I recently upgraded from an iPhone 4 to the Nexus 5 and i'm loving it! when I try to group text over MMS with my friends, who all have iphones, they receive the text just fine over MMS and I can reply, view, all the normal stuff, but every text they get from me start with (no subject) in bold over the normal message. Anyone had this issue before?
anyone know how to fix it?
I have already tried a plethora of messaging apps and made sure my MMS settings are correct and can't seem to find any way to remove the (no message) from the messages.
Any help at all would be appreciated!
Isn't that a iPhone issue then? Group messaging does use MMS and you can send with or without a subject but boldly displaying that there is no subject should be an issue on their end. I get group messages and it never shows "no subject"
Are you using Hangouts or another custom MMS/SMS app? If using custom, try looking for any settings that would say to include subject line with text. If running Hangouts, I checked and there is no setting to include a subject in Group MMS or anything related to it, so the issue resides as mentioned with the iPhone user.
Try enabling data when you receive an MMS.

Hey guys,
I'm wondering if it's possible to send multiple texts/group texts on 7.5 MANGO.
It's for the Samsung Focus.
I did some thread searching and they were all old (WP7). Every time I try the group text/multiple text, it responds with "Can't send"
I was just wondering if anyone has found a fix for this, aside from using the Bulk SMS app.
Thanks!
The count is limited to 10. How many did you add ?
the same, i can not send sms to 2 people on hd 7
In the Messaging settings, turn off 'Group text' and then try.
It worked for me.
With Group text ON, it considers the text messages as MMS, and fails to send.
Here is a silly question but if you send 10 SMS or MMS messages, do you get charged for 10 by your provider of do they all count as one?
Each msg is sent seperately so charges are for each sms

Anyone else experiencing this? Group MMS texts (no pictures) sent out with Hangouts show up on the recipient's phones (N4 and Moto X) as blank pictures. Replies come in just fine for me. I tested out a different messaging app (Textra) and group MMS worked as expected.
I've tried this on two different N5's, both with the ATT Phone APN, and with the same results.
This seems to work fine when sending to iPhones.
I have a different problem with group MMS on hangouts. I start a group with two Iphones using my Nexus 4, and it sends the message as an MMS, but their replies come to me as individual messages. When one of them tried starting a group, his group message came as an individual SMS to me.
I have the same problem as OP. Extremely irritating.
Bump.. This is still happening even with 4.1.1

Hi all..
I'm just kind of taking a shot in the dark here but I've been having an odd problem that has very specific conditions, so here goes..
I am on Aio wireless using a Samsung i9500 with Kitkat. Most of my family are all on StraightTalk wireless.
The problem I have is that my 2 favorite SMS apps seem to somehow have issues getting StraightTalk to download MMS messages I send.
My family members using StraightTalk are able to send MMS messages to me regardless of which texting app they or I use, however, they do not receive my MMS messages if I use the app Textra, or HoverChat to send the MMS. I do not get a failure to send message, the recipients phone just acts as if I have not sent them anything. The thing is, these same 2 apps can send MMS to Verizon customers perfectly fine (I have tested with 2 friends). I know it has to be a problem with these apps as the very same recipients DO get my MMS from the following other apps:
GoSMS
Handcent
Chomp
EvolveSMS
Hello SMS
Sliding SMS
and the default messaging app that came on my phone.
My problem is this.. I have emailed the developers of both apps and tried to explain this but they can't seem to see that there is a problem. (the Textra app dev got me to send a log and the log showed my MMS successfully sending to Aio's MMSC) What I am wondering is, is there anyone else that has Aio wireless and knows someone using StraightTalk that can see if the same issue happens to you? Or does anyone have any ideas what the problem could be and how I can better explain to the developers of these 2 apps so that they may be able to find and fix the issue? I have no idea why StraightTalk would reject an MMS ONLY from a specific app and carrier combination but it is absolutely maddening.
Could these 2 apps be appending some sort of tag or invalid data on the MMS that causes StraightTalk to ignore it and never send the download request to the recipient?
Any help would be appreciated.
Hi All - hope I can find some help!
I am using a Verizon brand S4 on AT&T, runnng 4.4.2. I'm hoping the VZ phone on ATT isn't the root of the problem, so trying to troubleshoot everything else. I have not ever had an iPhone or used iMessaging. I am using the stock messaging app. I do not want use a third party messaging app to avoid this problem, I want to fix the problem.
My first problem is that I am receiving picture texts as group messages. I am the only intended recipient. This always creates a separate, new message thread between myself and the sender from the one we have been texting in. Is there a way to receive pictures in the same "original" thread? (So I don't have to go back and forth from thread to thread to send and receive messages. I want them streamlined.)
Next: For any group message I receive or send (including the above mentioned picture texts which ARE NOT supposed to be group messages) I can see myself as a recipient along with the other people. When I reply to the group message, I receive a text from myself. Why? How do I make it stop? This occurs regardless of replying under the "Group" or "Individual" tab. (When using the group, the message I receive from myself stays in the group thread; when using the individual, the message I receive from myself goes to a separate thread I share with myself. Very annoying.)
Again, I do not want to use a third party app to achieve what I should be able to do in the stock messaging app. My old S3 never presented either of these issues in the stock app.
Any help would be much appreciated!!
For the love of God...why is there always a subject line when I send a MMS to someone? I have turned off this option in settings, yet they still see this when I send a picture or am part of a group message. Very annoying and completely unnecessary
I believe it is a common problem for stock SMS/MMS app on T-Mobile network. Have had this issue since Note 4. I resort to use 3rd party SMS app such as Textra to eliminate the subject line.
Just saw this sorry...damn. Well I'll start using Google messenger then. Thanks
I must be overlooking something cause whenever I send a MMS or group text I don't see a subject line, my N2 was the same way l. On my N2 often when I received a MMS I would see a subject line but not when I send one. I don't see a setting on my N5 to turn off/on subject line.
I didn't see the subject line either but the recipient would. And the option is under messages settings > more settings > multi media
I was going to say I guess it differs by carrier/variant but since you are posting in the Tmo section I assuming you have a Tmo variant. My N920T does not have that setting & I verified with a couple of people that received MMS & group texts that they do not see a subject line from me.
Lol that is weird. Yea I have the T-Mobile variant as well and I have that option. Weird
Yeah that is weird but then again I'm running a stock modified OI5 rom. Not sure if that's why but I don't recall seeing anything about the stock messenger app being modified.
I have the LG G8 thinq phone on TMobile. I've used the LG SMS app but the "Subject: NOSUBJECT" is really annoying and I can't turn it off. See it on/off in group texts and always when a photo is sent. Switching to Google SMS (boring) eliminates the Subject/NOSUBJECT but I'll try Texstra next. There is no setting in the LG SMS to turn it on/off nor do senders (Android Samsung and iPhone) that affects this.
