I've had my S4 for about a week now after upgrading from an iPhone 4s. I love every feature that the phone has and really like everything with Android.
Over the past week, I've only had 1 major issue.
I know the S4 can do group messaging, but my problem is getting responses from other people in group messages. I can send the message fine and my contacts are receiving the messages, but when they (all iPhones) reply, I'm not getting anything. I am however getting individual texts from all contacts with no problem regardless of the device. I've done some research and tried the following:
1. De-registered my old iPhone and removed my phone number from all Apple account contact info.
2. Changed my iCloud/Apple password.
3. On my S4, I have the group MMS box checked, and the conversation thread even says "Group Messaging."
One other thing I had found was that it could possibly be due to the ATT apps that come pre-loaded on the phone. I've also disabled the ATT Messaging app thinking that was somehow preventing the responses to come through but that didn't seem to do anything.
I traded in my old iPhone and did a factory re-set in the store, and do not have the device to go back to now to change anything there. I also have an iPad2, where I have logged into my apple account and made sure iMessage was turned off on that device but no luck. Any idea's as to why I'm not receiving group message replies or how to fix this issue?
