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

Is there an app to send one exact same text message to a particular person like every one hour or two automatically? Thanks
the closest I could find was this http://www.fido.ca/web/content/faq/faq_text_messaging
Tasker can send messages.

Tasker is a bit complicated to me. Is there any simpler program available?

Can someone please advise how to make my pics I receive via text to not run as a 5 second video? I'm not sure what I did but I'm certain it didn't do this initially.

Are you using stock messaging app or something else? Which ROM?
my mms have been doing this since android 1.1
yeah.
This is how the GSM network sends Android MMS'. If you find a friend with a Sprint or Verizon CDMA Android device, you'll see it just sends as a photo. Crazy, huh?
Actually I believe this is how Samsung devices handle it. Although I can speak for cdma devices, I know my atrix and nexus one didn't do this. Its just houw the stock app works. If you use a different app like go SMS the problem is gone.
I like the landscape view in the stock app which is why I didn't make the switch myself.

Yes I'm using the stock ROM and the original mms app. I guess perhaps it did this since day one but I'm realizing it now lol. Appreciate your responses and I may try a different mms app.

This would be an epic milestone If this was baked into CM. I am so tired of using the Verizon version of SMS due to the fact it is so fugly!!! I've tried all of the third party SMS apps available and Verizon's works almost perfectly but it really is ugly.
I am surprised Google hasn't addressed this short coming with its own SMS app.
Please keep this alive!!!

I am a big fan of Groupme. You can use the app, have messages text to you, or use the web client. The only bad thing is you kind of have to get everyone you want to message on board.

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
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
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.
Sent from my HTC_Amaze_4G using xda app-developers app
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.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
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.

No idea about the moto sms app but i personally tested group mms with the latest liquid rom and it works perfectly. I have not had any issues with it.

Handcent and Go SMS work for group. Or you can unlock and root then install an AOSP 4.2 ROM, 4.2 has Group messaging by default.
Been thinking about doing that. Liquid looks nice.

I love AOSP over TW by absolute leagues. They aren't even comparable IMO.
You can also just use Verizon messages. It handles group messaging without a hitch!

I'm not having any issues with group mms. It has worked well stock and then on several ROMs since then. Good luck.

I can send group messages but they all come back in there own thread. I would like them to stay together like my wife's Moto phone. Handcent SMS seems to do it.

You might try Go too. It always seemed to be the better performing of the two for me. Glad you found a solution!
You can flash AOSP MMS on TW roms, 90% fully functional (some users have issues with iphone messages coming in blank) but personally it has been working perfectly for me.
Check out the themes and apps section, there should be a couple different apks and some modified frameworks
