I had created groups within my Google contacts to better organize them. One group I had was "Co-Workers". I later decided to eliminate that group.
I then started noticing that every time I reply to a text from one of the people that was originally in the Co-Workers group, it would send it to EVERYONE that was in the group - about 15 people. However, if I start a new message to that person instead of just replying it only goes to him and no one else.
Is there something else that needs to be cleared such as a cache I'm not aware of? Again, the group was eliminated from within Google. I originally had Handcent and thinking that that may be the problem, I eliminated it and am just using the stock messaging. This is very annoying because I start receiving messages from all of these other people wanting to know what I'm talking about. PLEASE HELP!

Let me preface this by saying that I'm not sure if this is a ROM issue or a general issue so I'm posting in both locations to get more coverage.
I've been running Newt's GPE ROM for a while now with very few problems and am very satisfied. However, today I received what I believe is a group message from several iPhones that my friends own. Only one of the messages actually got through, the rest just show delivery reports and empty messages. I am able to get messages from single iPhones and am also fairly sure I can do group messaging with several other android devices.
I'm using the Google default messaging app, and have allowed group message SMS. Any insight as to what is going on?
I've been having an odd problem lately. When responding to group text messages (which are already handled badly when not everyone has a group-text capable phone), my responses get filed in a separate string with me as an anonymous sender in lieu of the group conversation thread. I am currently running Tweaked 3.5 for a while and this has only recently started happening. Replies to individual text messages still behave as normal, being stored in that message thread. Searching online has proven difficult, since anything with the word 'anonymous' gets tons of junk about spam messages. I'd show a screen shot, but I recently cleared the memory of messages in order to try and troubleshoot the issue.
Hi All,
New to XDA Developers and seeking some assistance. I'm having a lot of problems with MMS, especially when it come to group texting via iMessage. Most of my family and friends are on iOS and when group texts start to fly back and forth quickly problems start to happen:
1. Some texts fail to arrive so I'm "lost" when trying to make sense of the group text
2. Some texts are stuck in "Downloading" mode, only to never get completed
3. Sometimes when attempting to reply I end up replying just to the individual and not the group
Basically group texting is shot useless for me at the moment.
I have tried different apps apart from the native messaging app. Messenger (Google), GoSMS, Google Hangouts - all seem to exhibit the same issues. If anything it's more of an annoyance and at the end of the day I suspect folks are thinking I'm ignoring their messages. SMS seems to work fine, it's just MMS via group texting.
Please let me know if you have any solutions , looking forward to hearing from some of you!

Same Issue
I am having the same issue. You couldn't have explained it better. Did you ever find a solution? I just found this thread.
Same thing - Tap to Download
Hi guys - I have the same problem.
I have tons of group chat MMS's that come in and say "downloading" but never download. After about ten minutes they switch to say "Couldn't download. Tap to download."
The weirdest part is, every day i have dozens of these, there are certain times of the day where they will actually download. It's like the signal strength comes in real good for a certain time of day and I'm able to get them downloaded.
I can provide screenshots if needed.
There has to be a solution to this, or at least a known problem. I've read about this all over the place for years but no one has a concrete solution or reasoning as to why the MMS don't download properly regularly. XDA must know!

For the past week I have had issues trying to send my sister a text message. It has come to my attention that when I sent her a text message it for some reason gets sent to my nephew who participated in a separate text message that consisted of more than one party; In other words a group text message.
I have found LG Mobile on Facebook and informed them of this:
I solved the issue with the text messaging application bug. It is a bug in fact.
When the LG G5 has multiple group text messages with individuals, who you also try to have an individual text message conversation with, the phone will default a newly-created non-group message back to a/or one of the many group text messages that already exists with the person or other persons you're trying or NOT trying to communicate with individually.. I had to delete all group messages with the other party and then the phone stopped sending individual messages to a group message that they previously belonged to. This needs to be reported to your LG or Google development team as soon as possible. I am quite sure other people will have the same issue.
Interesting. I dont send alot of group messages from the G5. I will keep my eye on this.
BTW, while you have them fixing that...tell them to re-add the ability to have individual themes in our stock message app. I like having different backgorunds per contact
Any update on this ?
HAs anyone had the issue where contact names don't show in messaging, only numbers? I've had the phone almost 2 weeks and it's happened several times.

I had this issue and once I opened the contact t from the messaging app they all popped back in. But yes I know exactly what you are saying.

Nope. Mine still crashes now and then. Especially after using the voice to text feature.
Who knows maybe I have a bad LG keyboard system app. I'm going to root my phone soon and consequently have to reflash an entire rooted ROM so hopefully the new rooted ROM will have a better version will see.
UPDATE
My wife and I both updated our G5s to ROM v10d and so far the keyboard crashing has disappeared.
Hello. I'm need of help. My samsung s6 keeps receiving and seems to sending texts to and from certain contacts over and over again. Sometimes for a few hours but as long as a full day sometimes. I dont know what is happening. I was able to block texting to those contacts and it seemed to stop. Texts with these contacts was typically in a group text (mms) and would happen daily. I noticed that when we would group text sometimes some of the messages would stay pending "download" and even after several attempts to dowload it the message would just stay pending so i would just ignore it. But later in the day and/or very late that night i would start receiving all these messages which seem to be the same ones over and over again. Much more people were letting me know that they were receiving texts messages from me. Its gotten to the point where at times i just shut down my phone overnight and pray that it clears up by morning. It had been. Any help you can point me to would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
Are they texts that you have composed or has your account been hacked?

thank you for reaching out so quickly. They are texts that i have composed. At least those i can see. Its like they pop back up as a group text somehow and the messages keep coming even if i delete the group text.

No problem. I did some research via Google and found that a fair number of people have reported the same problem (across all networks, Verizon and T-Mobile as well as Sprint) with the following results:
1) The issue seems to be tower related, so the first thing that you should do is report it to Sprint. They'll tell you that you are crazy, can't happen...stick with the report and hope that someone takes it seriously.
You can point to: https://support.t-mobile.com/thread/86838?tstart=0 and http://forums.androidcentral.com/samsung-galaxy-s5/425621-duplicate-text-messages.html and https://community.sprint.com/baw/message/558872
2) To try to fix it yourself, update PRL and Profile. If that doesn't solve it, switch to a 3rd party texting app.
If I did nothing else, hopefully I assured you that you are sane and your phone isn't haunted. Best of luck.
Thank you so much for your help. I seriously thought I was going insane. Actually thought all this was "Normal". I'm not very android savvy so can you tell me what PRL is? Sorry haven't read Cell Phones for Dummies yet. I appreciate the links. I will definitely follow up. Someone told me that I may have to do a "Factory Reset"?

if it's a group message you're included in, I believe you need to have the other contacts in the group remove you from it.

Hello elesbb.
Since I recently just found out a few days ago that all this was happening, I spoke to the contacts on the group text and they confirmed that they were receiving most if not all of these repeated group texts. So we decided to stop the group text, and I put a text block on their numbers and the repeat texts have stopped. But I'm afraid if I take off the text block Im gonna have the same problem. What I did typically see that I had many repeated copies of the texts that were either attempting or failed to download. I would get this sometimes all evening and late into the night/morning. I really dont' know what to do. I'm in the process of contacting sprint today to see if its a system or network issue.
