S23 Ultra Texts Not Receiving
After a few hours receiving text messages on my S23 start to slow down and eventually completely stop . Restarting my phone only helps for a few hours until the problem reoccurs. I've tried reinstalling Google Messages, singing up for the Beta, resetting the network settings, disabling wifi, etc.
I have not tried a master reset yet.
I noticed a similar thread regarding an S23 Ultra on a competing carrier’s community site.
Has anyone seen similar issues with the S23? I hate to return it.
Did you use SmartSwitch to import your settings and apps from your old device? I have had an s23 Ultra since a week before launch. It has been nothing short of lightning fast. Are you using Samsung Messages or Google Messages? I have been using Google Messages and haven't had any issues with sending or receiving SMS and MMS messages. I do have chat disabled though. SmartSwitch copying over apps from older devices causes issues. Factory reset your device if you used SmartSwitch to import anything and set it up without copying any backups.

it could also be one of those release bugs new devices end up with from time to time..usually the OEM will have a handful of bug fixes and updates kicked out within the first few weeks ish to fix a lot of them.
I used Smartswitch from my S22 Ultra. I usually used Google Messages, but I validated the issue with both Google Messages and Samsung Messages.
I was thinking of resetting the phone and starting from scratch as a last step.
I’ll try to disable chat.
¡Gracias!

The most annoying issue I know is getting fixed in the next update, is the fingerprint reader. It's just craptastic, even with two stored fingerprints of the same finger. Add in a screen protector and it gets to be borderline unsuable at times. That update should come within the next two weeks unless there is an issue that pops up.
yeah pretty much every device release has some kind of random bugs or issues that no one noticed during testing or it wasnt a large enough issue to hold things back.
you running into the same thing with MMS?
side question though. everything else data wise works fine though correct? and power saver mode is turned off? switch to 4G LTE only or away from 5G and see if the same issue still happens with MMS..you can send yourself a pic to test if it sends and if it actually gets received. wondering if the 23 is having some weird issue with reading/using the 5G with certain things.

I have no issues with MMS. I have sent quite a few over the past week and a half because of the awesome pictures this thing takes. It does have a bit of a learning curve with the camera though. I have chat disabled though in Google Messages.
you dont run RCS through messenger? i just turn off the read reports..if and when i decide to read a text and then eventually reply is my business not theirs lol.

Nope. It doesn't add anything I care about. SMS and MMS is still more reliable right now. Especially with Google tinkering with how RCS works currently.
Googles all i have ran on my last 4 devices..havent ran into any real issues that i can think of.
