As of 10/3/23, I am still having this problem often, but not every time I sent a group text. To recap since some of the suggestions have covered old ground--it happens in both Google Messages and Samsung Messages. I have a 6-month-old, topline phone (S23 Ultra) with plenty of data storage. I frequently delete old texts. Other posters with the same problem on this thread include both Samsung and iPhone users.New info: I was out of state a couple of weeks ago and it did not happen there. Interesting….I’m going to contact T-Mobile to see if they can help, because the problem clearly seems to be theirs. This is obviously an issue for more than just me.
@brandyvee No, still having problem intermittently. Also some replies to group texts come in as individual messages with no subject and hang on downloading. Sometimes they then pop back over into the group and sometimes they never load. It's a huge problem for me.
@HeavenM Thanks, I’ll try that next time it happens.
@HeavenM Thank you for the suggestions, but I don’t think they’ll help. I’m not sending pictures, I update apps automatically and any time I see updates available--and I keep the phone updated too, my phone is a new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra with almost 2/3 of both memory and storage available, I winnow my texts regularly, and the other messaging app I have tried (Google Messages) is disabled if it’s not the default so there are no messages there.I do maintain about 10 group text strings because they’re all groups I communicate with regularly, but I delete everything else within a couple of days. (Side note: I wish Samsung Messages would permit naming groups, as Google Messages does--it would be SO much easier to figure out which group I want to communicate with.)I also have an occasional issue where a reply to a group comes in as an individual text (contrary to my group settings) with a blank subject and hangs on “Downloading.” That plus the problem outlined above really lead me to thi
Thanks, fireguy, but I don’t think that’s the issue or it would happen more often with group texts. This is intermittent, and I use data all the time so it is turned on.
@sonoma1983 I also saw two different credit amounts while trying to order--$70 and $120. But I realized it’s because I had an extra $50 available for having signed up in advance for pre-order. If you reserved a pre-order earlier and try to order the phone using the link in the email or text you should have received saying “It’s time,” you should see the $120 (one for $50 and one for $70)--at least I do.That said, I still can’t order after more than 24 hours of trying. As I said in my original post, the process hangs when Samsung attempts to confirm with T-Mobile. I’m beginning to wonder if T-Mobile is sabotaging it because they want me to order through them--for $500 less trade-in value than what Samsung is quoting, not to mention the $120 Samsung accessories credits. No, thanks!Grrr!
I’d love to get one if only I could! Been trying all day through the Samsung pre-order program, and the process keeps hanging when Samsung connects to T-Mobile to verify my trade-in and existing line. IOW, the problem doesn’t seem to be Samsung, but T-Mobile.My original offers had better be honored, or I will be one unhappy customer!
