I got a notification to enable these enhanced features

WTH is RCS?

Messaging system, Rich Communication Services, it's like iMessage, read receipts, typing notifications, etc, Android is working in Implementing it

Did a quick Google search and apparently you have it becuase Google released to a few people to test, lucky basta** lol

Got the same messenger update as well. If Google created a messenger that worked over wifi and sms like iMessage, that would be great.

Says only 6p and pixel xl. For sprint t-mobile and att. Verizon is not capable..... Surprising usually Sprint users like myself always get the back end of things it's finally nice to see another carrier this time.

Well I'm on Shamu not 6p and I received these features

You may be able to "get it" by turning off battery optimization for the app in Settings - Battery - 3 dot menu then Battery Optimization - select Google Messenger and "Don't Optimize".

Only on Sprint now.
Today, Google has announced that it is launching Rich Comunications Services (RCS) on Sprint, making this the first carrier launch from Google. RCS Messaging on Sprint, powered by the Jibe RCS cloud platform, will bring new features to SMS, like group chat, high resolution photo sharing, read receipts and more. To make use of this upgrade, users on Sprint need to grab the latest Messenger update. Further, new Android devices from Sprint coming next year will come with Messenger preloaded as the default SMS and RCS app.

Since Project Fi utilizes Sprint shouldn't we be able to use this too? Kinda lame how Fi users dont get features like this first

Opera Max will help you save data traffic on all your apps in Nexus Devices

Opera is working in a new service called Opera Max that will help you save data on all your apps, not just the browser. It compresses data for every image, video and text file downloaded to your device regardless of the application downloading it.
It works by installing the Opera Max application on your Android device. The app configures a VPN server on your device and routs all your data through it. The server will compress all data before sending it to your device, thus saving your data and time. This works for all apps except those that use https, so any secure content such as online payments and mail services won’t be compressed.
The service is currently in beta and Opera is looking for people in the US to test it out for them. You will find the instructions to sign up for it and the download link for the app in the source link below.
For DownLoading app and more detail click on source Link below.

Nice... all my data is now routed through Opera's servers?? I hope I can get into the Beta before it fills up!!!!
Nexus 5 is currently not supported.
We have temporarily disabled support for Nexus 5 , Androis OS 4.4.x (Kit Kat). We had a number of users raise issues . After some preliminary investigation , it seems that Google shipped several known VPN API bugs in their Kit Kat release: http://phandroid.com/2013/11/12/android-kitkat-vpn-bug/ .
We just armed our development team with nexus 5's and other Kit Kat enabled devices. We are going to get to the bottom of this (if its an Opera Max app issue, we will fix it, if its Google's problem we will raise the issue with them and urge them to provide a fix asap).
Appreciate your patience as we iron out the kinks in our beta.
Please stay tuned for Opera Max updates.

Works pretty good so far idk why they're not letting us use it. I know the picture shows wifi. I disabled wifi after the pictures and used it.

ESPN SportsCenter App

Does anyone have this working on their Nexus 6? It says not compatible with your device, for me and my buddy both.
Never had an issue with it on my N5 and I use it more than any app.

Is that just the latest version's apk? I'll go that route but hopefully ESPN/Google fixes this, assuming it's thinking the device is a tablet or something.

Yep. Seems like it. Just watched a video on it.
Edit: It's probably a DPI thing. It will get sorted out soon.
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
Shows that its compatible here, I am on a custom dpi though. At 480 dpi right now.
never worked on any of my tablets. Pull it off another device and and install. Will work fine
I used the APK on both my N6 and N9. Working fine.
Watch ESPN works. I wonder if they have not updated scorecenter for android 5. Last update was 10/14

Have you noticed any issues using 480?
I thought it was an Android 5 issue. My N5, when updated to 5.0, didn't allow me to download it either.
I'll try changing DPI to see if it works.
I'm not 100% sure. My DPI is set to 493, and I can download it. But what I cannot download is the ESPN FC app.
My device is compatible for this app ..
This might not be a popular opinion, but if you can't download ScoreCenter, just download Yahoo Sports. Yahoo's app is a million times better than ESPN's. Trust me, I used to swear by ScoreCenter, but I heard a bunch of people on Twitter hyping up Yahoo's app. I finally gave it a try and was blown away. I don't even bother with ScoreCenter anymore.
Just use market helper to spoof your phone.

I think issue isn't android lolipop its the screen resolution that i is causing the issue I pulled apk using myappsharer from another phone I can post if anybody needs.
did they finally start using video clips that aren't from dial-up? that's the reason i uninstalled earlier this year.

No. It was never "compatible" with any tablet I've owned. I'm sure the issue is screen size

Unable to track Using T mobile FamilyWhere

Having a bit of a problem using familywhere on t mobile. I'm able to locate myself and anyone else in my family using a galaxy s6, an idol 3, and a nexus 6 that a bought this summer. But i'm unable to locate anyone using a nexus 6 a bought last week and a nexus 6 that I bought last month. I've checked and double checked the settings, have the t mobile build of 6.0. everything seems the same as the older nexus 6 (same build mra58x, same settings) but I still cant find a way to get the 2 newer phones located. I have also switched out sims from other family members who are part of the account and its unable to locate any of the on the newer nexus 6, but work fine on my other phones including that older nexus 6. Anyone have any ideas or tips?
Has anyone else experienced a similar issue on t mobile? Perhaps its not the device but the service itself. Still difficult to understand because I've even been able to track a moto e 2015 Verizon phone that has been unlocked.
i enabled the tmo settings for it online and it tracked my n6 no problem. it was so annoying though, so i disabled it again.

Quick question, did you buy the nexus 6 from t mobile?

yes. but i dont think that would do anything for it, as all nexus 6 are running the same software, and i dont run any of the specific tmobile builds(im always modding my phone).
Ok so after messing around with settings I was able to get the phone to be located by going into the cell networks settings menu and switching off 'Enhanced 4G LTE Mode'. Not sure if this means I wont get hd voice or volte though. That older nexus 6 that has always worked in familywhere has enhanced 4g enabled, and everything works fine. Maybe its some bug?
odd. mines on, volte and everything is working. bug, maybe. or a bug on their end?

If I am note mistaken it's either Shot&More or another version of the Burst Mode.
I remember seeing this function in action, at their Live Broadcast Release Preview Introduction for either the Note 5 or the S6, but I cant find any youtube video of it.

I was only able to find one of the MODE apk that work, the rest of them won't install
The mode I finally found for my photo that I posted is called Surround Shot that has several other features.
I found a youtube video about it and I am sharing a link.
https://youtu.be/_Z943NlJ64g?t=2m4s
OK found out alittle more about the app in reference to my photo that I post. The app was release back when S6 was release. The app was called Shot and More that was under the Surround Shot app. So it was an app within an app within another app. Crazy. I was able to install the app but it not functional. The phone or app freezes for about 15 seconds and gives you an option to send a notification about the failure to Samsung. I went ahead and just beg Samsung to bring that app and Live Broadcast back!!! I'm sure i'm not the only one missing these apps.
Funny thing is that Samsung beg for us to stay with them after the failure of the Note 7, and said they made the Note 8 better.
In my eyes, removing some of the great software apps is not making me happy either. I think it's time for me to dump Samsung and just go with Google Pixel 2 XL....
Them removing these software is a deal breaker for me.
Here's a better youtube video of the "Surround Shot > Shot & More > Drama shot" that was added into the phone. https://youtu.be/TwKJttyNGss?t=3m12s

Pixel 4XL Chat Features on Google Messages

Why chat features are enabled on the Pixel 3 3XL and 3a and not on the 4 and 4XL?
I have no idea. I am also unable to use it with Bell Mobility.

What carrier are you on? It works for me on Sprint.
Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk
Messages on my P4XL just let me know chat features are available.
Someone on Reddit figured out how to enable RCS on any Android phone on any carrier!
https://www.reddit.com/r/UniversalP...a2v8r?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share
You'll need an app called Activity Launcher: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.szalkowski.activitylauncher
I suggest you turn off WiFi before setup
Steps:
1.) Enroll in Messages Beta and install
2.) Download Activity Launcher
3.) Clear the data of 'Carrier Services' and force stop 'Android Messages.'
4.) Open Activity Launcher
5.) Tap 'Recent Activities,' and in the menu choose 'All Activities.'
6.) Look for 'Messages'
7.) Tap it, then scroll until you find 'Set RCS Flags'
8.) After pressing it select 'ACS Url"' and in the menu select 'http://rcs-acs-prod-us.sandbox google.com/.'
9.) Select OTP Pattern, and in the menu click, YourlsMessenger\sverification\scode\sis\sG-(\d {6}).
10.) Click Apply
11.) Follow setup in Messages. Will take around three minutes.
IT WORKED!!! After several attempts it worked by joining the Google Messages beta program

T-Mobile. Apparently Sprint was the only carrier that had Pixel 4s RCS ready out the box in the US.
It also works on older devices. It worked on both my LG V20 and V10.
This also worked for me on P2XL on ATT
**** the carriers "NEW NEW RCS initiative" that will probably take for ****ing ever and be the most ****ty app.

Maybe that correlates with the eSIM setup that shows AT&T and Sprint first?

The instructions provided on Reddit worked for me to enable Chat on Bell Mobility in Canada. Now if I could only test it with somebody...
Doesn't work for me, tried on 4g only and on wifi, no go
I got it enabled on my V30 (waiting on my 4XL oh so orange after selling my 3XL) but I'm kinda confused about it. If someone is on an iPhone, does it actually work? When I send a message it just says sent SMS
