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.
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.
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?

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.
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!
