Group SMS problem with Google Voice and 11 members - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I was part of a 10-member (including myself) group chat made up of Androids and iPhones with various carriers.
I am using Google Voice for SMS/MMS, and everything was working smoothly in this 10-member group-chat.
After creating another group chat (via one of the iPhones) with one additional person (11 total counting myself now), problems arose.
On at least two of the devices, an iPhone and a Samsung S5, my texts (from Google Voice) show up in their own individual group chat, with some members missing. Attached is a screenshot of how this looks on one of the iPhones (I am JG in the screenshot).

I should mention that most of the other devices are working properly.
Any ideas on what may be going on here, how to fix it, or a more specific place to ask this question?
EDIT: I have tried creating a group chat with the same members with the same results.

[Q] Beginner questions about contacts

Hi,
firstly, let me introduce myself:
My name is Tony and from my signature and amount of posts, you can see, I am a very active XDA user and used to do a lot of first and second level support for the blueangel and the blackstone and today my SGS2 arrived, which is my first native android phone. As soon, as i figured out all the tiny beginner's questions, i will start supporting this awesome device for all you fellow users out there.
But for now, excuse me, that I have to ask a few stupid questions that I encountered while setting up the device:
1. My phone is set to English (US) and my keyboard and voice input options are set to German (so that writing or voice inputting sms and german addresses are easier). However, Vlingo does not exactly support the dual language and sometimes produces problems when reading out english information, anybody else experiencing mixed language problems there? any advice?
2. i decided to set my up contacts from scratch. i put in all the correct formal names for my contacts, but when i connect these users to their respective facebook accounts (who are sometimes based on nicknames), the display name automatically changes to the facebook name, while i prefer the formal name. is there a way to change it?
3. contacts allow me to add several im accounts, e.g. ICQ. when i click the icq# of a user, it opens up im and states that only windows live, google talk and yahoo are supported. is there a way to either connect that to the official icq for android, or add other messengers to the stock im? if not, why bother inputting all the information, if one cannot use it?
i wonder why nobody else seems to experience problem #2.
i found it again here: http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6067
apparently, when you connect contacts through one or more platforms, like facebook, twitter, last.fm, skype... and there names vary, your contacts app will always prefer the last name with the latest letter in the alphabet. in my case, there is one contact first name r. last name b., but one facebook, he goes by another variation of his name, "zu b.", so contacts prefers the facebook name, as z is greater than b. there is no logical reason why facebook names should be preferred to the phone's own stored name. after all, i entered those names because i wanted to find the contacts by that name. why does the phone tell me, my choices are no good and facebook's are better?
strike issue #1 and #3, i will find a workaround some time, but it would be extremely nice, if someone could check if this contacts issue is present in their device and firmware?
i have ke7 dbt (latest german stock rom).
My nexus one does the same thing. If I sync contacts with Facebook it changes to their Facebook displayed name. I'm still not clear on exactly how it does it too.
i tried several ways of bypassing the issue, starting by assuming the sorting of contacts would be determined by the regular ascii order of letters, or linux's, so i tried renaming every contact to minuscules, so R.B. -> r.b. which didn't help and i wouldn't even bother starting any contact with z or any symbol, as that would render the letter navigation bar on the right useless.
so the only way i could bypass the issue was to sort and display contacts by first name. after many years of windows mobile use i'm having trouble getting used to it but apparently, there is no other way so far.
if anyone else has trouble with this, please go to http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=6067 and star the issue and post your experiences.

[Q] any one can increase whatsapp group members

how can i increase the group members in whatsapp
i can only add 10 members
i have galaxy s2
please people help !!
Since the Whatsapp service is not p2p and the app is a front end for their servers, I'd say no app modding can change this. Probably not even if all group members had the modified app.
This is a big problem I have with Whatsapp and I don't understand why they don't add support for larger groups... But this is something they will have to do on their servers... I only wish Google had invested in their Talk service (and Android app) before every one of my friends adopted Whatsapp...
my friends have iphone and they just made a group with 24 members .. why they can do this and we can't ..

Are you in that group? Is it in Whatsapp? Are you sure you're seeing properly or they're not lying? The members of Whatsapp's service get the same service no matter what client they're using (Android, BB, iOS, etc.). Like I said, the Whatsapp service is server-based, and the app, be it iOS or Android, is just a frontend.
i witnessed it
I saw a friend in a group of 14 people, whatsapp said 14 out of 10... He had an HTC sensation but the group was created by an iPhone.. I made a research in google and it turned out that there is a patch in Ios that lets you do that, so maybe it is possible for someone with the proper skills here that can make that happen in our androids!
WhatsApp has now raised the limit to 16 per group!
PLEASE REFER TO THE WEBSITE, AS THIS IS RELATED TO A HOAX!
The article by Whatsapp itself on the hoax can be found here, by the way, as a proof I'm not lying.
I'm still seeing "x of 10" in groups.
Edit, now seeing x of 15
Please can anyone add me on galaxy s2 GOUP DIS IS MY NUMBER +2348068464430

Question to all ChatOn app users.

Hello to everyone who is using IM app ChatON, whether on Samsung mobiles or others.
Was anyone able to find a way to clear all the shared pics, animated mssgs, vds etc etc that always stay in trunk and return back even when start a new chat, after deleting the old chat.
To explain in detail, when we chat with someone using ChatON and share some pics, vds or etc etc, which stay in trunk of that chat window do not have the option to delete them like in WatsApp. But when delete the chat, there is a pop up that says "All your messages with trunk will be deleted permanently" looks promising. But when we start a new chat with the same person whom we have recently shared pics, vds etc etc, all the trunk is restored. Does it mean all our shared data is stored in Samsung servers? (It does not sound very good if its true ) Then is there anyway to delete the trunk Permanently without anything being restored when we start a new chat.
I have posted this thread here because this particular app has increased the quality of the way we chat unlike in any other IM apps like watsapp, viber, tango, IMO, etc etc. Its fast and super eye candy. So just wanted to know if we have a solution for the problem I mentioned above. One should use it before commenting negative about this app . Tried to find any stored data of this app using Root Explorer, but could not find any and could not find any solution anywhere. But then, after complaining about this issue (this is a issue to me), and no reply from ChatON or Samsung even after 9 days, I have decided to take help from XDA.
Moderators and Senior members, please excuse me if this thread is irrelevant to XDA, and please delete the thread, if you wish so. I just wanted to know, how the app functions so that we could tweak it, in order to make it more secure.

[Q] Sync contacts as READ ONLY

I would like to keep a contact list for a group of people where we would all need each others numbers: work collaborators, softball team members, boy scout troop members, church members, etc. I would like to have one person create a master list for a specific group, and allow everyone to sync their devices so that it can be seen in their contact list.
This is easy enough to do. Just have each person sync their phone to the same Gmail account, and only sync the contacts. However, with large groups of people, it becomes more problematic to allow each person the ability to change entries. Does anyone know a way to get a share a contact list with multiple devices that get read only access to the list.
I would like this to be able to be done across Android, IPhone, WinMobile, Blackberry. (Or as many as possible.)

Group Chat Retrieval

Hi to all of you developers! First let me say that I am not a developer but am a long-time Android user. I was referred to this forum by a tech support professional who was unable solve my problem after many herculean efforts to do so. I'd really appreciate any help here.
I recently changed to from Verizon to AT&T as my carrier. I had an LG6 with Verizon but am now using a Samsung Galaxy S10e. All of my texts, including group chats (in Message+), were able to be transferred over. For this particular chat group I was the administrator. As soon as the transfer was completed, I noticed that this chat did not appear in the new phone. When I looked at the LG6, and opened up the group chat, a message at the bottom says "you are no longer a participant of this conversation". So this group chat not only didn't transfer to the new phone, I can't participate in the group on the old phone..and no longer am the Administrator. I installed the Message+ app on the new phone in the hopes it would reappear. Like it is on the old phone..but it doesn't.
My question is this: is there an app that can allow me to retrieve this group chat and it's history off the old phone and put it on the new phone? It's important because it contains important information on my mother who recently passed away. It was actually the only text I truly cared about. I know I can be re-added to the group but it will only include info from the time I'm added. I'd really like to see text history and current all there together if at all possible.
Can anyone help?
