How do I fix a problem group messaging with one non-iphone user and several iphone users?

My brother switched from an iphone to another smart phone several months ago. The rest of our family all have iphones. When he made the switch, my sister suddenly had problems with group messages going through for him--they went through as imessages for her instead of SMS or MMS. I didn't have that problem until a few days ago. I upgraded to an iphone 6 about a week ago, and group messaging my brother worked fine at first, and then a couple of days ago, suddenly stopped working. If I am texting him singly, it's fine. But in group texts, it automatically sets at imessage.
He has called apple and his number is completely deregistered with imessage. Does anyone know what else we can try? I have deleted all previous messages that were imessage and deleted and re-entered him as a contact.

I'm assuming neither of you heard back from anyone? I'm having the same issue - just in the last few days. The non-iphone user is not receiving texts from the group message because it is sending as an imessage. It flipped to imessage randomly last week. I've tried to delete the group message and restart it; same issue. Would love to hear how to resolve, Apple!

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.

TS3510 how do you use your apple ID email with facetime on your laptop and your iphone?

I am trying to set up my Facetime on my laptop and it's telling me that my email is already being used (from my iphone facetime). Can you use your Apple ID email AND iphone accounts in for both FaceTimes?

That's normal. Just enter your password. You won't be able to change the Apple ID that appears there. After you sign out, and sign in with the new Apple ID, it will take the place of the old one.
If you changed your Apple ID password, enter the new password.
There are many iCloud services, and you might be confronted with the old Apple ID as you use them. You might have to sign out of each one individually, and sign in under your revised Apple ID.
I agree it's confusing. It's even more confusing if you created more than one Apple ID. That's a different circumstance from changing an Apple ID. I hope you didn't do that.

Check Finderr->Preferences->General and ensure that HDs are selected for display. If so and they still don't, Reset the NVRAM/PRAM and Reset the SMC, and see if that does the trick.

I go to my settings and i change something and then i hit the home button and it wont let me go home. So i then try to turn my screen of and turn it back on to see if that will help. It will not shut off either. How do i fix this problem?

I have a problem! I go to my settings to change something and then i hit the home button to go home and it will not let me. So I hit the button on the top to turn it off to see if i can make it anybetter. My screen will not turn off! I tried to shut it off and it wont let me do that either. So now i am stuck in my iPod settings until my iPod dies. How do i fix this problem?

A reset may help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off buttons for approximately 15-20 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo appears, release both buttons.

Double click the home button and swipe the mini Pandora up to make sure it's closed. If it still keeps playing randomly delete and reinstall the Pandora app.

Is this a pre-paid card thing? Or different billing address than your iTS account?

I'm getting an error message when I try the click on a link in an email. No associated application could be found. How do I fix this problem?

Is this a one-off or a general problem? If a one-off, is it a link to a web page or something else? If not a web page, try control-clicking on it and choosing to download the linked file. This will at least access the file though it might be to something you don't have an application to open with. If you do this, what sort of file do you get? - select it and hit command-i to get information on it.
