MMS texts not working properly since updating to KitKat

I used to be able to send and receive group texts although I would sometimes have to 'download' the group messages, which was a pain but at least I got the messages.  Since updating to KitKat on 5/21/14, I have been unable to receive group texts at all and any pictures are VERY slow in coming to me.  For the group texts, I will receive a notification but can never actually SEE the text no matter which way I go in to see the message.  With pictures, there will be the little (1) - or whatever number of pics I've received - at the bottom of the messaging icon, but the pictures don't show up at all, or they will come through after I turn the phone off and back on...which I don't do every hour of every day.  This is so annoying! 
I have seen other people in the forums having similar problems and they have recommended force stopping the messaging app, clearing the data...blah blah...but that doesn't work.  I did a chat with a Verizon rep earlier today for about an hour and still didn't get a fix to my issue before I had to sign off of the chat due to a meeting.  She had me delete all my text threads (which I wasn't a fan of), and doing the force stop, clear data, clear cache, etc. none of which worked.
This is making me not like my phone right now.

Hi Kevin.  Thank you for your response.  I was using the normal text messaging application, not Hangouts.  I'm having issues with the picture messages no matter where I am at, on Wifi and on mobile data.  The Verizon tech I chatted with yesterday had me try both ways and should be documented in my account if you can access that information. 
I did try downloading a 3rd party app last night (Textra) and picture messages go fine through that app, but I still have the trouble with group messages.  I tried to send a group text to my husband (on an iPhone) and my cousin (on a Samsung) to test things this morning and my cousin received it and my husband didn't.  When my cousin responded it went to a single thread, not the group text. 
I would really like to just use my phone like normal, without having to find a suitable 3rd party app to make things work right with my messaging.

    Music/iTunes Match not working properly since update to iOS 7

    Try a Restart. 
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
     Resetting your settings
    You can also try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered. You won't lose any data, but it takes time to enter all of the settings again.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Apple recommends this only if you are unable to restart it.
    Or if this doesn't work and nobody else on the blog doesn't have a better idea you can contact Apple.

  • Mail not working properly since updating

    Hi, since going from Snow Leopard to Mavericks, Mail has become completely useless for me.
    It doesn't pull all the emails from gmail (as it used to - even my @me account doesn't seem to work properly), nor does it update as soon as emails come in. Not sure what to do anymore - I have already delted and re-added accounts, etc but that has not made any difference. Does anyone know what I can do? Thanks!

    Do a backup.
    Quit Mail.
    Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J.  When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Go to Library/Containers/com.apple.mail.  Move the folder com.apple.mail to your desktop. You must move the entire folder, not just the contents.
    Restart, re-launch Mail and test. If the problem is solved, recreate any required Mail settings and import any emails you want to save from the folder on the desktop. You can then put the folder in the Trash. If the problem remains, return the folder to where you got it replacing the one that is there.

  • FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow.

    FireFox auto updated to 6.0 this weekend and has not worked properly since. I have uninstalled and reinstalled. Made sure all windows componets were up to date and still no joy. Any idea? Windows 7, 64 bit, normal configfuration. It is extreamly slow and never finishes loading ANY page.

    I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
    When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
    At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
    I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

  • My music app on my iphone 5 is not working properly since I downloaded ios7.

    The music app on my iphone 5 is not working properly since I downloaded ios7.
    Sometimes I start to use the music app and then part way though a track it stops. I try to re-start it with no joy. I'm also finding the touch screen is less responsive. Can any help me fix the issue or will I need to take it into the store?

    Removing the SIM has no affect on the power of the phone. It is just the part that facilitates connecting to your carrier. Try holding the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo on the screen and then release the buttons. The phone should reboot. You may need to hold the buttons together for 15-30 seconds.

  • Tecra M5: finger print sensor is not working properly since a drink was spilt into the keyboard

    My finger print sensor is not working properly since a drink was spilt into the keyboard. When booting up, it automatically "fails" 5 times in a row (without any attempts to swipe a finger), then defaults to password entry to boot the machine's hard drive.
    This is not a problem and all i want to do is disable the finger print sensor, but cannot work out how to do this. I've tried uninstalling the driver, which I seemed to do without any problems, but when rebooting, the sensor still seems active, and still goes through the same process.
    Everything else works fine and this is just a minor niggle, but I'd like to remove the annoyance of it beeping at me 5 times while it does its thing!
    Can anyone tell me how I completely disable it?
    Thank you.

    Have you removed the fingerprint software? If yes check if in device manager is listed some unknown device. Please post the result.
    Maybe you can try to disable this unknown device and it will not be recognized as new hardware every time when you start the notebook.

  • Automator not working properly after updating to OS 10.10.2

    Using an iMac 21.5, late 2013

    Happen to me too. Looks like a Bug. Installed 10.9.2 and it turned on Safari in the iCloud Sytem Preferences.
    Thank god I had a backup. And then my wife logged into the same computer and it messed them up again.
    I wish I knew where the iCloud bookmark file was. I've tried goggling it, ut no luck.
    So If at one point in time if you turn it on it uploads the bookmark file somewere in the cloud, then you turn it off then change your bookmarks to something differnet it's OK. Just don't turn it on again.
    Hopefully the bug was on the software update!

  • Applications not working properly after updating t...

    After eventually updating to symbian Anna, I've noticed that some applications are not working properly, notably AccuWeather and Facebook. Uninstalled AccuWeather and re-installed it but still didn't work . Seems pointless releasing a software update and then to discover that applications from Ovi store won't work on your device! With Facebook I can only login in to my account but when I go to view a friend etc, it shuts down. 
    Has anyone any suggestions or solutions to the problem?
    Thanks

    i updated to the latest version 025.007 on my E7 too and a lot of the apps on the store dont work. Just blank screens.
    Somebody do something!!
    I use other devices, and havent faced this problem with any of them after an upgrade!

  • Camera led is not working properly after update

    After updating to IOS 6.0.1 led is not working properly.
    When filming , the led is burning very weak, and when lightsetting is turned to

    Reset your phone first, hold the home and off button down until the apple symbol comes up. If that doesnt do it, then do a restore from your backup in itunes.

  • Problems with swiping, highlighting text, not working properly

    Hello and new to forum as well as new to BB10. I have the Q10 model and really like it alot. However, these swiping techniques or gestures have me puzzled. Sometimes they work, and most times I find myself swiping the hell out of the screeen out of aggravation. Is there any way this can be tested as to working properly since it is a touch activated control?
    I really find myself swiping three times, 5 times or more, just to get to the hub. I cannot close out a screen with one swipe. It will not copy test without repeated taps. The circle pointer is hard to get on. I realize my swiping is a new technique to me, but could it be the protective cover that was put on it? Can anyone help me try to fix this very annoying problem as I am not used to repeated attempts at trying to do something so simple as closing a program or moving to another location tab. I sure would appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hello greg30
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
    Sorry to hear you are having issues with your BlackBerry Q10 smartphone navigational gestures. Please view the follow link as it takes you to a "BlackBerry Q10 Gestures Overview".
    The screen protector is some cases can effect the gesture input on the BlackBerry Q10 smartphone screen. This is simply due to the increased thickness of the scratch resistant liner on the touch screen.
