MMS Group MMS Corruption: members dropped in replies, Phone numbers changed, New Groups started
Two phones on our TMobile plans experiencing this issue. Group MMS threads keep getting corrupted. When receiving messages, all group members are present, but replying in that group message, messages is randomly leaving out people, and a NEW message thread is created, with one or more recipients removed. This happens on both the sender's phone and the recipient's phone. Sometimes replying to the new corrupted thread is not possible, even though messages come in to that corrupted thread. You have to hunt for the right message thread to reply to. Sometimes Phone numbers are getting corrupted, and digits in the numbers are off. We get a message from a contact, and their number is wrong. We cannot reply to that number, we have to go to the thread with their CORRECT number and reply to that. This is totally frustrating for everyone, as you can imagine. Tried uninstalling Messages, deleting most messages, rebooting, reinstalling messages, etc. The problem disappears then comes back. Samsung phones, with latest updates.
Public access to personal video link?
Hello everyone, a few days ago my mother sent me a large file video. When the video was sent to me, it was sent as a link and not just a video. I am unable to do anything with the video other than view/play it, I can’t even download it. The main issue I am having is that the link says, “Large file available, click to Download/Play. This link will be publicly accessible by anyone for the next 3 days.” I am concerned about the “publicly accessible” part. I would like to point out that she has a Google Pixel and I have an iPhone 14. It was sent through RCS. It was NOT sent as a Google photo link, I tested that out and it looked different then this link. This link says it is a T-Mobile created link and not a Google photo link. Has this happened to anyone? Is the video truly publicly accessible or would someone need to have access to the link technically to view it? Please help!!Accessing SMS with broken iphone screen
Hello, I am facing a frustrating problem. I recently broke my phone to the point where my screen is unusable right now, the phone turns on but half of the screen is black and I can't see notifications on it. I have spoke with apple, because I have an iPhone 13 and they weren't helpful. Does anyone know how I can access my SMS text messages without my iPhone 13? I receive iMessage perfectly and my Apple Watch says its connected to my iPhone but I am not receiving nor can I send SMS to either my watch or MacBook but they are still going through on my phone. If anyone knows any body who could help me access my messages that are just sitting there that would be great thank you!!Messaging failure to non TMobile carrier users.
Hello. My sister, on Verizon, has been having issue's for the past month with her messaging app through her phone as it relates to T-Mobile users. She recently switched to Verizon and set her family up with 4 new iPhone’s. Specifically, the problem is twofold: 1. 1-on-1 text messages: Whenever I (TMobile user) of other TMobile users send her a text message from our phone, she may or may not get the 1st reply, but will never see any response after that. We see her replies throughout. 2. Group MMS messages: Whenever me or another TMobile user is on a group MMS chat that includes my sister, the TMobile users can see and reply to the group chat normally, as can opthers on the chat. My sisters' phone’s she has on Verizon does not see anything from either of the TMobile users in the group chat.. She has worked for literally hours with Verizon engineers trying to fix this to no avail. Verizon would like TMobile to check my connection to the network and see if they are seeing any issue with my ability to properly send either individual or group text messages. I did not originally think this to be an issue on my end but several other times over the past few months I have sent individuals text messages that were never received to other people outside of my family. There also seems to be a delay in response from when I send the text message to when my phone shows it as sent; this delay could be up to 30 seconds or so, where normally it would be almost immediate.
currently unable to send your message it will send when service becomes available
Anyone have a Samsung phone who might know how to fix this error? "currently unable to send your message it will send when service becomes available" but I have service, I have strong wifi and full bars of 4g service. Its very frustrating. it pops up the moment I open the built in messenger app I don't even have to try sending anything
Note20 Ultra 5G Groups Texts Messaging issues after recent update
Anyone aware of, or noticing any issues with group texts on their Note 20Us (possibly any other Samsung device?) after the latest software update? I noticed that after the update, any group text chats via Samsung messages, doesn’t keep the conversation in the group thread. In example, a group chat with 2 or more people, messages can be sent in the thread and devices on the receiving end get the message just fine within the thread, however, when anyone from that thread responds, instead of getting the message within that group thread, it comes to my device as separate thread message as if I am speaking with those individuals one on one. This has made things a bit confusing as some of my threads are bigger than 5 people, and when a topic that picks up steam takes off, exceeding 50 messages, I come back to my phone to find all those message cascaded as separate texts from the individuals instead of in an organized flow in the group thread. When I first noticed the issue, I power cycled the phone, booted in to Android System Recovery and cleared my cache. Cleared the cache of the Samsung messaging app, MCM client, and Carrier Hub, apps and still no luck. I ignored the issue for a about a week or so to see if it would resolve itself or if Samsung would maybe provide an app update to the messages app (they usually provide app updates after big OTA updates to their default apps) to resolve the issue, instead, I ended up getting another OTA update to my device, 2 OTAs in less than 3 weeks. The issue however, remained the same. I conducted a test on 2 other phones I have at home by creating a new group chat with them which proved it’s just my device so far. I conducted the test with a few other friends, and they are getting the texts in the thread just fine. I also notice that each time I boot up my device I get these prompts and back to back alerts that may tell a bigger story (see screenshots). I had to be quick in getting the screenshots for these, my dark mode may make the text hard to read. I did recently change my plan from Simple Choice to Magenta MAX so not sure if that plays a part in this but other devices on my plan are not showing these issues. the other devices are all iPhone 12s though. Also to reference, my Note20 Ultra is using it’s built in eSIM. Wondering what else I can do stopping shy of a device wipe. The screenshot that says unstable connection seems wrong because my device shows full bars on 5G although possibly true because my dBm’s are pretty high at around 96 to 100 average. I live in the tallest building in my New York area and I am a level below the top and final floor with very large windows, I don’t use WiFi calling but do connect to WiFi at home for data and my device may occasionally fluctuate back to 4G LTE at any given time.
