IMS de LG se sigue deteniendo

The "LG IMS Keeps Stopping" popup began for us every three seconds starting yesterday.  I followed the instructions on a half-dozen YouTube videos exactly, and NONE of them worked.  Then I checked a half-dozen forums and followed all their advice (except a factory reset) and NONE of them took care of the problem.

Unfortunately, it appears that some folks on YouTube are exploiting this problem by posting "fixes" that they have not verified, because all they want is the views and the clicks.  They know that desperate users will watch the video to the end, even though it does no good.

Evidently T-Mobile changed something on Sunday that makes the LG IMS system app "stutter" (but not actually stop) every few seconds.  That is apparent because the phone can still send/receive voice calls and text messages, and "clearing the cache" and "force stopping" only works for 3 seconds before the app resets and attempts to function again -- triggering that popup message every couple of seconds!

LG has stopped selling phones, but supposedly promised support for a couple more years.  T-Mobile and LG have been quiet on the problem so far, even though it affects just about every LG phone on T-Mobile -- that could be many many thousands.

It is frustrating that the forums and YouTube are full of worthless fixes, and the minor news coverage so far says “a small number” are affected (which is not correct).
