[Q] Unable to Send SMS with Dev Edition

My SMS sending just stopped on verizon, was on with chat and they couldnt fix it. It just stops working and takes hours to send messages?
Anybody else?
My S4 stopped sending SMS. Solved it by replacing the SIM.
Mine stopped working tonight as well. Verizon non dev edition
Did any of you recently install Adblock Plus or Adguard? They're known to interfere with SMS/MMS messages.
I have gone thru two sims. I had at one point installed it but reset my phone since. I am going to do a complete wipe now including internal sd.

Won't Send SMS

Ever since I have had this LG G3, it seems for no reason at all, at times, it will sit there and spin saying "sending" when I send a text. Happens sometimes when sending email as well using LG's built-in email. Tried rebooting, turning on or off wifi, have a good LTE connection at the time, but no dice. Just sits and spins saying sending. And usually eventually fails sending. Other times it sends immediately. I never know if I hit send if the SMS is going to be sent or not. It's quite frustrating. My wife and I are on the same provider (Rogers) and when this happens with my phone, I grab her Note 4, try sending out a text and boom, instantly sent.
I'm running stock 5.0.1. Two mods, CTT and Trickster. I have checked APN's and they are identical to my wife's Note 4.
Does anyone have any idea what else I could try to make the SMS and email sending more reliable?
Another strange thing. The stock messaging app doesn't show any messages. I have deleted them all. I installed Textra to see if sending messages was any better and there are about 10 voice mail message texts sitting in there. These are the notification I get when I get a voice mail. I had called Rogers before and asked if I could turn these redundant text messages off and they said I didn't have that option set on my account?? Not sure where they are coming from then. I do get the voice mail icon notification as well when I get a voice mail.
I deleted all of the messages, closed Textra and reopened, only to find all the texts had returned. WTF? I deleted them again, same thing. Tried cleaning cache and data for both the stock messaging app as well as Textra, same problem. Perhaps these messages are interfering some how with sending/receiving texts? I changed my phone number on this phone recently as I was getting a bunch of non-wanted calls and thus all these voice mails. Could these be left over from the previous number? Not sure why I can't delete them permanently. Man, what a pain.

Where are my texts (and other items) on my new phone?

Hello,
My Note 4 suddenly did not turn on (hard brick). I received a new device but had two worries (could not reset the old device, could not transfer from it).
Many of my apps autoloaded on the new Note (thanks Android). Pictures, videos, recordings, and screenshots on internal memory were gone and so were old text messages and voicemails. Is there no chance Android/Google stored this automatically somewhere? How do I check?
Why are pending text messages or voicemails not shown? How would I know who tried to contact me in the weeks that the old phone is broken?
In the future I'll save everything (pictures etc...) to the external SD. Can I do daily auto-backups with SMS Backup & Restore for texts? What about voicemails? Is there no way to prevent texts in transit from getting deleted - if my phone doesn't work how can I save texts I've never seen or read??
Thank you.
If you have set up a Samsung account on your phone it will back up sms mms every 24 hours but only on wifi. As far as voicemail if you use the stock voicemail app you can have it set up to forward all voicemails to your email address. From there you can listen to them through your email account.

Unable to receive sms text messages / Able to send sms text messages

I have a Huawei Mate 20 X EVR-AL00 on buildnumber 10.1.0.165 (latest update).
Lately, I noticed my phone does not receive sms text messages. The strange thing is, I have no problem sending text messages at all! With this, I started my investigation:
* Deleted all cache and data from my default sms app.
* Installed a third party app (Google Messenger)
* Restarted my phone
* Turned off my phone for a couple of minutes
* Put my simcard into another phone. (Which immediately received all the sms text messages).
With this last test, I can almost be sure that the problem is caused by my phone. The only thing is, what causes this problem? Looking online, people only talk about not being able to send and receive sms text messages. My problem is different, because I have no problem sending sms text messages.
Another strange thing is, that after the simcard swap and back to my Mate 20 X again, I did receive one or 2 newly send sms text messages on my Mate 20 X. After a couple of minutes, the problem reoccurred and I couldn't receive sms text messages anymore.
Is any of you familiar with this problem? Could hardware even be the problem, because of me still being able to send sms text messages?
Thanks in advance!

Razer Phone on Lineage 18.1-20211030-NIGHTLY-cheryl is unable to send any texts

I have Lineage version 18.1-20211030-NIGHTLY-cheryl installed on my Razer Phone.
I'm unable to send any text messages to single contacts, but I can send text messages to multiple contacts without any problems. I can also use data and make calls normally. The texting problem is not due to reception; I've tried many locations miles apart and couldn't send texts from any of them. Calling, however worked well at all of the locations.
A different Razer Phone running on stock rom is able to send text messages using my SIM card, but my phone is not able to send texts with the same SIM card. However, because my SIM card is able to send text messages when placed inside the stock Razer, neither my SIM card nor the phone company's network is likely to be the problem.
I've ruled out Wi-Fi calling as the problem. On stock Razer, Wi-Fi calling has, in the past, interfered with my text messages. However, I have Wi-Fi calling disabled on my Lineage Razer and I still can't send any texts.
Has anyone had problems with texting on their Lineage Razer Phone? I've already spent days researching this problem and failed to find anything that works. As much as I love having an updated phone, not being able to text is a serious problem. Does anyone have any ideas that could spare me from having to return to stock?
