It says "Connected" in green text followed by my phone number.

    Activated successfully on Sunday on Verizon with the beta APK method. Got unregistered on Wednesday. Repeating the process worked, but now I'm concerned this will be a frequent thing.

    Activated through install from Google Play store, over mobile data and VPN turned off.

      Mine keeps unregistering every 3 days or so and I have to repeat the process. It seems to me like we need to find a way to manually change the ACS URL. Unfortunately newer Google Messages versions don't seem to have an option to do this in activity launcher. I've been looking for a way to change the ACS URL in debug settings to no avail.

      I wonder if there's a way to permanently assign an ACS URL via something like adb

      Does anyone know if something changed about Graphene around November/December that might impact this?

      I've done all the troubleshooting including a factory reset and a new SIM card. I get RCS within moments with this SIM on another stock OS phone.

        *I've also tried turning on auto verification of phone numbers within my Google account. That's something that helped earlier in the year to get RCS.

        This time around the status of auto verification doesn't change from "pending". Makes me think Google isn't seeing something it wants to see in order to do it's verification.

            If you are using a DNS service like NextDNS or ControlD, try adding your RCS ACS URL to the whitelist to ensure that it isn't being blocked.

              Is that with the older apk?

              I may go that route, but it'd be nice to get this sorted out with the current version. It's not my preference to run old software if I can help it.

                  It worked 👍.Just installed the version of Messages you sent. I don't think I accomplished anything with Activity Launcher so it didn't play any role. The version of Messages you sent did it all.

                    Unregistered again after 3 days, so that's at least consistent.
