Many LG phones are unusable on T-Mobile due to ‘LG IMS’ issues, here’s a potential fix

LG may have exited the smartphone market, but that doesn’t mean that current LG handset owners have switched to other brands right away.

[{"selector":"#anim-a8436415-c7fb-4c84-8212-e5796d6b6176 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-34.15771474761963%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

LG still offers a generous update policy to those who own a smartphone from the manufacturer, so things could have been much worse.

However, unfortunate T-Mobile subscribers who own an LG handset are currently left with nonfunctional phones,

[{"selector":"#anim-18f4ca94-1d6b-42f4-92b4-ab7898e72837 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(-56.5429685127249%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

Luckily, there is a fix that works for many people, and T-Mobile and LG are already looking into the problem.

[{"selector":"#anim-ff4d1ba7-a980-4d3f-8e1c-a43f066cc440 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(36.863057245126306%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

What does the ‘LG IMS has stopped’ message mean As spotted by The T-Mo Report on Reddit, the issue is affecting a variety of LG phones on T-Mobile.

[{"selector":"#anim-a2cf9bf7-fb7c-4381-877d-01d3e3c9669b [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(34.735413747266534%, 0, 0) translate(25%, 0%) scale(1.5)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0) translate(0%, 0%) scale(1)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.14,.34,.47,.9)","fill":"forwards"}]

The “LG IMS has stopped” message has started showing up overnight for many, and it keeps popping up even when people dismiss it.

[{"selector":"#anim-8cb78692-56af-443d-8152-4fc6b7f775f7 [data-leaf-element=\"true\"]","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(31.235351448636845%, 0, 0)","translate3d(0%, 0, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(.3,0,.55,1)","fill":"both"}]

This makes LG phones on T-Mobile essentially useless, with owners only having seconds to complete actions until the message pops up again.
