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.

Cfdirectory action=list not working with directories that contain an ampersand

Our IT group just upgraded one of the our file share servers from Windows Server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2. We quickly noticed a problem with CFDIRECTORY listing the contents of directories that contain an ampersand (e.g. //192.168.1.10/Simon & Garfunkel/). We are using ColdFusion 10 Update11 on Windows Sever 2012 R2 and everything worked fine prior to this upgrade. In addition, we created the same directory locally and tried running CFDIRECTORY and the same problem occurred. The cfm page doesn't crash or report an exception in the log, it just doesn't return any results. Thanks in advance for help on this issue.

Thanks Adam, I just found the problem. I think it was a
problem in the database, though I'm not sure why it works on the
development and not on the production. The field that I pull the
"thename" value from is a type varchar(10) and when cfoutputted
like this [#thename#] it would result in [O MAN], however I tried
outputting it into a textbox field and it showed [O MAN ] (<---
actually "O MAN" followed by 5 spaces). The value was padded to ten
characters. I'm baffled. Varchar is supposed to be variable width
only using the number of actual characters without padding, right?
Of my own folly I was trimming the results of the #thename#
#codeno# pair and not thename itself. Once I set thename to
trim(thename) it worked, of course. I'm still very confused why
this works in the development environment and not in production,
and to why the padding to begin with. But, I will not borrow any
more trouble and just be happy it is resolved!
Thanks for all your help!

Re: EJB Control not working with methods that contain arguments

John,
I'm not qualified to answer your EJB control question, but before you
become too disillusioned with page flows I'd like to mention that the
request scoped data form and and the return-to="page" issues you
mentioned have been addressed for the next service pack. We've
introduced the ability to specify a page flow scoped form bean which
lives for the life of the page flow, and we've clarified the return-to
values to include both "currentPage" and "previousPage" which should
clarify the expected behavior.
I hope you give it a try.

Can you just attach your stateless session bean. You need not sendthe
dependent files, since we only want to sniff the call made to the stateless
EJB method, and are not concerned with the implementation.

Anurag,
I am using the GA release. My control looks identicle toTraderEJBControl.jcx
except of course it is extending a different home and bean interface.The
bean
itself does not exacly match the traderbean but it does look very
similar
to MusicBean.java
in the tutorialsApp. One thing that has me a bit confused is the
fact
the
create()
method is being called every time I make a method call on the control.Shouldn't
the bean only be created once at the first method call and persistfor the
life
of the session?

It

Why are videos taken with a 4S suddenly not working properly when sent to non iphone users since the update?

Suddenly non I-Phone users cannot view videos anymore, they can hear the sound, but no audio. Iphone users are having issues viewing the videos too. This all started with the 6.0 update. Please fix it or tell me how to restore my phone back to the previous update, it is quite annoying.

Hello VintageShaay,
It sounds like you are getting some audio issues with the included Ear Buds when they are plugged in. I wanted to recommend these troublehsooting steps from the article named:
Troubleshooting iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch accessories
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2634
3. Disconnect and Restart
Disconnect the accessory and turn it off, if possible. Restart iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad by turning it off and then back on. When the Home screen reappears, reconnect the accessory.
4. Isolate
Isolate the issue to the accessory, if possible. Or, if available, try to reproduce the issue with another identical or similar accessory.
Examples:
If there is static coming from the left audio channel when using headphones, try connecting the headphones to a stereo, or try connecting a different set of headphones to the device.
If the device is not syncing when connected to the dock, try connecting it directly to the computer using the Dock Connector to USB Cable, or try another USB port.
6. Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Restore iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch to its factory default state. You should rarely need to use this step with an accessory issue. If the issue only affects a third-party accessory, contact the manufacturer before restoring the device.
Also if that does not resolve the issue, try the steps from the following article:
Apple EarPods: Low or muffled sound

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.

Have a nice day,

[svn:bz-trunk] 16395: Bug: #2621264 [Regression] Small messages not working with NIO-HTTP endpoints in LCSD/trunk.

Bug: #2621264 Small messages not working with NIO-HTTP endpoints in LCSD/trunk.
QA: Yes
Doc: No
Checkintests: Pass
Details: This is the BlazeDS side of the fix. This wasn't a regression, it probably never worked correctly. So, in the scenario where there's a Producer and a Consumer, and Producer sends a message for the Consumer, there are 2 messages from the server. The ACK message for Producer's send, and the actual message Consumer receives. I found that the ACK message was in small form, but the actual message was not in streaming messages. This was because we never really tried to convert streamed messages into small messages before.

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?

Regex with strings that contain non-latin chars

I am having difficulty with a regex when testing for words that contain non-latin characters (specifcally Japanese, I haven't tested other scripts).
My code:
keyword = StringUtil.trim(keyword);
//if(keywords.indexOf(keyword) == -1)
regex = new RegExp("\\b"+keyword+"\\s*;","i");
if(!regex.test(keywords))
{Alert.show('"'+keywords+'" does not contain "'+keyword+'"'); keywords += keyword + "; ";}
Where keyword is
日本国
and keywords is
Chion-in; 知恩院; Lily Pond; Bridge; 納骨堂; Nōkotsu-dō; Asia; Japan; 日本国; Nihon-koku; Kansai region; 関西地方; Kansai-chihō; Kyoto Prefecture; 京都府; Kyōto-fu; Kyoto; Higashiyama-ku; 東山区; Places;
When the function is run, it will alert that keywords does not contain keyword, even though it does:
"Chion-in; 知恩院; Lily Pond; Bridge; 納骨堂; Nōkotsu-dō; Asia; Japan; 日本国; Nihon-koku; Kansai region; 関西地方; Kansai-chihō; Kyoto Prefecture; 京都府; Kyōto-fu; Kyoto; Higashiyama-ku; 東山区; Places; " does not contain "日本国"
Previously I was using indexOf, which doesn't have this problem, but I can't use that since it doesn't match the whole word.
Is this a problem with my regex, is there a modifier I need to add to enable unicode support or something?
Thanks
Dave

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.

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

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

Problem with multi take drum tracks not working with group selection editing

HI All
Ive recently tracked drums into using 7 mics and doing multiple takes layered on top of each other, the 7 takes belong to the same group and i have enabled group editing in the settings.
I think i changed the comp options at the end of the track and as a result audio tracks 1 and 2 edit between takes together fine. I.e. when i choose say take 5 with track it does the same selection for track 2.
Tracks 3-7 work in the same way fine, im just wondering if anyone knows how to get them as a complete group again so that when i choose take 5 for example on the one audio track, it will make the same selection for all of them!
thanks

Colin,
I did a multi camera edit of Act 1 of a taped performance and all went well. Moved on to Act 2, which ran longer and each camera needed a tape change. So I matched the clips from each camera on each video track and tried to move on to the sync & then create a multi camera sequence stage of the project. That's when I hit a road block. I could not sync the four video tracks. So I consulted Adobe's on line help and this was all I could find about my predicament:
Note: Adobe Premiere Pro uses an overlay edit when synchronizing clips. Take care not to overwrite adjacent clips if you have multiple clips on the same track.
So what was I to do next? I found your post and now know exactly what to do. Thanks for a great explaination and saving me a lot of head scratching.
Why couldn't Adobe explain it as well?
Thanks,
Angelo

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.
