i have noticed and tested that the verizon note 2 upon receiving a message from a samsung device like a stock note 2 or stock sgs3 that i do not receive their messages in the group thread. my dad is the stock note 2 and my moms is the sgs3 my wife has a stock bionic. i have sat with all the phones and tested it myself.
my wifes phone receives group messages from them just fine but i do not. so i was curious if it was just aosp and i knew a guy my dad works with that as aosp running on a sgs2 and he receives my dads messages just fine in group texting.
so that leaves it to be this phone on aosp causing the issue it has happened in cm, aokp, carbon rom so that did not differentiate either. i stay on 3g 100% of the time. and i have tested with both gosms and handcent (whith the group messaging option check on both)
and i also should note it is just other samsung phones group messages that have given me this problem thus far. iphone and motorola are the only ones i know that my phone can receive in the group thread
i was just curious if anyone else had this problem also
edit: now on 4g and problem still occurs.
You sure LTE is enabled in settings?
Aosp messaging isn't perfect iirc. There are issues with group and vzw.

im sorry i should have been more clear i meant i was on 3g because i only live in a 3g area
Im on a Galaxy Nexus on verizon running carbon rom and have noticed I was having the same MMS/group messaging issues. Mine seemed to be from iPhones and I would get the message and get a notification. When I then went to the thread/list, there was no message and it was gone. I THOUGHT maybe it had to do with updating to the latest radio?? If I flashed another rom sometimes later a random MMS/group message gets pushed through (sometimes from days before). I know someone on a S3 with he same issue. All my group messages are from verizon iphones except 1 verizon s3 that has never been an issue. Ive tried turning off wifi too but doesnt seem to be the issue. Right now i have auto retrieve off, but id never know if it was a message i wouldnt have received.

Also running Carbon, HTC One on Verizon (m7vzw).
I also have the issue of a notification appearing and my being unable to read it. It doesn't show up in my messages list.
anyone found a solution yet? I'm going to try downloading the sense 5 messenger apk, because it worked for me with a previous rom.

I'm currently flashed with the latest nightly of CyanogenMod 10.2 which is 9/5. I'm not really sure when it started but a bit after I installed 10.1 I was unable to send text messages out. However was able to receive messages just fine. I've searched around quite a bit, and checked the same issues on various forums, none which have a good solution to what the problem is. Wondering if there is any insight as to what the probably cause to this would be? I never really had an issue with CM10.1 when I used it on my Samsung Captivate. Now that I switched over to the i777 I don't really see why I'm having this issue.

Could be a few things:
APN issue. Check that what you have under the 3 MMS fields match those of your carrier.
Are you using the stock messaging app or a 3rd party one? If it's the latter that's likely the culprit as well.
Or it could simply be a nightly problem, which is why it's generally best to use RC's. Nightlies rarely offer real upgrades, and often cause problems due to constant dirty flashing/carryovers from previous builds.

I'm using the stock messaging app. My APN is correct. I'll try the RC version.
EDIT: Nope the RC didn't change anything, I've looked around and I havn't been able to figure out anything. I'm able to send MMS messages, just not SMS. If I switch the chip back into my captivate it can send texts just fine.

Bump?
So I flashed back to stock T-Mobile Android 4.3 for the HTC One and now I am having problem with MMS, specifically group texts. I received a number of group texts while on wifi calling and half of them never downloaded. A MMS message box shows up under the individual contact (presumably the person who sent it) with an option to download. I click download and it never completes. Sometimes it will fail and show a red exclamation next to their name.
I was on Android Revolution HD 9.4 (Android 4.1.2) as recently as yesterday morning and wifi calling was working flawlessly with MMS / Group Texts.
I've seen that on multiple phones all running custom roms that I've made APN changes to. I don't really use Wi-Fi calling so in my case it's not related but I've found rebooting causes the messages to download almost every single time. I know it's not a solution but maybe it helps before someone else posts something that fixed it.
So... I recently got a replacement used Fascinate for my original unit that had a shattered screen. It has GeeWiz 4.2.2 loaded on it and I really like it. Damn near perfect... except for one thing and I'm not even sure/don't think it's the phone/ROM.
My texting issue is related to MMS. I can send any text... short, extended/pages long, picture texts (MMS) and I can receive all except long texts. And it's only an issue with my wife. She can write a book. LOL After doing more testing with other people, it seems to be a thing with Pageplus and Verizon. My wife is on Pageplus. I'm on Verizon...for now. My son is also on Verizon and has the same issue. I had a friend who is also on Pageplus send me a long text and it failed too. If I have someone on Verizon send me a extended text (over 140 characters) and comes thru fine. Only Pageplus customers seem to have the issue and it's only to my phone. I can have my wife send a long text to a friend who on Verizon and it goes thru fine.
The failure is on the senders side too. The senders phone will says failed to send. I don't get anything on my end. This is only to my phone.
I've searched and haven't found but a couple of references to a similar problem and no solutions. One possible thing that I haven't followed up on yet is this.... This phone was on Pageplus. I activated it on Verizon. Verizon shows no issues on their end at all but I'm wondering if Pageplus still has something in their system from the previous owner with this ESN. It's only Pageplus people that have this issue sending texts to my phone. They can send to other Verizon phones. And this is only long/extended texts that are 140 characters or more. Short texts and picture texts work fine. Oh....and if the sender attaches a pic to the long text, I will receive it.
It really weird. Wondering if anyone has seen anything similar or has any ideas. My next step is to call Pageplus support to see if they can help. I was also going to re-activate my old phone to verify the problem goes away. I welcome any insights.
Mike

have you checked the settings in the "Messaging" app itself, seems I recall a converting sms to mms or some setting that deals with that...

I thought that had more to do with outgoing texts than incoming but I will try it later and report back.
So I looked in the settings of stock texting app and it doesn't have the "convert long sms to mms" option but I'm running 8sms in Default mode, which basically just themes the stock app and adds a couple more setting/features....one of which IS "convert long sms to mms". It was doing this before I started using 8sms so it's not the app. I'll try the change and post back results.
I tried turning that option on but it had no effect. Open to other suggestions. Still need to call Page plus support yet too,

maybe try a different ROM to make sure it's not just an issue with GeeWiz? roll back to a stock ROM and see if that fixes anything... also use the right ROM, you know, eh03 for vzw devices, etc.
Or possibly try another texting app or even hangouts will do sms/mms...
It sounds like page plus is possibly not splitting the message into 2 sms or not converting a long sms to a mms unless it explicitly contains a picture,,,
I would think that is software settings
That also could potentially be the sender's messaging app not converting it to mms and/or not splitting the message into 2 sms.
I know you said there were multiple people sending you stuff,, to they both have the same app?
Let me try to clarify the scenario....
My phone is a Fascinate with Geewiz 4.2.2 ROM activated on Verizon (for now LOL).
I have several people on Pageplus that can't send me an extended text message, meaning a text message over 140 characters. One is an iPhone 4, one is a Fascinate on Superclean ROM, and the last is a Fascinate on Geewiz 2.9. If any of them try to send me a message that longer than 140 characters, it fails to send on THEIR end. I never see it. These same 3 people can send the exact same text that fails to other Verizon phones with no issue.
My phone was originally a Verizon phone that was then switched to Pageplus. When I got it, I put it back on Verizon.
It seems to me that this is an issue with Pageplus, almost like there's some information in their system still that sees my phone as inactive and refuses to send it. The texts fails on the senders end almost like they don't have service. I need to take a chunk of time and call Pageplus support and see if this is even a possibility. Regular texts and picture messages sent from those same phones DO make it thru. I can send all forms of SMS/MMS with no issues. It's only receiving and only from Pageplus customers. If a Verizon customer sends me an extended text, it comes thru no problem.
I would think if it's the ROM, the problem would be evident regardless of the carrier the message was sent from. How could a ROM single out a specific message from a specific carrier? I'm not saying it's possible but it seems like this is a system issue on Pageplus side.
Thanks for the suggestions. It helps validate the steps I've taken and my thought process to solve it.
Well, I spent about 2hrs on the phone between Pageplus and Verizon tech support. Each blamed the other for the issue but ultimately Verizon is looking into it. Made to Level 3 support for whatever that is worth. Supposed to get a call back after they pour thru whatever they have to look thru. We'll see. They all agree that if the phone can receive EMS texts (Verizons extended text message protocol), the phone itself can't distinguish between carriers. The settings for each are the same. Since Pageplus and Verizon use the same system/network, it SHOULD work and can't really be my device. It's something on one of their networks.
Oh... and nobody has ever heard of something like this ever happening....which gives me great confidence that it will get resolved... LOL
Latest... tech support has been less than helpful... SURPRISE! LOL
They said that my phone is rejecting the messages but can't explain how Verizon Extended messages get thru but not Pageplus...which uses the exact same system. Not sure what else to do than maybe try a different ROM to see if it really is Geewiz or not...or maybe swap a device on the account too.

I would definitely try other roms... Not surprised about Verizon support lol...
You guys are my last hope. I've Googled and searched and talked to Verizon and I can't find a solution.
When texting specific iPhone users on att I constantly get a message
"Attachment(s) text_0.txt removed] Attachment(s) removed]"
They, on the other end sometimes get a text from my number or it will switch to "myphonenumber"@vtext.com creating a new conversation on their phone. I can find no correlation other than if they send me an mms it always comes through.
Any suggestions? Your help would be greatly appreciated by my mother[emoji1].

Also wanted to add that this isn't exclusive to my stock rooted nc5. This was happening on Jellybean as well.

Will happen no matter what if you've got a current iPhone working through Verizon. For whatever reason, their 'sms' to mail gateway at Verizon is creating MMS of every text. That happens no matter how short the message is (could be a single character) and occurs even when we're talking vanilla ASCII text. It's a Verizon problem with Apple phones, evidently starting with iOS6. It's also not a problem unique to Android clients. The same thing happens to many users of Outlook and other client software.

Governments have risen and fallen since I last posted in this thread haha.
Her and I are both 2 phones past this problem but it disappeared when she upgraded to a newer iPhone. Hopefully if anyone else is still having this problem they'll know it's a Verizon issue. Thanks
Unlocked Note 8 on Verizon, I'm getting the same issue as S8/S8+ users. No comment from Samsung as of right now on the situation, just wondering if anyone else is having the same issue as me? I haven't noticed any sort of pattern, just missing many texts from both single and group chats, and it doesn't matter the app. I just noticed today I am missing calls as well. The S8/S8+ issue is on all carriers and unlocked. Anyone else not getting their calls or texts? What model and carrier are you on?
I've had random voice mail, but one time I know of.

I'm having the same issue. I have a Note 8, unlocked, running on T-Mobile using the default Samsung messages app. I keep missing occasional texts from my wife's iPhone 7 and have now even missed a phone call or two. It seems to be random as some messages go through just fine while others don't. When testing at home, I can't get the problem to replicate itself. The iMessage issue doesn't apply to me as I haven't been on an iPhone in over a year and have received texts just fine until now. I had wifi calling turned on, but have since turned it off and that hasn't helped. I was using Google Messenger for a short time, but the missing texts are while I'm on the Samsung Messenger. I've changed the default text app off for Samsung Text and back on to see if that helps as some people have mentioned it. So far (last couple days), it seems to be okay, but since it's a random thing, it will take time to know for sure if it's fixed. Really frustrating as text is such a basic phone component and honestly I use it far more than making phone calls so Samsung needs to fix this ASAP.
I had issues when I had Advanced messaging turned on, it caused all kinds of issues for me. Mms wouldnt load, messages took forever to send. I turned it off issues gone. Not saying that is whats causing your issues but try turning it off in message settings see if that helps.

Yes I'm having this problem, missing texts mostly from my gf. I was Google messenger now back on default Samsung messenger seeing if that helps. I'll contact Samsung today. I went through my carrier troubleshooting (cricket) and I don't think it's them. Never had a problem on my s7 edge. Fyi have an unlocked note 8 from best buy
I tried switching from global to LTE/CDMA and I just found out I had a missed text from my boss this morning. This is not cool. Please can anyone help?
Are your messaging apps battery optimized/dozed? I would double check that.
