About a week ago my group messages not working. I called straight talk and the person said they don't support it. I had it for a yr and now it stopped wtf???
Anyone else?
I tried hangouts and the stock SMS app still nothing the message won't download.

I use group text with straight talk all the time. However, its MMS, there is no such thing as group SMS. I would check your MMS settings, they changed the APN recently.

I have the latest settings and the mms wont dl... mind if you share your settings?
Im straight talk ATT, are you ATT or TMobile?
I have the same issue on my LG G2. I have Straight Talk AT&T. I am able to send group text messages and pictures, I can text myself pics, I can send pics and receive in individual messages, but I can't receive group text messages. Funny thing is, I am able to receive group MMS pictures. (WTF?) I have tried this on stock messaging along with Textra and it's still not a go. I also spoke to Straight Talk, but their customer service is like to cadavers about the space-continuum.
I am on one of the latest Cyanogenmod 12.1 nightlies for my device. I tried resetting APN settings, wiping davlik cache, using the latest APN settings from Straight Talk, same issue. The funny thing is I have noticed is that after resetting my APN settings and adding a new APN, after a restart, it defaults back to the TFDATA APN for Straight Talk.
I am going to try my SIM in another phone to see if it works, but I may just have to do a fresh wipe. I will need to post this in the LG G2 support forums as well.

im sure that there might be a thread for this already ..... but ive been lazy and i havent asked sprint about it ... but is the touch capable of mobile to mobile picture messaging .. everytime i wanna send a pic the selctions i get are only able to send to email... i cant select to send to a contact... is it jus cuz i cant figure it out or is the touch incapable of mobile to mobile pix messaging
mms is not yet available on sprint. in the future, you can use the search button located on the top right of this page.
there is, but since you're lazy about it maybe you should try kngtut79's advice and try searching.
you can use dashwire. I am on Bell CDMA in Canada and it allows you to send a sms to your contacts as a link to the picture which is the closest I have come to so far. Hope that helps www.dashwire.com

Verizon MMS requires data usage to send or recieve pictures and video. I am specifically looking for a program to send and recieve MMS messages without using data. The program linked above, called sMMS, does it without using data.

This will not work for you then, it still uses data, and you need the Sprint Picture Messaging, which is of course not available for VZW users.
Verizon charges you for a MMS like it's a SMS. If not it's $0.20/msg, the package for, I believe, 250 SMS is $5/mo.

I have unlimited texting, but was told that smartphones on Verizon don't use MMS, instead they use data somehow.

I`ve been trying for a couple weeks now to get MMS working on my Touch. I got a thread going but no luck in fixing it. I came across this today though http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35616. I called Alltel after I changed the setting, but the MMS network happened to be down at the time, so I don`t know if the setting work since nobody could send any at the time. The representative talked to the advance service tech and googled it as well, but neither could figure it out. I`m gonna call back tonight ( they said the network should be up by then) on a different phone to see if they can diagnose it. It kinda sounds like a problem with flashing roms. I know it worked for me before I started flashing, but it also happens even when you flash to an official alltel rom with a locked phone as in the case with my brother`s touch. When I upgraded his radio his stopped working. Perhaps its a network problem, hell I read that Sprint took it away from there users.
This one has me scratching my head looking for answers. I noticed this problem a while ago where my friends MMS sent from iPhones were not appearing on my Messages, I have the option for "fetch MMS automatically" and all I get is the little cloud but its blank, it only shows the time it was received, I've also tried disabling the fetch MMS automatically and even when downloading them it shows me the blank cloud. The doozy comes when I tried using Hangouts just to see what it was and to my surprise I could see all my SMS and MMS conversations from my contacts and all the pictures from the iPhone contacts were shown via Hangouts but they do not show on the stock Messages app.
Things I've tried:
1) Googling for answers only resulted in fanboyism comments and speculations that led to more fanboyism.
2) At first I tried contacting my carrier and they made me reset the APN settings to default, which I did and it was after that that I realized that it was only the iPhone MMS messages that weren't being received.
3) Tried disabling the Hangouts services via the Apps option on the settings menu. Restarted phone and still wouldn't work.
4) Been restarting my phone with each setting I change to see if it helps but no.
5) Been bugging my friends to send me MMS from their iPhones and one did get through but nothing more after that.
6) Made sure their iPhones had the setting of "Send MMS when iChat isn't available" enabled.
7) Made sure my old iPhone account was signed out of my old iPhone 4 so I wasn't receiving anymore iMessages.
I'm speculating that I either need to call my carrier again which is Claro PR and explain the situation to see if it helps, or maybe go to a store. Also, I've been thinking about Rooting my phone so I can uninstall some of the bloat, which included Hangouts but don't want to go down that path yet and I don't know if it would really help anything since I already tried disabling the service via the Apps options.
Please help me figure this out, I love this phone but this thing is bugging the hell out of me.
I have had problems with mms on hangouts and the stock app on Sprint doesn't support group mms. I have been using Go sms pro and everything works fine, including iPhone mms messages.
Hope that helps.

Hmm... interesting a replacement messaging app, I would definitely keep this in mind so thanks a lot for the suggestion. I rather use the stock apps while I'm getting used to the phone since this is my first Android device but will definitely use this if resetting to factory defaults doesn't help my problem.
*Edit*
Any other suggestions for my problem are welcomed.
LG didn't enable MMS group messaging on stock messages. My HTC One and S4 had the option in settings to enable it...LG left it out. If you haven't heard, TEXTRA is one of the best, fastest, light weight messaging apps that can handle iPhone group messages without the bloat on go sms and handcent. Look it up on the playstore...ratings are great and all my Android friends use it now. I've yet ran into any issues with group texting.

Hi and thanks for the reply, I've looked up Textra and seems like a nice alternative and has a very clean interface, I'm currently using Hangouts from Google without a problem but would have preferred the stock message app. It's weird because I went to my carrier and they did some test and everything was fine, turns out its only MMS sent from iPhones that won't show through the Message app from G2. Maybe I should try emailing them to see if I can get some answers?
Yea only the Verizon variant supports group messages. I posted a thread about this in the Themes and Apps forum. Could be the cause.
All my friends group text me all the time and send MMS using the Verizon version Messaging app and hangouts. The stock messaging app world best though.

For the last 2 weeks, I have suddenly run into this issue.
I have Straight Talk AT&T. I am able to send group text messages and pictures, I can text myself pics, I can send pics and receive in individual messages, but I can't receive group text messages. Funny thing is, I am able to receive group MMS pictures. (WTF?) I have tried this on stock messaging along with Textra and it's still not a go.

The funny thing is I have noticed is that after resetting my APN settings and adding a new APN, after a restart, it defaults back to the TFDATA APN for Straight Talk. I do not have Hangouts installed and I am using Minminguard, but it's not blocking ADs for Textra or my default messaging app.
For my modem, I'm using d800-30f-modem-blastagator-signed.
I am going to try my SIM in another phone to see if it works, but I may just have to do a fresh wipe. Any suggestions before I do so?
Tried my SIM on another phone that's stock and having the same issue. Looks like a possible combination of Straight Talk and/or my SIM might be the culprit.
Can you send SMS massages?
The group that I work with spends a lot of time on conference calls together, and lots of time sending group text messages to each other. We often need to be researching something on our phone at the same time.
We have one guy on Verizon and he won't get any texts until he hangs up his iPhone.
We have another guy on Sprint that will get individual texts during a phone call, but not group texts or picture texts on his iPhone.
I'm on AT&T with an HTC M8 and I'm able to do all three at the same time. So is another AT&T iPhone and a Galaxy S6 in the group.
I think this is a network issue, but I'm not sure.
Can anyone on AT&T confirm that this phone is able to send/receive group text messages while simultaneously using voice and data?
Thanks!

Use WebEx.
I have no idea what WebEx is, nor do I want some cobbled solution. I want a phone that does what I need it to do.
I don't have the phone, but I think I saw somewhere that you can try the phone for free for 30 days and if you don't like it you can return it to ZTE.
Does anyone having problem with sending MMS? I can use data for everything else but can't send/receive MMS. Texts and calls function as normal though. I'm on GSM Ecomobile which is basically T-Mobile. Thanks.

The APN you're using most likely does not have Ecomobile's MMS server address. Get Ecomobile's APN info and create a new APN with that info.

Voice and data at the same time is very different from voice and MMS at the same time. Verizon can do voice/data, but not voice/MMS. Thanks for confirming.

I figured it out. One of my APN protocol was IPv4 instead of IPv6
I've noticed some issues since the update where MMS on both Send/ Receive are "Stuck"
Either the message never sends and times out, or the message shows receiving but it doesn't arrive.
Rebooting the phone seems to trigger the send/ receive

Make sure your APN is right. Usually the default APN the phone generates is good but might not be the same as what ATT recommends

Thanks. Im reading aATT Nextgenphone which is what ive always used.
I saw something about the UK needing an MMS update for similar issues.
Is the person that's sending a MMS sending from a Samsung phone? I heard it's because of the advance messaging setting in the SMS app that Samsung uses. They'll have to turn it off apparently. I haven't tested it but I started researching this issue today because I'm not getting all of my texts in a group chat. I've noticed 2 numbers has a Samsung device

Interesting. I think they were Samsung's. Although I sent one yesterday and it went through as expected.
It seems inconsistent
Exact same issue started happening to me after the December update. I"m on AT&T as well. APN is correct, tried deleting unused APN's still no good. I can't even send a photo/mms to myself unless I toggle Airplane mode or reboot the phone.
I can confirm turning off advanced messaging in a Samsung messaging app works. My girlfriend has a Samsung s7 active, I turned that **** off because we're in a group text and I never got her message. It always shows a download failed. Today, I did a group text again and now I receive her messages. Damn you Samsung ... Or is it Google , either way that's the only solution I can think of.
It happens when I receive mms messages from iphone's as well.
