RCS in Google Messages bug fix - Nokia 8 Guides, News, & Discussion

Since Google announced the availability of RCS Messaging in Google Messages in France, I tried to activate the feature. Until today, no luck.
I updated the app to the last version and I tried to enable RCS in Settings of the Messages App. But the app kept telling me that it still trying to configurate the connection.
But I tried something. I uninstalled Google Messages (Uninstalled the updates since the app can't be uninstalled completly on my Nokia 8), cleared all the app data and reinstalled it. When I opened the app, it asked me to activate chat functionality. I clicked Yes and Hurray ! It worked ! In the settings, it says that I'm connected.
That's how I got it to work.
I hope it helps others
Bye

[Q] Hangouts sends texts twice

I've found a few threads to this problem but since they're a little older and no solution was found yet I thought I'd give it another shot.
My phone is a XT1032, retail bought in Germany. Kitkat 4.4.4, no root and just a few apps from the Playstore, nothing special at all.
It seems that ever since I switched from the built-in Motorola (?) Messaging app to Google Hangouts my texts get sent twice, meaning a few people complain about getting them twice even though Hangouts shows just a single message. My settings are changed to use Hangouts as my default messaging app, and I'm using Hangouts (as Messaging before) with read receipts turned on.
To get on to this weird behaviour I changed my default app back to Messaging plus uninstalled all Hangouts updates. And now it works fine.
I'd rather use Hangouts, though. Any suggestions?
I hope this'll be fixed in Lollipop...
Nope it's a long problem... try deleting Google framework cache
Thanks for your response. I tried it out, but it didn't work. I keep using Messaging for now and set my hopes in Lollipop.

Internet connection problem with some apps

Hi, Forum,
Huawei y625 u51, android 442 here. Rooted.
When I connect to the internet, all user apps besides chrome and play store arent able to connect. After reinstall of the app, however, all works fine. Anyway, I have to reinstall skype, viber and some other important networking apps every morning after I wake up. This is too irritating. It all has begun after I deactivated some google apps. I have later activated them, but no effect - still need to reinstall the netapps.
Any cure?
Greetings.

watch no longer will send sms using 'ok google'

My watch suddenly stopped being able to send an SMS using 'ok google', 'send a text to <contact name>' . it now tells me "Something went wrong. That's not available on this device". I have un-installed 'google' and reinstalled it on my watch. I have factory reset the watch, and installed a new messenger app on my phone/watch (google message) etc. Nothing is working unfortunately. Unsure what else to do.
Any ideas?
I have the same problem! Happened since friday, before it always worked fine. Also other messages like whatsapp same problem...i guess it has something to do with an update of play services or google assistant....
Replying fortunately still works. But initiating new messages not...

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Exactly same. I also went over all of the security settings etc for each app on wear and phone. I use my watch a lot to initiate sms conversations so hopefully this will be fixed soon.
I have an older model of the Huawei Smartwatch and just recently I'm experiencing the same thing-- however my husband's newer version (but not Smartwatch 2) can still send text messages and make voice calls. I'm hoping this Google update has not my Smartwatch obsolete.
Same issue, but with phone not watch (SOLUTION)
I had this same exact problem... started about a week ago. I finally sat down the other morning and spent a few hours trying ever solution I could find until BOOM... I found the issue, the "Google Web and App Activity" was turned off!! I hadn't been in my Google Account setting for years, so my guess is that this was a recent Privacy Policy update rolled out by Google recently. Anyway, here are my notes on how to turn it back on for yourself (provided you have permissions to manage your own Google account):
Go into Google Home App
Hamburger Menu
Settings
Google Assistant Settings
Prompted about "Web and App Activity" settings that needed to be turned on, I had never turned them off, but they were off, I had previously logged into Google Admin for the account and turned it "on for everyone" earlier, so maybe do this first.
Then was prompted with a "I'm In" pop-up. I clicked on that button I was taken to the standard Google Account Setting Page.
I exited and tried "ok google" again, it worked
the google app updated on my watch today and now the issue seems to have been resolved.

Gmail Doesn't show notifications (doesn't auto sync) even with Sync turned on

As title says , Gmail doesn't send any notifications when i receive Emails unless i open the app and manually refresh , which causes may issues as it's Business Mail
i tried many solutions (Dose thing using ADB , Turning all notificaions settings on , Clearing Data , Factory reset phone , Deleted Gmail using ADB and reinstalled it again via Play store) but none worked , the Gmail app isn't there in Battery optimization settings and not in auto launch settings in Color Os 12.1 (idk why , guess it's considered as system app)
Please if anyone got any idea about how to solve this issue , if i couldn't solve it then i will have to sell the Phone and i don't want to do so cuz i really like it ..
This was happening to me too, when it did I figured a workaround: go google play > Gmail, click uninstall and it will uninstall to original version of gmail comes with the patch. Now disable auto update for Gmail. clear data and cache. It works properly as long as you don't let it update again. I used it like that for a year. It just annoys you to click ignore every time you update other apps from store.
side-note: Later when I completely wiped my phone, it got working properly with the updated versions again. I think an old update brakes it while applying.

Question SMS Autofill Broken

I have a 256Gb S22 Ultra Exynos running Android 13, S908BXXU2BVJA - latest October 2022 update.
I recently tried my sons iphone and he had sms autofill working nicely so I thought lets have a go on my phone.
I cannot remember the last time that SMS Autofill was working on my phone.
I will go through the settings I have:
Settings/General management
/Passwords and autofill
Autofill service - Dashlane
/Dashlane
Autofill - ON
Keyboard Autofill - ON
Settings/Google/Auto-fill
/Auto-Fill with Google
Use Auto-Fill with Google ON
/SMS Verification Codes
Autofill Service ON
Default Browser ON
Every time I install a system update, I always clear cache in recovery mode
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Google Play Services
I have cleared data for Google Play Services
I have disabled and then re-enabled 'SMS' permissions in Google Play services, with a restart to see if that would help.
All to no avail.
I hate having to reset Google Play Services because it means that my Galaxy Watch 4 needs to be reset for it to be resynced back to the phone.
I have tried using Samsung Messages, Samsung Keyboard and Samsung Internet as a combination just in case it only works on Samsung apps, but the SMS autofill doesn't work.
I prefer using Google Messages, Gboard and Google Chrome because I like the way it's all set up also to see if the google sms autofill services only work on their apps, but the SMS autofill doesn't work.
I have uninstalled Dashlane (it's a password manager) to see if that was interfering, but uninstalling it, and restarting it (just in case) still the SMS autofill doesn't work.
Is anyone able to shed some light on this? What am I doing wrong?
Is it something I have to live with?
I have not seen any threads on here that have a fix that I have not tried, yes I have searched, but I wonder if there is someone on here who may have had this issue and fixed it.
