Similar group texting app - General Questions and Answers

I was looking for a group texting app similar to the sidekick 4g, where it connect the group of people you send a text to, but then when one person replies, all the group gets it aswell. ( chat room style texting I guess lol) thanks everyone I've been searching but no luck, also I'm not rooted,

International texting app?

Hi,
I've been using HeyWire for free international texting and now they suddenly withdrew the int'l coverage. Am wondering if there's an alternative out there?
Regards,
Nibras.
Yeah I installed it about 10 minutes ago and there's no international sms, they really should edit their description.

Yup and a lot of people seem to be disappointed. They might bring it back if a large user base objects it. Btw, did you find an alternative?
Try What's App. It's got a funny name, but it works.

What's App has no SMS support, right? It's an IM platform, isn't it? Something like Kik messenger or Blackberry messenger.

wifi chat?

First off thanks for any help...
I would like some help with something I think would be great for my droid. I am not sure if it is out as an app or not, but if it is not I think someone could make some cash.
Here is what I am looking for...
I would like to have my droid as a wifi hotspot ( yes easy ), but on top of That I would like a hands free chat program. I ride with my brothers on our motorcycles all the time. We keep wondering if there is an easy way to chat back and forth. I thought if there was a program out to do that I would check it out. Well so far I have not found one. All chat programs I found are not for just local chat. They all seem to use the net. We would just like it to be only on wifi between us....we would use our blue tooth head sets to hear and talk..
Anyone know of a program we can use? Could any of you programers write an app?
Hope I can find help..... Thanks

Group SMS/MMS

My iPhone and Blackberry friends can group sms/mms in chat room format. Meaning when they text the group everyone receives it and when someone replies everyone in the group also sees it. For me, I get the messages individually and can only send them individually. I can group text them in a separate thread but they only see it as a individual message.
Any ideas?
Android does not have this function. There "may" be an app for it but I have never looked. I have seen the question asked plenty of times tho.

Try KakaoTalk from android market. Very popular. Only thing is that everyone has to have the app in order to send or receive.

Emoji? Instagram?

Ok i am coming from an iPhone 4s, I am planning on switching to the htc one s. I have read in another thread it will work on at&ts 3g now i am wondering about emoji. As you guys know iPhone supports this does ICS support it as well will i be able to see it in instagram/twitter etc? Also i had a samsung skyrocket with a ICS rom and instagram wouldnt upload pics and crashed all the time. A lot of my firends have iPhones i just dont want to be left in the dark with emojis its almost like a secrect society lol
Instagram works fine, the vanilla ICS mms app referred to as "AOSP mms" has emojis in some versions. Not been on a Sense ROM long enough to remember if HTCs MMS app has them
You can always use handcent app, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.handcent.nextsms

got no crash since im usin instagram with trickdroid roms.
with stock rom there was a problem with the cam in landscape mode, i think.
I understand you can see them in texts but are there apps to see emoji in twitter & instagram ?
Android has an OS doesn't support emoji. There are alternatives for texting (Go SMS and Handcent) that will allow you to send and receive emoji like the iphone, but they only worn with in the texting program. You won't be able to see them on twitter or instagram.

That's a conversation i had the day with my friend that its annoying to see so much of it on my twitter now and not know what black diamonds and upside down question marks are in reply to my tweets lol
Lol bro you shouldn't worry about some silly pictures. If you like the phone, you like the phone.

Who cares about emoji when you're gonna have the best pictures on instagram thanks to the greatest camera on a smartphone.
If you absolutely MUST have emoji tho, flashing MIUI will do the trick...

You probably need to get the Canadian version, I'm somewhat sure that the European one only supports one of the ATT 3G bands.

This. Mine works great in large cities, but in towns and even some small cities it's pretty frustrating.

Leaving a group chat /hangout

Hey people,
I have a lot of friends who are iPhone users and send group messages. Is there anyway in 4.4 to leave the conversations and stop receiving everyone's texts? I want to interact solely with the person who sent the text, not everyone who has been included.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
but your not "in" anything, your simply recieving text messages from a group, i doubt you could control that just from a logic standpoint since other people are actively sending to all of you.
I could be wrong however.

I can send individual texts, but group mms with iPhones is not working for. Me as of now.
When a person includes you in a group text on an iPhone, there does not seem to be a way to stop receiving everyone's replies. It's like receiving a "reply all" message from way too many people.
