I thought this was something useful like Palringo or eBuddy...
Do they actually think I'm going to get all my contacts to drop texting or yahoo msg or Facebook chat, etc to joint this tripe? What a useless piece of...

So I was under the impression that the group messaging feature was somewhat like that of the iphones and I found out that this is not the case. When I tested this feature out by texting my moms iphone and a text free number it came up on my end as a group message and when texted myself back using my moms iphone it came up as an individual message. Im going to go out on a limb and guess that it should not be like this at all. Is this a bug or something? Or does anyone else have this problem?
No one else is getting there group messages pulled into separate threads when getting a text message?
I'm also experiencing this bug

So what are the chances to this being fixed? or is there a way to report it to samsung?
same thing to
i have it too
OK two questions that hopefully won't take long to answer. Swype for Droid charge available? Second, I have the capability to start a group conversation by texting multiple people. All answers appear in one thread and everyone can see the other responses(on my razor). My wife(charge) wants to be able to do the same. Is there a way to get that messaging app on my wife's phone? Any other suggestions. Thanks for the help.

go sms has the ability to either send group texts individually or all together as one it's in the settings as far as the stock app goes if it's not in the settings it's not there. I haven't used stock in over a year so I couldn't tell you
One thing that kills me about stock touchwiz is the lack of group texting. I don't want to switch to a 3rd party SMS app, but I am thinking that is what I have to eventually do.

Im sure there is a way to load TW messenger to work on other roms. But how many people actually continue to have group conversations thru text?
Group texting like send one text to multiple people? I do it all the time even with mms's

I wish stock mms had the capability, but it's not a huge deal to me because Verizon messages works very well. You can even disable stock and Verizon messages will still work.

Ya Im confused too, touchwiz mms allows you to send to multiple people. I guess they mean keeping it all grouped cause the touchwiz one replies all come in to seperate threads?
If your rooted you can switch out the stock mms app for a aosp one, i.e. themed and stock

it isnt really "coping" when I have never wanted to group text. facebook tells all my friends what i want them to know about...
It drives me nuts when I get those group texts from iPhone users. I love how android does it, separate threads

Thank you. One iPhone user sends you a group text and then you gotta get bugged by every other iPhone user replying to the original sender. One of the most annoying things in the world. Sad thing is, they think it's cool.

I guess it's handy to the sender. I assume they haven't been on the other end though.
Is it even in option on a "stock" android phone. I've had moto, htc and now Samsung, I don't ever remember it being an option.

I can't stand the stock msg app. GoSMS Pro is so much better imo.
tap'n
It separates the threads to each individual who responds. So if the group is 6 people, I get 6 different texts from 6 different people. HTC never had this problem! Coming from the rezound. Lol

It is standard now on aosp 4.2. I used to think it was annoying, but now after using it with friends, I see why it is useful personally.

It is honestly driving my crazy! I HATE tw does not support this and it is really annoying. A lot of my friends use group messaging and If i were to reply to the messages being sent I would have to reply to each individual person seeing how group messages appear in separate threads for me.

I dont think those links really help. From my understanding the framework has to be changed and it is only fixed in android 4.2 anyways so im not sure those links are to helpful sadly =(
Use a different messaging app if you don't like the stock.

Ok I have a question. I tried using GOSMS and When I tested out the group messaging feature my friends had told me that they had gotten the message as an individual message towards them and that it did not appear to them as a proper group message. Is there a certain feature inside gosms that you have to have checked in order to get this to work properly?

Well yes I have and I honestly could not spot a thing about group messaging. I could of easily missed something seeing how I tend to do that at times but I checked several times and still was un able to find a setting related to it.

yeah i ditched it. i mean i tried to use it. i really did, but it needs some work... ok it needs a ton of work and maybe another overhaul.
im using 8sms works nicely
I ditched it right away. Using the AOSP MMS.apk instead.
I'm using it, but mostly because I use hangouts messages over sms most of the time. Plus in getting use to it for once they incorporate Google voice since I have been using that for a few years already.

A little laggy when opening but it's fine. I like it.

gosms for me always
I'm considering using AOSP MMS application. I do not use hangouts for anything. Although I have no issues replying to SMS, I find composing a new SMS cumbersome
Hangouts sucks to me... Not sure why they removed the stock messaging app and also why they removed the stock browser as well. I've been using Textra for SMS. It's lightweight with a bit more customization options than 8sms or the CM app.
I tried using Hangouts texting for about a week and then switched to ChompSMS which I had been using prior to getting the Nexus 5. The one thing I missed when I ditched my iPhone and got a Galaxy Nexus a few years ago was the jailbreak texting app called BiteSMS. ChompSMS is basically BiteSMS for Android, created by the same developer. Have tried other texting apps but have not found anything that is better for me.
Ditched it. I don't like having SMS and Chat in the same screen. I think that hangouts needs to implement tabs. Hangouts | SMS at the top... this would make managing SMS a bit easier. I went back to Handcent SMS.
ditched it from day one as well haha. using textra
I'm having no issues with hangouts, but then again, before hangouts, I only used the stock messaging app.
