SMS Not Sending/Receiving

[meskin84]

I have been using my G4 for about a month, and coming from a 2013 Moto X, I have really been enjoying it. I have the same issues some other have been experiencing, which is fine, I expect things to be less than perfect on mobile devices.

I have a new problem though, one which no one has touched on and its really starting to upset me.

So, here is the issue. Three times in the past week, my phone has decided to just stop sending or receiving texts. It just clocks over and over and over and eventually says, "Message Not Sent" try again. During this period of time, I am also not able to receive any texts. I tried rebooting the device, toggling airplane mode, and even using different messenger apps. Nothing. Another annoying thing about this is that the battery starts draining rapidly. I can only assume this is happening because there is some function that is searching for the SMS to work and getting nowhere.

Today it happened again, and eventually drained my entire battery and when I replaced my battery with my spare, like magic everything was back to normal.

My question is, has anyone heard of this, or have any possible solutions. I think when it happens again I will execute a battery pull and see if that makes a difference.

I have a G3, and except for the battery drain, I've experienced what you are experiencing. A number of co-workers with the G3 all have texting issues, be it receiving, sending, group texts and MMS. I love the G3 but this will be my last LG phone because of this issue.

We have tried everything from FDR, New sim, new texting app, etc. and nothing has helped any of us.

Thanks for the reply. This is really discouraging. My brother has this phone and so far hasn't had this issue. I am not sure what is going on, but if it happens again, I will try pulling the battery and rebooting, and if that doesn't solve the problem, I will try a hard reset. Hopefully one of those things will fix the issue.

Not to discourage you, but resetting and pulling battery hasn't helped any of us. I'm just gonna live with it because I have less than year left in my contract but if I were you I'd try and swap the phone out as it's brand new.

I have a G2 on Sprint. Every once in a while I'll notice that my texts are not sending (a couple times a month?).

I've found that somehow it is not making a connection to the network, so all I do is dial a phone number, wait until the call starts and then hangup (I call my conference dial in number so not hanging up on anyone). Then my texts go right through.

Not sure if it's the same thing at all, but might be worth a shot.

I just got the LG G4 in Canada through Telus, am having the same issue with texts suddenly not going through... but for some reason that suggestion works- make an outgoing phone call and suddenly everything is back to normal...weird, but at least that's a manageable solution, thanx!
