I am on the GPE rom flashed to an AT&T Htc One. The group messaging is malfunctioning for me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it only sends to one or two people in a thread of 4 or 5 people.
Whats going on? I have Group MMS setting checked (I'm using the stock messaging app).
Any ideas? Is this a known issue? Or are my APN settings screwed up?

So I somehow borked messaging on my phone. Only it's deeper than that. Let's rewind a bit, shall we?
So about a week and a half ago, I started experimenting with different popup programs for SMS/MMS messages, since I'm not a big fan of how laggy chat heads can be with FB Messenger. I went through app after app comparing features until I settled on Glowfly. Everything seemed to be working fine until my sister tried to message me and my parents. It looked to me like she had just messaged me individually, and when I tried to send out a new group message with them all in it, I noticed it sent separate SMS messages to each person instead of a group MMS. And they didn't receive as a group message; it was all individual messages to them too. My first reaction was to uninstall Glowfly, but the damage was done. No matter what I've tried, this issue is persisting. I don't know if something messed up MMS settings on the network for me, or what, but even wiping and doing a clean install of roms (both stock and Sense) have the exact same issue, even if I don't restore anything with TIBU or install anything at all. The only thing I can think is that maybe it's pulling wrong MMS settings from Google, or it's something on the network acting screwy, but no one else is having this issue. Oh, and here's the weirdest part: I can still get MMS messages with pictures. So MMS is not flat-out broken. I just don't understand how it can persist through wipes and clean installs. Anyway, does anyone have any idea what could be happening?
Its not MMS, its not an included feature in 4.1, it got added in 4.2. Try Textra. Its in the play store. Has popups and group messaging built in. Super clean and stable texting app. My wife and mom have been using it on their firsts, and have had no issues at all. Hope that helps.

I've been having a lot of problems with MMS since picking up the Active and switching to AT&T.
I usually use Handcent, but right now it's pretty worthless when it comes to group messages or receiving a picture. in both the stock messaging app and Handcent settings I have it set to group messages, and to automatically download. when I receive an MMS, though, I still have to click on download (and they won't download at all in Handcent even after clicking).
say I receive a group text from someone and 3 other people respond. both apps now display 4 different entries, one for each person. if I open each individual's thread and click download (again just in the stock app) the messages will be removed from that individual's thread and then be added to a group thread.
this is pretty frustrating, and I really want it solved. is this an AT&T issue (I was on VZW riding the Droid train before) or something with the phone?
a little update on this:
sending of MMS is also way less than ideal, either not sending at all, or taking a really really long time. I tried to send a picture earlier and it took 40 minutes before it finally went through. my searching of the interwebs leads me to believe it's perhaps an APN issue? it would be strange if the default settings out of the box prevent it from working, though. anyone else have an issue with this?
MMS is horrible for me on Handcent, too. I have to open the stock Messaging app just to download an MMS and sometimes that doesn't work, either. I also tried AT&T Messages, but it won't ever even setup correctly.

Hey everyone, I am on Sprint with my HTC one m7 (obviously cause im in this forum haha) but I have been using hangouts with no problems for a few months now with no problems. Just yesterday, my MMS and group messages stopped working. I didn't chang any settings or update to 2.1 before the problems happened. All my group texts come in that individuals text thread now saying "tap to download MMS" and they wont load no matter what. My data is always on so it can't be that. Like I said, group text and MMS messages were working 100% fine until yesterday. I updated hangouts to 2.1 today, but that didn't fix anything either. If anyone else had this happen to them and can help me out, it would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
I have a branded and rooted Nexus 6. Everything is working fine. I'm using the default Nxtgenphone APN. No problem with SMS messaging or group messaging as MMS.
I'm trying to send and receive picture MMS. Using the Messenger app, I get a cannot send message; tap to retry. Switching to Hangouts gets me a MMS message cannot be stored.
Anyone have this problem and can offer a solution?
For now. I'll say this problem has gone away. I rebooted and all is well.
MMS not working properly
Had the same problem when i try to send a picture message on my n6 i could receive but cant send them on the android app i installed textra and i could send mms again thats weird
Swap your Sim card , had the same issue on T-Mobile.
I had issues with mms on Straight Talk with AT&T sim. I disabled stock messenger and I installed the CM12 stock messenger which looks practically the same and now mms works with no issues. Here is the link for the direct download. https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2PiSOTXR691dUpwdjBUcnkxSms/edit
Anyone have a fix for the T-Mobile MMS issue? I can't download texts that are coming through group messaging. I have played around with the APN settings but nothing seems to work.
what messaging app are you using?
are you on wifi calling at the time?
This happens to me too sometimes. Stock mms app on data. I have a few that have been downloading for three days now
until yesterday i got zero group texts that were sent to me from iphones. yesterday i changed ipv6 to ipv4 in my apn settings and group texts worked when i tested it. can't say it's a permanent fix, but definitely give that a shot.
I switched from Hangouts to the Google Messenger app as recommended from another forum and so far it seemed to do the trick.
