Can anyone tell me if they're able to use Hey Google / Google Assistant voice commands on a Galaxy S10 that's been updated to Android 12?
I've been about 2 weeks now, and have failed to get dozen of more suggested fixes to solve the problem of voice commands not working on a renewed S10 I bought on Amazon. It was working out-of-the-box, but after activating the phone and installing a few apps, it hasn't worked since. I was on the phone with Samsung support for an hour or more, and even they weren't able to get it working.
If someone can confirm they have it working on a S10 with the Android 12 update, I'll go ahead and return this one for another. I do like the particularly bright 820 nits screen.
Fervently hoping to get one or more response(s) here on this S10 thread as I've not had luck elsewhere.
Hello TakuSkan, yes the google assistant still works just no more need to say "OK google" you just have to activate it in the parameter so you can choose your assistant between the 3 known bixby or google for alexia pariel you have to install the alexia application Amazon.
Please say hello when you post would be welcome thank you

Hello meric57!
Thanks ever so much for your feedback, That's encouraging to hear. Assistant was set and working when I 1st got the phone. But it seems I've exhausted every approach to get it back. I'm looking to use it for voice commands and hands free navigating Google Maps on my motorcycle via a Sena comms system..
The S10 originally came with Android 9 Pie, but all the renewed ones being sold now have been upgraded to 12 like mine. So you say you have or have seen Android 12 S10s where Assistant and voice commands do operate phone and navigating functions properly? Is that right?
For a while it all seemed to be coming down to wondering if 12 might have been at the root of my problem. But I'll stick with having Amazon swap this 12 S10 with another if folks with the same model & OS version have voice commands working properly.
Thanks again for your input meric57. Much appreciated!
hello,
Yes google assistant works just who no longer needs to say "ok google" just activate in the search parameter "google assistant" then once activate ask directly what you want
Hey...
Yeah, I'm able to ask Assistant whatever I want on my older phone since they dropped OK Google. I'm still wondering if your S10 has been updated to Android 12. Or if anyone else with a S10 with Android 12 can confirm voice commands work for them. I'm a little wary of the v12 upgrade.
Edit: OH! I just spotted "Galaxy S 10 SM-G973F UI Version 4.1 Android 12 XEF" in your signature. Great! Anyone else second this?
erase thank you
Hello TakuSkane, I just saw that you have S10 SM-G973U1 so I think it comes from your problem. Look here to read the first message https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/g973u-and-g973u1 -firmware-links-here.3905852/ you have the link for the firmware or ask here for your concern.
At worst, return your S10 to Amazon and take an S10 from an official operator.
Thanks for the info meric57. I'm not all that tech savvy when it comes to mobile devices. I don't see anything in the 1st post in that thread related to my issue. And it says the G973U1 is for the same phone but without all the carrier bloatware. Which sounds like it would be preferable. Are you suggesting that flashing to G973U might solve my problem?
Hello takuskan, the concern that you have these the S10 the motherboard install SM-G973U1. I do not know if your network and your operator works in your region or not read well all that is marked on the link that I put see more see the posts in the discussion thread.
Me, bixby-alexia-google assistant works on my S10 SM-G973F exynos 4 G.
Hey meric57. Since I can return the phone, that's the "easiest" way forward after chasing fixes for weeks now. I'll look for the G973U, G973U1, G973F models when I choose another. If all I can get that's affordable (cheap) is another G973U1, and if that one still has the problem, I'll follow up here and read through that thread you linked to. But as I've written, Assistant DID work when I 1st got the S10. Sooooo... we'll see. Thanks for being the only soul on these forums to give me a little feedback. In fact I've not gotten any other feedback on other support sites either.
Hello TakuSkan, I don't look at the price, I prefer to buy from an official SFR-orange operator... I'm sure I have a smartphone that works and hassle-free, take a phone from a market or sales site like amazon or others I don't buy I don't trust it tells you unlocked all operators ok my there is a network chip either US or Asia.
It is EU certified for the network
Sadly some folks have no choice but to cut corners as they navigate today's financial super highways.

Hi all,
I have an issue with phone payments since ca. 10th of April. Before that date everything worked properly, then something made payments impossible. Phone suddenly stopped communicating with pay terminals in stores, no reaction between the devices at all (terminals don't see the card). NFC is on and ceecked via other app, credit card is correctly configured and activated in both bank app and Google Pay app. I'm on 9.0.0.197 since around 2 months, so upgrade to EMUI 9 did not cause the problem.
I'm in contact with Google support who seem to flip the problem on user side, HiCare support also does not see the issue on their side, they ask me to perform full wipe and ask questions about HCE activation, which I cannot answer. And, as you go through opinions on Play Store, it looks problem is not only mine, but plenty other M10 Pro, M20 and Honor Play users.
Any thoughts or ideas from you?
Thx,
Chaffinch

Problem solved.
What helped? I was in the beta testers group of Google Play Services. Cancellation of approval for beta testing and getting back of the Google Play Services app to version 13.2.92 (official, non-beta) unlocked payments by phone.
I post it if someone had a similar situation.
Best,

Good news across the interwebs.
RCS working on most (if not all) phones on most (if not all) carriers. I'm not taking credit (or blame), but can confirm (supposedly) it works on my 6t on Verizon.
Need to install Google messages beta and carrier services. Need some way to access activities (I used Nova launcher).
Follow tutorial:
https://www.reddit.com/r/UniversalP...utorial_enable_rcs_on_any_carrierdevice_with/
Handy informative article:
https://www.pixelspot.net/2019/10/2...-any-carrier-and-device-with-google-messages/
As with everything here, blame the guy in the mirror if it goes wrong.
Edit : As of this morning (November 1st), it's no longer working for me. If I run across a reliable guide to get it working again, I'll update the op, but it shouldn't be surprising that this feature is inconsistent on a beta version of an app.
Edit 2: And just like that, messages updated and it's working again. Gotta love betas.
Not working for me. International version , rooted on latest stable os
It only works on wifi for me.
did not work for me either, additionally, I don't understand the significance of RCS. Why do I want/need it?

It works perfect for me.
I am in Beta 01 of android 10.
Thank you so much.

Same. Even then, its super finnicky.
Working for me
Worked perfect for me, wifi or cellular.
TMO 6T converted to international, lastest Android 9 release. I don't keep track of the versions anymore. Fully rooted, twrp and magisk, viper too!
Works perfect for me. A bit of thinkering and troubleshooting but got it to work.
RCS think of chat application integrated in your own ecosystem device.
It works for me also oos a10 b1. There's a post from xda about it. I had to do a couple of extra steps to get it working correctly.
https://www.xda-developers.com/enable-rcs-google-messages-any-carrier/
The biggest part was to ensure I set the following :
ACS Url
‘http://rcs-acs-prod-us.sandbox.google.com/’
OTP Pattern ‘Your\sMessenger\sverification\scode\sis\sG-(\d{6}).’
Pressing apply after changing OTP Pattern to ‘Your\sMessenger\sverification\scode\sis\sG-(\d{6}) does nothing. Not sure if it even applied. If i go back and try to change it again the field its empty.
Changing ACS Url to ‘http://rcs-acs-prod-us.sandbox.google.com/’ works, or at least the option sticks.
Using dual sim here and sim nr was ported, not sure if it can affect. By default the messages app doesn't read my phone nr correctly due to it being ported.
Tried forcing RCS by setting up the correct nr on messages RCS setting but it just sits in "setting up..." status.
Not sure why this matters at all. If the counter party has not enabled RCS this seems pointless. And since Google can and likely will **** this down in the near future it will not matter. Last but not least, I am not impatient enough to care if my counterparty is typing or had read the messsage. If I need to know I text them "did you see this".if they don't answer then I know they have but don't care. The whole iMessage thing has never done anything for me. The most annoying thing is the absolute neutering of videos the moment there is an iMessage user on a thread.
I have this working on two devices and after some testing I have to say unfortunately it is not working enough for day to day use. The RCS communication does work between the two devices if you are actively having a conversation but if you set them down and then try to message one the message will say sent but not be received on the other device until you pick up the other device and send a message to the sending device, then the message will come through and RCS will be working. Basically it works but it is not working to push the message through when not active. I re-tested using sms and all was good. Anyone else experience this?
Working perfectly on T-Mo USA 6t on Android 10
Remember there is no end-to-end encryption when using this. So don't send anything naughty ?
After some digging on the net I came to the conclusion that (1) this is not yet stable (2) not secure (3) if the other party doesn't have RCS it will not work (4) international version of Oneplus 6T will not work due to 2 SIMS .

International OP6T version, 2 SIMs, working perfectly.
I did this two days ago and it is working on my wife's OP6 and my Tmo converted to international 6T. No issues for me. Testing between my wife and I is working, although we typically use hangouts.
I have noone to RCS with but I want to try it out! Anyone down to text ? Lol
Seems like this "hidden trick" is starting to break on certain devices... including this phone
Hi, I've owned a Galaxy Note 9 (SM-N960F/DS, Dutch unbranded) for almost two years now.
I've always kept it at Android 8 as I didn't want to lose call recording, but I didn't know about the option to actually block updates so I just ignored the notifications.
Unfortunately my phone got updated recently (my fault, niece left alone with phone to play games on, wanted to help aunt... stupid mistake on my part).
I'm at Android 10 September 2020 update now.
I've been looking into downgrading (didn't work because apparently bootloader is updated) and changing csc without rooting (tried using *#272*IMEI# but that didn't do anything, after that tried the ChangeCSC Free Tool from this post https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=82875851&postcount=181 but I couldn't get that to work either as Themes doesn't show 'Try it out' but only offers Delete, Update or Buy).
What is the best way to get call recording back on my phone?
I'm not averse to rooting my phone if I have to, but I don't know where to start and I don't have the funds to buy a new one so bricking it is something I'd like to avoid.
If you need more info, please let me know.
Try custom rom may be is the best solution.
Yep Dr's ROM
Best one
Call recording working 100%
custom rom will trip knox, and samsung pass and others samsung applications will not work.
Thank you all!
Husband looked at the Dr's ROM and did whatever he had to do to get it to work, and I have call recording again
Hi - please go gently with me, first time posting and not very techy at all!
My husband was given a P30 Pro due to doing some work with Huawei, which he passed onto me. I've been using it for 2 years, and noticed the updates weren't happening, and google pay stopped working. Google pay said my phone was rooted or similar, which it isn't (that I know of). It had worked for 6 mths or so.
Called Huawei a few times and got vague answers.
Finally this week someone on Huawei support checked out my serial number and said that as my phone was listed as promotional or demo, it wasn't under warrranty and software updates wouldn;t be pushed to it.
So what do I do now?? I have a phone that is missing important security checks etc but if I root it as the support guy hinted, I guess I would still ahve the issues with google pay and other banking apps?
As I say, do explain this to me as if you're dealing with your nan!
Thanks
So I have a few questions that searching for answers has either been vague or given me old, outdated articles and answers if any at all. Coming here to see if maybe you guys can help bring some clarity.
I still have not received the November security patch. I'm using an Unlocked Pixel 5 with an AT&T sim. This is the first time I have not been able to get an OTA update on my phone when I saw it was released. I was using the 12 beta on my device but my wife hasn't gotten one either.
Pixel tips mentions the enhanced voice typing on my phone but I do not have it available to me. I am on the Gboard beta program and I briefly got it when it was in it's trial rounds and it works great but is no longer available. Is this a 6/6P exclusive?
personally. i would backup everything on the phone(s) you want to save. then do a fully factory wipe and fresh install on the latest image from here https://developers.google.com/android/images#barbet make sure you select the correct model when flashing. the web flashing is extremely easy to use. just make sure you use chrome to do this all in. also make sure you install the usb drivers first before attempting to flash the phone. otherwise it will never see the phone connected to the computer.
one thing i have learned over the years of messing with computers and phones. it sometimes best to start off with a fresh copy of your OS than spending days or weeks trying to troubleshoot the problem only to have it show back up next update.
AT&T maybe controlling the OTA update for security patches. Google has sent out the updates to US vendors. Double check that you have OTA enabled. It maybe found in setting app - System - System update. Unless AT&T moved it somewhere else.
Check in the Settings app: System - Languages & input - On-screen keyboard. Verify that Gboard is listed as the option for Multilingual typing and that Google Voice Typing is set to Automatic. There may also by an item which has Google Voice Type [Legacy] = Automatic. I would not be concerned if does not exist. However if it is there and no equal to Automatic, then investigate further. Finally Voice typing is enable in Gboard by opening Gmail or Messages and select the "..." icon above the keyboard, then Settings - Voice typing - Use voice typing
Your thread subject says you have a Pixel 5 but you are posting in the Pixel 5a forum. Please either confirm that you have a 5a or move the thread to the 5 forums. It's hard to help you if we don't know which you have.
Since it is an Unlocked phone it is getting its OS updates directly from Google, not from AT&T. If you had a locked phone from AT&T you might well not be receiving timely OS updates. That is why one should never buy a phone from a network operator. Can you confirm that you did not buy this phone from AT&T? In this context "Unlocked" means the bootloader is unlocked or at least unlockable, not that the SIM card is unlocked to be able to work on another network.
If you do have an unlockable phone then the best thing to do right now is to backup your data and programs, then download and install the latest factory image. That will get you to a solid foundation for future OTAs. I would stay off the beta track from here forward.
