iPhone to Android iMessage bug fix

I use to have hotmail email. And then I decided to use gmail. Some people when they reply to me directly send it to gmail, but when they continue group conversation from before I do not get it. Bad Microsoft they have a bug. They arrested my emails. I am going to bring a light to that. "Light".

This entire time, I have been talking about group messaging going through as iMessages and not MMS. I will repeat my first post for those of you who decided not to read it.

I first called Apple about this issue back in February when I thought it was just one iPhone user, but called again today after realizing that more group conversations were leaving my android phone out. My iMessage has been deactivated since my first support call in February, and I've run the self-deactivation webpage several times and it says iMessage is not activated with this phone number.

I've had my friends with iPhones who group message delete my phone number and the thread, and resend a group message - the first goes through as text MMS, but somehow the iPhones start talking to each other and switch to iMessage and I stop receiving messages.

Apple support this morning had me remove my number from the support profile and then have iPhone users delete threads and contact info and re-add me, but the problem persisted. Apple this afternoon at a call back told me to call my carrier to see if it was a configuration issue, which I don't see it being the case. T-Mobile said it's a group iMessage problem, where they will always switch to iMessage if an iPhone user responds. So they suggested telling my iPhone friends to turn off iMessage... which would just of course prevent them from getting group iMessages.

That is entirely unrelated to this issue. As I have posted, when people delete a group conversation, delete me from their contacts, re-add me and create a new group conversation - using my appropriate phone number which I can and do get SMS and MMS at, the iPhones switch over to iMessage.will

Apple has a bug in which in new conversations will switch over to iMessage, and android users in the thread cannot receive the group messages.

To your opinion it is unrelated, to mine it is a bug. As I have posted, when they continue to use reply to our mail conversations from before I moved on to gmail, stuff goes to hotmail. Microsoft is stealing my mail. I need to bring light to that "LIGHT". Microsoft is bad. New conversations also switch to old email in my friends computers when they start typing my name. Bad Microsoft. Microsoft should fix that bug and wipe my friends computers so they only remember new email.

Back to this conversation, it is a bug for Apple devices to have new group conversations with new saved phone numbers that are not registered on iMessage servers resort to iMessage. This causes it so that Android users miss out on group conversations. I would love for Apple to issue a bug fix to check that all phone numbers are registered with iMessage before switching away from MMS.

It is a bug for Microsoft that when people type in my name in their email my old email account pulls up and microsoft servers resort to microsoft email. Bad microsoft bad. That causes people to email to my old email and I would live Microsoft to issue bug fix and wipe my friends computers so they do not keep switching to old email.

That isn't the same at all.

An equivalent would be if you change from iCloud email to gmail and everyone edits their contact list to record the new email. But everytime a group email list is sent with icloud emails involved, your email is auto changed from @gmail to @iCloud. Even that isn't quite equal because iCloud email will communicate with any other email and iMessage won't.

I don't know that I would call it a bug, but I can't say it isn't a bug either. as mentioned, group messages are carrier controlled. For example, AT&T limits groups to 10 . If you have 30 people to contact you have to send 3 messages.

i Have several apple devices, but an android phone. I have noticed iMessage turns on by itself on occasion on my iPad, which I don't use for messaging.

Unless every iPhone user unregisters from iMessage and never uses it again, they will continue to send messages through a system that only iphone users can use.

I have an annoying friend and somehow in group messages my messages to him become imessages, despite the fact that me and him have android phones.

I thank you kindly for your valuable expertise and explanations, but please do not deprive me of my entertainment nightly

Come back when people delete your old email address and old email threads from their computer, compose a new email to your correct gmail address, and their windows computer prevents it from sending to gmail and routes it to your Hotmail address instead.

That would be a bug like this Apple bug.

Maybe an app issues you try getting kitkat luncher add it to your app list go to your settings on your phone turn it on as an add-on to your phone system and a addKit Kat turn it on it a add on it most likely fix the issues

I both understand what the bug issue is, and I am bringing light to the bug issue in hopes that someone can fix or find a remedy (that doesn't involve having the world turn off iMessage).

I would love it if deregistering iMessage again in their servers would prevent me from missing group texts from iPhone users, but alas my number is not registered and I can do nothing on my end to be able to receive group texts.

No you don't, you just think you do. That is why you are bringing light. That is why my responses are just as serious as your understanding. But enjoy bringing light and I will enjoy even more by my daily entertainment. I lost it for a while, but now you are back.

I do understand the issue. I understand what works, and I understand that I can look at my friend's iPhones and see group messages turn over from MMS to iMessage, failing to include me. I have not gotten a response to help me solve this issue, aside from telling my friends to turn off iMessage on their iPhones.

I understand the issue, and I am bringing light so that more people can be aware of it, see if they have the same issue (as multiple here do), and so Apple can patch whatever their service is that checks before sending something as iMessage.

Your responses are un-serious not because I don't understand the bug, but because you do not care to understand what the issue is (as is obvious from your responses), and have showed no attempt to understand. I will continue to talk about this until one of my Apple customer support calls can help me, or T-Mobile can help me, or AT&T can help me, or until my the T-Mobile bug report that they sent to Apple yields some fix in a future firmware.

If you find trolling entertainment, that's really fine, but has no bearing on the bug.

If you understand issue have your friend wipe iphone and see if issue will exist. Then tell me you understand and I will believe you.

O and sorry for taking you seriously above for a second, lightbringer.

Having my friends (multiple) who group message completely erase their phones might satisfy your desire to troll, but they will not do that. Surely, you understand that at the minimum.

I have had them wipe me from their contacts and wipe our group messaging history per recommendations from Apple, and then send new group messages to my number and others, and the issue still exists.
