Group Text Messages Won't Download On My Droid Razr Maxx HD

Many times my Droid Razr Maxx HD will not receive group text messages.  Often, not always, when I receive a group text I get a message notification and when I look at the screen it simply says "downloading."  This downloading can go on for hours.  Two days ago one simple text message took 7 hours to download.  This is a recent problem probably only going back 3 weeks or so.  The other phones in this group text are two I Phone 5's, an I Phone 5 s and a Samsung Galaxy SIII.  My phone is used for business and my inability to receive a text quickly is hurting my business.  I may as well not have a cell phone.  Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

I, too, am having the same issue.  I also notice the phone gets fairly warm/hot at times.  This all started after the most recent update.  It's highly annoying, as you all know, to see "Downloading  0kb" or "Downloading 30kb" over and over for both group texts as well as standard MMS.  Having to turn off WiFi, get the messages/downloads, then re-enable it is a hassle and not one that was present prior to the update.
I've been with Verizon for a little less than 2 years but if pushing out mandatory patches to their phones causes problems like this then I would have no qualms switching to AT&T. 
I like my phone and, for the most part, I've liked my service.  I've Googled this issue and TONS of people are having it since the update.  I hope Verizon is listening to it's customers and working on a patch of some sort.

  • Why are group text messages coming as downloads?

    Since I downloaded the newest droid softward my group messages which go out to iphone users are often coming back as a download.  The download often just keeps running or I have to go out of texting mode and go back in again to get the text.  This doesn't happen in individual texts to these people.  What can I do??

    If you text them a lot as a group, you should look into the GroupMe app. It's available for Android and iOS and can use either data or and SMS (so it can actually be used without the app). Basically, you post to the group and everybody gets it.

    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.

  • Why can't I send group text messages on my Iphone 3GS any longer?

    I have been sending and receiving group text messages on my iphone 3GS for awhile and all of a sudden I am receiving "Message Send Failure" error messages when I try to send a group message.  I think I still get group messages but you can no longer see that it is a group message and who the group members are.  I turned the Group setting off and then back on in Settings and turned the phone off and back on with no improvement.

    Make sure your account is provisioned for messaging/texting.
    Also, Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging > On

  • Is there a way to send a group text message to more than 10 recepients?

    Is it possible to send a group text message to more than 10 recipients? I called AT&T tech support and they said the phone's software limits group messages to no more than 10.

    Apple does not explain why it makes the choices it does, nor will you get a response
    from Apple on this forum. You can make Apple aware of your thoughts at
    www.apple.com/feedback  Your message will be read, but not answered.
    AFAIK, there is no way to increase the limit of the native app. Use a 3rd party app if that
    function is important to you. Others have expressed similar frustration in the past and
    have chosen another app to fill their needs.

  • How can I hide the recipients of a group text message?

    How can I hide the recipients of a group text message?

    This is Illustrator, no matter which version you are using.
    It doesn't work like in other programmes and Illustrator's behaviour is often undesired.
    There is no good trick that I'm aware of to mimic Draw's or Freehand's way to do it.

  • Email messages won't download on Mac Pro but do download on iPhone.

    Email messages won't download to Mac Pro but do download on iPhone 5. I've made no changes in the settings on added any updates, etc. When I "check for new mail" I hear an ping - a tone I normally don't get but no messages appear. Thanks in advance for an help you can give.

    I had to call Apple Support for resolution. I'm not entirely clear on the origin of the problem but it seems that the server name(s) for Apple Mail were changed by Yahoo. It took a considerable time to correct but a senior advisor at Apple pulled it through.
    Thank you all for your suggestions.

  • Group Text Message

    How do you reply just to sender or at least find out who the sender is in a group text message.

    for imessage:  the contacts name should be right above the text or pics.   If you do a reply to that text everyone in that group will receive your reply.  Best to just create a new text to the sender and reply to what he/she text you.

  • Is there any way to tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered.

    How can you tell to whom a group text message has actually been delivered?

    I use Verizon's Messages+ app; when I send a group text, then long press the message, I get a menu and one of the selections is Message info.  That will show me the contacts I sent the message to.  It doesn't always tell me who got it though - for example, I recently sent a group message to my four kids.  The status shows:
    Child 1 - Delivered (On Verizon, separate plan/account)
    Child 2 - Delivered (On my More Everything plan)
    Child 3 - Delivered (On AT & T)
    Child 4 - Sent (On T-Mobile)
    I got replies from Child 1, 3, 4 - and all the replies all were sent to all in the group.  So I know Child 4 got the message and replied to the group, even though it doesn't say delivered.
    I guess if it says "Sent" or "Delivered" you can assume it was delivered to the recipients phone.  If it did not get sent, it will say it failed to send or something.  Whether the recipient has READ it or not can't be determined, unless, of course, they reply. In that case you know they got it and read it. 

  • Group text messaging

    Why am I not able to group text message on the iPhone 4. I want it to work like a chat room? When I send a message to everyone I want their reply to also be sent to everyone.

    Who is your carrier?
    Enabling this feature is simple:
    Go to Settings > Messages > Group Messaging and turn it on. That's it!
    Now, when you send a group message, if the other user has the feature enabled, they will be able to see everyone in the conversation as well as send a message back to everyone.
    It has been present since iOS 3

    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.

  • 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.

    I cannot send or receive group text messages and picture messages / MMS.  The settings on Messages are already set to receive group texts but it does not help. What should I do?

        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?

  • Send and receive mms and group text messages on Samsung Galaxy Core Prime

    I moved from a basic phone to a smartphone.  I used to be able to receive group text messages and MMS messages without having to use data or be connected via wifi.  Why is it I have to use data or be connected to a wifi sourceto receive those messages now?

    The antennae or radios in the Prime are configured differently than most flagship type smartphones and even different still from basic phones.  It comes down to difference of hardware.
