[MEGATHREAD] LG IMS Keeps Stopping (5/2022)

[Skywolve]

So I know there was one post already related to this but no solution in that thread has worked, nor has any solution posted on various websites.

I wish I could just disable LG IMS as the frame work contributes to features of my phone I simply don't use, however I cannot find the place to do so nor the IP type most websites tell me to. Like I said I have a Stylo 4 so that may be the issue.

I also doubt it has to do with any particular app as a factory reset did not fix it.

I am at my wits end so either a detailed guide for disabling it or any other fixes would be greatly appreciated.

You are Not changing the IP ADDRESS, you would be changing the IP VERSION from 6 to 4 , or the reverse. Some phones do not have this capability, but that's not going to fix it anyway. The only thing that has reliably been reported is:
Settings - General - Apps & Notifications - App Info - three dots on top right - Show system. Scroll down to com-lg-ims-provider (whatever) CLEAR DATA then FORCE STOP.
That works, nothing else has been reinforced as working. and SHUT OFF the WiFi until this issues is resolved. It's part of the problem.

I did all of this and shut off wi fi and I still have the pop ups

Shut the WiFi off first. disable WiFi completely.
POWER OFF the phone
Turn it back on
THEN go into settings general apps, etc as noted above.

LG Stylo 6 IMS keep stopping keeps popping up

The message LG IMS keep stopping it keeps popping up how do I get it to stop

What kind of data does it stop or delete? I mean, nothing that we will notice??? Makes me nervous.

LG V30 and V40 on Tmobile, same thing

 

[rpjohn]

Another thing you can try is go to settings>apps>system app>IMS could be 2 or 3 on your device go to each one then storage clear data then force stop each and see if that helps

I am new here. Is that data that would be deleted or stopped anything we will notice? None of our personal data???

How do you disable the Wi-Fi safelyand would that process work on a lgv30 and a LG G5?

No it won't delete any personal information

It didn't stop. One thing I'm noticing is after I clear the data when I navigate away.. Not close the window or anything then go back to the clear data page there is data there already

I'm beginning to think I'm going to have to wait it out. The frequency of how often it pops up changes from time to time and I keep thinking I fixed it but it eventually pops up again. Has anyone who's claimed they fixed it with any of these steps staying fixed?

Thank you. I came close to losing my photos from last issue. Just cautious. I'll try this fix. Thank you for the quick answer!

Your welcome , understand and glad you asked to be certain. Hopefully fixes the issue

 

[wolfgang2112]

It may have been resolved. I may have posted too early saying these steps we're not working. It hasn't popped up since I posted the last post.

I found the answer everyone! Go to the Google Playstore, tap your profile icon in the corner, go to manage apps, go to updates, update all system apps (you dont have to update facebook, twitter, ect.) I did the phone software update to the latest version, updated the Google Play phone service apps, and no more error messages! Hope it helps!

Make sure Wi-Fi is turned on. Then make sure Wi-Fi calling is also turned on with Cellular priority. Then goto apps and then clear data for com.lge.ims.rcsprovider and clear cache for lg ims.

This worked on my LG G5.
After clearing cache and data I turned Wi-Fi calling off (I hardly use this) and no pop up for last 20 minutes.

What is LG IMS???

Is this a real thing or what? Do you need it actually? Is this an invasion of security & privacy like a major HACK or what???

This instruction seems to work so far for my V30 Thin Q. I found this site on a search engine. Was glad I did, thank you to alch3m1stz. Was also very glad it wasn't just me! I suspect TM's support lines are jammed right now.

Speaking of which, has anyone else noticed that ever since the merger with Sprint, it's much more unlikely to get a USA based call center?

This also worked for my v30 with android 8.0, DOES NOT work with my wife's 9.0, just note I had to clear the cache on both apps and then clear the data for com.lge.ims.rcsprovider for it to stay gone.
