So my parents share Facebook together. One has iPhone and one has an Android . They both getting these weird text message like about porn and stuff. It's most likely my old father used his phone to look up porn or something. Can i remove this from their phone or something?

Yep. Pretty straight forward.
I'm curious as to why sharing a facebook page correlates to this issue. Are the texts coming from the same number or different numbers? Are both phones getting the same texts from the same number(s)?

I've been getting alot of advertisment text messages lately, especially at 4 or 5 am which is extremely annoying. I remembered back on winmo, I can access my message options and there's an option to "deny advertisement messages" and I have been ad free for the duration of my phone's use.
Now that I switched over from Winmo to Android, I can't seem to find an option or a way to block those damn texts. I'm doing a test trial of an app called Blacklist, but I dont know if I will still get my text message allowance counted against me. I'm interested in finding a way to block it before it even gets sent to my phone so i will never ever see it.
If anyone has any suggestions I would really really appreciate it!
Thanks!
so no one here has ANY problems with getting advertisment text messages at all? Am I just painfully unlucky or someone just wants to mess with me?
If the text messaging is bothering your then first thing you have to do block the no. which is sending the text messages to you continuously.. If the no. are more then you gotta tell the cce to stop sending any brand text messaging promotion to my no. They will do it and your problem will be solved.

There is a good way to block the advertising messages

So I can send mms no problemo however I cannot receive from particular people. Those particular people tend to be iphone 4 users. People with the older iphone seem to be fine. It's really only like 4 people but it's annoying.
My carrier is Wind Mobile.
android 2.3.4
kernel 2.635.7
all up to date and what not.

Personally, not getting messages from iPhone users would be a feature and not a problem...
However, I would call into tech support as this seems to be a carrier issue and not a phone issue.

LOL
Can they receive mms from you? Maybe their phone is sending it in a format your phone doesn't understand? Maybe iPhones can only talk to other iPhones because they think they're better than everyone else.

it's the opposite for me. I can receive pictures from my friend with an iphone, but they can't receive pictures from me. it says that the pictures are in a format that doesn't work or something
I forgot the details but reading your reply made me remember something. I remember in sending a text with a picture attachment, sometimes my phone would want to send it in a format that android phones understands as a slide show. I forgot how to get it, if possible, to send it as a regular picture. Don't send multiple pictures in one text, that will most definitely send it as a slide show. I forget if it's opening up the messaging program and select through menu to get an attachment or to use something like root explorer or quickpic and hold down on the file and select send then choose messaging. All pictures seem to be compressed heavily when sending with a text. If there was a picture that I didn't want compressed, I would just send it as an email to the other person if possible. I forgot what file types are allowed to be sent with a mms text. Try different combinations and methods of sending it, you might stumble across the way that sends it as a jpg or jpeg or whatever and not a slideshow pic. I think my htc evo and evo shift were notorious for that. I would try to send a pic to someone with a samsung android and they didn't know what to do with it or it was unknown file type or what. I think I figured out a way around that but forgot what I did.
I have the same issue with my wife's iPhone. If there is text and an image in one message I just get the text, as a caption, with a blank image. If she does not include text, I can see the image fine. So when she sends me a pictures I have to ask her to not put any text as a "caption."
I think it's possibly this is because iPhone assumes everyone only uses iPhones too. Typical of Apple philosophy to implement their own standards instead of universal standards.
If that's true then it's good to know for future reference.
I was just wondering if we will be able to ever get true group messaging like the setting applies within the messaging app. One feature I liked in the iphone (I think iOS5) was when I have a group convo with someone all of the messages from the different people will appear in the same thread. In the Galaxy S 3 it sends it out as a group message but when I receieve the message it goes into its own separate thread and not just that I would only get the text from the person that started the group message. Is this a simple glitch or is the whole option just really misleading?

Exactly! which is why im just hoping an update comes soon! (even though Verizon sucks when it comes to that) or at least a modder finds a way to fix this problem if thats even possible that is
I use GoSMS, works great, not as clean interface as standard messaging app but having a MMS is more imporatnt to me.
VZ Messages
I use the VZ Messages app from the Play store (free). It works perfectly and has pop-ups. It seemed to work much better with group SMS than GoSMS did.
Definitely check out groupme. www.groupme.com and the app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...251bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5ncm91cG1lLmFuZHJvaWQiXQ..
It lets people with dumb phones get in on the action. Everybody texts once central number, and texts are redistributed from the same number to everybody else and includes the name of the sender (which you can assign...pretty fun)
Downside being that people have to accept the group and add this number to contacts as "Bros" or whatever you want it to be. Couldn't be more effective for my needs though.

Does it work for MMS as well? I couldn't see where it said one way or another on their website.

I'm in 2 group texts with 5 in each. I get on average of 60+ texts a day and the damn program LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGS. I would love an alternative.

I don't like Groupme because it is a different phone number. I do however like the interface.
I use go sms but it doesn't group real well, I always assumed it was the way they responded. maybe I'll check out be messenger.

I dont understand why their is no group message support for our phones. I can create a group message but if i get a message from someone in that group it sends it me via their phone number not in the group message. Also if one of my friends makes a group message and im in it im not a part of it. I just get a text that acts like a slide show from their number. It works wonders on the iphone but yet on the most advanced phone they cant get a simple feature to work. So does anyone know a good txt message app that lets me do proper group messages?

The only way to get the full group messaging functionality that I have found is using the Verizon Messages app. Its a little ugly but it works perfectly especially when group messaging with iphone users. Hope that helps.
Cause theirs not.

Go SMS Pro does the trick for me. I refuse any app from Verizon if I can.

Me and my friends just use groupme. works with iphone, blackberry and android. Plus there is a web app.
Is there any way I can get group mms/sms on any ROM?
I am getting messages from people I have no clue who they are talking about things I have no idea.
Thanks.
Are you wanting to send them?
I have noticed I sometimes get random messages from people who use an iphone and use the group text. Annoying as hell.

no, i want them to be grouped together.
some of the aokp roms have it enabled but if you are stock, download sms pro free from the market. That app has group msgs enabled.
The way I see this debacle...
Whenever some dude/dudette sends a message to multiple people where I am one of those people...
I get ALL of the replies to the original message
I guess it's like a thread on a forum where the original message is the OP and all replies are sent to everyone who the ORIGINAL MESSAGE was sent.
SUBSEQUENTLY: whenever anyone replies, I get a "who is this" message... It's sort of like that "REPLYALLCALYPSE" that happened at NYU HAHA.
Will everybody please, JUST SHUT THE FART UP?
