Group Message not working since move from ios to android

I know there have been lots of threads similar to this. I've looked through those and tried the suggestions, but to no avail. I'm still left with the same issue.
I have not been able to receive any iMessages/Texts from friends while in a group chat on my Android device. I can send them and my friends receive them, but i cannot receive from them. I get individual texts/iMessages fine, just not group and only when it's from an iPhone. I am able to receive group messages from Blackberry, Android and Windows devices.
The catch. I gave up on iPhone and officially moved to Android.
Here is what has been done. BEFORE switching to the HTC One, i deactivated iMessage on my iPhone my mac. I made sure to also uncheck the phone number and my email addresses BEFORE deactiviating iMessage. Also did the same with Facetime (not sure if that matters or not).
I have unregistered the iPhone from my Apple profile/support account.
I have deleted all iPhone numbers from my iCloud contacts.
I have the correct settings in Android.
I have made sure that my friends have it set to send SMS if iMessage is not available.
I've ran out of ideas, and ran out of places to go since Apple's support only had the one suggestion which was for them to remove the phone number from iMessage.
Please help!

Hey there highaltitude,
I am sorry to hear that you are still having issues receiving text messages from iPhone users. I recently switched from an iPhone myself and have experienced the same issue. You have exhausted all the basic troubleshooting steps for this issue. I ended up having to reach out to Apple Support myself to ask them to deregister my number from iMessages.

IOS Group Messaging not working when Android phones are involved

Group Messaging not working for me when there are both Iphones and Androids involved. iPhones still using iOS 7 don't seem to be having problems leading me to believe this is an iOS 8 problem. Is there a workaround for this yet, or is this a legitimate bug fix that Apple will have to address?

Hey geoff_zen,
Thanks for the question. After reviewing your post, it sounds like you arr having trouble with group messages. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.
iOS: Troubleshooting Messages
To resolve issues with sending and receiving iMessages, follow these steps
Check iMessage system status for current service issues.
Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive and make sure that you registered iMessage with your phone number or Apple ID and that you selected iMessage for use. If the phone number or Apple ID isn't available for use, troubleshoot iMessage registration.
Open Safari and navigate to www.apple.com to verify data connectivity. If a data connection isn't available, troubleshoot cellular data or a Wi-Fi connection.
iMessage over cellular data might not be available while you're on a call. Only 3G and faster GSM networks support simultaneous data and voice calls. Learn which network your phone supports. If your network doesn't support simultaneous data and voice calls, go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn Wi-Fi on to use iMessage while you're on a call.
Restart your device.
Tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings on your iPhone.
If you still can't send or receive an iMessage, follow these steps
Make sure that the contact trying to message you isn't blocked in Settings > Messages > Blocked.
Make sure that the contact you're trying to send a message to is registered with iMessage.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, back up or forward important messages and delete your current messaging threads with the contact. Create a new message to the contact and try again.
If the issue occurs with a specific contact or contacts, delete and recreate the contact in the Contacts app. Create a new message to the newly created contact and try again.
Back up and restore your device as new.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Group Message not working iPhone 6/ iOS 8

I am not able to receive group messages after I updated to iOS 8.0.2 I just activated my iPhone 6 about 3 weeks ago (Before the Apple pay update). It was working fine until I updated the software with the Apple Pay. Initially I thought ALL the group messages are not working. After few trials I realized it was only the case when the group included both iPhone and non-iPhone users. Groups with ALL iPhone users is working fine.
I have checked everything possible, but nothing works.
- Turned off-on iMessages
- Turned off-on Group messages
- Reset Network Setting
- Erased and Reset the Entire phone from Phone settings (Now operating on iOS8.1)- still not working
- Called my carrier and they didn't seem to understand why I was having this problem
I then spoke with Apple Support who ran few diagnostic tests and they didn't find anything. They suggested that I re-set the phone to brand new phone (with out iCloud back-up) via iTunes (not from phone settings) and see if that will fix this. I will try this later tonight and see if I have any luck.
I tried telling customer service that I want to return my phone and get a new one- but they seemed to keep me away from that option.
Has anyone else experienced this? If so, any suggestions?

Group Messages Not Working between Android and iPhone Users on iOS7

Hi there,
I am a former iPhone user. I recently converted both my line and my wife's line from the IPhone 5 to a Motorola X Android phone. We kept our same phone numbers, but we completely switched from Verizon to AT&T. I have noticed that text messaging works perfectly on an individual basis when I correspond with individuals who have the iPhone, but Group Messaging is not working correctly. I am able to send messages to a group and they receive them just fine, but when they respond back to me, I do not receive their responses (as it appears they are going through as iMessages). My wife is having the same issue on her phone. After doing some detective work, I have found that hundreds of other users are having the same issues on their smartphones when they make the switch from an Apple product to an Android phone. There are a variety of "bug fixes" listed on the web, but I have completed all of them and I am still having the same issue. Here is what I have done so far...
*Factory reset both of our phones and removed the SIM cards (since we are with a new phone carrier)
*Changed both of our apple ID passwords
*Removed both of our phone numbers from Apple's database all together
*Unregistered both of our iPhone products with Apple
*Had all of my friends/family switch SMS to "On" in their Settings tab
So now what? I read one post on an Apple forum that said that they are aware of the issue and we can expect a fix in a future iOS update...but when is that going to occur, if at all? It is problems like these that led me to leave Apple all together, and here I am after having left the company, and I am still left high and dry searching for solutions to my problems. Who can help, and how can I remedy the situation?
Anything you can provide to help out would be great.
Thanks.

There are reports of iOS7 altering the settings on iMessage's connection to the iPhone. Verify that each of the iPhone and the Mac is receiving on the "channel" (phone number or email address) on which the other is initiating iMessages.

Individual iMessage ok but group message not working

I am suddenly having problems with iMessage. I can send individual messages but when I try to send a group message, it just hangs and the message eventually completely disappears from my message history. This is both for new conversations and existing conversations. It makes no sense. Help!!!

CORRECTION:
Mms is not working despite it being on. Friends ARE NOT receiving group messages and I can't send mms to anyone individually.
Sorry for the confusion. Confused some details between the old 3GS and this 4S

Group message not working

I am not receiving group messages from others, but I cannot send more than 1 message at a time. Ive added them into a group but it only sends to the person first on the recipients. They do have iphones and samsung galaxys.
I have tried to download app to help such as Textra but still the same problem.

You should contact your operator about this,my guess is that they have to approve the option.
All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

Group messaging not working with groups that contain non iphone users

I have an Iphone 5 and for some reason I can't send/receive group messages with groups that contain non Iphone users. Basically I recieve single text messages/imessage from each person who responds to the group message. This is incredibly annoying.

Hello, megbu36.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
Check to make sure that group messaging is enabled. Go to Settings > Messages and turn on Group messaging.

Text Messaging not working (Dallas TX - 75013, iOS 6 Plus, iOS 8.1.2)

Hasn't been working since Dec 30.
I get "Sending 1 of x messages" for every message sent and they don't appear in the text convo screen afterwards. Its like they timeout and then disappear.

Hi there dslfkjiadjfkoadsjfadsfjoadsifo! With the concerns you are mentioning here, there are a couple things that you can try to fix this. One would be known as a soft reset which can be done by pressing and holding the power button along with the home button at the same time until the phone restarts. You can also reset the network settings on your phone by following these steps here http://vz.to/1E060LT . This should get things all taken care of for you. If you are still having trouble just let us know! Good luck to you!

IMessage not working since upgrading to ios 5.1 iPhone or iPad??!!

Both myself and my partner have iPhones. I'm on a 4S she has my old 3GS. Since we both updated to 5.1 iMessage doesn't work, anyone I know who hasn't upgraded past 5.0, iMessage still works. Any ideas. Auto time update is on, on both handsets, it's strange as it was working for a few days after the update then it suddenly stopped one afternoon and hasn't worked since.

Try turning iMessage off, wait a few minutes, then turn it back on.

AirPrint from iPad not working since update to iOS 6.1

I am unable to print from my iPad3 since I updated to iOS 6.1 last weekend. I have the Lantronix xPrintServer Home Edition which had been allowing me to print to my networked Brother HL-5250DN as if it were an AirPrint printer. Now, I get the message, "No AirPrint Printers Found" when I try to select a printer in the Printer Options menu. Is there a way to roll-back this update???

It's probably best to contact Lantronix. From the AirPrint Basics page:
"You also need an AirPrint-enabled printer listed in this article. Printers not listed in this article are not supported by AirPrint."
The xPrintServer is not listed on the AirPrint Basics page.

Message not working since IOS X 10.9.2 update

Message is not sending from my MacBook Pro and no longer is synced with my phone and ipad. The icloud account is incorrect to sync with the other units but on my MAC when I try to sign out, it tells me it will delete all my contacts. Any ideas?

Hi,
Whilst Tim does have the issue of checking the setting for the iMessages account in the Mac version and on the iPhone I think you are telling us about this alert
This can be done in System Preferences or as I have done for this Picture grab in Internet Accounts.
You will notice, and it will back Tim up, that there is no setting to enable this ID for the Messages app on the Mac.
If you deselect Contacts then the alert pops up and Asks you to make a decision.
You can keep the Contacts on the Mac or Delete them.
As long as the Apple ID used for iCloud on both iPhone (and other iOS devices) and the Mac is the same then you can sync the Contacts back for the iOS device if you decide to Delete.
I always choose Keep myself.
To be clear.
To Sync Contacts the iCloud ID has to be the same all round.
To Display iMessages all round the Apple ID used in Messages as the iMessages ID has to be the same - it does not however have to be the same one as iCloud (or even iTunes or App Store).

WiFi not working since upgrading to IOS 7.1.1 on iPhone 4

Can't connect to any WiFi since the IOS upgrade. Ive reset networks, turned airplane mode on/off and powered phone off and on. Nothing works!
Is this a known bug? Any fixes available?

No, it's not a bug. It is most likely an issue with your specific device.
Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.
If the issue persists, take the device to Apple for evaluation.

Wifi syncing not working since upgrading to iOS 6

Has anyone had an issue with and found a solution to wifi syncing after upgrading to iOS 6? I have not been able to get either my iPhone 4 or 3d gen iPad to sync since upgrading last week. I have the latest version of iTunes. I've tried disabling wifi syncing and the closing/restarting iTunes. I've tried turning my iMac's wifi off and on. The devices show, but will not automatically wifi sync.
Thanks in advance!

I have a variation on that problem. I upgraded my iPhone 4s and my new iPad to iOS6. No problems synching the new iPad to iTunes wirelessly. My iPhone will not sync wirelessly unless I turn it off, then on again. However, if the phone goes out of wireless range, then returns, it will no longer sync wirelessly to iTunes. Otherwise, the wireless connection appears to be working, e.g., I can connect to the internet.

Messages not working since HDD replacement

Hello! So my MBPr stopped booting a week ago and I had to have both fans, the motherboard, HDD, and back plate replaced. That's done, everything works now except Messages. I rely on messages to communicate with my team and my family, so this is a bit of an issue. I've wandered the forums and tried many of the steps (restart, deleting plists, resetting PRAM, resetting/repairing keychain, confirming font availability, etc). But to no avail. When I click on the icon for Messages, it bounces in the dock, the dot indicates it is started, but the window does not appear. If I wait perhaps 10 seconds and click it again, the window appears but is blank. I cannot select anything from the menu (no preferences or anything) and no conversations or login prompts appear. Please help!

From the menu bar, select
 ▹ About This Mac
Below the "OS X" legend in the window that opens, the OS version appears. Click the version line twice to display the serial number. If the number is missing or invalid according to this web form, take the machine to an Apple Store or other authorized service center to have the problem corrected.

Autofill for email addresses not working since migration from G4 to MacBook

Hi,
I was able to move the appropriate Mail folder and preferences files over to my new MacBook. Everything is working great except when I start typing in an email address, Mail doesn't start autofilling the rest of the recipient's address. Does anyone know if there's a file I can move over from my old Mac to get that working again? Is an address book thing (which I didn't migrate over).
Thanks!
Bob

I've been having the exact same problem but I've figured it out.
On my previous OSX version (Snow Leopard) I synced my Calendars and Contacts between my work and home computer via Dropbox. What I did was create a symbolic link for these two folders:
:: <user>/Library/Calendars and
:: <user>/Library/Application Suppport/Address Book
...linking to folders inside <user>/Dropbox where the data was stored and synced between the two computers.
I have now replaced the symbolic links with the actual data/folders and everything is back to normal with Mail accessing my Contacts.
If you are having a similar issue, make sure to close Mail and Contacts applications and COPY the data back, so that you have a backup of your data if something doesn't work. I turned off iCloud when I did this but not sure if that's neccessary.
Hope it helps.
