I have a LG V30 and I don't see an update but I was able to apply one of the fixes posted here and it worked.

These steps worked for me and have survived restarting as well.

•  tap the Settings gear.
• Choose Apps & notifications. If you don't see that option, tap the General tab.
• Select App info. Tap the Menu icon with three dots, then choose Show system.
• Choose com.lge.ims.rcsprovider from the list, then select Force Stop > OK.
  Important: There are multiple apps with com.lge in the name. Make sure you're selecting the correct one.
• Tap Storage and choose to Clear Cache.
• When that's done, select Clear Data > OK.
• Select the Back arrow to return to the previous screen. Select Force Stop > OK for a second time.
• If the message still shows, choose Force Stop > OK again. You may need to do this several times.

The key to it working (for me) was having to do the force stop/clear data repeatedly.

That T-mobile borked every LG phone and:

• didn’t roll back the change by Sunday night when they had to have known it was their change that caused the problem
• used it as an opportunity to push new phones

certainly seems a bit sleazy. They definitely should get some pushback from customer who were affected. At very least, they should apologize. A bill credit for the last week would go a long way to letting us know they are aware of where responsibility lies.

I give LG kudo’s. Considering they aren’t in the phone business any longer but still pushed out a fix in a few days seems pretty good to me.

I’m still not seeing the update. Propagation can take up to 48 hours typically. If anyone gets the update, please post so the rest of us have some hope of seeing a fix soon.
