worked for you?
What is the difference between android messages and Google messages..it says chat features is enabled but I can't see the "bubbles" when someone is replying to me
Thanks for the help if having issues how do you go back ?
It was perfect Saki. I have been waiting for this for so long. It's nice to know it's actually here. Thank you for the walk through.
I can't find the "Set RCD flag" option in the Activitie launcher can you help me ?
its removed bruh, U can't do it anymore and this video is useless now.. I have been stuck for days
@@aibelbinzacariah2738 argh shit. 😪 so they don't let you do it by no ways
Got it working on my note 10+5g thanks for the video
Will not let me apply apply disappears after next step from sand box now I have to delete .
rcs flag not showing.what can i do.help plsss
I just tried on my Note 10 + it's working can you help
Got up to the point you take us to activity launcher but do not see "set rcs flags"
Same
RCS flags isn't there
Set rcs flag doesn't work or show sakitech. Idk what's going on, I follow pretty exactly what you did with data on.
With my note 10+, plus I simply downloaded the program and it sent me to all of the proper parameters. I did not have to go through all of the details. At the end it showed it is properly connected
I'm on a Pixel 3 XL, and I seem stuck on "Trying to verify number," after I click on chat in settings.
Anyone else getting this?
I got it to work. However, it's still asking me to verify my number.
Mine is stuck on setting up
Me too.... Sigh
Dears, for all stuck on verify, install latest messages beta and it'll work.
Try to clear cache, data for Messages and reactivate it over cellular connection.
There’s an extra step needed for Note10+ in Singapore where the carrier needs to verify the phone number for dual sim enabled
I'm not seeing rcs flag on the activity launcher app? What do I now if its not showing?
Never Works for me...ive tried 3 good times, the 'set RCS flags' doesn't show up in that activity launcher 💔
Same here
This is nice to have if your contacts also install this....
Perfect. Worked on OnePlus 7 Pro on Verizon.
Its amazing bro love u its working
It keeps go try to verify my phone number but nothing happens. Any ideas?
Clear the cache from carrier services and messages again then force stop messages. It worked for me!
Hmm... this doesnt seem to work anymore? This app cant even find this Set RCS Flags?
I cannot get set rcs flags , it is not in the google messages list that you access through activity launcher
I don't have option rcs flag
I am using realme x2 Pro
When I got to the 'set rcs flag' portion, the 'pattern' option never sets. I go back in and it's in the default setting. And I guess that's why when I open the 'messages' app chat settings said it's unavailable. Probably doesn't help that I have a Samsung S8+. But I saved your video for my next phone upgrade to add this eventually.
What is the advantage of doing this versus keeping the stock, messaging app on my phone
You'll never get RCS universal profile messaging unless you do. If you have a Samsung phone Samsung messages has RCS, but it's the carriers flavor of RCS not the universal profile. Only Sprint is using the universal profile at this time.
Real time texting. Send larger videos, also send non compressed photos.
Ok but it only works if the other party is using RCS
@@Pwnographic91sadly right
All the steps worked but I don't see the features working. No text indicator, higher quality pics, nothing. I have a HTC u11.
I try it on my Verizon Galaxy Note 10+ and it's not working, I think Big red might be blocking it, or maybe it has something to do with Samsung UI 2.1, anyone?
I have an LG Stylo 5 and it just telling me its setting up and then gives me then option to retry. What can I do?
I can't get it on my pixel 2 xl... I get stuck at the app where I'm suppose to press RCS Flags
I have a lg g8. When I go into the launcher I do not see RCS flag. What should I do?
Did not work on my Samsung Galaxy s10 one UI 2.5 followed all steps did not work , I never see the RCS tab in Activity launcher
If you have a Stylo phone from boost Mobile you automatically come with rcs messaging and not LG default messages!
Thanks I followed your instructions and it worked. Thanks a lot.
I did everything but I don't get the set the rcs flag option in message menu?
I did everything but after i open message at last it doesn't show agree and no chat features available
Great tutorial, thanks you. I have successfully set mine up (on an Australian network).
Telstra or other?
@@dylanrjones Telstra
@@7295shane I'm pretty sure it has been active on Telstra for over a year. I had it before I switched to Optus on a Pixel 2XL without having to do any trickery.
I'm subscribed to the best channel on TH-cam
Tried on my S10e from T-Mobile, but it doesn't work. 😭
Love the new Rc messaging thank you I see all your videos but never let a message but love the new message
Followed step by step on my Note 9 but I'm not getting the RCS features? Any ideas?
seemed to work on Note 9 - verizon
I have unlocked note 9 it works
I've noticed the OTP Pattern is blank after I go back to the Activity Launcher. Does this work outside the states?
I got this working on my Verizon note 10 plus, but typing notification does not work and I am still limited to low quality photos and videos. Why would this be?
Did the other person your texting also do the steps to enable RCS?
@@PNW_Phillip Yes. Every thing was done the same. Both said connected and I sent messages both ways with the same results.
I did have my wifi on during the whole setup, but I cant imagine why that would matter.
Can us Samsung and other android users get a 2020 updated version of instructions pls. I really want this on my note 9 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿
