[Q] ATT lg g2 NOT SENDING TEXTS - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Can anyone help? Its just a weird effect it sometimes sends SMS with no issue. Other times it fails and fails and fails. I've even tried on multiple g2's an this isn't the only one with the problem.
I'm on cm11 with the kk baseband. But it doesn't matter what ROM. Its like a universal effect.
I also use a microcell at home and still have the issue.
Also, sometimes I try to call out, and it says "mobile network not available" but I have full bars. ??? Helpppp

[HELP] Problems Receiving Text Messages on T-mobile's $30 Prepaid Service

Well as the title says, I've been having issues receiving texts messages on the $30 prepaid plan.
What happens:
-I will randomly not receive a text message, or I will receive it days later(if I turn my phone on after being off all night), or I will receive a message that is one half the current message and one half an old message from days/weeks ago(the are intertwined).
-It happens complete sporadically, no rhyme or reason. It happens at my apartment, while I'm sitting at work, or at the gym. At my lowest signal level I will have 2 bar remaining of "3g" but it's usually around 3 (I'm in Pittsburgh).
What I've tried so far to fix it:
-I had T-mobile swap out for a new sim card.
-I've contacted T-mobile customer service twice. They've "refreshed" my connection to their network, reset my sim, played with my account, etc.
-I'm using Chomp SMS as my messaging app. The issues also occurred when using the stock messaging app.
-I've cleared the cache for both apps.
What I haven't tried and what you may need to know:
-I haven't played with the APN settings all. As far as I know all of those settings are set straight from/by T-mobile.
-I'm not rooted
-I've had this problem intermittently since buying the nexus4 from google in Nov.
-My original nexus 4(which I RMA'ed) also had the problem- looking back I just thought it was the other persons phone. Which makes me believe it's on T-mobiles end, or at least a tweak in an APN setting?
-Zero issues with call clarity, data speeds. All have been perfectly fine.
-It doesn't seem to matter which carrier the person who is sending me the message is on.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or has anyone else experienced similar issues? I'd like to hope that there's a simple fix that doesn't require me changing to ST and using AT&T but I guess if I have to... I have too. I'm at a complete loss as to what else I could try in order to fix this.
All help, tips, suggestions are welcome. Thank guys!

I have had this issue on and off with SMS messages and "Waiting Voice Mail" messages over the years (mostly on pre-smartphones and G1). All you can really do is reboot the phone often (at least once a day). I think it's related to messages sent while your phone has no service, but not 100% sure.
For 3 yrs with a half dozen smartphones I had texting issues with tmo and now on straight talk tmo it is the same thing.
It hasn't been as bad as you seem to have it but there do sometimes seem to be heavy delays.

[Q] No service, out of coverage, radio issue.

I'm in Estonia. Phone is N4 16GB stock 4.2.2, no mods/no root.
Have an issue with gsm radio.
When phone is active, then i have signal, I am able to call out and receive calls, BTW, calls don't drop. When left untouched for approx 10minutes it is cut from carrier. It does show the coverage bars, but when called in, then states as out of coverage. When trying to place call it hangs in dialing display. When trying to end the stuck call, it hangs on ending call display. Have tried different SIMs from different carriers, the problem remains. Only cure so far is to reboot, then i get next 10 minutes of service. Have restored to factory settings couple of times, tried without applying Google account. No luck. F***!
What to do? Has anyone faced similar issue?
Rolled baseband M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.48 back to M9615A-CEFWMAZM-2.0.1700.27, got longer usage time, radio still freezes
I get weird data loss too with 48, never calls though. I too prefer 27 as a result and that just works for me.
With 27 however your autofocus wont work anymore (camera) but since I don't use it that much guess that's not a biggie (touch to focus still works however).

D802 - 'Emergency Calls Only'/No Service.

Very, very odd problem here. At first I just assumed it was my phone had lost network for a bit, but no.
I've factory reset and reinstalled my ROM, but nothing. My status bar shows full bars (sometimes drops a few, like any phone), but I only have emergency calls available, and the "No service" notification, permanently. I have no idea what's happened or why it's doing it, but I'm sort of out of things to try, so any suggestions would be great?
One odd thing to mention is that I was able to use mobile internet perfectly find this morning, still displaying emergency calls only and No service. I cant hold calls or send/receive text. So, yeah. Anyone able to help? I've had a quick search of the forum but found nothing too similar to what I have, even a recent thread seems similar but not quite the same.
Same here
I have the same issue today.
No more service, for no good reason. I recently upgraded from CM11 snapshot to CM11 nightlies, but all the sudden this morning with no recent upgrade, I get no cell service whatsoever. I've cleared cache, cleared dalvik, cleared/reset data, tried new&old CM roms. Nothing gets it back, it's still "emergency only calls".
Did you find a solution to your issue?

Similar Problem
I have an lg vs980 and I was using it with H2O wireless and later I changed to Simple Mobile. I'm living in Puerto Rico. The phone was working all right and, suddenly, one day it was always displaying 'emergency calls only'.
I did factory reset, then I reflashed stock lollipop and it was like nothing happened, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Then I found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2394689 and applied the patch but didn't seem to resolve the problem.
As a last resort I tried flashing cm 12.1 and before first boot applied the patch from the cited thread but no result, keeps displaying 'emergency calls only'.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem?

Message fails

Hi I'm getting message failed on a regular basis,I sometimes get the message to go through but on other occasions it fails anybody else get this problem?I'm using mi 9t global stable thanks...
I have noticed the same issue today, messages were failing, had to restart the phone that fixed it temporarily I guess.
PS: I am on latest Global version (10.3.11)
I still get it after reboot but I noticed the 0 was missing from the start of the phone number so I manually typed the number and now it seems to be working....it's strange because the number is full in the contact details and I can phone straight from contacts but not text as it just fails with certain contacts ...
Same issue, I fixed it when I put another SIM card from different company but I cannot activate it with my primary SIM
This issue is getting worst, upon sending a text to someone I receive failure message after a while but regardless of failure, receipient receives multiple duplicate texts.
This needs to be fixed have also tried google messaging app and issue seems to be the same.
If someone come across a fix then please do share here. This is annoying as whenever i send out a text to someone they receive it a million times at least
I might of fixed the issue,in the contacts number at the top Of the message screen the 0 is missing so if I send a text it fails but if I go to contacts directly and send a text it adds the 0 and message goes through....
Seems like i have found the issue, its related to the network. Whenever i select 4G/ LTE as preferred network, i face the above described issue. SMS gets stuck at "Sending" and eventually fails resulting in multiple texts towards the receiving party. However, when i change the network to 3G or 2G, everything seems to work normally.
Not sure what to do in this case. Looking forward to suggestions.
I have exact same issue Got no idea how to fix.
