Google Messages SMS & 5G

[BanditTA]

I have noticed most times when my phone switches from being on home WiFi and an LTE connection (running Wi-Fi calling) to 5G (not sure if it is only 5G+), SMS messages do not send and error out. My fix is to turn Airplane mode on then off.

I'm not sure if this is a problem in general or related to the OneUI beta.

UPDATE:

In my testing today, it seems to happen when switching between 5G types (i.e. from 5G to 5G+ or LTE to 5G+).

UPDATE2:

I think the issue is with VoNR (Voice over 5G). When I turned this off, the problems seemed to have gone away (so far). I'm on T-Mobile in the US.

UPDATE3:

I spoke too soon. The issue persists.

UPDATE4:

I may be coincidence but so far, I've not hit this issue on beta 2.

This is also causing issue with rcs. Again is it android 14 or Google messages problem.

Well if I find I'm having issues with 5G I turn it off for awhile and I use 4G. It may be a little bit slower depending but it's still fast. I mean if that can fix the issue why not try it? Most phones have the option to turn it on or off as far as I know. I have the S23 ultra from TMOBILE and I can turn it on or off that's what I would do until the beta testing is over

[HelloimRyan]

So why don't you try using 4G only as I said earlier and see if that fixes the problem? I'm on TMOBILE too

Thank you for the suggestions. I'm having the same problem.

So that's weird I don't even have the VoNR option on mine. I'm also on tmobile

Edit: after some research I realized this could be because I have an unlocked s23u not the tmobile variant. Anyone know anything about this or is this a software glitch?

[BanditTA]

I'm running an unlocked S23 Ultra on T-Mobile. I think T-Mobile is rolling our VoNR regionally. I'm in the NYC area.

[Brucyjay]

That makes sense.. I'm in rural PA. 5G SA is kind of rare around here although oddly, i do have it at home but the two cities near me don't haha.

It might that you're using an unlocked S23U. I have the same phone and I was getting issues before I joined the beta program. It'd be random thought. It might be 2G option, as most carriers have dropped 2G access.

[BanditTA]

Yes, I am using an unlocked phone. I wish carries and phone manufacturers were able to have unlocked Android phones work like unlocked iPhones do.
