[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.

For additional discussion, see this Reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/tmobile/comments/uves36/any_lg_users_wake_up_to_a_broken_phone_today_lg/. One of the respondents mentioned a T-Mobile tweet saying LG is working on a fix and hope that it'll be ready by tonight.

What's odd about that is my phone hasn't gotten LG updates since August 2019. From a security pov, It's a little scary to be on such an out of date OS. I use Malwarebytes & T-Mobile's security app.

Another update. Called tmobile on a different phone. Their recording said there's an issue in my sector and they're working on it (every non lg phone here works fine) and that there's a 30 minute wait for tech support.

Nope. But that is a Blackview phone.

Hmm I thought it be sim related but just can't say for sure but it's looking more like TMobile related specifically on LG phones

Absolutely. Tmobile sim in Blackview and Samsung are fine. Lg without sim is fine. Combine tmobile sim with lg phone and it all takes a dive.

Can you look at that last apps in play store that got update?

Another thing to try go to settings>find Reset network

A factory reset does not work so don’t bother. It’s basically coming through our TMobile service so nothing we do is going to fix it. Too bad everyone with the issue can’t just cancel TMobile.

This exact sequence worked for me. When I cleared the data and cache in airplane mode and then went off airplane, the popups came back right away.

Just wanted to say, as a Google Fi user--removing the sim stops the issue entirely. This was originally a T-Mobile activated phone for about a year until the switch. It doesn't seem there was any security or app updates pushed in the last 24 hours so my money is on it being an LG issue.

What two apps are you referring to to clear data and cache?

I am a Mint Phone service user with same issue as all these Tmobile users - I have an LGV20 (branded Tmobile) with a Mint SIM card - and I got this same problem 3 or more hours ago - I switched the Mint SIM card into an LGV40 (branded Sprint) phone - so far so good....

I'm on boost mobile with a LG Stylo 6 and have been having this issue all morning, though it seems to have stopped for now in the past few minutes

Try resetting network in settings

I am also on T-Mobile with an LG G7 ThinQ and this started happening early this morning though I woke up at 11. I can make short calls but most windows close on me as well. I hope T-Mobile or LG is getting a fix on this.

Re: I have lg aristo 5 and am getting same issue

My phone was branded TMobile but I was using Mint - are the others who are on non TMobile SIM cards also all on TMobile branded LG phones?

This started at 9am my time.

Try resetting network in settings

Does resetting network settings really solve anything?
