Group texts are green should be blue...

The last week or so, group texts to iPhones that I have been group texting for years are now green---OR some won't even go through! What is going on? Am I being charged for texts that SHOULD be blue?!
I rebooted my phone, backed it up etc. By themselves, they are blue and work, but grouped...they are green--
Whats gives Apple?

That doesn't seem to be the issue, I work at Cornell University, I can tell you our wifi is excellent here. And this is the same service I always use, I guess unless my carrier made some change, but I know others are having this issue as well. Thank you for your response!

IOS 8 updated, now my group texts are green!

Can someone please help me. I have updated to the new iOS 8 and now it seems that a few of my most used group texts are now green and not blue any more. Is there something in the settings that I might need to change

Hey toridryden,
Thanks for the question. A green message bubble indicates that your message is being sent as SMS instead of iMessage. This may be caused by a contact included in the group message that is not using iMessage (non-iPhone user). For more help on messages, check out the following resources:

I just got the new Iphone 5 and when I send a message in a group text it keeps sending it as an email and as my phone number. The people in the group text are complaining that it is creating a new group message everytime I text. How do I fix this?

It's sending my messages as a text message when I'm texting another iPhone. How can I fix that? The messages are green and not blue. This just starting during half my conversation.

I was texting another iPhone when right it the middle of my conversation, it turned from blue to green. Now its sending all my messages as text messages and not iMessages. How can I fix this?

It could be that your signal dropped to GSM which is why it sent as a normal text. You need wi-fi, 3G or HSPDA to send as an iMessage. As does the receiver

How to create a muli line text area using JavaFx

Hi all,
Since the preview SDK does not contain TextArea any more, I am wondering how to create a muli line text area using JavaFX. The behaviour of this text area/field should be somehow similar to JTextArea in Swing or StyledTextWidget in SWT.
Does JavaFX have any support for this? What would be a sensible approach to create such a widget?
Thanks for your suggestions,
br michael

This is a pretty old thread (I know I came across this while searching for something similar recently), but I figured I'd throw this out there in case other people might find this useful. As I write this, JavaFX's latest version is 1.3... which may have added the needed functionality since the last post.
You can now create a multi-line text area using a TextBox and by specifying the nubmer of lines and setting the "multiline" value to true. It may not offer all of the same functionality as JTextArea, but it did the job for what I needed... newlines by pressing enter, scrollbar if text surpasses height, etc.
Here's a simple example:
Group {
   content: [
      TextBox {
         text: "This is a multi-line textbox"
         lines: 10 // <-- this may/may not be necessary depending on your situation. Default is 5.
         multiline: true

Group text sends iMessage to android phone

Hi there,
So I'm having an issue where essentially my phone refuses to send SMS messages, but rather iMessage in a group text where one of the members is using an android phone. It should be noted that when I am sending him a text individually, it correctly sends SMS messages. Other people's iPhones in the group text are able to properly switch to SMS while sending the text but not mine for some reason. While I can properly send SMS messages by turning off iMessage to send it, it's a PITA to do it every time just for the group text and then I also have to set up handoff for my mac again.

Passing values to the TEXT AREA in .HTML page.

Hi,
I have data in internal table and in context node in custom CRM component.
I want to display this data in the textarea field. Is it possible to display this data in the text area? Should we use JAVASCRIPT for this one?
Can anyone please give me the smaple code for passing the values to the text area?
Please help me.
Regards,

Hi Pushpa,
You can set the internal table values to the text area field using SET_PROPERTY method .
Check for the context node in which that text field is there ,then get that context nodes current entity .Next set required values to that text area field.

Increase text area width by typing text in it

Hi all,
I am using a text area i have set its wordwrap property false and horozontal and vertical policy off..What i want is to increase the width or height of text area depending upon the text i am writing
if the text is going to increase more than the width of text area the width of text area should adjust itself according to that..
Take a look to the below example
text area text:-
"this is text example"
text area width:-100
now as the word wrap property is off the text will come upto this for width of 100px:-
"this is text"
The moment i press the next character to type..the text area width should increase according to that ..the width should increase side by side
Is there any event for this via which i can get this done
Thanks

I extended TextArea and it works well as a standalone component, but it might not work so well if you use it as an itemRenderer, like in a DataGrid.
I created a Flex Cookbook post on the topic:

Under the settings messages SMS/MMS there is no option to turn on/off group chats. As a result I don't get any group texts. Help!

Group chat so I don't get any group texts.

The setting to turn that on or off does not affect your receiving group texts. Are these group texts from a non-iDevice? Do you have MMS turned on? Many group texts are turned into MMS by some carriers.

Group Texts on a Q10

Group Texts are a lot harder for me to send on the Q10, compared to the Bold 9900. Which makes me think I am doing something wrong somewhere.
Is there a help video on line?
On the 9900, you could send a group text from within the Text Message area & you would send to the name of the group you have set up. But on the Q10, the only way I can send a group text, is via Contacts area, & instead of the 'Group' name, it is a list of all the moile numbers. This leaves very little space on the screen to see what you actually type on your text message.
Don't get me wrong, it is better than having no groups, but it appears a little user un-friendly, or is it just me..........

if you found another way please tell me cause it is very slow otherwise and inpracticle

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.

Responding to group texts?

my mom sometimes sends me an image of something and it shows up as going to some number (sometimes i don't know who this is since they are not in my contacts) and "3 others.
then when i respond i get some email from someone asking me some question because - well, - ah, because responding to the group text went to everyone in the group?!
can anyone tell me what is going on here or if i can send the text to the SENDER in some way? part of the problem is that when i get the text it does not show up as coming from my MOM and instead shows up as coming from the group somehow.
i mean, i can't quite figure out what is happening but i know i get a text from someone that is like "huh? it is snowing in alabama" and then i also get a reply from my mom in chicago...

thanks! i am an idiot with this stuff and i only get a chance to try and figure it out once in a long while.
I guess this is a "Group MMS"?
so - i see here that the text today (the image) just shows up as a new "Messages" and that it is the only message showing under this number. the message is listed with a little mac group icon and then a number +1 (XXX) XXX-XXX, and then a tiny little bit of text that is the first two letters of my moms last name.
and then i click on it and "To;" it shows the number (it is my cousing in california i guess) and then it says 2 more. and i see the image and then - well now i see a really tiny little bit of text over the image that shows my moms full name.
when i reply, i get a response from my cousin in california whose cell number is apparently not in my contacts and i also get a reply from my mom and both come up as separate threads. with my cousins number coming up with a long list of texts that i have had with her in the past due to this same deal and then my moms response comes up under /her/ list of texts.
but the group text shows as being a group but coming from my cousins number.
not sure how to answer your question but i guess you are asking if me and my mom are logging into apple with the same id? she is actually not even on a mac so her texts are not coming from a iphone in any case.
any ideas? it is really bizarre and sort of weird. maybe group texts are just not formatted or displayed well so i am not getting the important information up from in group Messages?
THANKS

Messages green instead of blue.

Since installing Yosemite my messages are green instead of blue. Same recipient on an iPhone, same message thread, but now they are green, they used to be blue.
Not a big deal, just curious what happened.

HT201401 When I am having a text conversation some times my bubbles are blue and sometimes they are green-why is that

When I am having a text conversation sometimes my bubbles are blue and sometimes they are green -why is that

blue colored bubbles are imessages(ios device to ios device), uses data
green colored are SMS's(charged by carrier, if you have free SMS's, it should be free too)

Text messaging some are green and some are blue does that reference that they have orhave not been received

Some of my text messages are green and some are blue,does that reference some delivered some not. Why is there a difference in color. Some of my texts seem to not go through

Blue = iMessage...
Green = Text message... SMS
