Coming from the iPhone, my friends and I used to have group SMS conversations and all the messages would be received and managed in a single group thread. On the GN, every single response that I receive is split into separate threads for each person. Is there any way to get normal group texting or did I lose this feature when I made the switch to Android?
unfortunately i think you might have lost that feature with the switch to android. you would need to use a 3rd party app (some of which would require your iphone/BB-touting friends to also use a 3rd party app)... not very convenient at all .
there is a "Verizon Messages" app which you might see mentioned in a few of the links below. here are some other convos i stumbled across that confirm the issue and might give you some tips:
beta version of Handcent that some people seem to have success with
Thread confirming issue
Another forum thread with some other people's findings
Issue raised with Google
hope this helps, good luck!
Damn that sucks. Without this basic feature I'm going to be forced to switch back to my iPhone 4S. Love the Galaxy Nexus but group chatting is one of my primary mobile uses. I really hope Google addresses this in the near future.
I would at least try all the top SMS apps on the market. Perhaps one of those functions the way you want.
I tried both GoSMS and Handcent and both apps were truly dreadful compared to the stock SMS app.
Just out of curiosity, is there any way to fix this if I were to root?! Really don't want to switch back to the iPhone 4S but this problem is becoming a monster issue for me! Thanks.

Don't think so. Just a limitation.
This issue isn't enough to get me to switch back to an iPhone, but yeah, it's kinda annoying.
If you are on Verizon, the aforementioned Verizon Messages app works great, seamless. The others kinda suck.
Thanks. Unfortunately I have the unlocked version and I'm using it with AT&T.
You can use Google+ Messenger. You start a conversation and you can add friends from your cirlces and/or friends phone numbers or any phone Number.. I'm surprized nobody brought this up sooner!
Can you explain how this would work for people who have iPhone's without Google+? Would they get a regular text message? If so, what number would it come from? This might be a decent solution.

It won't, maybe if they use Google+, but it won't replace the standard SMS. The new Handcent 4.x update can handle Group MMS messages, personally I just got used to the Stock messaging app so I stick with that (Even though it can't handle Group Messaging).
Hope this helps...

Don't listen to the guy above this. It does work. They will get a text message with a different random phone number but it will have your name on it. try it out for yourself dude. I hate when people reply to things with an answer and are totally wrong. Messenger from Google plus sends text messages!!!!! I tested it myself yesterday. I love Google+! Can't wait when it takes over and facebook goes away. So much better!

This guy is funny. Going back to a phone because of something he could use by downloading an app or Google+. Go back to the iPhone and get outta here then. If you prefer a phone that you need a magnifying glass to look at, no widgets, no customization and being locked down by apple and having to put music on your phone by sycing with a computer... be my guest!

What a foolish quote. First of all, it doesn't work with Google+...I tried this with a few other people and it did not work unless they had the Google+ app installed. Also, there is nothing wrong with different people having different priorities. Clearly your priority is on widgets and customization while mine is on communication...to each their own. I'm hoping the group SMS issue will be addressed soon being that almost all other smartphones have this capability.
The other thing that is frustrating me after switching to the GN is the way the email apps render HTML emails. On iOS it puts the full page on the screen and you zoom into the parts you want to read. On the GN the email doesn't fit to the screen so you need to scroll all over the place to read it. Hope this is fixed as well.
GoSMS just added this feature. I was literally trying everything to get this to work then GO updates the SMS app and it works great. Every reply all gets sent back to the group thread and I can send out of it just fine. Loving it.

Hi again, just a couple of features I have noticed missing, or not found them....
First is being able to long hold a contact and send business card etc,
And the other one is deleting individual calls from call history, either in batch or long pressing.
Any one else found some features you'd expect missing or if the ones above will be included in a software update?

You can't zoom in the photo edit application,which makes it absolutely impossible to remove red eyes even though there is such a functionality. Tried it several times already, the built in flash almost always guarantees red eyes.

If I remember correctly, stock Android hasn't had SMS business card sharing for a long time. It's no new discovery with Android 4.0
OK, thanks for the help. Seen the delete call option now. But no SMS sharing.

Ics features Missing
update which misses the core features of ICS. Still its getting rolling to many country almost 4 days gone.
Native 3G VIDEO CALL.- why we have a front camera where we cant use it for video call. Its not fair
WIFI-DIRECT- The most welcomed features. Thought its being the highend smart phone we already misses the 4.0 bluetooth which the board can support but atleast the WIFI capable direct transfer technology which most company including samsung incorporated even in GB phone and adding to these the white paper reveales that its has the technology in buit. But why its not implemented in the latest build.
Camera : Burst Mode. Many low end smartphones has that features. Why we dont have that feature. its really a pain that having spent on high end phone lacks basic functionality where a mediocre devices can perform the same functionality at a fraction of price.
I am not pin pointing or complaining. I am just esclating to the right department to notify that these core features which are missing in the XS.
Please take it as a feedback and do the needfull to the owners of XS.
Thanks
The use of wifi direct. Setting an external MP3 as a ringtone without the use of any apps or moving the MP3 to another location on the phone. In the contacts app, choosing to view only people with cellphone numbers (again, without using any other external app)
Sending sms or email to a group. I don't know why such a simple feature is absent.

Major option missing in that. No sharing via text. That's ****ing stupid to leave out Messaging/Text sharing, which is the main reason to share a contact or business card.

Never even heard of those apps before. Everybody texts still. All my friends, family, and in my business sales SMS texting is very common and popular.
If those apps you mentioned are so great, lets see Android or iPhone incorporate them directly into their OS or some type of version based off them.

Yup yup, it's a bit daft we need to install Skype or something similar. I wish Google would follow suit like other manufacturers and OEMs, and bundle a native video calling app.
Also, a BBM type thing would be nice, preinstalled, so all Android phones come with it. Group chats and the like would be pretty awesome.

I thought Talk was an MSN Messenger type app? You can't use it via the Phone can you? I.e. going to contacts and clicking call - video call. Surely if you want to make a call using Talk, you need to be logged in, and the other person has to be online etc etc?
SMS is still the most common thing, everyone with a phone has it.
Whatsapp? Not all my friends have a smartphone, let alone Whatsapp.

Need help beating the windows phone, yes I know it is rigged, but there have been successes.
This is to win the new challenge and get a $1000 GC
SO i need some apps/widgets to help beat them
Challenges to beat
1. snap picture of yourself, tag it, and post it facebook
I know HTC can do this from what I remember. But touchwiz don't have this built in. The facebook app and friendcaster does not have an immediate way to tag the picture when posting. Are there any other apps?
2. movie showtimes at the nearest theater
best one i found so far is cinemadroid, but does not get the showtimes of every city and also have a trial period where I have to wipe data or purchase the full one
flixter helps too
3. Check SO or best friend facebook status and send them a text message.
HTC i believe have something built in.
I found Contapps to be helpful. It's best to know what they already posted and just say it out loud before it even finish loading like what they do lol
4. Post a status to both facebook and twitter
tweetdeck widget
5. Translation
Need a good picture translating app
I found photo translator free but it is so so.
6. send a facebook message then text message to the same person
any apps that does that well?

BTW we're gonna lose the translation challenge, i think only iphone users can compete against them in that category.
can you elaborate on number 3 and 6? i dont think i understand what needs to be done
btw testing my atrix against youtube videos i was able to defeat the post to twitter and facebook at same time (using social status stock atrix widget )
beat them on music using SOUNDHOUND
take photo and share inmediatly using stock camera app.
also it has the option to disable the screen lock on the stock rom
Maybe you can use some of those apps in yours.
Just thought I'd let you folks know about Contacts+ (previously called ContApps, I think), the contacts app I'm using on my stock N4.
It is totally packed with features (chiefly, integration with social networks, WhatsApp integration and smart ordering), looks absolutely lovely, and just elevates the Android experience when using a smartphone as, you know, a phone (which is something I feel that smartphones are getting less smart at doing..).
As an added bonus, it pimps out your SMS and call log appearance and functionality as well.
The team that build it are also really responsive and quite pleasant to interact with.
(I can't post links because I'm a few posts too short still, but it's easily enough found on the Play Store by searching for "Contacts+".)

Hey,
There should be a Whatsapp button in the left sidebar (next to the Facebook, messaging, etc) whenever you open a contact that has Whatsapp as well.
If this doesn't work properly, check the FAQ question "Does Contacts+ integrate with Whatsapp" at: Contacts+ settings > FAQ.
Or send us an error report via Contacts+ settings > feedback > report an issue.
Thanks!

Contacts+ had been downloaded over 1 million times, and has a 4.4 rating, so I'd say it's worth a try...

Does this contact manager support adding multiple nicknames to 1 contact? I have 2 nicknames that I want to assign to 1 of my contacts but the stock app only allows 1 nickname to be assigned. I would gladly use this app if it had that feature. Also does it still sync with my gmail account/gmail contacts?

will it uninstall ok ?

I'd be interested to hear what Contacts+ have to say about that too.
That said, GoSMS, GoContacts are free as are millions of others. Just because something is free, doesn't necessarily mean they are harvesting data.
Contacts+ is nice, however it is constantly the highest battery drain on my phone, even above Screen.
I have searched high and low for a good means of messaging my friends on their Apple devices. They of course want to use nothing but their default Messenger app, and as much as I like Google Voice, it doesn't support pictures or MMS.
I've tried imo.im on both devices with Google Talk, but it's proven to be a bit of a pain, particularly on the ios side.
I'm now looking at all other options, such as Kakaotalk (though I'm in the USA), Facebook Messenger, Skype, and so on. My Nexus 7 is wifi only, and I do not own or use a cellphone (so TabletTalk and Whatsapp won't work).
Considering all of that, can someone please point me in the right direction of a good app or solution?
I just use Google Voice, all my Ipad friends have no problems with it. You do need to get a GV# for best use.

Possibly. It was like pulling teeth to get them all to try IMO.im, and because that didn't go well I'm guessing any other client I ask them to install had better be downright amazing. I was looking at Kik, Skype, Kakaotalk, or possibly Facebook Messenger (though I was worried something like Facebook Messenger or Google+ Messenger would make conversations publicly accessible, which annoys me). Any specific opinions on which would be better?

I don't trust G+ messenger anymore.. A lot of messages weren't delivered, and sending pictures is a pain in the *** I'm also searching a good messenger for me and my friends.. But there's none for me ATM. I tested every single one, like, 1000 companies got my contacts and numbers now, but nothing was good. The best, was kik, but, it's so.. Clean, too clean for me.. Sending pictures on kik is awesome and fast, also, it's the fastest messenger, even if you kill the process it still boots fast without any loading screen.. But it has like none features.. Just the standard ones.. Also it has a few.. Idk, weird things like when I receive a message from "mike" only, and open it, it goes to the contact list instead of the conversation... A no go for me.. Kik needs to grow with features, even tiny ones like what I've mentioned above.. But if you can live with a clean one, here you go, dolphinetly kik.
Oh.. I wrote a lot lol ^^

You could also use Textnow, it gives you a texting number that can recieve pictures, it's also bubble formatted messages like modern messengers (similar to iphone's) . As long as you use your number once in 90 days,it's yours forever. They've also added voip calling, but i think you have to pay for minutes on that.

So is there an APK of the stock Android Messaging app that was on the GNEX that I can put on the HTC One?
The one thats on the HTC one does not handle MMS group messages right. Every time someone send a message back in the group conversation and I click on the notification it takes me to just my texts with that one person. Not to the group text. Its the last thing I haven't figured out how to fix on the HTC One.
Or is there a setting I'm missing somewhere that resolves this? Or a 3rd party messaging app that works better? I've tried a few but none seem to get this right.
This is a problem with Android in general. Go SMS pro handles group messages. There is an option for it in settings.

Just FYI, some Android phones DO handle group messages.

Yea, I was hoping it was the app that was having the issues as my GNEX didn't have issues with group messages that I remember. I'll have to look into SMS Pro. Thanks
Try 8sms from the Play Store
Made by CM and handles group messaging well

I'm sorry, not quite sure how to interpret that.
I think you'll be pleased with the app. It has Emoji support too if you have buddies with iPhones

Interpret that your app orwho's ever. Is awesome. What I hate it's the 4.2.2 texting setup om my htc. It don't count messages like if I sent a 400 character text on my wife htc one stock app N it just sends an any order an Don tell you if it's the 1st text or 3rd text. I was saying I hope they would use this idea on there 4.3. In less I overlook a option to fix my texting issue. Anyways iI uninstalled all stock message an turn on stand alone support. It is 3x big app but Nbd... What's Emoji? If you don't mind or if you do I can Google it

Emojis are the little picture characters that iPhones have native to their keyboard. Android JB has viewable Emoji support I believe.
Are you posting from a phone or is English not your primary language? Sorry, just wondering.

Just having a little trouble trying to piece together what you're saying. I'm getting the jist though!
I don't do much group messaging so you'll have to test out how it works on there. The app is CyanogenMod official, so it should be top notch.

I did 8sms for a while, but then it wasn't showing some picture messages or then not showing my texts (It would just show a small square box in the text field.. going to wait a bit until it has a few more updates.
my favorite so far has been sliding messaging pro. Just got a big update recently as well.
Handles group messages pretty well so far from my testing. At first I was pissed because I wanted to try the app out but then was on a 20 minute phone call and missed the return window (so basically I never got to 'try' it out). I figured whatever, I'll just use it now that I bought it, and it's really amazing
You can try TEXTRA SMS as well. Very simple, lightweight sms/mms that handles group messaging very well. Fast too. Not a lot of fluff.
