Nokia 521 group text problem

I have a group of 15 that I need to text on a regular basis. I can send a text to this group if "group text" is turned off. But I want all the responses on the same thread, so I'd like to use group text. Anyone had this problem with the 521 and T-Mobile?

Are you able to send MMS to any single contact ?
Why the question ? ..because when you have enabled 'Group Text' even a Text message may be getting converted in to an MMS. If you have not set up settings for MMS, this may be happening ...

Nokia C3-00 texting problem.

Hello everyone, this is my frist post on here. So i bought the nokia c3 and unlocked it from the vodafone network. I use my 02 sim now. I just discovered something that annoys me and need help getting rid of it.
My problem is that after every text send the phone virbates letting me know that i have sent the text and my balance comes up. how do i change the settings so that this doesn't come up. Really annoying as i've just got a new number and sent out a mass text to everyone. The phone vibrated for like 2 minutes straight!!
Any help greatly appreciated. Thank you.

At the phone store where I bought the Nokia C3 they removed the Vodaphone presets ( since I have another provider ) and they also updated my phone with the latest software available ( see below ).
But now I have a serious texting problem!
If you type the Q you get an A , a=q , z=w and w=z .
Also after you typed something and you delete the text and reopen the textbox again this word will reappear on a blue underscore?? Anyone any idea what's happened or had the same problem??
The phone's update info:
C3-00
V04.45
04-08-10
RM-614
Variant: 00.00
Vitual variant: No Virt. Var.

Nokia E7 sending Text problem

Hi,
I recently purchased a nokia E7. When I first got it it was fine and would send messages to people however now after the 2nd day owning it, it is refusing to send messages to anyone. This is reguardless of network, though I am on the telstra network.
I was wondering if there was a way to solve this problem?
Thanks.

Hello,
I just purchased a new E7-00 because my current three month old E7-00 just stopped sending text messages too. Before I do a hard reset I wanted another back-up phone because this phone is indispensable for my job.
The new phone doesn't have the new mail arrival widget so I need to get that straightened out before I try the hard reset on this three month old phone.
The text message can be changed to a multimedia message and it sends fine. It will not send a text message and I have contacted the carrier and also used other phones with the same sim card with no problem. This can only lead me to believe there is a software glitch somewhere in the system too.
Has anyone had the same problem and come up with a fix other than a hard reset?   I have applications that store information that I will loose as soon as I do the hard reset so I am trying to find a way around that avenue.
Also I am not sure the hard reset will cure the text message sending problem..
Any suggestions?   Thanks in advance!

Nokia Lumia 928 Texting Problem

Just upgraded to the Lumia 928 (white) yesterday. A few hours after getting home with the device I realized I was not receiving text messages. I began to troubleshoot to the best of my knowledge. I can send/receive calls, send/receive picture messages, and send texts. The only thing I can't do is receive texts. I have had two friends both attempt to send me texts multiple times with no luck. I plan to go back to verizon today for their assistance, but was maybe hoping someone else in the forums was having the same issues. Any ideas?
Thanks

Hi there Lloyd,
I had the same problem with my new 928. Doing a complete shutdown and restart fixed the issue for me. I held the middle button on the phone until the shut-down dialog opened, used that to power down and restarted about a minute later. I've had no issues with text since doing that.
Hope this helps you (and that you are having as much fun as I am with the totally awesome phone).
Regards,
Andy.

Nokia N8 group texts changing to mms

My N8 has started to change my texts to mms when I add more than 3 people to the sending list. How do I stop it doing that or how do I change it back?
Thanks in advance.

This may be a service provider issue, I had a problem with Vodafone a while ago with my billing, apparently if you send a txt to several contacts it shows as one large piece of data and they charge you as such, if you send the same message 20 times it just shows as txt usage ! Worth contacting your airtime provider.

Droid Turbo Group Texting Problems??

Just switched my daughter over from an iPhone to the Droid Turbo. She is using the messaging app on the home screen. She is no longer able to receive group messages, be added to groups from the other end, or send to groups in her contact list. Thoughts? Fix? Alternative app suggestions? Would love to fix this before she heads back to school in the next couple of days. Thanks in advance for your help!

Where in settings is group message on/off button??
The 3 button overflow. Everything working fine for me even with this type of reception in NC.
Anyone who knows I am from Hawaii... Yes I am doing field work and Verizon coverage at this connectivity is still better than the other major carriers.

Nokia lumia 610 group msg problem

I tried many time to send msg to multiple receipients but every time getting error, "can't send, try again"
Please help

Hi kishorloveu,
Thanks for posting and welcome.
From your description it sounds like you have Group Texting enabled while not having set up MMS. As you appear to be from India unfortunately at this time the Network Setup app is not available for you meaning that unless your carrier has MMS settings included on your SIM and you initially started your phone with this SIM inserted you can't setup MMS.
Please make sure your have the option Group text in Messaging>...>Settings turned off.

6070 Nokia-group texts how to send them

Hi, have just set up some contact groups and can't figure out how to send a group text. When I have text written, it seems to only give me the option to send to names in contact list and it won't give me the option to go to the groups in the contact list. Could anyone help me with how to do this please. Thanks,
Phone is Nokia 6070

I don't think so. Search for an app in App Store or create a message with all contacts you want and use this to send message to this group of people.

Unable to send Group text from Nokia Lumia 520

Hi Guys,
I am unable to send Group text from lumia 520, even after enabling the Group text option in the messaging settings.
Please help.

I also need to send group msg to about 100 people which was possible in Symbian, but in Lumia group limit is 25 (how ridiculous!)
Now I have made several groups of 25 & send few mgs.
But what I don't like is, group sms are shown in different thread, so when someone replies, his thread doesn't show the group msg so I can't make out to which msg I am getting reply.
Earlier Symbian used to send group msg as individual sms so replies used to show all sms, sent & received. Symbian system was better for me.
Using Nokia Lumia 1320.
Also have Nokia E72 & Nokia N8.

Stratosphere- Problem with Screen Capture and Group Text Reply

I have a problem with the side button that locks/unlocks the phone. I don't know why it happens but sometimes when I press the side button to lock the phone it takes a screen shot and send its to my Gallery under the folder ScreenCapture. I can't figure out why it does this sometimes, and when i want to actually take a screen shot I cant.
Anyone know how exactly you can take a screen shot?
Another question i have is with Group Texts. Is there a way to reply all when I receive a text that was sent to multiple people or can I only reply to the sender?
Hope someone can help thanks!

Hello kfeatherstone! I can provide you with instructions for taking a screenshot:
1. Press both the Power and Home buttons briefly.
2. You should hear a “click” sound and the screen will say “Screen captured. Saved as image file
In regards to your messaging, "reply to all" is not an available option. I hope this information helps!

IChat 6 Mac Lion Group Text Chat Problem

We are running Lion server and iChat video and audio can handle group chat with no problems. We can group text chat if we creat a room first.
But, if you select multiple users in iChat and then press the "A" button, it appears to send a text to the participants, but they never see the text chat.
This worked fine before Lion; and as mentioned, there is no AIM or Googletalk involved (although we do use google apps for our email, etc). We are running the Lion Server iChat with no Federation enabled, so really it should just work.
It seemed to work in Snow Leopard fine. Has anyone else seen this? How is iChat group text chat working for you if you are hosting the iChat server as we are?
Thank you in advance,
Bob

Nokia 822 receving group text from an I phone?

Everyone in my office has an iphone including my boss. When he sends out a group text I do not recive it because I have a Nokia 822 Windows phone. Im affraid he is going to make me switch to an iPhone if i do not resolve the issue. I have already stopped into the Verizon branch where i bought it and they suggest that i make sure he has I messenging turned off. Still Dosnt work. Stopped back in the branch and they informed me that It cannot be done. Does anyone have a Answer to this. Is this True am i going to have to suffer with an Iphone because my boss has one?

What is he using to send group text? If it is a standard group text, you should be able to receive the message. If he is using iMessage, obviously you won't receive it and there is no work around for that.

I cannot send or receive group text messages as well as pictures messages / MMS. What should I do? The settings on Messages was set to receive group texts but it does not solve the problem.

I cannot send or receive group text messages and picture messages / MMS. The settings on Messages are already set to receive group texts but it does not help. What should I do?

Wow, 1yerdua. That's far too long to be having this messaging trouble. We want to find the resolution fast! If you turn off your Lumia's WiFi (Menu > Settings > WiFi), are you still able to access data-oriented applications like Internet Explorer? Have you been to other areas of the state/country and experienced the same trouble?

Can't group text or send/receive picture messages! Please Help!

Hell Everyone,
so I just recently switched from my Iphone back to my blackberry for simplicity/practical reasons...I couldn't deal with the iphone anymore. In doing so, I came across a problem. I am not able to send group texts or send/receive mms. Everytime I try to do so, the text has a red 'X' next to it showing that it didn't go through. I am currently with ATT and have tried calling them to resolve it but no one knows.
here are some of the steps I took to resolve it
1. Resetted to Factory Settings - Did not work
2. Made sure all the settings in my text message options is selected properly - Did not work
3. Deactivated iCloud/iMessage on my previous iPhone - Did not work
4. Called ATT and had them make sure BB Data plan was on my plan, and it was - Did not work
Can someone please help?
Thank you,
Pogos

Hi and Welcome to the Community!
With a strong carrier network signal (e.g., not merely WiFi), I suggest the following steps, in order, even if they seem redundant to what you have already tried (steps 1 and 2 each should result in a message coming to your BB...please wait for that before proceeding to the next step):
1) Register HRT
KB00510 How to register a BlackBerry smartphone with the wireless network
Please wait for one "registration" message to arrive to your Messages app
2) Resend Service Books
KB02830 Send the service books for the BlackBerry Internet Service
Please wait for "Activation" Messages, one per already configured email account, to arrive in your Messages. If you have no already configured email accounts, please wait 1 hour.
3) Reboot
With power ON, remove the back cover and pull out the battery. Wait about a minute then replace the battery and cover. Power up and wait patiently through the long reboot -- ~5 minutes.
See if things have returned to good operation. Like all computing devices, BB's suffer from memory leaks and such...with a hard reboot being the best cure.
Hopefully that will get things going again for you! If not, then you should re-contact your mobile service provider for formal support...be sure to request their dedicated BB support group. MMS is a specific service level that must be properly enabled on BBs in order to function. Often, the first support group you reach will not understand the proper method for configuring this on BB...but their dedicated BB support group will.
Good luck!
