Group Text with Android Doesn't Work

Hi- I had been using an iPhone for a few years, and decided to switch over to Android. It took some time to get my phone number disassociated from iMessage/iCloud, but I was eventually able to get that done. Since iOS8 came out, though, I'm starting to experience problems again. Specifically, whenever I group text with multiple iPhone users, everything works fine -- until my wife (an iPhone 6 user) is added into the group. When this happens, everything automatically switches back to iMessage and I stop receiving any messages.
Has anyone else experienced this? Are there any fixes?
Thanks

Just in case other people found my post by Googling, here is my fix I added to my post on the OpenOffice forum.

I tried as many suggestions as I could from the plethora of suggestions above. I'm sure you are correct, it must be the Mac's problem. I took a chance and downloaded LibreOffice; Text to Speech now works the same as it does on TextEdit, the internet, and PdF. Thanks for all the help, I mean that sincerely. OpenOffice is a really fine product.

  • 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.

  • Group texts with iPhone and Android

    I made a group text with 17 of my friends, some on iPhone and some on Android. It started out as one group text, thenme and a couple of other people found that it was creating different group texts. These new group texts wouldnt have certain people in each, there turned out to be about a total of four different group texts going on. What is a probable cause of this? And is there a way to fix the problem without making everyone turn to a third party app?

    Group texting is not one of the iPhone's stronger features. Group texting among a mix of iPhone and Android users is frequently a less than satisfactory experience. I'd go with the third party app. GroupMe is a nice cross platform app. It's free. It lets you mute certain groups if you don't want to be bothered for a while.

  • Linked column with # sign doesn't work in report results

    I have a 2 page query situation, whereas in the 1st page I have a wildcard query to find a product number.
    This product number is set-up as link to run a report which opens in another page.
    (Type is a STRING.)
    Everything works fine unless the product number starts with the # sign.
    I can run a report using this in a non-linked page, but it doesn't work in the linked page...?
    Simple queries
    Page 1
    select
    from
    Products
    WHERE (((upper(TOP_ITEM) like upper(:P1_SEARCH)||'%')))
    and :P1_SEARCH is not null
    (Link on Top Item - :P2_Search)
    Page 2
    select
    from
    Products
    where Top_Item = :P2_Search
    (This works fine if I enter the #[Product] into the text field)
    Link doesn't work...?

    You need to escape the "#" character in the product no and generate the link's HTML code in report #1 directly within the SQL query.
    select ..
       ,'<a href="f?p=REPLACE(product_number,'#',''%23)
      ,'<a href="f?p=' || :APP_ID || ':200:' || :APP_SESSION || '::NO::P200_PRODUCT_NUMBER:' || REPLACE(product_number,'#','%23') || '"> Link</a>' product_number_link
    FROM ..
    {code}
    <i> 200 is report #2's page
    P200_PRODUCT_NUMBER is report #2's page item which is set on redirecting to that page.
    Product_number is the column name of column with '#' characters
    Change display type of product_number_link column to "standard report type"</i>                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                       

  • In a group text with two phones that use Imessage and one that does not. The person that does not, does not get my message when its sent in group text. How do i fix this?

    I have a group text with two of my friends. here's each person break down
    person 1 ATT network, using imessage
    person 2 verzion network, using imessage
    person 3 verzion network, using SMS
    All three of us are in a group chat. When person 1 sends a message, person 2 recieves it, but person 3 does not. Then when person 3 sends a message, both person 1 and 2 get it. When person 2 sends an Imessage, person 1 and 3 get it
    so the problem is when person 1 sends an imessage, it doesnt change to sms and person 3 doesnt get it, but person 2's automatilly switches it to green.
    How can person one get their phone to automaticlly switch it to green in group message while keeping on imessage?

    The quote below from http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5760 indicates that it in the situation you describe it should be going as MMS to everyone -- which is not what you are seeing actually happen (and also not what you want to happen if I understand correctly). There may be something else helpful in the link.
    Group messages will be sent using iMessage if all recipients have iMessage enabled. If not, the conversation will be sent as MMS. Group messages use MMS even if the content is text only.

  • Cropping pictures with Viewer doesn't work.

    Cropping pictures with Viewer doesn't work.
    Selecting < or ~ 12 pictures. (picture size are Snapshots with iphone resolution) ->Viewers opens and display them. -> Russian roullette between cmd+k or the little crop button. No indication which one will process a crop or which not. -> Both result in picture selection disappear with no crop.
    Selecting > 12 pictures. (picture size are Snapshots with iphone resolution) -> Viewer opens and display them. I crop them one by one with same Russian roulllette behavior between cmd+k or the little crop button. -> Closing Viewer. -> Pictures remain like they've been before. Not cropped.

    I just tried what you described (although I can't really fathom why you would describe it as Russian roulette (with a variable number of L's). Unless you've been drinking a lot, which is what people are usually doing when they are playing Russian roulette. Your post was hard enough to decipher without that.
    Anyway, my cropping was saved each time. I think there's something wrong with your Preview.app. Have you changed anything about the autosave functions of OSX?
    I would try:
    Boot into your recovery partition (restart, hold down ⌘R until you see the Apple logo), and use Disk Utility to repair your hard drive. Repair permissions too while you're there. OS X: About OS X Recovery
    if that doesn't help, then I'd reinstall Mavericks over your current installation.

  • Can I Turn off iMessage in a group text with multiple people with different devices? There's 1 person in the group text that doesn't use iPhone anymore and they can't see any messages that are sent unless we send as regular text individually.

    Is there a way to turn off iMessage for a group text that includes multiple people with different non-apple devices? When a message is sent, only the iPhone users can see the iMessage. Those without them cannot see the texts unless we send individual Text Messages or turn off iMessage completely.

    now I have this and it still doesn't work.

  • Text replacements synchronization doesn't work on my Mac

    Hello, I cannot make text replacements synchronization work on Yosemite (the same problem was on Mavericks – I hoped, that Yosemite will fix it, but it didn't). The symptoms are:
    Synchronization backend work properly: when I add or update shortcuts on my iPad, the change will appear in sqlite database stored in ~/Library/Dictionaries/CoreDataUbiquitySupport/... on my Mac
    When I go to Keyboard Preferences → Text, I can see shortcuts synchronized from my iPad there
    The shortcuts doesn't work in applications at all (even if they are enabled via Edit menu)
    I started to play with brand new user account on my Mac and I was able to make synchronization work. After some investigation I found that shortcuts are automaticaly copied from ~/Library/Dictionaries/CoreDataUbiquitySupport/... to ~/Library/Preferences/.GlobalPreferences.plist under NSUserDictionaryReplacementItems key on this new account, but on my real account they don't appear there. If I add some shortcut to .GlobalPreferences.plist manualy, it works in applications as expected. So something which is responsible for keeping CoreDataUbiquitySupport and .GlobalPreferences.plist in sync doesn't work, probably. Any ideas, how this can be fixed?
    By the way, there is one more issue with shortcuts: add/remove/reset to defaults buttons are missing in Keyboard Preferences → Text.

    Try PRAM reset.

  • Annotating pdf documents in Preview - the text search feature doesn't work?

    Hi everyone,
    I'd like to annotate my pdf documents using preview. However, I realized the other day that as soon as I start annotating a document (with notes, shapes, highlighting, etc), the preview text search doesn't work anymore.
    Thanks for any help or advice!

    This is a known problem. I have seen one suggestion to print the annotated PDF as a new PDF in order to get search capability back. You can try the Apple Discussions "search" feature at the upper right corner to look for more suggestions.

  • Scrollable content (pan option) with hyperlink doesn't work

    Hello, I'm trying to layout a page to scroll horizontaly with an hyperlink to a web site. I've followed the steps given in the digitalpubsuite_help.pdf (Page 51 - Last updated 1/25/2012).
    After grouping the image and the hyperlink, I cut it and I paste it into my container frame, but it's there when my container frame doesn't show me the Pan option in the folio builder (it's desactivated) and it remains with the option Web Content active.
    So, I tried to do the same thing, but using a button instead of an hyperlink, but it doesn't work either. And in this case I have the message 'content generation error: invalid URL for web content overlay' when I try to update my article.
    Could somebody help me to figure out why this is happening? What am I doing wrong? Thank you

    No, it takes this property (web content overlay) once I paste the content into the frame. I also noticed that when I group my image with the hyperlink all my group become an hyperlink. I've already reseted it as you say but it didn't work!!!!

  • Build Text Express VI doesn't work without a variable

    I like the build text express VI because it lets me hide a lot of the clutter of building text strings on the code page itself, inside the express VI.
    Two questions:
    1) Why does the build text express VI require a single variable before 'Result' will contain text typed into the 'Text with Variables in Percents' field. If no variable is listed the result is always null.
    2) Is using many copies of this express VI a waste of memory or is it decent sized or possibly doesn't matter at all... I have just started using it so have no idea how well it works as far as adding bulk to the program.

    The express vi is a vi. Yes it will take more memory to use the build text vi that using the format into string function. The express vi if you right click on it and open front panel you will see what code is involved. A good example is to go and look at the vi metrics with a build text express vi and you will see that there are 42 different nodes in one express vi. If you put a format into string function you will see using vi metrics only 1 node. Another drawback is that the build text will only allow you to have 8 input variables. It is a easy tool to use but can be bulky if used improperly. Hope this helps.

  • Why can't i send group texts with iphone 4s?

    I've had my new iphone 4s for a few days and love it, but it won't let me send texts to more than one person at a time.  I can send individual texts just fine.  It will let me add the recipients and compose it but when i send, the send progress bar gets almost to the end and then stalls for about 1 min, then i get the red exclamation point and the option to retry which i do but it never works.  the group message option is set to ON but still it doesn't work.  Anyone else having this problem?

    Experiencing the same exact problem. Progress bar stops and red exclamation pops up. Have u figured anything out?

  • Static text as mask doesn't work

    I'm creating a button that uses static text as both content
    and as a
    mask (to create an inner shadow effect). The static text is
    in a
    symbol. It looks perfect in the IDE, but when I test the
    movie or
    publish it, the mask doesn't work. I originally had the text
    in a
    graphic symbol and that caused the mask to be completely
    ignored. I
    changed the symbol to a MovieClip, and that behaves
    differently. The
    mask is no longer ignored, but now the mask layer itself
    appears and
    covers up the other layers.
    I've googled for this problem and have seen many comments
    about it. The
    typical solutions seem to be to convert the text to a symbol
    (already
    done) and use static text (already done). Yet it still
    doesn't work.
    I'm using Flash MX 2004.
    Please help. Thanks.

    apply it with actionscript,
    make your text a movieclip and give it a name like "textClip"
    then
    make your mask a movieclip and give it an instance name like
    "textMask" and use this code
    textClip.setMask(textMask);
    to disable the mask with actionscript use:
    textClip.setMask(null);
    good luck!

  • Printing PDDoc with AFExecuteThisScript() doesn't work after an upgrade from SDK 5 to SDK8

    Hello,
    I have made an upgrade of my plug-in which was developed with the Acrobat 5 SDK. I upgrade it to Acrobat 8 SDK and my print function doesn't work anymore.
    Actually I print my document using a javascript trusted function instead the function provided by the C++ library for internal reason.
    Here below is the code used to print my document :
    char szJavaPrint[6000];
    sprintf(szJavaPrint,
    "pp = this.getPrintParams(); \r\n"
    // fill pp with parameters
    "pp.interactive = pp.constants.interactionLevel.silent; \r\n"
    "\r\n"
    "this.trustedPrint(this, pp);"
    PDDoc pdDoc = AVDocGetPDDoc(avDoc);
    AFExecuteThisScript(pdDoc, szJavaPrint, NULL);
    It was working with the Acrobat 5 SDK but the print seems to have no effect using the Acrobat 8 SDK. I know that there is a change between Acrobat 5 and 8 concerning the Character Set (currently I set the Character Set to "Not Set" in the Configuration Properties of the project) but I don't think that my problem comes from the Character Set.
    All ideas to resolve this problem are welcome.
    Kind regards,
    Joe

    See what happens if you remove the "setting of interactive to silent"...
    There is a restriction on silent printing in Acrobat, but I would not have expected that to be passed into this method - but it could have been overlooked and be a bug.
    Also, I don't recall a trustedPrint() method in Acrobat JS - check the documentation for the correct name of this function...
