I can't figure out group texting. - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So... before I got my Nexus, I could send and receive group messages almost like an MMS to a group of friends and have a chat.
Now if I send a group text it sends it individually and if someone starts a chat I receive it like I'm the only one.
I tried Go SMS with the same results. Anyone know what I'm doing wrong?

Cant be done mate, so annoying!
Can be done with Go Sms though buddy so I dont know what your doing wrong there..

Yeah. Group SMS sends the message as individual messages to each person. Same with GO SMS and Handcent

Umm. My Galaxy Nexus, (CDMA) does group texting. I actually don't like group texting that much.

[Q] Don't get picture messages from only ONE contact

Me and my friend both have unlocked Galaxy Nexus phones. He is on T-Mobile and I am on AT&T. I can receive picture messages from anybody and everybody else in my entire contact list but when he sends me a picture I'm only getting blank messages. We can receive each others texts just fine and he can receive my picture just fine as well but not vice versa. It's a bit annoying and I dont like using 3rd party apps like Voxer or LiveProfile to send and receive pix cuz those apps suck lol I'm not sure if it's a carrier problem and I can't really test it because I don't know anybody else who has T-mobile. My question is: "WTF?" lol
Just have him email them..

Thought of that. That's just as much hassle as using Voxer or LiveProfile.

[Q] How does your message app handle group texts?

I use The People's Rom, on FC09, and as far as I can tell it uses a slightly themed version of the stock touchwiz message app.
If I receive a group text, I don't know who else, if anyone, the message was sent to and responses from other people are not threaded with the original message.
I've recently seen on a friend's incognito that even its crude messaging app can report all of the recipients of a message and a reply all option is available. This is also the case for the iphone.
Which messaging apps for the Epic, if any, are able to display and reply to multiple recipients of group text messages?

Can someone confirm that the CM7 and cm9 message apps do not display or reply to all text message recipients?

GoSMS has group MMS now. It shows as a group icon, rather than a single contact's picture in the text list.
Go SMS does have this feature but I've found it busted MMS after the first use. Maybe they fixed it since the initial release of it, I haven't used it since.
If you don't have it, you can long press the message and go into details. Then it will at least show you the numbers the message was sent to, but it won't match to any names even if you have them.

Honestly I think this is my most wanted feature on CM. I hate the way android handles group texts just as much as I hate go sms

I think it's rather annoying that I get responses from other people when someone sends out a group text. It's just Iphone users I've found.
When I send out a group text with Handcent and someone responds, it's just to me, not the whole group. It's not that way with the Iphone. When another Iphone users responds to a group text, everyone that got the original message also gets the response.
This "feature" sucks in my opinion but other people may want this functionality.

Yes I would love to have it. Just makes coordinating group projects at school so much easier. I absolutely understand it could be an annoyance to some though

You only notice it with iPhone users because it's Apple's 'way' of handling messages to more than one person. It's supposed to be like a chat room I guess. I'm not a big fan of it myself, but it can make it easier when dealing with a few people who have iPhones.
EDIT: And no, nothing on Android (AOSP, CM7/9, TW, etc) either displays or replies to all people the message was sent to. In fact, the way you'll know it's a 'group message' is because it comes through as MMS, so if you're without data, you won't get it. Just FYI.
Go SMS has the feature and it works really well

Do you use it frequently? The last time I used it (when they first implemented it) it worked for one reply successfully. It then crapped out and borked all MMS until I unchecked the option in the settings. Haven't tried it since. But, if you use it frequently and can still receive picture messages from others, then I might have to re-enable it as it would be nice to have.

imessage like app for SMS between android and iphone

I have to admit I went to the dark side for a while and the only thing I miss is imessage. I wish I could find a cross platform app to send all my SMS through that would try to use data connection app first but then drop down and send an SMS if the other person did not have the same app. Anyone know of an app like this? It would need to work between iOS and Android.

If I have helped you.... hit that sexy thanks button. ^_^
Just use Whatsapp. Never fails.
Could what's app replace the native SMS app so that if the receiving party does not have whatsapp it will send a SMS from your phone number?

Well, if the receiving party do not have whatsapp, they won't appear in whatsapp's contact list
Here's a quick list:
Viber
Whatsapp
GoSMS Chat
The closest thing you can get to your concern is probably GoSMS Chat. Though if iOS has GoChat, I can't really tell. Viber has both iOS and Android versions, so you can use that too.
I feel you man, I was always on a Android, then decided to switch to iOS just to check it out, got hooked with iMessage but I just can't live with the closed OS of Apple. So I got a GNex and never looked back
My friends and I just use Google+ Messenger app. Half of my friends have iPhones and other hand Android. We just use G+ to group chat. Works great.

Google voice sends an SMS via data. Not exactly what you wrote looking for but close.

Handcent allows you to send/receive group text messages. Works well with those using an Iphone. It now threads the conversation and keeps it in the same group.
You should check it out.
Or you could use what's app, it's a good temp option, has emoji and lots of options. It does require the receiving person to have though.

Group messaging

Can you send, reply and receive messages in one thread with this phone?

I'm not on the stock firmware anymore, but I don't believe so. I think threaded group messaging (as MMS) is a feature of 4.2(.2?).
Darn, thanks. I left Att a while ago to go to Verizon n thankfully I can do group messaging with the stock messaging app on the note II. I was very interested in the LG pro but want the group messaging without having to use a different app like Go SMS which would make my phone lag terribly.

Heads up, you can. While it's not going to be as fluid as iOS' s group messaging, if you hold on to the message that is an MMS you can reply to all. It'll create a new thread with all the recipients, even if you don't have them in your contacts. Sadly, just like the Samsung group messaging, the messages won't be in a single thread and all the texts you'll receive will be from each individual contact.
