I used to be able to send and receive group texts although I would sometimes have to 'download' the group messages, which was a pain but at least I got the messages. Since updating to KitKat on 5/21/14, I have been unable to receive group texts at all and any pictures are VERY slow in coming to me. For the group texts, I will receive a notification but can never actually SEE the text no matter which way I go in to see the message. With pictures, there will be the little (1) - or whatever number of pics I've received - at the bottom of the messaging icon, but the pictures don't show up at all, or they will come through after I turn the phone off and back on...which I don't do every hour of every day. This is so annoying!
I have seen other people in the forums having similar problems and they have recommended force stopping the messaging app, clearing the data...blah blah...but that doesn't work. I did a chat with a Verizon rep earlier today for about an hour and still didn't get a fix to my issue before I had to sign off of the chat due to a meeting. She had me delete all my text threads (which I wasn't a fan of), and doing the force stop, clear data, clear cache, etc. none of which worked.
This is making me not like my phone right now.
