Why do I get "IMS Service Has Stopped" Message after update I've got an Galaxy S5 neo with Android version 5.1.1. and a recent Android software update has brought with it an annoying popup message that reappears 3 seconds after being dismissed.

It reads:


  Unfortunately, IMS Service has stopped


I've hunted around for suggestions which range from device cache clearance, to uninstalling Facebook Messanger/WahtsApp to taking the battery out, but none of these has helped.

Short of a factory reset which I'm very reluctant to do, is there anything else I can try?
Settings &rarr; Applications &rarr; Default Applications and I set the Messages from Messages to Client, this stopped the pop ups.

Further to this having set Messages to Client I then found out the offending app was myMail, which I uninstalled and was able to set Messages back from Client to Messages

Hope it helps.

The Client is the default message service of Android I believe and the Messages is Samsung Galaxy S5 Neo's own software, I could be wrong, I'm not an expert, I just know how I fixed mine. So following the above, this Client app should be available. Beyond that I'm sorry, I cannot help.
