Iphone MMS - LG Optimus G (International)

I have had cm11 installed for several months. I cannot receive messages from Iphones in a group message. All other messages are fine from all other phones. If someone with an iphone sends me a direct message I receive it. However if I am in a group message with iphones thier messages are blank. Does anyone know how I can fix this.
I am running the most recent CM11 nightly. I was always able to get MMS from Iphones on stock. Since rooting and installing CM11 I cannot receive group messages from Iphones. It just comes in as a blank message.
My data is on. I have tried adjusting VPN settings (although maybe incorrectly). I would have posted this in the Official CM11 thread but I dont have enough post. I have been on the site for years I just read and never post.

[Q] Stock Google Messaging App and iPhone Group Messages

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?

MMS Issues on my ATT HTC One M8

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!

Stock text messaging app bug found

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.
Sent from my LG-H830 using XDA-Developers mobile app

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.

not able to receive group messages

FIrstly, Hello. I had an account here years ago but forgot the email/password I used(oh well).
I actually have various issues with this phone, but the most important one(at least being worked related) is this. I am able to send and receive individual text messages just fine with both the stock "messages" application as well as the "message +"(Verizon) application. I can also send out group messages just fine.... but I am not able to receive group messages from anyone I work with. All my co-workers have iPhones. I'm the only one with an Android phone.
I have tried clearing cache/data, force stopping, resetting network settings, rebooting, adjusting every setting possible in both messages & message+ applications(including disabling/re-enabling/updating). I went through the Verizon z2 force text message troubleshooting on their website and was even on the phone with Verizon for awhile. Finally, I put my SIM card back into my old Galaxy S6 phone and tested with that... still did not work.
I then tried using other 3rd party apps: Signal & Textra (neither one worked either)
I have heard that a "group text message" being sent from an iPhone only circulates on Apple servers(meaning that only people with an iPhone can get them).... however, one of my co-workers insists that he was able to get them on his old phone(Android... nexus something).
Basically, I know the problem is not this phone(right?...) That being the case, does anyone know of any way I can receive a group message originating from an iPhone without having to switch to an iPhone?
Any help is appreciated. Thank you
Update: I had a friend using an older iphone 5(iOS 10) attempt to send out a group text message. I was able to receive it. Upon doing further research, seems there's a bug in iOS 11 in which Android users are not getting group text messages.
So... it is Apple's fault this time. Additionally, I found that by using the app 'TextPlus' on my Z2 Force, I am able to receive these iOS11 group text messages. Looks like I'll have to stick with that until Apple fixes the issue.

Samsung message app issue?

I hate the Verizon message app, so I always used the samsung one, well I tried factory reset, cache,etc. The damn thing won't let me send group messages or send pics, any one else have this issue? It's driving me nuts, I use the group's reply for work and stuff. But it works in Verizon message app...
I can't answer your question as I did not like Samsung or Verizon's solution. I have used Textra for a long time and never have any problems.
I had this very same issue with my Verizon Note 8 and never figured out what caused it. If I would switch my sim from my Note 8 to my iPhone and back MMS would work briefly and then fail after a while. Verizon nor Samsung could help me, so I downloaded Textra and never looked back. Funny thing is when I first was dealing with this I couldn't find a single thread with any other owner reporting the issue now 4 months later I saw your post lol.
I just noticed that I'm having this exact issue as well. Re-flashed the entire stock Verizon firmware and still can't send MMS. I can receive but not send.
Is almost like it was sabotaged, so you had to use Verizon message app, I'll try textra, thanks for the help
Use Signal, I beg of you:

I second signal. Absolutely no issues so far. Very reliable
Same issue that stock app just stopped sending mms. But have to use due to watch compatibility.. Help?
Is anyone else having a problem with the badge showing up when you got a message? Im not getting any number on the icon to indicate there are unread messages....
I've been having a problem with mms since updating to oreo. Never had a problem before that. But I'm also having issues with data during calls.
