Yesterday I started a text group to send to multiple people's numbers. It worked fine for a while, now this isn't sending to the users. I even started a new text group to see if that was the problem. Still wouldn't work. Is this a phone issues or carrier issue. I have tmobile and there are 7 people that I was texting to.
Check the Verizon data drop thread here in this Q&A thread. Appears to be the same issue or similar. Does your data drop out at all after this issue occurs? What message do you get with the group messaging problem?
It just says not sent. Touch to try again

I'm also experiencing this issue. If it matters to you, I'm using AT&T

My phone is driving me insane. I will receive up to ten copies of the same text message from random people I'm having SMS conversations with. Over. and over. and over. It is carrier and phone independent on their end; it never happened to me before I got the Galaxy Nexus.
The only way to solve the issue (and stop the texts, as they also seem to be coming in as additional text messages that have somehow been "converted" to the content of the "bug" message) is to restart the phone.
^^^ To clarify, I just got one text message five times. When I restarted my phone, five -different- text messages from the same person came in one burst.
What gives? Happened to me out of the box and with the 4.1.1 OTA I've installed.
AT&T. 4.1.1 yakju.
Further clarification:
NO additional SMS apps EVER installed.
Google Voice is NOT sharing an inbox with Mms.apk.
One friend has a new One X on at&t - I thought the issue was with his phone
Until it happened with a friend who has a 3GS on T-Mobile ; I've never received duplicate texts from them before, the issue is on my end
The m-m-monster kill does not seem to arrest any of my outgoing texts
It *does* however intercept all incoming text messages, and turn them into the m-m-monster kill text.
Due to this issue, I think I can never use the "Vega" notification again.
Quick Google results show VZW users experiencing the same issue with stock LTE Nexii. This is ridiculous.
Bump?
Same issue for me. I'm on 4.1.1 too and have experienced this randomly with multiple ROMs and kernels. Any fix?
Toro on cm10. Has never happened to me before.

[Q] On both my Note 4 (rooted running hybrid X 2.0 lollipop 5.01) and my wife's Note 4 (rooted running Hybrid X lollipop 5.1.1) in group text messages most of the texts from her brother are blank. They have his name but no message. A few will come through and if he sends a message to just one of us it works. It does not matter if he has a picture attached or just plain text. He is on Verizon and has been to one of their stores to see if the problem was on his end. They said it must be on our Sprint end, of course.
I have deleted his contact on both our phones and re-added it and still get blank messages from him when he replies to a group message. A few will slip through where we see his text but most are just his name with the body of the message blank. This does not happen with any other contact regardless of carrier. I have been through all the settings in the stock app and changed things one at a time but nothing there fixes the problem. Googling turned up a few with similar issues but with no suggestions that fixed our problem. All the others in the group message get his replies every time.
Any ideas on a fix? It must be rare because searches do not find much that is similar.
Thanks
Would he and the others happen to have iphones? I've read somewhere there can be issues like that between some Android and some iphones.
Nope, he has a Droid Turbo v5.1. Others with iPhone seem to work it's just texts from this one brother.

If he's the only one then... Perhaps he could try a different message app. It's a strange issue.
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.
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:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.thoughtcrime.securesms :highfive:
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.
So I have had my Red Magic 5G Pulse Version for two weeks now and I have been experiencing a very frustrating issue when it comes to group messaging with this phone.
It might be hard to explain, but whenever my friends start a group chat, my phone number appears on in the group list, which isn't correct since the group list should only be showing my friends and not my phone number. Whenever I try to send a message within that group chat, my message ends up showing up twice on my screen, one from me and one from my separate phone number, causing two version of my messages to appear. Apparently, the second message only appears for me and not my friends. I also do not get any issues when I try to start a group chat with my friends, as my phone number does not appear separately within the list of users when I create the group. This only happens when a friend starts the group chat.
I have tried multiple things in an attempt to fix the situation. I have tried resetting the data and cache for my messenger app. I have tried resetting the phone number within the messenger app. I have tried factory resetting my phone. Nothing has worked to fix the double text message issued.
Big thing to note that I previously used a Xiaomi Mi A2 Lite as my phone and have been using an AT&T prepaid sim card with that phone. I never had any issues with group texts using that phone. The issue only started when I transferred my sim card from my Mi A2 Lite to this new Reg Magic 5G. I may have reason to believe that the sim card or my service with AT&T is causing these issues, and I will try and see if they can help me out here, but I am curious to know if any Red Magic 5G users are having this issue with group texting. Last thing to note: I am using the default Google messaging app that comes with the phone.

Are you using Google messages or some other app? I tried to create a group conversation in Google messages. And checked group info and I was not there. Only 3 of the other member showed. So I could not reproduce the issue you mentioned.

Yes, I am using the default Google messaging app. No other messaging apps are installed on my phone.

I can confirm I don't have the issue in NA rom. Atleast not in 8-128 black model. Probably it's only in pulse?
Edit: I don't have rcs so probably rcs is the issue?
Sent from my NX659J using Tapatalk
Oh, I never even heard about RCS until now, so that may be a possibility. I will turn off the chat features and test my group chats again.

I don't think it's a good idea. Your chat features work based on rcs. Else they will just be sms and you will be charged a lot. Don't do that.

Well, what else would you suggest? I have tried mostly everything else at this point.

I am sorry I really don't have a solution. If you are ok with spending some money. You could disable chat features and reset the messages app and create a new group then test sms once to confirm if the rcs is the issue. Then maybe send a bug report to Google. Other than that I really don't know what can be done.
Sent from my NX659J using Tapatalk
Yeah, well I should be okay in that regard, since my prepaid service at least comes with unlimited texting. I only have some data to work with but for the sake of testing, I should be fine.

Bumping this. I got my phone back and even with the new update from Nubia, I am still having trouble with group texting.
This thread topic is basically what I have been dealing with. https://support.google.com/messages/thread/977504?hl=en
I have tried multiple things in an attempt to fix the issue, and from the looks of things that it seems to be a device/software issue, which wouldn't be much of a surprise since the software for this phone is pretty terrible.
Might just be your sim card. I get double messages when my sim is near death.
