Text messages taking FOREVER to send

I've had the LG G3 for almost four months and I've been having so many problems with this phone. I can send texts but it takes at least 30 minutes to send. And this phone is so slow. It constantly freezes on me and I don't have a lot of apps I only go on Facebook and instagram. If anyone has any info on how to fix my texts that would be awesome!

    drewfioswifey,
Oh no, sorry to hear your phone isn't working as it should be! Let's get these messages back in business. Are you using the native messaging application? Does this happen everywhere or just one specific location? What's your zip code?
Please share additional details.

  • Text messages take forever to send!

    Got the phone about four days ago and my text messages are taking hours to send and receive. Phone calls work perfectly fine

        Kjacunski,
    This is very strange behavior for any phone connected to our network, but we'll help get them sending and receiving much quicker! Which make/model phone do you have and what zip code are you in? Also, have you tried turning the phone off for at least 1 minute? Let us know and we'll be happy to continue trouble shooting!

  • I am having multiple problems with my iphone 4s, people can't hear me when I call, text messages don't always send, calls go straight to voice mail. I have all bars, have hard rest 3 times. I have called apple 4 times and gone to a store. No help.

    I have had the 3g, 3gs, 4 and little if any problems. I made a major mistake buying the 4s. What a horrible phone. I must say, apple service is at best, BAD. Here are the basics. I am on the same network, I call the same people, I use the same text messages as I did with the 4. With the 4s, I will call someone and they will not be able to hear me. I have to hang up and recall. Or the phone just does nothing when I press call. Text messages acts like they send but when I go back the have been sent. Sometimes the calls go direct to voice mail.
    Here's what I have done. Reset, did not help. Called apple, advisor said she would call me back in 5 minutes, after waiting for 5 days for the call, I recalled, they walked me through the same things I had already done, then said to take it to a store. So they set up an appointment for the only day I could get to it, 1 1/2 hours away, on my grand son's birthday. That was okay if they fixed it. So they hard reset it, we had to setup 4 email accounts, they would not allow me to restore because they said it was a software problem. So I had to download all the apps, lost a lot of data. No fun. But if it worked! So Monday back at work, guess what, same thing. When home and did another hard reset. Still no lick. Called apple again. They said they would replace my phone, all they needed was to put a hold on a credit card for $899 or drive a 1 1/2 hours to a store.
    So anyone know a good andriod phone.
    PS I got a email asking about the service each time and each time I told them what a horrible phone it was and how bad service was. I have yet to hear back. I guess they do not read them!

    You're not speaking to Apple on in this forum, nor will someone from Apple see this post.   We are just users like you and I.
    Have you tried to restore or reset your phone?
    Or contact your carrier in re: to your sim card

  • Iphone froze in the middle of text message, self rebooted, deleted all of my text messages, and can't send/receive now

    I was replying to a couple of text messages today when the sending animation froze.  My iPhone restarted on its own and when it turned back on my messages application was wiped clean and now I am unalbe to send any message.  When I attempt to compose a message and select a contact, "no name" appears in the TO: field.

    iOS 7.1.2, huh? It MAY be having some trouble with the iOS 8.x devices and latest iCloud features. Although it meets the minimum system requirements, it does not meet the recommended ones - System requirements for iCloud - Apple Support
    You should try Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support - this is generally the first step in troubleshooting, all devices - for all time
    Message Colors
    Blue is iMessage (Apple service)
    Green is SMS (Carrier service)
    What happens when you use your iPad similarly? (what iPad model & iOS version)
    As a last resort*, Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support - *this document tells that all your data will be lost but provides steps to back-up (Before section) then restore your data (Restore section #4)

  • Text messages taking long time to send

    Hi iPhone support community!
    Can someone please share with me.. why my iPhone's messages are suddenly taking a LONNNGGG time to send?  (Like we are talking 20 minutes here?)  I use this feature for work so it's a real pain! Plus it used to say "Read" when other person recieved text message, now it does not. Any insight would be welcome!
    Much thanks,
    Marilyn

    Yea I understand Kit Kat the OS has not been the Tasty treat to many of us cellphone users that the candy is.. and to me as before with problem OS's one's whom are in charge to fix the issue are not doing enough Quickly.. which make using the Device harder each Day..
    Hope soon Days are brighter for our phones.. Apart from that have a Great Weekend   for me I'm ready for some Football

  • Software update September 9, 2014...photos in text messaging take forever to download

    Ever since the update a couple of weeks ago, any time someone sends me a picture in a text message, it takes hours before it downloads to my phone.  I can see that it's there, it just won't come in fully for hours.  What gives?

    Having same issue.  Pictures and long texts were taking up to 6 hours to download after update.  Reboot would pull them right in, but then it was back to delay with next message.  I cleared the app cache, then the system cache, no joy.  I turned wifi off, which I should NOT have to do, and no change.  I did a hard reset, and now it's better, but it's still not as fast as it was.  There are times when it's taking up to 10 minutes to download a long winded text, and it's taking longer to send texts - up to 3 minutes (for a 1-3 sentence text).
    One thing I noticed is that my signal strength is fluctuating wildly, and I have a feeling that is the cause of this.  I can sit in one spot in my house and the signal strength will go from 5 bars to 1 and any where in between in a matter of seconds.  If the signal bars stay at 5 for a while, the texting seems to be fine.  But when the signal starts fluctuating the texting slows down drastically.

  • Text messages take long to send

    My text message are taking a long time to send and many times do not send out or has an error, what is happening? I have service through AT&T for and iphone4S.

    What is telling you that it takes a long time? Do you have a good cellular signal when trying to send a text. Text messages are controlled by the carrier. What troubleshooting have you done on the phone?

  • After I upgraded my iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up sending text messages.  It will send a few, then mid conversation I will have to turn my phone off and back on, sometimes a few times, before it will allow me to send or receive messages again.

    After I upgraded my Iphone 4 with the ios 7.1.1 it locks up while sending text messages.  I can usually send a few then will have to restart my phone(often more than once) to get it to send and receive messages again.  I have done a back up and complete reset and that has not fixed the problem.    Have been told that the ios 7.1.1 just isn't compatible with the Iphone 4 so that's why it is locking up so often, but I am hoping someone else may have a better answer since it can't be undone.  Thanks!

    7.1.1 is certainly compatible with the iPhone 4. Just try a reset first.
    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)

  • Text messages don't always send; I get a red flag message. How can I make them re-send automatically?

    This drives me nuts: Occassionally, but not often, I will send a text message and it does not go through. This happens both when I am using iMessage or regular text messages. It gets me into a lot of trouble: I assume my text message has gone through, then check my phone half an hour later and realize the message has not been sent. I don't even get a vibration or a notice that it hasn't sent; it's only when I check my messages that I see the red flag but my undelivered message.
    How can I get the iPhone to just automatically keep trying to re-send these messages until it goes through, or at the very least to give me a notification buzz when the message doesn't go through so I know to manually re-send it myself?

    At this time that option does not exist. The only workaround that I can think of is to watch and make sure the text sends before closing the app.

  • Text messages often don't send to other iphones on the first try

    When I try to send a text message to a fellow Iphone user, it says it's sending but does not fully send. The bar stops just short. Later, it will say message failure and I will retry and that usually works. I don't understand why it does that. I also do not get text messages from Iphone users sometimes. It is very odd. I was wondering if anyone else has this problem.
    (Iphone 4s user)

    Same problem since last night!  What I didn't realize is that I was also not receiving texts and phonecalls.  I wish I could tell you why or how to fix it. I just looked through every setting and all seemed normal. I turned the iPhone off then back on and everything came pouring in. This can't be the big solution though as I did that several times last night with no result.
    I did notice it said 'searching 3G' at the top when attempting to send texts. I updated half of my apps the other day and wonder if that was the casue. My carrier is Rogers, but others in my home, with iPhones and a BB were not having any issues.
    Good luck

  • I am unable to send a text message.  I can send a imessage fine.  I am able to receive a text message but not send

    I have been unable to send a regular text message since the other day when I arrived in Houston and took my phone off airplane mode.  I have went thru the carrier and nothing we did solved the problem.  What are some options I could try.  I have no problems sending imessages as long as there is a data connection.

    Text messages are a carrier feature so if you are having problems sending them I would check with your carrier

  • Since installing iOS 8, why do I receive new text message alerts when I send text messages?

    When I send an outgoing text message, I receive a new text notification in the form of a badge on my text message app. Any ideas how to make this stop?
    Specs:
    iPhone 5s
    iOS 8.0.2

    Sonds like you guys are sharing the same apple id.  Go to settings - message - send and receive and make sure your phone number is the default for both phones.

  • Is There Any Way To Select A Text Message And Block The Sender?

    I have received a few text messages that show partial email addresses as the sender.  I cannot see the entire address.  How can I block them?
    The free blocking service on My Verizon requires you to enter a phone number but (1) these do not show a phone number and (2) I cannot see the entire email address.

        ReallyMadCustomer, unwanted text messages from certain phone numbers can be a nussiance! I totally understand. The free Call and Messaging block feature was designed to block ten digit mobile numbers only. http://vz.to/MqEgqB I apologize that this feature is unable to block e-mail addresses. However, if this is a marketing text message, we recommend that you reply with the word "STOP" to remove your mobile number from that mailing list.

    I am having the same issue with my daughters phones.  I believe its an issue with Pantech.  My daughter has a Pantech Crux and is able to make calls, receive calls, and send text messages but she is not able to receive any messages.  My other daughter has a Pantech Hotshot and is having the exact same issue. We contacted Verizon and went through all of the troubleshooting necessary and even reset the phone and it still didn't work.  Verizon sent out a replacement phone today (Crux) and the issue is still not resolved.  This tells me it's an issue with Pantech... maybe a software update was done?? Both of my daughters are teenagers and mainly communicate through text messaging, so I am sure anyone can understand that they are in crisis LOL.  Any suggestions on what to do next?

  • Text messages disappear from 1 sender before I can read but app still shows as unread even though there is no message

    I have an iphone 5.  When I receive text messages from 1 person (another iphone user) I receive the alert but the message disappears.  Also my imessage app shows I have an unread message but the message is not there.  I can send text messages to this person but imessages will not work.  I am wondering if the issues in on my phone or the other persons.  I have no other issues with any other contacts and according the to other person they have no other issues.  Any help would be appreciated. 

    I had the same thing happen today. The solution seemed to be to open a few of my most recent text messages and manually delete some of them. Even though, those messages were already marked as read.
    It worked for me and the count cleared. Hope this helps!
