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.

Issues with iPhone and Android connecting to Lync 2010?

Our environment currently consists of a single Lync 2010 instance, which is currently performing all roles. The current challenge I'm running into is connectivity to iOS and Android devices not wanting to cooperate. Currently, Lync is using a certificate
issued by a local CA. The CA root certificate has been imported to the devices that are having trouble connecting, and I've done this via email import without success, as well as using the iPhone Configuration Utility. In all tested instances, an error that
"the certificate can't be verified" is displayed that prohibits a user from establishing a connection. All domain workstations and remote users that import the root CA have no issues connecting.
I can't seem to figure out what's going on here. Has anyone run into this? This is a quasi-test environment in my lab that I'm testing with a few other people, and as much as we've tried, can't seem to figure out the issue. Any ideas?

To confirm that the certificate has been installed successful do you have a corporate website that is available externally that uses a certificate issued by the CA in question? If the answer is yes I would browse to that site on the phone and see if you
get an error. The Lync mobile clients don't give you a heck of a lot of information for troubleshooting. This will rule out a certificate issue.
Next thing would be your reverse proxy. Are you using ISA server? Test the reverse proxy rule by browsing to the Lync mobile auto discover URL - https://lyncwebexternal.domain.com/Autodiscover/AutodiscoverService.svc/root
Assuming ISA also make sure the rule is configure correctly -

http://blogs.technet.com/b/nexthop/archive/2012/11/19/configuring-reverse-proxy-for-lync-server-2010-mobility.aspx
Let me know what the results are of those tests.

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?

What laptops are compatible with iPhone and Android?

I am looking to buy a laptop and want to be able to transfer everything from my phone over to it. I was told that I cannot do this with a chromebook. I want something that I can use for an android phone as well.

Thank you! I was looking into a hp that runs on windows 8, but was unsure.

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.

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.

I am currently an iPhone user, and I am planning to upgrade to a galaxy s5. Will I still be able to group message with iPhone users even thought I have a galaxy

I am currently an iPhone user, and I am planning to upgrade to a galaxy s5. Will I still be able to group message with iPhone users even thought I have a galaxy

Hi
Yes you should be able too, this depends on the features on the phone but i would imagine something as new as the s5 would have this feature. However this would obviously be over standard sms rather than imessage.
Hope this helps

Do i use Air or Flex for iPhone and Android app development

Hi guys, whats the main difference between the 2 and does Air or Flex have everything Xcode does for iPhone/iPad development
I'm hearing that Flex has Android and SDK for iPhone, if this is the case why learn Xcode ?
Thanks

Titanium is good for iOS, but apparently not so good for Android. Moreover, it's not so cheap!
When one chooses a platform, one should also take into consideration the history and stability of the company which offers it.
That is why I would not go to Appcelerator: who knows what's behind the corner?
Sure, it is ironic that I say this after Adobe - a big company - has abandonded Flex...
Some alternatives:
- AMPChroma (Horrible name, but it has a solid company selling it: Antenna Software). This thing has the advantage that the content is not either native or web: the same content can be packaged for a web site AND for an app
     Pro's: Many big players are using it
     Con's: price list not very clear
- Adobe Edge "Preview" + Adobe PhoneGap <--- Adobe says: you create animation for the web, you package it for an app. Not many people have tried it. But apparently it will work.
     Pro's: apparently, Edge is Adobe's instrument to finally go to HTML5.
     Con's: Edge "showcase" performs BADLY and SLOWLY in an iPhone (go think of a Samsung Mini)
- Adobe Flash professional CS6 + Create JS <--- you create animations in Flash, then you export to HTML5 and js for browsers which don't have flash. You can also package with AIR for iOS and Droid.
     Pro's: Flash professional is easy, Action Script is powerful. You can have BOTH the power of Flash and the portability of html5/JS.
     Con's: for how long will Adobe support this Create JS hack? When will Adobe say "OK, now you've done enough automatic porting to JS, from next release on you move to Edge, or to - wait for it - a version of Flash which uses Javascript instead than ActionScript?"
Me, I don't know what to do. I am keen on FlashBuilder/Flex because it's fast to build. Apps are really compatible both with iOS and Android. It has Salesforce.com connectivity. It's cool.
However, there are two problems that get me stuck from continuing with FlashBuilder:
- OK for native apps but... how do I use the Flash Builder/Flex content for the mobile WEB? Flash Builder does not have the CreateJS capability. I do a cool interface and I cannot reuse it on the mobile web if not with apps?
- OK for HTML5 but... it's NOT as good as Flash now. Have you ever seen a Phonegap application with graphics? They're embarassing. Slow, imprecise. And non-compiled Edge stuff is not much better. Is it? any good example.
Bottom line: at the moment, HTML5 support does not seem good. On the other hand, Flex is NOT compatible with mobile web. What IS performing and promises to be compatible with mobile web in addition to native apps?
Flash Professional CS6.
Again.
I am happy if some-one belies me with good arguments.

If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of Single edition apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?

I work for a organisation based in Sydney and we have a team license for creative cloud (single edition).
We have been producing single folio apps for the iPad and want to continue this through 2015.
At the moment we can only create apps for the iPad platform. If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of Single edition apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?
We do not need multi-folio apps as we are not a publishing company.

Thanks Neil
I sent an email yesterday and am awaiting a reply. Here is my email for reference.

I work for a large organisation based in Sydney and we have a team license for creative cloud (single edition).
We have been producing single folio apps for the iPad through Indesign and the App builder. We now want to produce apps for iPhone, iPad and Android devices.
If we upgrade to a Professional Edition DPS license can we create an unlimited number of apps for iPad, iPhone and Android devices?
We are not a publishing company so we will produce a small number of the apps. If you could get back to me with a solution and approx price that would be great.
Thanks for your time

Goodbye Flash: YouTube mobile goes HTML5 on iPhone and Android

Greetings, Im looking for a better understanding to what this Flash war is about. and I would likreto hear from the Adobe side of designer.
Goodbye Flash: YouTube mobile goes HTML5 on iPhone and Android
How true is this, and what will become of designing Flash websites?
I finaly was able to upgrade to an entire Suite of Adobe products including Flash with the intention of doing some Flash work, but now the client is not wanting ANY flash work because it wont work on a phone!
What about all the Flash website alredy up and running? Will new sites have to be created just for the F*ing iphone?
Watching Avatar on the back of a airline seats to cracker sized phone screens. seriously, what is the point.
.. I know, it's a bit of a rant.

Marek,
Welcome to the forum.
Do you happen to have the usable specs. for these devices? I would assume that the manual, or maybe a product Web site would have such. That will help us determine the best settings to use.
Good luck,

What are the SIMILARITIES between iPhones and Android phones?

I'm writing a compare and contrast essay on iPhone and Android products, but I'm having some trouble finding the similarities. I've Google-ed the crap out of this subject, and Google (for whatever reason) thinks the word "similarity" means "difference." I found about 2 small articles that slightly hint at some similarities, but nothing that allows me to draw a conclusion and write the other half of my essay. Can someone please help?

DPS App capability for Iphone and Android?

Hi there. I'm aware this question may have been asked in a number of different guises. But it's been a while, and I'm hoping the likes of Bob Levine or Bob Bringhurst can provide some fresh insight for all us DPS supporters.
My company is a DPS professional edition subscriber, and we are also Creative Cloud subscribers. We'd love to produce Single edition publications (Apps, essentially) for Iphone and Android phones. Is there any chance that this will become a deployment feature for DPS?
Thanks guys!

Hopefully, support for single-folio iPhone apps is on the near horizon. With our clients, it's the most commonly requested feature & having to use other vendors is currently our only option.
Thanks for the reply Bob!

Digital Publishing for iPhone and Android tablets

I am an Adobe CC member and could successfully publish an Apple iPad App in the App Store. Now I would like to publish also for iPhone and Android tablets. I think this is not possible alone with the Adobe CC. Do I need for that the Professional Edition?
Ueli Mattenberger, VMA Media AG (Switzerland)

Hi Bob,
... so there is nothing on the horrizon, nothing in the forseeable future concerning a single edition iPhone or Android app?
best,
Yngvi
ps. when Adobe fixed their “go to“ “nav to“ bug, we got in to the App Store. Yea!
If it isn´t inappropriate, here is a link to the app. It´s called the Reykjavik Shopping Gude.
Some thoughts? We value your oppinion.
