Droid Razr M can't receive group text in one thread since 4.4.2 update

I just updated my phone with the 4.4.2 version. I am able to send group messages out still. However, when the group replies back it all comes in as individual text messages. This is very inconvenient. I looked in my settings both for messages and the regular settings, but the only settings I could find for group messages was to see if I wanted to send out a single message to the group or individual messages to the group. Can someone let me know how to fix this or do I have to wait for the next update to fix this?

I fixed it! By myself! Me! Single-handedly! OK, I fixed it by accident after trying every thing that I saw mentioned on these forums regarding the update problems. What worked? No clue. I did: 3 soft resets; 3 switching on and off wireless; 5 forgetting and re-discovering my router and re-entering all the password key info; turned it off and left it off for 2 hours; changed/toggled every state of every wireless and data connection switch 5 times.
I'm not sure which of these worked. After turning it off and turning it back on after all the above attempts, I had signals. Wireless and 4G. Who knows why. So, dear Verizon, I take back the mean things I said. I'm sure you were trying as hard as you could in a stressful situation. Neither of us was at our best. Let's just agree to let it go and move on. OK? OK?

Can't Receive/Send Texts To One Person.

We both have an iPhone 4 on Verizon.

I tried adding a 1 before the area code but I have yet to get a response but I'm at work right now so I will call and check if the person got it when I go out for lunch. I will update on whether or not that worked.
I doubt the person blocked me for multiple reasons. 1 - I live with them, we get along great and we normally text each other daily while at work. 2 - I have had someone on my account block a friend of mine before as a joke and when that person was blocked and tried to text me it told them it couldn't send. It didn't just say sent and never make it. And as I said, this person is also on Verizon so I assume it would work the same if they blocked someone.

Why can't I receive group text messages?

Why can't I receive group text messages? I can send group messages and receive a response and texting to individuals works also. My carrier is AT&T

Do I really have to have my LTE/3G data enabled in order to send/receive group text messages???? YES.
If so, that's a complete waste of my data package as far as I'm concerned. ... I'm not sure why I can't send/receive group text messages as plain texts????
Group messages are considered MMS, not SMS. MMS is transmitted over the cellular (data) network. It does NOT use your data plan, it uses your texting allowance. But data DOES need to be enabled to send and receive group and picture texts.

Can't send or receive group texts after 8.1 update

I can't send or receive group texts after I updated my phone. I do get "get media content now" but nothing happens when I click it.

Hi, @ImSqueakaFied.
For which phone model is this? Are you referring to the Lumia Cyan software update or the Windows Phone 8.1 Preview for Developer?
Good job on your very first post, by the way!

I am having issues sending and receiving group texts on my iphone 5c

I am having issues sending and receiving group texts on iphone 5c. I may get texts only from the sender or a few of the recipients, but not all. I spoken to Apple. They are working on the problem but it has been almost two months + and the problem seems to be getting worse. Any one have this issue?

ajspurr, sorry to hear that you're still having some troubles here, but we want to figure this out. If you have already cleared the application cache and data and it's still giving you an issue, we may want to reset the device. By resetting the device we can ensure there are no underlying software issues. If you have the device backed up you can take a look here to see how to reset the device http://vz.to/1ucTCmE. Give that a try and keep us posted.

I can't receive group messages from iphones

I just upgraded to a Sony XPeria Z3 and was assured that I can receive group text messages sent by iphones. I started a group message with two iphone users and am not able to receive their messages within the group, but they can receive mine. Is there a setting I need to enable? Both of them turned on SMS and group messaging on their iphone. Thanks!

Hi there! I'm using the Verizon Messages+ app that came downloaded on my
phone. I just tried testing it out in safe mode and I still couldn't
receive someone's response. The only effective method I've seen work so far
is when I go onto my friends phones, delete any messages I have been in
previously, delete my contact, restart their phone, re-add my contact and
start a new group thread. But I can't tell everyone in my contacts to to do
that.

Anyone having trouble receiving group texts

I am unable to receive group texts. Is anyone else having this problem? I'm wondering if something in the new IOS8 update is making this a problem for me. Thoughts?

No Internet I'm trying to save money and make it to the end of my contract before upgrading. The message, if I receive a message says do you want to download I say yes, and my phone can't do it. Maybe my phone is incompatible. I will do some more testing. Thanks for your thoughts!

IPhone 5c - can't receive group messages after updating to IOS 8.0.2

I have an IPhone 5c and I updated to the IOS 8.0.2 yesterday afternoon and now I can't receive group messages. I have rebooted my phone and reset my network settings along with turning IMessage off & on, turning group messaging off & on.
Does anyone know of a fix for this?

Ok. Just got off the phone with Applecare. We finally figured out what my problem was. Before iCloud, I had a .mac account. So, my phone had two email accounts, 1. iCloud 2. mac.com accounts. Applecare had me delete completely both accounts from my phone, leaving no mail accounts at all. Then I added a new iCloud account. Put in my email address and password, then everything worked from there. Sounds simple. Good luck to the rest of you. Hope it's the same fix. And a big "thank you" to Xavier at Applecare.

I am Canadian and take my iPhone to the USA for 6 months in the winter. I can't receive any texts in the USA unless I'm hooked up to Wifi. Can anyone help please!!!

Help, I'm Canadian and have an iPhone 5c. I take my phone to the USA for the winter and can't receive any texts unless I'm connected to wifi. Have tried everything I can think of and nothing works. Can anyone help? Tried complete reboot, delegating all threads. Turning off iMessage altogether, then I get nothing!

iMessage (the blue bubble) will only come through via a data connection - cellular or wifi. With cellular data turned off, those messages will not come through until you have a wifi connection.
SMS (green bubble) should still come through, but you would need to verify this with your carrier in Canada.

Can't receive normal text messages after updating to iOS5, only iMessages

Over the summer I bought iOS5 from a developer and had it on my phone for about a month until it crashed and I had to restore from a backup. So I put iOS5 back on my phone, and it crashed it again. I decided to wait until yesterday to put it back on, because it was legit and through Apple. Now I can't receive normal text messages from non-iPhone users. I'm only receiving iMessages. The only way to fix it is to turn off iMessage, but that's one of the main features of the update. Help?

i may put my iphone in the toaster tonight i am so $%#@!*^ frustrated.
i have an iphone 4 which i upgraded to ios5 about 4 days ago. yesterday, i realized i wasn't able to receive any text messages, but was (and am still getting imessages), along with the ever-so-vague 'sms mailbox is full, delete some text messages' alert.
so i came to the internet to find out about the supposed 15mb (75k*) limit. Apple's solution on their own site was 'hey, crazy hoarder, why don't you delete some texts?? there you go, EASY PEAZY!' except that didn't work...for me, and a ton of other people apparently.
i came down from 76something to around 67k.
I hard restarted, i ignored it, i deleted more texts, i bought phoneview, i deleted MORE texts, more restarts, NOTHING. it has now been 48 hours with no texts. NEED I ASSURE YOU THAT I AM A VERY IMPORTANT PERSON (as we all are).
so i backed up my phone (again, as i did before the upgrade), and restored it to factory nothingness. restart. restart. stare blankly. no texts.
then, i go to restore from backup (via itunes) so i can at least get all my contacts and whatnot back. lo and behold, my backup is gone. only the option to set up my 'new' iphone. i delay utter panic for a brief second and silently pray to the angel steve, sitting upon his giant white icloud, remembering that i actually paid for extra icloud space and backed up to that as well.
now i'm just waiting for it to restore AT LEAST my contacts, which it now seems to have done by the time i've typed this. PARTIAL crisis averted.
alas, i STILL am not getting any text messages. it seems that calling apple does nothing since apparently no one was told about this and/or how to fix this. i cannot receive text messages from my boyfriend, my parents, my colleagues who all are iphoneless and better off than me at this point.
i am leaving for a business trip in 12 hours. i'd like to figure this out before i put this thing in the garbage disposal or violently smash and use it's parts as confetti. although by the time i do, i will probably have lost all my friends and been disowned by my family for ignoring their jokes / emoticons / cries for help.
i fear apple has become a sentient being, and this is it's way of forcing all people of earth to use iphones...for there will be no other way to communicate with each other once we evolve and are all born with giant thumbs instead of vocal chords...hold me im scared...
it's so dark here...

I cannot send or receive group text messages as well as pictures messages / MMS. What should I do? The settings on Messages was set to receive group texts but it does not solve the problem.

Wow, 1yerdua. That's far too long to be having this messaging trouble. We want to find the resolution fast! If you turn off your Lumia's WiFi (Menu > Settings > WiFi), are you still able to access data-oriented applications like Internet Explorer? Have you been to other areas of the state/country and experienced the same trouble?

TS4268 Android users can't receive my text messaging but their not able to get mine.

Android users can't receive my text messaging but their not able to get mine. Please help.

It isn't your issue, it is his. He needs to make sure he has turned of iMessage and removed his number from the iMessage database. If he does not still have the device, he needs to contact Apple Care to take care of it.

After downloading ios7 on iPhone 5 why am I no longer receiving group text messages.

After downloading ios7 on iPhone 5 why am I no longer receiving group text messages?

Hi, TereseS.
I had the same issue after the update. Most likely this feature just needs to be enabled. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on Group messaging.

HT204065 Group text with one non iPhone not working on iPhone 6 in the group.

Group text with one non iPhone not working on one iPhone 6 in group. SMS, MMS and iMessage as well as group messaging are all turned on. Has worked intermittently but now cannot see or respond in that particular chain. Can send independently to the non iPhone (Samsung) but not in group. Other iPhone 6 and 5 in group work fine.

The reason why you have to turn off 3Gs is because T-Mobile does not support iPhones 1700 something or other. You have to turn off the 3Gs on the iPhone to make it work.
As already provided, it shouldn't matter since the iPhone is designed to automatically connect to the fastest internet connection available. If wi-fi access and 3G network access is on, when in range of an available wi-fi network you have access to and have connected your iPhone with previously, the iPhone will connect to the wi-fi network automatically. When leaving the range of the wi-fi network, the iPhone will connect to the 3G network if 3G network access is available. If 3G network access is not available, the iPhone will connect to EDGE or GPRS - whichever is available at the time.
If this is unique to T-Mobile's network with the iPhone for some reason since T-Mobile is not an official carrier for the iPhone in the U.S. and you were instructed by T-Mobile to do so, then you need to do so.
If this is not working now, the problem lies with T-Mobile and I have no idea what to tell them for them to recognize where the problem lies on their end.
