Galaxy s7 930F - Received group messages are split into individual threads - Samsung Galaxy S7 Questions and Answers

I have the Galaxy S7, 930F international version (Brand new). All works well, except the Messages app splits received group messages into individual threads. I have tried other texting apps and, for one reason or another, concluded that (for me) the stock Messages app would be best for me, if only this one flaw was corrected. Read a lot of threads similar to this but many seemed to address it for USA version. I'd like to maybe update the app, but can't seem to find a way to manually update this particular app (I can manually update nearly all of my stock apps, but this one is not allowed). Anyone have (what seems like) an easy fix. Again, my phone is the 930F international. Country info on the phone references United Arab Emeriates, if that helps. Otherwise, the phone is great!

Have you tried textra?

Try update last release samsung :good:

Thank you. Yes, that's what I've been using, in lieu of the stock app. In fact, I have tried a multitude of replacement apps (you name it, I've tried it). But for one reason or another, they all fall short in something. Textra is not very good on voice-to-text and if I have to send a text while driving, or a long text while golfing, it's something I can't easily do with Textra. But the stock app is excellent on voice-to-text. Also, the stock app uses fewer clicks to locate and attach pics & video. In fact, for my liking, the only thing the stock app misses on is the threading for received group messages. But that's a biggie. Nothing worse than watching a football or basketball game remotely and texting a group of friends, and while you can send out your text in a group text, everyone's replies keeps showing up in a separate individual threads. Their replies (intended for the group) are then mixed in with private text conversations you've previously had with that same person. Ughhh!

Not sure what you mean. By "last release of Samsung" do u mean the latest version of the stock app? I tried to update it and the phone would not recognize that app as being able to manually update. If you mean update to marshmallow, I already have version version 6.0.1

Thank you very much. Does this require me to have a rooted phone? Also, will I lose my data and phone setup when flashing this?

Go into messaging app, hit more (top right corner) then settings, then more settings, them multimedia messages and make sure group conversation is ticked on and I also have auto retrieved ticked on, all other features are turned off. That's what fixed it for me, mine was the same way as yours before I changed those settings, it was very annoying! All is well now!

Seems like whatsapp is serious into getting onto our phones

Those in the whatsapp beta for Android should update your software ASAP, because they just put in push functionality for everyone with a 2.2 phone. Is this the only software so far not from google to actually use the 2.2 push function? (C2DM and the likes do not count)
how is it different to what its doing now?? i shall update soon after i finish charging

It doesn't poll like the old version anymore, and after some testing, I am getting my messages a little faster, because there is usually a 10-20 second delay when the app is sleeping, but this time it's like a 2-3 second after my friend sends me the text via whatsapp.
ahh right so there would be better battery life too??
Is the beta app available? Have they mentioned a release date?
Thanks

Whatsapp is probably one of the most useful apps for someone coming from a blackberry and misses BBMs. The difference is the speed but the main upside is that it's crossplatformed. Also the app is good for people that travel and have an open wifi spot. Free messaging to friends back home is well worth it.

Nope, but it should be within the next few months, it's already very stable other than some of the extra stuff like backgrounds, etc.

Yeah, since I have quite a few friends with an iphone and BB, I'm able to send them messages via my data plan.
AppBrain's Fastweb Installer uses C2DM too for installation of applications from your PC browser.
Anything that uses C2DM is immediately interesting, I'll check it out!

It's not using the same type of 2.2 push unfortunately.
hows it different?
EDIT: also seems like there are sometimes big delays between messages. whatsapp keeps disconnecting in the new version
I had to revert back to an older verison I believe. Newest version yesterday kept logging me off also and messages were stalled until I sent one out then they'd all come in.
Looked on the changelog and they took off the "Push Notifications"
Currently running: v1.0.6138
I'm using whatsapp on 2.1. working pretty well so far. ... thinking of getting 2.2 but no sense UI ROM for hero yet.
can we have a link to the apps apk?
Aww man, they removed push notifications via C2DM and the reason was they need to give google a quota? I have no idea what that means.
http://beta.whatsapp.com/test/7/WhatsApp.html
* google push disabled -- we need quota from google
really, what's the difference/advantage of using C2DM. i dont understand what's going on in the background.
Yepp.... just downloaded the APK from the link provided above... You can download and install it, but when it asks for your display name, you will get a message that says "Unauthorized beta user, DO NOT E-MAIL US", or something like that.
That's too bad because I loved it on my BB to chat with my iPhone friends, you would think that it would be easier and faster to create an app for Android and it would already be out in the market !!
it works!! everyone gets that message just wait till tommorrow and try again and it will work. Heaps of people have had success using this method. dont give up so easily
updated yesterday and they've been approved for the push notification via GOOGLE's c2dm.
Only thing i've noticed is that the app unlike iPhone's version doesn't time out while it's in the background. So it seems like you're always logged in. This could be corrected by a task manager app to kill the app but once you receive a new message it auto logs you on and double check marks the message as read.

[Q] Fresh off the iPhone boat

First off - Apologies if this question has been answered, I look far and wide and searched a few times, but couldn't find the right solution.
Also I just transferred from an iPhone to Android and am quite ecstatic about the power in my hand.
Q 1. I need a modified LogsProvider.apk to clear the text messages from my call log. Any of the files I got from xda don't seem to work for me.
Q 2. Which would be an ideal ROM to use in the infuse? My main phone usage is for regular everyday apps (banking, finance, email, FB etc.), browsing, hot-spot set-up...
Also if I'm using a rooted, unlocked phone would changing (is flashing the right word to use? I'm quite unclear on what flashing means!) the ROM disable or roll-back either of them?
Q 3. Instagram equivalent camera Apps for the okay 8 MP camera which this comes with.
Appreciate the help and thanks so much!

root is a binary in the system and is included in most roms, you can downgrade it or end up with it corrupt and broken but you probably wont loose it entirely.
if the phone is carrier unlocked then that is in the efs partition. it is normally unaffected by rom flashing unless something goes very wrong. you wont loose the carrier unlock.
I don't really know about camera apps in the market. many might not take photos @ 8mp but to be honest it's a total waist of space. I can't really eecomend an app. sorry.
Thanks - any help in the phone log section? How do I disable every message from being shown? I just want to be able to see dialed, received and missed calls.

umm... download a rom
without it??? yeah I don't think logs provider is available on the forum for froyo. I think some of the froyo roms have the mod though.. but it can also be done in the phone.apk I believe. also some of the current gb roms can be set to calls only through the menu button.
If you get on a gb rom I posted a modified logsprovider.apk to remove SMS from the call logs..just sayin
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I997 using xda premium
Most the modded logs providers that are listed are for GB.
Also if you tried to install one, it doesn't automatically take out the messages that are already there but will from that point on.

I believe the froyo infused 1.6 rom has the logs provider mod?

[Q] email app destination prediction

Before the upgrade to Lollipop the email application would predict destinations based on emails received, even if I didn't have them in my contacts.
For instance If I received a mail from someone new called "John Doe" even if I didn't have it in my contacts. If I started a new mail and started typing in the To: "Joh... I would get a suggestion for this guy address or similar ones, including the matching contacts in my contact list.
Is there any way to retrieve this behaviour? Why has Sony/Google remove such thing? In a day to day work environment is very annoying to have to add every single person I receive emails from to my contact list.
Thanks in advance!
It is not removed. And always after a major upgrade it is best to do a factory reset.
Seriously that's the only option?
We have several cases in the office, including boss, and I'd like to keep android, but if what you say is true... sounds very unreliable for work.

Give it a try, crossing from KK to L is a major firmware upgrade. A factory reset is necessary.
My email app works great, all the functions.
It is not unreliable, it's a must, after that it will be ok.
So I recommend a clean install.
P.S.
You can try to go to Settings : Apps : All : Email - and clear data, before you follow my first advice.
Thanks for the advice, if it works for you, certainly worth a try, at lease clearing data, even if I have to configure all the accounts again )

sorry for the delay, as I had the testing mobile getting fixed. As you say it works, or so it does with a mobile recently reset to factory status.
Thanks again for your time.
Now I'm into trying to find how to make whatsapp not using the lolillpop semi-drop down notifications, just to show with the icon in the notification bar as it did in kitkat (lollipop changed many things indeed).

No problem, I had a little vacation myself.
About the notification, try a third party app from PlayStore.

It's really the new "heads-up" notification method in lollipop, that is mandatory with no way to disable it unless you use a modded solution.
Problem is our phone has little modding yet. Will keep an eye for options.

MHA-L29 - US Ver / Stock Messaging App

I have been all through the settings, for the life of me I can not find a setting when sending a group text to actually send the message to the group, rather then sending everyone I selected in the group a single message. I downloaded a third party app but I like the stock all. Is there a setting somewhere I am missing?
Thanks in advance
Same problem here since December on international MHA-L29C636. Only workaround I have found is the Textra app. If you get an answer I would love to hear it.

I appreciate the suggestion, but that option does not even appear in the advanced settings of the stock messaging app on this phone. The phone is an MHA-L29C636 running build 158.
Well, I have the US version...I never had any issues with group messaging....though I never paid any real attention to it. I just updated my phone to the new US build...

Question Help me! Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra Call Recording not available

Hello guys!
Recently I bought Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. BUT there is no way that I can record calls. I'm from Bulgaria and it is some kind of regulation crap. I mean when I go to the options in the dialer app the option for call recordings is not present at all.
Most of my calls are for work with tons of instructions about this and that and I take them either from the car or somewhere without access to notes and pens etc. On my previous phone I found an app that enebled native call recording without rooting somehow... It was P30 Pro and the app in question I found here in XDA. However for my new phone I can't find anything... I tried all of the free and paid Google Play apps but they record only me and nothing from the person I'm talking with... Help me please!!!
Somewhere I read that I need to change the CSC code. Whatever it means... No idea how tho... Other thing I read was to root the phone. I've never done that as well... Basically I'm thinking of going to some randome phone repair shop and ask them to find me a solution whatever it takes... But first I decided to ask here.
If you have any idea what to do please include some instructions for dumb people like me with no experience in fiddling with phones etc..
Big thanks in advance!
I should probably tell you that I've tried this
https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...cord-phone-calls-from-the-phone-line.1441643/
And lots of things that are already written here as suggestions but... nothing....
I am trying out CallApp Contacts. So far it seems to work for 2 way recording. I am in the US and we do not have call recording here.
First of, do you know your phone model and CSC code? You should be able to spot it in Settings ->About phone -> Software information under Build number and Service provider software information.
Samsung only activates native call recording on the India firmware, so you will probably have to download that version of the firmware.
Do you still have said old phone (P30 Pro) & the download for the app on it?
Just asking cause you could send the app to your S22 from the other phone...

Yes I still have the app. I tried to install it but it returns some error. I'll attach a screenshot here.
In my previous phone Xiaomi Mi11 Ultra, TruePhone app work perfectly with call record's, but now with Samsung S22 Ultra and Android 12 don't work.
For me also call record's is very important, but i don't have the time and experience to change regions with Sammobile to make the call records work.
I am also from Bulgaria and have tried most of the available recording offers.
Her are some options
Non Root :
Change CSC. You needs paid tool, search SamKey and you will find lots result on XDA. This option is OK if you don't want to root but here your CSC will needs to change and network optimization won't be same as your own CSC
Root :
Modify CSC and enable call record, bit difficult if you are not pro witn modding
Use a ROM with Auto call record option (check development section)

Thanks for the suggestion! Maybe will try to do that... But can you give me some more info about what it means that network optimization won't be the same as my own CSC? Does that mean that I'm gonna lose connection here and there or some kind of fees?
Also how this change of the CSC code is going to affect my warranty?
csc change will void your warranty, and yes it is possible that your call, internet connection over mobile data may not be as good as it was/is on your current csc, but not a guarantee, you should check to find out if your prepared to sacrifice warranty for call recording, you could always reflash your original firmware

Well... The essentials of my work is talking on the phone and usually that includes tasks that I need to do with all of the details about them. We are working on communicating through e-mail but we are not there yet. The warranty is not that big of a concern but potential problems with the reception etc ... now that scares me...
Thanks for your time! I'll think about it... If you come up with something that is less risky please share!
My phone doesn't have call recording in the call app, but I just tried this one after some research, configured it, and made a call and it works
