IOS to Android. Now I can't group message.

Hi, so I upgraded from an iPhone4 to a Note 3 and now I can't recieve group messages. At first I couldn't recieve texts at all; but then I got on my old iPhone turned off iMessage and reset my apple account password. Now I can recieve personal messages but not group messages. What's even more strange is that when my firends send me a personal text it still sends as an iMessage (blue bubble). It should be sending as a normal text (green bubble) right? I honetly don't have a clue as to what I can do from here and it ***** because group messaging is one of the main things I do on my phone. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Oh, and my carrier is AT&T if that makes a difference.

It's actually an issue that the iPhone users have to troubleshoot. I switched from iPhone 4S to a Note 3 and had the same problem with group messaging. The final solution turned out to be more simple than I thought. The iPhone users had to go to SETTINGS and turn on SEND AS SMS. Also, GROUP MESSAGING and MMS MESSAGING need to be turned on. This solved the problem. No more issues group messaging with iPhone users.
*Not sure if this makes a difference but your contact should probably be updated in everyone's address books. If you've been saved under IPHONE, they should change it to MOBILE.

  • I upgraded to IOS 7 and now I can't get my Hotmail account on my phone.  When I type in all the information, I get "Unable to Verify Account Information".  How do I get to use my Hotmail account using this software????

    I have had the same problem as yours on my Ipad after upgraded Procreate 2.01. My iOS is 7.04. I tried to find solution from internet for weeks. Fortunately, the problem was resolved a few minutes ago. It is very simple,
    1. Lunch outlook.com to confirm you can access hotmail mailbox. It means your account is Ok.
    2. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars.Delete your hotmail account from your device.(my device is Ipad)
    3. Turn off your device, then turn on again.
    4. Go to setting>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and create your hotmail account by tap outlook.com. Be sure the incoming mail server is pop3.live.com.
    5. Waiting for validation.
    That's all. Hope my experience is helpful. Good luck!

  • I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list.

    I have a 3rd generation iPod Touch and just did the update to IOS 5. Now I can't connect to my Netgear wifi router. My iPhone connects fine along with all of my other laptops etc. I have the router set with WPA-PSK [TKIP] security and an access list. I've confirmed the mac address is included on that list and that the password is correct. Under choses netwrok I select the network and it just goes into a spin. I have tried removing the password and the access list settings and it still will not complete the connection to the router thus no internet access. The routers firmware is also up to date. This thing worked fine before this update and I've already tried to restore from backup. Any ideas or is the wifi nic bad in this thing with the new apple firmware update? Any fix?

    Thanks Bob, I don't know why but it all of a sudden worked a few days later. It's a mystery but at least problem solved.

    My iPhone 3GS is getting the same error. I've called Apple a bunch of times, and they won't get back to me. I'm searching through discussions to figure out a solution.

    Only the carrier it is locked to can authorize unlocking it. Sounds like the phone was hacked to unlock it originally. Find out what carrier it is locked to, and look up their contact information using google or the search engine of your choice.

  • HT1766 Recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off".

    I recently updated my iPhone 4s to the iOS 6. Now I can not install application updates, my music library has vanished, iTunes Match (in Settings) keeps setting itself to "Off". I have also logged off of iTunes in Settings, and it will not let me log back in. Just a few moments ago when I again tried to log into iTunes, it asked me for my Password, then replyed that I had no Match account; but I do. Is Restore the best option?
    Any suggestions

    I couldn't find the edit button on my original post so I am posting an update here.
    I have gone through more apps and have had good luck on all but one more.  And it's not that the app doesn't work, I am talking about the Yahoo Weather app, It works fine, but when you swipe between cities the screen lags a bit and it sometimes doesn't move between pages the way it should.  On iOS 7.1.2 it was smooth as butter but on iOS 8.0, not so much.  I will post a note in the app store to let them know.  I really like the Yahoo app better than the new stock app.
    I have been going through my games and they all work fine. Angry Birds (Original and Stella), Canabalt, Minecraft, Bejeweled 2, Silly Walks, PopWords, Doodle Jump, Deep Green all seem to work just fine. 
    Starbucks app works as it should. 
    I will stop back again next week after I have had the weekend to play with it in detail and post my thoughts again.

  • I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

    I've updated my iphone 3gs from iOS 5 to iOS 6 and now I can't access the internet on 3g, can anybody help??

    I don't follow your instructions... mine goes Settings->General->Cellular and from there it's just on/off options for Cellular Data, Enable 3G, Data Roaming, etc. Or I could go Settings->General->Profile APN Carrier Settings but when I click that it just shows as verified but no Visual Voice APN or MMS Settings. If I click More Details it goes to Signing Certificate which has a bunch of parameters for unlockit.co.nz but I am unable to change anything.
    I just updated my iphone 3GS to IOS 6 and my internet (wifi and 3G), voice and text all work, but the only thing I can't do is send/receive pictures via text message. I am using At&t prepaid sim. I tried turning off the phone completely but I'm trying to avoid a complete restore.. at least until I can understand the problem better! Any help would be appreciated!
    Thank you!

    That would be a Facebook issue.
    You could try this: On your old iPhone log out of Facebook and see if that works.

  • Loaded iOS 8.3 now I can't log into iMessage or Facetime, how do I fix this?

    Loaded iOS 8.3 now I can't log into iMessage or Facetime, how do I fix this?

    I am having this issue on my IPAD running 8.3.  Can't log in to facetime or iMessage. Cannot turn the apps off and back on (per online suggestion).
    I assume Apple has decided that NO ONE should be able to turn these apps off.
    Does anyone know whether Apple has acknowledged the issue or is doing anything to resolve it?

    Iphone 4 I updated to iOS 7 and now I can't download no apps? What do I do to fix this problem?

    If you'll take a look around, almost every 5-10 minutes someone is posting on this subject. I'm personally having the same problem. Everyone (including seniors) is saying that it's just a waiting game. The servers are overloaded, and it because there are millions of people just like us, trying to do the same thing we're doing right now.
    Rest easy....I'm coming to terms with it myself. No sense in freaking out. We're either fudged, or not fudged.

  • TS3899 I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 6 and now I can't get my work e-mail anymore.  I've tried deleting the account and re-adding, per other forum suggestions, and still no luck.  Also, there is no longer an "Advanced" section to enter information.

    Help!  I upgraded my iphone 4 to ios 6 and now one of my two emai accounts - my work account - no longer receives/sends emails.  I checked my e-mail settings and they were correct.  I then deleted the account and tried to re-add it, per discussions in other forums, and it won't verify the account.  In addi tion, there was previously an Advanced section in the e-mail account setting, and now there isn't - don't know if that is part of the probem and the phone needs additional information that it's not asking for anymore . . . I'm beyond frustated.  Many hours of lost productivity.  Any suggestions?  Can I got back to the previous version?  I was thinking of buying new phone in next few months, but if this is resolved I'm leaving Apple.

    I do backup with iCloud.  I can't wait until the new iMac is available so that I can once again have my files in more than 1 location without needing to rely solely on the cloud. 
    I also rely on iTunes and my MacBook and Time Machine as well as backing up to iCloud. I know many users know have gone totally PC free, but I chose to use iCloud merely as my third backup.
    I assume that the restore would result in my ability to open Pages and Numbers and fix the problem with deleting apps, but this would also mean that if my Numbers documents still exist solely within the app and are just not on iCloud for some reason that they would be gone forever.  Is that right?
    In a word, yes. In a little more detail.... When you restore from an iCloud backup, you must erase the device and start all over again. There is no other way to access the backup in iCloud without erasing the device. Consequently, you are starting all over again. Therefore, it would also be my assumption that Pages and Numbers will work again and that the deleting apps issues would be fixed as well.
    If the documents are not in the backup, and you do not have a backup elsewhere, the documents could be gone forever.

  • I have just updated my iphone 4 to the new ios 6.1, now I can not sync my music to my phone via my iTunes. Before I done the update I was able to put the songs on my phone via iTunes, can anyone please help as i really need to put the songs on my phone.

    Hi everyone, I need some help big time. I was currently running the IOS 6.0.1 on my iphone 4 and I could sync and transfer music to my phone via my iTunes account. But I updated my phone to the new IOS 6.1 and now I can not transfer music onto my iphone, all it does is tries to sync the songs but it doesn't. I have uninstalled and reinstalled iTunes back onto my laptop yet it still does not work. Can anyone please help me.

    Everything is Sorted!
    The release of iTunes 11.0.2 and iOS 6.1.2 for my iPhone 4, seems to have sorted everything. I can now sync music, films and photos between my MacBook and my phone.
    I was dubious about blindly doing the updates but decided they couldn't really mess up any further functionality so I went for it and it's sorted now.
    Look in to, and take the gamble, it's up to you.
