[Q] SMS says sending, fails - actually sends 100s of texts - G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Recently bought a brand new out of a sealed box LG G3 from Germany, but am using an Italian SIM. Been having real texting issues and quite often people call me but it hardly ever gets through (but unsure as to whether that's signal or my phone). Anyway, texting issue is definitely my phone's issue, as it will say that it is sending a text for ages and then say failed (and maybe after an extended period of time actually say sent) but in the meantime it's sending friends of mine hundreds of texts. I thought this might be an issue with the stock app, so I installed Textra yesterday, which I thought might solve it, but apparently not - as I've just had friends of mine complain!
Phone is not rooted. Any ideas for how to solve?

Are you using google hangouts?

No. I was using the normal SMS messaging app, but after discovering I had this problem I installed Textra, which seems to have rave reviews (from LG G3 users too), and used that instead. I could try using Google hangouts but I would be surprised if it made any difference if the problem was the same in both apps. I was wondering whether it could be some kind of configuration issue (given that it's intended for the German market and I'm using an Italian SIM card)...

Was asking because I'm having the same problem with hangouts when the sms are long and it looks like many people are facing the issue

And no one has found a solution?

I've been looking for days and haven't found any so far apart from using an alternative sms app but I'd like to stick to hangouts

All I can say is that with my own phone, alternative SMS apps don't work any better. I'm thinking that if I get time tomorrow I might have to root my phone and install a new ROM to see if that helps...

Network.
Yep, definitely a network issue. My Galaxy S5 and 4 both did that on EE. After hours of phone calls I switched to Three UK

Group Messaging lag

Anyone else here tried group messaging in the stock messaging yet? I had a group messaging session with two other people and it cause the phone to slow down alot, almost the same type of slowdown you get when you install a bunch of apps on the background. Evey time I open the messaging app, send or receive a message the phone says converting to MMS...which seems irritating because obviously it's MMS for group messaging because I set it as so in the settings.
This has been my only negative experience with this phone.

You may want to give your model and carrier. I have the international model that does not have that option (to receive at least).

H810 here, I've noticed the stutter even without group messaging. I had 3-4 independent SMS's going, and the lag switching around was noticeable.
LG UX needs to be ironed out. :cyclops:

Yup. Sad about that coming from an at&t G3 so I had to use Textra for it. Which is fine because I feel it's faster than stock.

I may try another app if it irritates me enough, but I dont group text enough.

Problem with Zenfone 2

The Zenfone 2 is a great phone. There is just one big problem: You can only receive sms messages with one of the two sim cards -- this makes it for me all but useless. I have used dual sim card phones for years and of course I could always receive the sms messages from both cards/numbers.
For me i have the vibror bug he work sometimes

You can definitely receive SMS with both SiM cards. You can only receive MMS with SIM Card 1. The default messenger app even indicates which SIM card my message was sent/received on.
Yep, sim2 only has phone and sms capabilities, anything to do with internet doesn't work. If you add an emoji/picture to your txt then it becomes an mms by default so it can't be sent. Remove the emoji/picture and it'll text fine...

ChompSMS Dual Sim Support

I've tried using chompSMS as my alternative texting app. Activated the dual sim support in settings but it does not seem to work. It uses my sim 1 to send texts and not the selected sim in chomp. I have disabled Asus Messaging app using Titanium Backup Pro. Any suggestions how to make it work? Thanks.
Chompsms works fine for me. I havent disabled the stock messaging app but I selected chompsms as default sms app on system settings. I usually long press the send button on chomp whenever I want to send occasionally using the 2nd sim (worked all the time). Havent tried setting the 2nd sim as default as 1st sim is what I frequently use.
On latest stock rom/kernel rooted.
And how did you know if you receive sms on first or second sim?

I couldnt be able to use dual sim messaging in Chomp SMS. Currently I am using GO SMS Pro, which is great I think. You can try it.

All is well. Still not working and tomorrow I'm going on vacation /
Sms is managed by the messenger app, or by Google hangouts. Try deleting data and cache for these apps, and start with messenger to send an sms.
Do not think that messenger is the same as Facebook messenger. It is native to android, but maybe named different in ZenUI.

Check in messages settings the message centre number for your carrier.,had this problem on another device not on zen tho and message centre number was wrong, usually with a recognised device your carrier sends messages to update these settings to configure if i switch sim to a sammy for instance .
In my case, only a factory reset got rid of this problem.

FB messenger says it will run your SMS messaging, maybe you can use that as your SMS client strictly on WiFi?
