MMS Messaging Buggy After OTA - Verizon HTC One (M8)

When I send a group message the recipients get them as individual messages.

No one?

That's not normal. The recipients should get your group messages as group messages, not individual messages.

What messaging app are you using? I was using Hangouts but switched back to stock Messaging as Hangouts was sending and receiving multiple messages randomly and was slow/laggy. The stock app works much better.

Stock messaging app

Need an app to archive my texts

OK so I have a lot of clients that are constantly texting me. When I get done with the job, I like to delete the text just to keep my messages application nice and clean. Sometimes I will get a client texting me again referring to our previous conversation but I'm lost because I don't have any texts to refer to as I deleted the conversation. Can anybody refer me to an application that will archive the text messages and allow me to remove the conversation but have the conversation come back up if that person texts me again?

I use that and it works great. It just creates a Label under Gmail, and they're all saved there. You can even restore them all back to your phone as SMS if you want to.
I use it as well. I love it. Has anyone ever developed a good app for backing up MMS?

I use SMS Backup+ also and it's great. It backs up SMS, MMS and the call log to Gmail folders so they're searchable.

Hangouts 2.0 disable group mms?

Hey,
so I'm currently in Vietnam and group mms doesn't work out here. Is there a way to disable it? In the stock messaging app, if I sent a group message, it would just send a single sms to each person [which is what I want to happen], but in hangouts it tries to send an mms and it just gets stuck.

This is a generalised issue which all the users except USA (?) are facing. .
My group sms also get converted to MMS and that really pushes the bill high. Google needs to fix it. For the time being I am relying on third party app.

MMS Messaging

So, weird thing I've noticed about MMS messaging. Every time someone from a group sends a new text, I get the notification as normal but when I bring down the notification center and click on the text, it takes me to that persons individual thread of messages instead of the group that the text actually came from. I always have to click the back button and then click on the group message to see the new text.
Thoughts?

I think that's 'normal'. It always worked like that on my Rezound. Haven't had any group messages on the M8 yet.

Thats the stock messaging app for you. Same way on the M7. Hence why I switched to Hangouts or 8SMS.
Since posting this, I've tried several other SMS apps and have found that Hello SMS handles MMSv very well. Is also just a really nice looking app. Very simple.

Any one else having any group messaging problems since the new firmware? Along with the annoyance mentioned above it seems like when replying to a group chat... the messages go to each individual member and not the entire group (chat). Ideas? Thank you

Open messaging app > settings > MMS settings > make sure "group conversation" is checked. For me it was unchecked by default. That's the only thing I can think of!

Yeah.That doesn't work fine on stock messaging. Maybe, I'll try that as well.
I'm also having trouble getting mms Messages. I missed a couple and I'm also noticing that my 4G symbol changes from small symbol to larger one with the arrows below it. I assume this is trying to download the message over cellular. This happens about once a minute
