Hi all, I do not know what to do anymore.
I receive the same texts multitudes of times. I have contacted Motorola, and was instructed to to a factory reset. I did the reset and the problem has not gone away. I am running ICS 4.0.4 and using the stock messaging app. I have informed Motorola that the reset did not work, but am still waiting for a reply (but to be honest, I'm not counting on a solution there).
I received 2 text messages about 28 hours ago, and they are still coming in. Currently those 2 combined have come in 197 times (and going up as I type [it's now 200 times before clicking "submit"]). Another came through today 63 times, and another 48 times. This is driving me mad. I have rebooted the phone, gone in and out of airplane mode. Turned on airplane mode, removed sim, replaced sim, turned off airplane mode. NOTHING!
I'm not sure which way to turn, so that is why I'm here now.
Please can anyway point me the right direction.

it's a problem which is not solved from longggggggg time......even if u RSD the problem would creep up....best solution is to take new sim and use it......this solution was provided in moto official forum...

OK, I placed my SIM in a Galaxy S3, and 2 messages that kept coming through, came through on the S3 with my SIM in it..
Meaning it's a network/SIM problem.
If the above is true, then why would moto bother?
If Moto suggests a new sim, what would that help? It would do the same with the new SIM wouldn't it? So, is the phone screwing the SIM card up? hmmm.. Are you having the issue/did you have the issue?

SIM cards can screw up by themselves, I had had this problem some time ago, not the messages one, but my phone couldn't find networks at all. It was just once, I bought another SIM and nevermore had this problem
moto OTA updates damages sim card i mean it does something which messes up sim's functionality....like there is a flag which sends confirmation on recieval of message to server so it is assumed that msg is delivered ...but in our cases that flag is not set meaning server thinks that message is not delivered and hence keeps on sending.....so taking new sim will restore that and hence the problem is gone....SO NEXT TIME ON OTA REMOVE SIM AND UPDATE.....
Hello,
I got an LG G3 from Verizon back in October and need help resolving some issues I've come across.
ISSUE 1:
When using google maps, it sometimes has trouble locating my position. A couple times it thought I was halfway across the world, in another country!? I've turned the GPS signal on and off multiple times but it didn't resolve the problem
ISSUE 2:
Related to the first issue, the built-in navigation doesn't work at all. My phone just says searching for GPS signal. Once in a while, it will find my location and when I think it's finally working, it fails to update my location/give directions while i'm driving. I've actually pulled over on the highway a few times to try and fix it without any luck. I'd cancel the navigation, reopen the maps app and try to find my position. The maps app would eventually update and show me positioned on some side road way off the highway. I rely on my phones GPS/Navigation a lot and haven't had one successful attempt using it. I need this fixed asap.
ISSUE 3:
My phone looses its data connection quite frequently. The internet will completely stop working even though my phone shows I have multiple 3G/4G bars. It's very annoying, especially when trying to listen to pandora while i'm driving. Pandora cuts out and stutters frequently.
I have no idea if anyone else has had these problems or if my phones defective? The reason I got a new phone was because the data connection on my Droid DNA suddenly stopped working and the phone overheated. Other than that I never had any problems with gps/navigation on my DNA.
The strange part is the DNA suddenly started loosing it's data connection and the LG G3 has been doing the same thing since day 1. I was given a new sim card when I got the G3 so I know it's not a related sim card issue. Could there be an issue with my actual Verizon account? Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated. I'm hesitant to go to Verizon because their notorious for factory resetting phones when troubleshooting problems.
I'm having the same issue with GPS navigation and is driving me nuts

I thought I was the only one. I scoured the internet looking for a solution but couldn't find one. Over the wknd I went to Verizon because I couldn't take it anymore. The first employee I talked to told me that my brand new phone was defective and that they would have to mail me a refurb one. Luckily, for me, I wasn't an account manager so the guy couldn't initiate the process of sending me another phone so I left. The next day I set myself up as an account manager and went back to Verizon. This time I spoke with a different employee who, within 2 seconds, told me my new sim card was bad. I didn't believe him. I thought it couldn't be that simple of a fix. It took about 20mins for my phone to fully recognize the new sim card but it did solve all my problems. My battery life has also improved too because my phones not constantly search for signal.
have the same gps issue
I have the same gps issue, tried to compare it with another phone with "gps test" application and lg g3 was the worst between iphone 5s, lg g2 pro, and samsung galaxy grand. Does anyone know whether it was hardware or software issue ?
A new sim card solved my issue. GPS worked flawlessly afterwards.
Same issue I had with the LG G2. The GPS on that device was horrible and it looks as if the G3 suffers from the same short coming. And from everything that I learned from the Verizon G2, it was hardware and not software related. I haven't opened this phone up yet but I know with the G2, it had something to do with the gold pins not making a good connection to the back plate pins.
I just downgraded my Verizon LG G3 down to 10b from 12 and rooted it, did supersu and flashed TWRP and all is fine there. I then checked off Survival mode in supersu as well. When I went to my update section in settings I got the message that my phone is not yet registered. Now I did read those other threads that explain that when using a flash tool you need to pull out the Sim card, which I didn't do nor did any one of the guides that showed me what to do say anything about that step. So is the fix going to Verizon and buying another Sim card and then inserting it and doing a factory reset? Will I lose root if I do this? Is that basically what I do? Turn the power off, remove the old Sim replace it with the new one turn the phone back on go to settings and do a factory reset? Will the Sim activate that way or do I need to let Verizon themselves do this for me? How does the new Sim get reactivated for my account?
EDIT
And now I am noticing I am getting downgraded to 1X instead of 4G about a half hour after I reboot, happens every time. I assume that is due to the Sim card issue as well
EDIT #2 Damn now I notice my IMEI number is 0000 0000 0000 0000
Damn I guess I am screwed, thought I would have some answers by now lol. I regret rooting the phone....
Has this not happened to anyone else? Losing the IMEI number but the phone still works? The only major issue I seem to have is I can't use OTA to get back to build 12 because I get that message saying the phone is not registered yet and also about 20 minutes after starting the phone I all of a sudden lose 4G and it goes to 1X. I reboot it goes back to 4G and 20 minutes later back to 1X. I am hoping the not registered yet message is due to maybe a screwed up sim card and hopefully the 4G issue as well. If anyone has any ideas at all please reply. Also will reflashing the phone rebuild that efs partition that stores the IMEI number? As I am under the impression that totally reflashing back to stock rebuilds all the phones partitions.
HERE IS ANOTHER CLUE
When I go into settings in 1X mode, if I turn airplane mode on and then off again a few seconds later I go back into 4G mode for a short while then it goes back to 1X. I am really hoping my sim card is to blame for this issue as I will get a new one today to test it out.
Do some research and look at the G2 method to restore IMEI. Use the hints of how to downgrade version by tot method in connecting G3. It can be done. Try to stay off of Verizon in mean time.

Check this thread for your IMEI issue...it may work for you too: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-t3033445/post58915450?nocache=1#post58915450
Good luck
Thanks a lot for the help guys. I was at work all day so I didn't see that 2nd link or I would have tried it before I did what I actually did. I went to the local Verizon store and told the salesman that in trying to get my phone to be able to use a PS3 controller (which is the truth) me and my buddy downloaded software onto the phone to alter it so it would allow for the controller to work with the phone so I could play games with it. Again all true I just left out the name of the software and I handed the guy the phone after telling him how my Sim card seems to be whacked out and my IMEI is gone. He changed out the Sim card and that did indeed fix the phone not registered issue and also the 4G problem was gone too. I was going to leave well enough alone when he said while your phone will work fine it is showing up as an unsupported device on my computer, it is still within the 14 day exchange period do you want me to swap it out with a new phone? I said that we altered the phone, wouldn't I have to pay for a new phone as that voids my warranty no? He said well I see you are eligible for a discount and since you bought this LG G3 near Valentines day I can offer you a free LG G Tab 8.3 tablet, I will knock off the 10 dollars payment per month from another phone that you are owed a discount on and basically all you have to pay for is the 40 dollar activation fee and sign a 2 year contract for the 10 bucks a month that you really won't be paying since I am knocking it off of another phone for you. Do that and I will just wipe this phone again as it works fine and we can easily fix it and I can just set you up here with a replacement and you will be good to go. I couldn't believe it lol. So I walked out of there with a new LG G3 plus a free (not really free since it is 10 bucks a month but he took 10 bucks off of a different phone which would not have happened if I didn't go there today) LG G-tab tablet AND I TOLD THE TRUTH!!!! It probably doesn't hurt that I now have 8 devices attached to my account and send somewhere around 360-400 dollars a month to them lol.
Glad it worked out for you! Yep, I'm sure it doesn't hurt that you're a non-benefiting "shareholder".
I have the VK810.4G (Verizon LG G Pad 8.3) too.
Posting in General to get more exposure. <Mod Edit Questions Belong in Q&A> This is driving me nuts, i rely on email, coming from push blackberry email this is not desirable at all.
If I'm actively using the phone the notifications come through fine, if i leave the phone on my wireless charger (PMA) i do not get any notifications after it has been sitting on the charger for about 20mins or longer.
I'm also not the only one with this problem, all the obvious settings are set correctly. I contacted Samsung and they created a ticket but no clue when if ever this will be resolved.
Are you seeing this behavior when your phone is connected in WiFi or mobile network?

Good question, this occurs only when on mobile network. When it is on wifi it works fine. I have tried different version of the Gmail client and they behave the same. I suspect the problem is only on the S6 models b/c other mfg and older phones with the latest version of lollipop behave ok. I have spent a week testing different scenarios and trying different clients.
Also worth noting SMS and phone calls work fine. It is just email notifications.
I had notifications problem (exactly what you described) when I was connected in WiFi using a router with IPV6 enabled. However I have never had problems when I was connected to the mobile network.

I too had the no-notifications-on-wifi issue and, like Ronis, solved it by turning off all IPv6 connections on my wireless router. It may be worth a shot to go to Settings --> Mobile networks --> Access Point Names --> click the gear next to your currently selected APN --> scroll down to APN protocol: does it say IPv4 or IPv6? If it's IPv6 either use another APN with IPv4 or manually add an IPv4 APN for your carrier (google can help you find this).
The issue myself and many others have is not related to wifi. I think i mentioned in the post you had it was a config setting b/c with wifi on everything works fine.
The issue occurs when it is being wireless charged, when it is not being charged the notifications work.... This is critical b/c most people may not have this problem b/c they don't leave their phone on wireless chargers to notice.
Do me a favor and do this test, charge your phone, and leave it untouched for 20 mins. If you have a wireless charger that is best b/c that is what I'm seeing. During that time make sure you get no TXT or phone calls and only your mobile data is on. Send yourself an email and see if your gmail client notifies you. I'll be willing to bet you won't get the notification like us until you wake your phone up than all the email notifications start coming in. Again this is email notifications, txt, phone calls works.
Cheers
Update to those following this.
I factory reset the phone after i used odin to flash factory rom. Installed latest ATT update. Setup google account and again put the phone on wireless charger, after 10 mins of no activity send myself emails from different accounts from the PC and No emails notifications at all with just Mobile Network only turned on. I'm going to repeat these tests with a wired charger now to see if it is repeatable.
This is quite a headache, with phone off charger it works fine. I'm sure if more people did this test they would see same problem.
I have confirmed even with wired charger, email notifications do not work either. .....
If there are others who can also test this i would appreciate it. I have contacted samsung and they created a ticket but no way to know when if it will be resolved.
Test condition:
1. Charge phone, wired or wireless, only turn on Mobile network, no wifi!!!
2. Leave the phone untouched and idle for 10+ mins
3. during this time no txt or phone calls otherwise it will reset the sleep flag
4. after 10+ mins of no activity send yourself emails from a desktop or another phone. You should in theory get notifications but I'm willing to be you will not.
Thanks
Many more threads like this, guys please contact ATT if you that is your carrier, I have already contacted ATT and Samsung. This is a bug and it appears to be affecting a small number of phones from a batch they have distributed. I'm on my second s6, new from Costco and it is doing the same thing.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/343ma2/push_notifications_only_being_received_on_wifi/
Update: I returned the phone and ended up paying an additional $60 to get the Gold model from BestBuy which had it in stock. I talked to the reps there and quite a few people have returned the Edge models for various problems including this notification issue on the White and Black models. The two i returned back to Costco were both black. The Gold model they just received and have had 0 returns but it has only been a week and there was only two left. I'll test tonight and report the findings. The Samsung rep also told me there has been very little returns of the non Edge model, most if not all the returns have been on the edge models according to him.
I also had a customer tell me on his edge (black 32gig att) his exchange emails would get deleted automatically and after 3 phone swaps he went with the note and has been happy since.
Samsung needs to spend a little more time to work out the bugs b/c this is a great phone with the exception of these software issues b/c most are software related.
Update2: The first gold model i got did not take OTA not matter how many times i tried, factory reset, cache, etc. The home button also was slightly recessed in more on one side than the other. This to me spells quality control issues at least with the home button and this is the first have seen on the s6 edge but the previous phones were all black. So I went to a different best buy and got another gold edge and this one the home button looked right and it took the OTA on the first try like the previous black phones. I'm leaning on not only software issues with the edge but potential quality control issues with the hardware as well.
To the issue at hand with audible Email notifications, the first one did not work like the previous edge phones. So I'm going to be testing this new second gold s6 edge now. I'm not too optimistic at this point. I have a phone call schedule with the ATT ICU team tomorrow or the following day, would be interesting to see what the engineers have to say after testing this specific scenario.
keeping this alive b/c att is looking at these, here is more on reddit
http://www.reddit.com/r/GalaxyS6/comments/35y7bg/notification_delay_anyone_else_have_this_problem/
Samsung has admit this is a problem and they are looking into it. At this point I have done everything i can with the carrier and samsung. UCT will notify me when there is a patch released and ill post it as soon as i hear anything.
Suffering from the same problem. Wife has 64 GB White S6 -- no issue on hers. My 64 GB Black started suppressing notifications about 24 hours after I got it. Tried a wipe / reinstall OS at the AT&T Device Service Center yesterday. That fixed it for another 24 hours, but it just started happening again today. Android 5.0.2.
It only happens when the screen is off. Happens on wifi and LTE.
I have a replacement coming from AT&T, but I'm worried it will have the issue as well.
Xperia users on 5.0.2 have been seeing similar problems. talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Xperia-Z3-Compact/Notifications-not-Working-When-Phone-in-Sleep-Mode/td-p/879641
That leads me to believe this is an OS bug.
Contact ATT customer service and ask to speak to Urgent care Team. Also contact Samsung. the only way it will get fixed is if more people contact them so they build more cases and get a resolution out quickly. Otherwise it will take longer to resolve sadly. I went through 7 phones before I got one that somewhat worked. Will never be as good as blackberry push email but its better than not receiving the audible notifications at all.
Do you have a ticket number I can reference at either AT&T or Samsung?
And, yes, I have several wireless chargers that I leave the phone on -- even while in the car.
ATT urgent care team doesn't give any ticket numbers unfortunately, but here are the samsung tickets. However i would urge you to contact the carrier first b/c they have a direct line of communication with Samsung as opposed to their tech support number which will send the info to the engineers and developers.
I had more tickets but I can only find these for now. When i find the rest I will post them. Also I went to best buy and the samsung reps took the IMEI number and also reported the issue with my tickets so I have approached this as many ways as possible.
Ticket number: 1116476568 & 2135852781
You can contact Samsung voice support team through 1-888-987-HELP(4357) Mon - Fri : 7am - 2am (CST) Sat - Sun : 9am - 10pm (CST)
Hope this helps. Let me know what happens.
I"ve been having the same issues...I think it started after the last android update...I have the blue edge...other factor is that i have to use a micro cell tower
That is very odd, normally if you have this problem it is out the box, but it would not surprise me if the update breaks it. Again i would suggest you contact Samsung and let them know as well as your carrier.
I waited on contacting AT&T or Samsung, since I had a replacement on the way and wanted to test it.
Out of the box -- apps installed and no issues.
18 hours later, still working fine.
2 hours after that, the phone did an "AT&T system update".
Shortly after that, I felt the feeling of dread come over, as I thought it odd I hadn't received any notifications for a while. Fingerprint unlock, swipe up, and the notifications come rolling in all at once.
I'll call AT&T and Samsung tomorrow.
How is it that more people aren't noticing this? It has to be a very widespread bug!
Hey guys!
As the titles says, I updated my G5 H831 (Canada, Fido) yesterday and the wifi stopped working. The slider is greyed out and will not turn on. When I tap the slider to enable wifi it slides over, but after exiting the settings app and reopening, it reverts to the greyed out off position. I've already tried and factory reset, battery pulls etc. Does anyone have any info on this or have had similar experiences?
Have you tried turning it on with O.K Google? If its set up try saying: "O.k Google, turn on Wifi" ?
I've tried turning it on in settings, notification menu and with "Okay, Google" to no avail. I'm hoping this will be fixed in the next update if it isn't a hardware issue.
I have had that kind of issue last year with my previous phone.
Have you restored your data with titanium backup?
Edit : your model can't be root so I think you didn't restore...

Sounds silly to wait for an update for a pretty necessary feature on a smartphone (unless you're lucky and have unlimited data?). Just replace the device under warranty- LG warranty lasts for 1 year. It definitely sounds like some sort of defect. Have you tried factory resetting? Always factory reset if you find an unexpected problem, or at the very least, the system cache partition.
Not sure what build your variant updated to, but I'm at the May 12A update on Verizon with no such issues

I tried a full factory reset (wipe all partitions). My phone is the Canadian Fido vatiant (unlocked,) and I have unlimited data with WIND here. Not sure how to go about getting a replacement device through warranty as Fido considers getting a phone unlocked voiding their warranty.

Didn't know you unlocked it. If it came unlocked, though, LG would be the ones to warranty it. Idk what Fido is, but it's an LG issue.
Fido is just a carrier here in Canada. How do I go about getting the LG factory warranty?
Update:
So I tried turning WiFi on again out of habit. Lo and behold it turned on! Not entirely sure what caused it to stop working (or start working again, for that matter) but it's working now. I'd still like to figure out why it quit but I'm not too sure how to go about doing that.
I see its working for you again, but just in case you run into issues in the future, Fido should be able to direct you to the LG Warranty process for you. I've had a few warranty issues in the past 5+ years with my Verizon carrier and I just call them and they set up shipment for me .
Anytime I've done it, they overnight me a refurbished phone, but idk if that's a Verizon thing.. they definitely send it to LG for warranty, but idk if most people have to wait for repairs and my carrier is just cool and will give you the refurbished one.

What solved this for me was removing the sim card and turning on the phone without it. As soon as there was no sim card in the phone the MAC address returned to normal and wifi worked again. I put the sim card back in and it continued to work perfectly.

I tried what you said and it didnt work for me. This never happen till i updated my rs988 recently.
I too have the same problem on my LGG5. I tried everything to get the WiFi button to work. I took it into Rogers and they sent it to get repaired and when I got it back it worked for 10mins. It went back to being grayed out as soon as I started to reinstall my stuff on the phone. So they sent it to get repaired again. I think that since I've been without a proper phone now for 1 month that if I get it back and it doesn't work that I will have to try and get LG to replace it. After all the phone is only 3 months old. Has anyone else managed to get them to replace the phone without difficulty?
