I started this thread because since 6.1 one came out and sms is threaded. I have wanted to have mms/sms combined and both be threaded together like what I had with the palm messaging app.
I guess its just personal preference I dunno but I want to have my entire conversations whether they be pics etc to all be together. I have searched for awhile to find a arcsoft that works.
Is anyone else interested in this?
I too would love to have sms/mms all threaded together. It would sorta make messaging a bit more seemless. what version of arcsoft will do this?
personaly i would like to see the results of a poll done on this question...
your preferance:
threaded sms
threaded sms/mms (combined)
non threaded (but combined sms/mms)
non threaded (seperate sms/mms folders)
Yes plz
I think it is so much better to have them together.
Would love to see it it is cheaper in South Africa to send long MMS text than it is to send long text(SMS) messages.
It has been one of my favourite things so far when test the new WM 6.1 ROMS
It seems I finally may have found one that works. I haven't had a lot of time to test it but it appears to send and receive MMS fine. I probably should start another topic. I can't get the voice message part of it to work I'm not sure what app I need to make that work but it looks cool.
Makes no sense having them separate.
I'm getting my ass kicked here at work so its taking me awhile to get things going but so far today I have sent and received at least 10 MMS pics etc and they all have went through fine and are threaded..
I have searched many forums and the market to no avail so I was hoping someone here could help.
Is there any way we, android users, can get a function similar to iOS4 users with their "group mms" option. To those of you not familiar, its basically a chat room like feature that uses your text messages. For example, if I were to create a new text on the iphone, I could add more people to it. Once it's sent out, if anyone replies, that reply will go to all of those in the group and so forth. In essence, a chat room is created where everyone receives a copy of everyone else's text.
At any rate, a few of my friends have iphones and I was hoping to be able to communicate with them in such a manner but neither the stock messaging application or handcent has this function. The few options that might work would involve having all of my friends download some new app along with myself and even that doesn't work all the time.
ANY help would be much appreciated.

this would be helpful for me also as i communicate with multiple people. As of right now i just email stuff out to them so we can all see the replies. To have this on text would be awsome.
I would also like to setup groups so i can just select 1 group to text. I had this on my treo pro and it disappeared when i went to these new smart phones.
As far as I know, there is no such feature currently available without the use of third-party applications (that use data to do it).
Sorry
Maybe someone will build that feature eventually lol
The iPhone's ability to 'group chat' is just Apple being smart about the fact that MMS message details contain all recipients. They simply made their SMS app able to receive all the recipients and reply to all as a group.
An Android app like Go SMS or HandCent (or Google's stock app) could easily be modified to work just like this, if someone would do it.

I wish someone would do it already, I felt pretty stupid the other day when I was in a group text with a couple people with iPhones and didn't know it.
App in the market called groupme works perfect even though this thread is super old lol.

Have you tried GO Sms Pro it has what you are looking for built in. Gave that a Try
I've been using GOsms pro for a while and i don't see this feature listed anywhere. Where is it?
I've have also been looking for this feature. The sad part is that it was possible on my old blackjack 2. All of the messaging apps that I have used so far including go sms and handcent only allow you to send texts to more than one person in one conversation, but when they reply, it goes back to being separated. Group chat should be implemented in android like it is on the iPhone.

bump for this.
I woke up this morning to a group chat with 3x iPhone 4S users and I had to reply to each of them individually.
I use go SMS also...
I think you have to be the one to start the group chat, just start a new text message and put in all the numbers/names u wanna text, hit send. it'll automatically group them together in 1 text
bump this i have the same deal , a bunch of friends have iphones...
The sidekick 4g has this feature built in. My friend group chats with me and other friends all the time. To tell u the truth it gets annoying having so many texts at the same time lol
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA Premium App
Any one have solutions for this? A lot of my friends use this on iPhone and its annoying not to participate. So I'll get a text and if I respond it only goes back to the originator, while I then get what look like individual texts from others that are clearly responding and going to everyone, and I'm assuming my responses would only just go back to the original writer. Even if I could just see everyone included and then include them manually I'd be ok.
Does anyone have any suggestions? I also have this problem, and its really annoying me. For me group texts are split into each persons single sms thread, when I would like them to be grouped. Do any of the devs think that they could come up with a solution? Honestly, I would be willing to pay to get this solved
I currently have a thunderbolt and it has SOAB rom from BAMF. With this rom I can see the people on the group list. However, when i was on a different rom I would only see the sender. Since now I can see the the group, I can respond in the thread and join the chats and not be left out. the way I did it was to respond to thread in an mms format. If you guys notice, the iphone group comes in as an mms. So my question to you guys, do you see all the people on the list when you receive that message? If so try replying in a mms format. You can do that by putting a dot in the subject line and it'll convert it to mms. The only annoying part about it is yo have to manually be converting a mms message all the time. If you dont, the sms message will go to them in a seperate thread. I tried to find an app that give you the option to chose a message wheither mms or sms without adding a subject line. The only app i found was verzion messages app which auto converts group messages into mms. However, the app doesnt work all the time. I hope it works for you guys cuz I am really happy now since I dont feel left
Mine does that, although to reply to all u have to long press and select reply to all, which I think is better the iPhone does it automatically,
On sense 3.0 messaging, but sense 1 allowed for group Txts to be sent, so I imagine it had a reply all as well

Hello all,
I have an issue that I no is not unique, so hopefully someone can help me out here. I need a messaging app that is compatible with the group messaging that is in iOS 5 (iMessage). My gf has an iPhone 4s and regularly creates group messages, which get very annoying for me because I cannot follow the conversation or provide my input, unless i decipher the individual messages and respond to everyone in the group individually. I have tried Handcent SMS (my daily driver), Go SMS Pro, Chomp SMS, and the stock messaging app. None of them seem to replicate it.
There are a few others that I have found through my endless searching such as WhatsApp, but that requires everyone to be using that same app. This wouldnt be an issue for me, except for the fact that getting these people to not use the apple based product is literally impossible.
I have found that verizon messages does actually work with this functionality. Atleast, from reading the comments.
(Due to not having enough posts, I cannot link to the Verizon Messages App on the Android Market)
It doesnt say it is compatable with the Galaxy Nexus, but at one point and time some people managed to get it installed and say that its working fine. I have searched for the .apk to no avail. If anyone has the .apk or a link to it, that would be very helpful. If not, then any other suggestions in getting this functionality would be greatly appreciated.
For reference: My CDMA GNex is running: CND 1.3.2, Franco-v16, w/ full 4.0.4 CDMA/LTE radios. Thanks in advance!
Best,
RC3
Don't think you'll ever get an app that's compatible with iMessage. That's proprietary Apple code that's only in the iPhone.
Seems as though there is a method, it was posted in my similar thread on rootzwiki. I cannot link to it, but it is in the rootzwiki forums under CDMA Galaxy Nexus with the same title as this thread. Thanks!
Hey everybody,
So I'm on Paranoid Android and I've noticed an issue. The messaging application (and all third-party applications) really have no good way of sending out multiple messages to lists when the search command is invoked.
The stock messaging applications from GAPPS JB sucks. I can't go into a contacts list window and just *click* off the names of people I want to send the message to. I think everybody has seen this, right?
HandCent and GoSMS are not much better. Let me give you an example.
Let's say I have 100 people from OSU in my phone. Every one of them has a tag called "OSU" in their names in my contact lists. If I try to send a new message with GoSMS or HandCent and type "OSU" in the search box, all 100 of them will show up....
The *problem* is that they will be COMPLETELY OUT OF ALPHABETICAL ORDER! Unlike in the stock Sprint ROM's app!
So does anybody else suffer with this and can anybody help me around this problem? I don't think simply installing the stock application on Paranoid Android will work, as this appears to be the way the contacts list is being perused by the messaging applications.
Hoppingfully yours,

I am hoping someone on here can help me out. I've Googled this and it appears many people have the same question but I have not found any solutions...I recently converted over from a Blackberry, which I have used for about 7 years, and although I like some of the options on the S3 better, the lack of some options that I took for granted on my BB really bum be out.
I want to apply a custom SMS tone to separate individuals such as my wife, various family members, friends, etc. Does anybody know of an app or a workaround with the factory settings that would allow me to do this. I would also like to apply a tone for my different email accounts as well.
Any and all input would be appreciated.
Gosms will let you do custom notifications for messaging
