Android Messages RCS Chat - Sony Xperia 1 II Questions & Answers

Does anyone know if the American version of the Xperia 1ii on T-Mobile can work with RCS Chat through Android Messages? When I went to turn on the feature, it says that the feature isn't available for the device. This just seems really weird, especially since it worked on the Xperia 1 ( which I upgraded from).
Any ideas?

I had this working on T-Mobile. Update Carrier Services in the Play Store

Hi, thanks for the quick reply. Unfortunately, carrier services is on the latest version, and I also checked the APN settings to make sure they were correct. After restarting the device, now the Messages app indefinitely tries to verify my phone number, to no success.
Thanks for the quick reply.

I've had similar issues with RCS on other unlocked phones. If you clear the data of carrier services and either data/cache of messages that normally did the trick for me. Clearing data in messages only resets the app settings and does not get rid of messages. But will unarchieve messages that were before.
I haven't had to do it in a while and not on my mark ii, but it would take care of RCS and random Google Phone app issues on my Nokia Pureviw and Xperia 1.
Hope it helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried this a bunch of times, and still no dice. I will say that my phone is still on the August security patches. Not sure if this matters, but just thought I'd point that out. Cheers.

Yeah, I don't know why we're still on Aug 2020. Other variants got September and October.
Have you tried uninstalling updates on carrier service and then reinstalling the updates? If I remember correctly the carrier service app is the main drive behind it. Maybe Google Play System and Service has something to do with it too?

I have tried that, but still nothing. It's really frustrating, because little things like this that I'm noticing after having the phone for a couple of months that make me feel the 1ii is a downgrade from the Xperia 1. Thanks again.

So I actually got in contact with Sony, and they said that the phone does not come with the RCS universal profile 1.0, which is required for it work. How is this even possible?

[Q] Sprint Ativ S Neo WP 8.1 Data Problems

I updated to the 8.1 developers preview on my Sprint Samsung Ativ S Neo and everything worked well yesterday. Today when I left the house I found that I can't access cellular data.
I've checked to make sure cellular data is enabled, tried profile updates, etc. and I'm stumped. I was hoping that someone could either direct me to a place where I can download a ROM to flash back to the stock version of WP 8 or suggest some additional troubleshooting steps.

Nevermind - Saw your post in the other thread - Vodaphone.
Who is your provider? Sprint customer service and two Sprint stores were clueless on what the APN should be. I asked the question directly. I have also done much searching and came up with nothing (that works) for Sprint.

Sprint apn settings
Okay, So I'm curious what the sprint apn settings are because nothing allows me to get MMS back working on my developer preview Sprint Samsung Ativ S Neo. If someone could post them that would really help.
The other thing I'm curious about is if anyone knows how to get back to standard windows 8.0 on my sprint samsung ativ s neo. I guess my data problems stem from the fact that I've done a hard reset on the phone and that's why MMS isn't working. I was able to do some tricks with activation to get data working but still no MMS.
Please someone post how to get standard windows 8.0 back. Thanks!

Call Problems

Don't know if this issue has been addressed but my Nexus 6 is 2 months old. Recently no one I call can hear me but if they call me back everything is fine. My phone is completely stock running 5.01 on Cricket Mobile with LTE working everywhere I go. Any thoughts or suggestions? I bought this phone straight from Motorola if this makes a difference.

Have you ever received notification for an OTA to 5.1?
---------- Post added at 10:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:14 AM ----------
Sorry for OT question first.
No, have never received it yet! Been frustrated by this but since I paid $700 out of pocket was worried about doing it myself. Has this been addressed in 5.1?

Well, I've been searching the Q&A forum for this and at first, I haven't found what I'm looking for. I know I've read of this issue before though. If you want to try to get the OTA, here's a simple way:
Power off your Nexus. Remove the Sim card. Power on and let it sit for a while. Reminder, you won't be able to call or receive calls for this time. The OTA should appear shortly, especially if connected to WiFi. Install OTA and let the phone do its thing. Once all is said and done, reinsert your Sim.
Yeah, I have seen this problem on different forums myself with really no clear cut answer. Thanks I will try that for my update and let you know how it goes as far as the calls. Thanks!

No problem at all. Then it appears the Sprint issues do not apply here. Also, in settings>more>cellular networks, is your "Preferred network settings" set to global or LTE (recommended)?
It is set to LTE

As it should be, but you could try switching to global to see if there's any improvement. I think the OTA may solve this as well.
There is no option to switch back to global. After a factory reset it is in global mode if changed to LTE it will not go back. Also, I'm at work so WiFi in my part of the plant is very weak so should I wait until I get home to do the sim pull and then let my phone try to receive the OTA maybe overnight on my home Wi-Fi?

That would be ideal. I'm sorry we couldn't get it straight but I'm confident that we tried all of the stock options available. Your bootloader is locked, right?
Yes, bootloader is locked. And thanks for trying. I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow
So I did what you said as far as powering off, removing Sim and powering up. Let it sit all night like this connected to WiFi and still no OTA for 5.1 Also factory reset this morning and now I can't even receive calls and people hear me. Beyond frustrated!

Are you able to contact the provider and have them reactivate? That might be necessary. You may want to consider unlocking the bootloader, at this point, since you've already factory reset. You could then flash the factory image.

Constant text (sms), every hour from 9485: itson:cAwASAQY3MjMyMDgCCAAAAUoudB8

Good morning ALL,
5 Days ago i started receiving this text: 9485: itson:cAwASAQY3MjMyMDgCCAAAAUoudB8 every hour. From what i hear it is related to Sprint's "Itson" service which is used in billing. That is all i know. I am not sure what caused it. I just did a factory reset and its still going on.
I have blocked "9485" on sprint.com but that did not stop the messages. I do not use hangouts nor do i use GV. Any help would be much appreciated. I have tried everything including a factory reset.
-Steve
Some more information would be helpful, such as what device you're using. ItsOn is a system for prepaid Sprint customers. Many developers have removed it from their ROM's. There are some recovery flashable scripts available to remove ItsOn from devices, also.

Guys thanks for trying to resolve this. I believe i found the issue.
I sold my old galaxy S5 a few days prior to the start of this nightmare.
It appears that when my old phone was switched to a new number, the "NAI" and "MSID" did not update properly. When that happens it can result in various text messages. I saw this somewhere online.
I called sprint and asked to change my "NAI". They did and it has been a few hours since the last txt. So hopefully they do not return.
Thanks again.

Google Fi and Verizon DSDS Working

I can confirm DSDS works with Google Fi and Verizon. This was one of the main reasons I wanted the Pixel 4. I ordered directly from Fi so they added a second Fi sim. I removed that and put the Version sim in and reactivated with the Google Fi app. It asked me if I wanted to use two sims and completed the setup. I then went into the mobile settings and changed the sim i wanted as call/sms and data.
I am using the eSim with Google Fi. And I am in the boondocks. It is great so far.
Sent from my Pixel 4 XL using Tapatalk
Yeah my Fi service is fine. That's not my issue, I have a work phone with Verizon and now I just need the Pixel 4 with DSDS. No more keeping two phones with me. The other plus side is if service for Sprint or TMobile is bad I can switch to Verizon.

So, while I use AT&T & Fi this is what happens for me.
If AT&T is primary calls & text, as well as mobile data, I cannot enable RCS (as expected).
If I switch to Fi for calls & text, as well as mobile data, RCS becomes enabled.
I haven't tried it without data, but will get around to that eventually.
Unfortunately no one to check out if it actually works!

Ok thanks. Verizon actually has RCS and it worked without dsds on my P3. I tried what you did but no RCS on my 3a. Waiting on my P4 and I'll try it when I get it set up later.
I use hangouts for calls and SMS so RCS is not an option for me.

@uicnren It works on the P4 whereas it didn't on the 3a. I hope I didn't insult that gent I didn't mean to. I just needed to know about RCS in messages. Hangouts doesn't concern me since I don't have it installed. Loving this phone so far. Those reviewers can bite me.

Its already fraught with peril. It's still gonna be a half-cocked implementation. Doesn't look like it will be universal profile, but may ne compatible with it.
The only hope for me is that it integrates with the Android Messages app.
I won't use a carrier supplied piece of software to do it. They probably will try and charge for it as well knowing the greedy carriers.

And now RCS is gone once again. Worked for a day now disabled.
@bobby janow to clear the air i'll explain my response that you think is unrelated to your question. I tried RCS with the Verizon sim as call/sms/data and I was not able to enable it in messages. "not supported" When I tried with Fi esim call/sms/data I had issues because I use hangouts for calls and sms so RCS is not compatible with this configuration. It tried to enable it but I never got the code via sms. So I turned off Fi hangouts integration and tried again but was still unable to get RCS working and that was surprising because I was using just Fi esim for calls/sms/data with hangouts integration off. I tried clearing carrier services and messages cache, data and stopped the services but it would still fail enabling RCS in messages. I also tried with Fi esim call/sms and Verizon sim data but that did not work. It seems while using DSDS no mater what configuration is used it has issues with RCS. I will keep messing around with it and report back if i find anything.
@cursixx That most certainly applies to my experiences. Now the thing is when I set up the P4 last night I had RCS working with dsds. Verizon physical fi esim. Then this morning it's gone. I opened a case with Fi today and they acknowledged there were issues. So we'll see where that goes. I might temp remove the Verizon sim just to test. Very weird.

I thought about doing the same and removing the Verizon sim because I expected RCS to work with the Fi esim set to call/sms/data and it did not. I did notice after clearing data + cache for carrier services and messages the sms from google was in there with the code. I messed around with RCS when google enabled it early this year but haven't used it since because getting calls and text via hangouts on my computers was more important. I'm just happy having working DSDS on the device.
What I found. Mine 'disappeared' after I switched back to AT&T for all services.
When I switched back to Fi for all services, it wouldn't connect. I rebooted phone, and when it was done, it connected again without issue.
Physical SIM (AT&T) in the whole time.

Thanks but I just tried that to no avail. Glad you got it working but obviously it's quite problematic. Maybe one day. Was reading about the new messenger app Vzw, Att and Sprint were going to roll out next year. Sounds like a battery draining POS. I'm not going to obsess over it for a day or so then I'll revisit it at some point. It's not really all that crucial.
And thanks for the dark animation fix. That worked great.
edit: omg I've entered the Twilight Zone. Just for the f of it I said.. ok bj check RCS. And now it's enabled? Really? I give up this makes no sense.

Holy cow, that thread has taken off. You did all those steps and still nothing? I'm afraid to mess with it since it's still working. I have a feeling that Fi support or Google did something in the background to enable it. Because I didn't do anything and all of a sudden it was active. I know it wasn't Verizon because my wife has it working on her P3 single sim and has for some time.

tmo and RCS?

I have messages and The chat features menu says unavailable on this device because your carrier does not support. Is this accurate?
In another thread, it says we likely haven't gotten the new updated app and or it's just not working on T-Mobile
I don't know how to link to it from within the app

It is a staged Google roll-out, could take up to a few weeks, possibly even longer.

If you do employ the hack, Google says you will also be moved to the 'official' method eventually as well automagically: https://twitter.com/sanazahari/status/1195035703266037760

Any news on DSDS breaking RCS on all carriers? I can't seem to find a definitive answer. I know you've tried before and we can get it going temporarily, but even now it doesn't stick.

I havent, messed with mine at all since I enabled it via the hack. I have my Fi service paused for the last week or so, since I havent needed it.
My RCS via AT&T with the hack is working fine, both on mine and my daughters phones, but not tried it anymore with DSDS on.

I did those hacks with the latest version (apkmirror) with dsds and it did work. Been a few hours now with no crap out but let's see about tomorrow.
What is Dsds
My hack is still working fine. On TMO and have been updating the Messages app too.

Dual sim, one physical and one eSim. Both active and on standby. Once one sim is in use as in a phone call the other becomes inactive. RCS would never stick if you could get it enabled but with the new version and the Activity launcher hack it is holding now, or so it seems.
Rcs not working on tmobile with dual sim activated as soon as i deleted esim with google fi rcs start working perfectly
