Can't Send SMS After 8.1 Update

Hi

Anyone of you experiencing this ? I can't send SMS out after the update to 8.1, I can receive SMS though.

Downloaded. Seemed okay. Now can see the Bluetooth device battery level.
Weird that the battery level is not displaying next to the BT icon on the top bar but within the notification shade. Not user friendly at all.

Hi

I've kind of resolved this problem. Apparently, the 8.1 upgrade enabled VoLTE, and that is the cause of the SMS failure.

I tried disabling VoLTE and voila, I can send SMS again ! The moment I enabled VoLTE back, SMS no go.

So far, M1 and StarHub subscribers are having this problem, can someone on SingTel confirm the same ?

The HD on top means VOLTE?

You are a genius man! SMS can be sent out after turning off the Enhanced 4G LTE Mode under Network settings.

For those cannot find the setting, type "Enhanced" in the search box under settings.

Maybe Google screwed up with the latest updates for the app.

Hi

Do you have your VoLTE turned on ? If you see HD next to the 4G symbol on your menu bar then it is turned on. If it is on and you are able to send SMS then the problem lies with M1 and StarHub only.

No SMS problem on Singtel

Go to Settings - Network & Internet - Mobile Network - Advanced - Enhanced 4G LTE Mode. Just flip the switch to ON. Then you will see HD appeared next to your 4G symbol on the top menu bar.


I am on singtel but i don't have VoLTE. How to enable it?
