Group messages in ICS? - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I'll admit that I don't use group messages or MMS (just regular text messages), so this one has me baffled.
I can send and receive regular individual text messages just fine. No problems there.
However, my supervisor, who is using an iPhone, sends out group text messages. Those come to me as 1K MMS messages (with a "Download" button in GoSMS Pro, or a "Downloading..." icon in stock Messaging). When I click on the "Download" icon in GoSMS Pro, it just sits and spins ad infinitum, and never turns into a message.
How do I get incoming group text messages to display properly?
Is this an APN issue, a messaging client issue, or a system setting issue?
Thanks in advance.

No more notification or text messages. Need help

Recently I'm no longer able to receive text message or email notifications. I can send text messages and browse the internet (with and without wifi) I can still read my emails but I don't get any notifications that I have them.
The larger problem is that I don't receive text messages any more. I also dont get anything from SpinVox (doesn't turn my voice mails into text anymore. Also dont get notifications for my voice mail)
The problem start around when I updated from Cyanogenmod 4.2.14.1 to 4.2.15.1 but I don't think that is the problem. As I think I could still receive texts for a little while.
Thanks for the help.
If I go into settings -> data sync it says gmail, calender, contacts were all last synced on the 21st. Which seems about right when my texts stopped working. If I unselect, then reselect, the sync icon appears but nothing happens it just sits there.(Still doesn't report that I have emails, even thought at the time I did)

[Q] help! where are my texts?

All of a sudden, my incoming texts are not saving to my inbox. It all started after 10am today. I have my incoming texts before 10 but after that- it looks like i am just having a conversation with myself.
The pop up text appears but when I "X" out of it, the text is gone. I am using hand cent texting app but they're also not being saved to my factory text app.
Also, it's not set to delete messages after 200.
Help! Luckily I have the pop up setting enabled or I would not get my text. I've looked through the settings and can't find anything.
I fixed it.. it was my handcent app

[Q] Unable to send texts using voice

When trying to send a text (SMS) using voice, after dictating the message and saying send it says 'sending message' and then 'message sent' but it never does, if you open the messaging app the text is not there, is anyone else having this problem?
Sending an email works fine, along with getting directions only the messaging (SMS) doesn't seem to work.
I wonder if it is because it is a dual SIM, although I have SIM2 turned off and it set to send via SIM1 as default but it also doesn't work if I change the settings or if I change the default SMS app to Hangouts.
Does anyone else's work?

facebook messenger mms photos appear for split second then disappear

hello all,
i've been trying to setup facebook messenger as my default text messaging app (meaning sms and mms). i seem to have no trouble sending out and receiving sms messages, but i do not receive mms messages that others send to me, and when i send one out to others, it appears for a split second, then disappears. my app defaults show facebook messenger as the default sms app.

This is an old post, so I hope you found a solution for it. I'm having the same issue an I found if you send it with text or the person sending it includes text it shows up. That's the only fix for it I've found.

On Facebook messenger you can't, but on other sms apps you can. Like on gosms you can include text with the pic which stops it from disappearing. I wouldn't recommend gosms cuz of the ads. I just have an old copy from Titanium back up that I use with no ads. Besides that you have to stick to the sms that comes with it or go with a good sms with no ads an just include text with the pic, unfortunately a person sending you an mms without text, the pic will just dissappear.
