Hi,
I am a new user of Android, Just purchased a WildFire after Touch2. Am feeling very difficult to use conversation view of sms. Is there any tweak through which i can disable it and use it as normal sms?
Regards,
naveen
I just got a Droid X from a TP2 and have been asking the same question since I got it. I always set it to "Classic" on my TP2. I need an Inbox and Outbox. Anyone?
Also if anyone can please advice how can i send a message to multiple people. I am finding it very difficult to work on Wildfire. Please help!!!

Go SMS.
Go to menu -> settings -> advanced tab -> send settings. Check 'MMS group chat'.

No.
Any of the 3rd party SMS apps will do this. Simply search "SMS" in Play Store and it will give you hits.
Specific apps that i've used are: GOSMS, Handcent and ChompSMS

I've been looking for a solution for this too so decided to check out Chomp on your suggestion. I can't find an option to enable group sms like there is in GoSMS. Am I missing something?

Try Handcent, it definitely supports group SMS.

Try GroupMe, I use it to talk to friends on iPhones and it works great :good:
Why don't you try something like GroupMe or Beluga. I used GroupMe and it worked phenomenally.
Does anyone know of an app that unifies your messages (texts, email, gmail,ect..) I would like one inbox to manage everything. THanks

In 99.9999% of cases I do not want to message someone on google+. Is there anyway I can remove all the google+ integration from the hangouts messaging app and use it only for sms? Or do I need to get a different sms app?
Sorry, just got the Nexus 5 last weekend so I'm still learning everything about it.
get a different sms app. There are many on the play store you can use, you aren't limited to using Hangouts if you do not want to, for SMS.

hold down the contact you want to remove then select "remove" or "delete", I forget which it is but that's how it's accomplished.

In the settings in the app just sign out. It'll be SMS only at that point.

Yup, you hold the contact name and select "Hide contact".

I agree with you. I use the textra app precisely because it doesn't go through hangouts or Google.

So you're saying there is still a chance you will?

Just in case other people find this thread, trying to avoid all the google+ stuff, when using Hangouts for SMS, Google has since released Messenger. Seems to have a few kinks to iron out, still, but it has to be better than Hangouts. Plus, I hate having to say, "hangouts," all the time.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging
The problem with signing out of hangouts is that I don't get hangouts messages from the web app. I want to receive both, just without the suggestions for messaging random google+ people as suggested by google.
Hi guys,
I'm trying to migrate all my text messages including threaded group MMS from my Nexus 4 to my new Nexus 5. On my N4, I was using the stock messaging app, not hangout as my default messaging service.
I used My Backup Pro to migrate all the stuff over. It worked, sorta. All times on my threads were set to "5:02am" which is probably when the transfer finished. Therefore they're all chronologically jumbled.
Furthermore the MMS threads didn't show up properly. I would only see my response in the group thread.
PS. I downloaded the stock messaging app to use on my Nexus 5. And all these problems are shown on that app. Would you think using Hangout as default will change this?
I was wondering whether you guys had similar experiences and if you know any better ways to go about doing this again.
Ben
I use SMS Backup and Restore. Never had an issue with it. Timestamps are all what they should be.

Yup! Just make sure you check the box for MMS. I think it's free so there's no reason to not try it.

Cool, I'll give it a shot. Are you MMS group threaded or just pictures?
Okay, so I deleted the stock Android messaging app from my N5 and used Hangout as my default messaging app. And it seems like everything got transferred properly. Timestamps are all okay.
The only problem now are group MMS threads. When I open it, it just shows my responses. All the group participant responses don't show up.
Any clues?
I attached two pics to illustrate what I'm talking about. The group thread MMS only contains my response and the participant's response it buried in their SMS thread.
Aussie user on --> MHA-L29C636B158 here and I've currently got a case going with Huawei for an issue where SMS's sent via Google Voice are not logged to any SMS app. They send successfully but there's no trace of them in Huawei Messaging app or any SMS app.
Have confirmation from another Aus user on same firmware that they have the issue. Wondering if it's a problem on other variants? Can't seem to find the issue mentioned in any posts here on XDA.
Cheers all

To send SMS with GV u either have to use the Google voice app or hangouts. Which one are u using? What do u mean logged? U mean once u hit send it sends but doesn't show in the app?

Yep, the latter. Using Google voice and then voice command "sms contact_name".
Once you've told Google Voice to send the SMS it has indeed been sent successfully but that particular message doesn't exist in any SMS messaging app. Go to Huawei Messaging or any other SMS app such as Android Messages you have installed and the GV sent SMS doesn't exist...

Thanks virtyx. Did uninstall/re-install fix the issue? What firmware r u on? I send and receive sms's from the car a fair bit with Google voice so it's a bit annoying to have no record of sent sms's done with GV. Apart from this am loving the phone Cheers

I'm on stock c636b172
I didn't reinstall don't really need it.
I just use the voice icon in my messaging app to send it, works that way.

Yep righto. Guess I shouldn't be too excited about B172 possibly fixing the issue then! (which I'm hoping to get OTA soon).
If anyone else can comment on if they've seen this issue (or do a quick sms via GV for me to test it) it'd help me hugely with my case with Huawei which is currently moving at a snails pace... Twice already I thought I'd gotten through level 1 but it seems that's where it's still at...
Cheers
