Hi, guys!
I need help with group sms. I've been looking online for the answers and there's no clear and direct answer about group sms.
Here's the situation...
I'm using GoSMS. It's great, period. Sending Group SMS is also good, no problem (except for incorporating appellation, it's better if it uses the Nick rather than the whole name). Now, the problem is when a person replies to my group sms. It's goes to my inbox separately. And when other's also reply to my group sms, then ALL of them comes back in separate threads. Is there a way or an app that can fix this basic need?
I just want all the "replies" to be in the same thread.
In GoSMS: Settings > Advanced > Send Settings > MMS Group Chat
If you are on 4.2.1 the stock messaging app has the same feature. It is also under the settings menu.

Hi! Thanks. I checked that and when I tried to send a message to a group of people, it says "converting to mms". I'm just trying to send a regular text. Unless if group text really is an MMS type of communication and can't be done via regular text. I am thinking that if I can send group text/sms, I should also be able to receive them in regular text, right? But I prefer in to RECEIVE their REPLIES in one thread. (Now it stucked to sending)

As far as im aware the only way to send a group text is via mms. This is a problem for us Android users because our mms messages have to go through the carrier (dont quote me on this) while the iPhones iMessage's are sent via internet so it is much faster. I heard if you use Tmobiles Wifi calling your mms messages will send over the internet like an iphone but I have never tested it.

Hi, I'm running a rooted AT&T GS3 with KyanROM 1.5. I'm able to send MMS messages to people with no problem, but I can't receive MMS messages. I don't even receive anything on my phone telling me I have a MMS message. I'm pretty sure the message is sent though because, after my friend sent me a MMS, when I restart my phone on the bottom I receive a message saying "Currently unable to download. Please try again later" I have auto-retrieve messages enabled and I have mobile data enabled. Any help would be appreciated!
Edit: I tried installing GO SMS and restarting my phone, but I had the same problem.

U need to make sure original messaging app is still on the phone and not disabled. Even if u use ha cent or another third party. I have found that to b only way to get hand cent to work with mms.
U can still disable notifications on messaging app and mark button on hand cent making it default.
Good luck.

I'm having some issues with mms messages on my phone. I have searched on google and the forums. I haven't found anything to help me yet. My mms messaging was working fine I sent and received several messages the day before. I installed gosms pro and used it for a day and a few people sent me some mms messages. The messages werent downloading. I would keep clicking on the download button but a few minutes later it would say it failed and show the download button again. I uninstalled gosms and I still cannot download mms messages even in the stock messages app. At first I thought it was the network, but i put my sim card in my old iphone and it was receiving picture messages without issue. I have tried everything i could think of short of reflashing because I don't want to have to spend hours setting up all of my apps and settings again. I don't know if I am missing something. Does anyone have any suggestions or has anyone seen this before? Thanks in advance for any help.
My carrier forces me to send and receive mms over 3G. I am unable to send or receive using Wifi. Do you have 3G truned on and network coverage? If not try that. Also check the Access Point Names (apn) are the same on both phones.
Check in the apps settings as there are sometimes filter settings (max size etc.) that can be changed. From personal experience AtAT limits the size and theres no way around it.

I have signal. I can make calls just fine and browse the internet without problem. It is only when sending mms messages. That is why I am confused. I set the apn settings back to default then checked those entries against what others were saying here and they are all correct. I even went and cleared the app data of the messaging app to reset all of its settings.
New development. Now I can't send sms messages. I just tried this morning to send a few text messages and it just keeps saying that the message failed to send. I have no idea if im not receiving incoming messages now, but I haven't gotten any since yesterday afternoon. What could possibly cause all incoming and outgoing messages to stop working? i don't get it.

This feels like such a noob question but I'm at a loss. I know group messaging has been baked into the latest release but it doesn't seem to be working right.
I have the group messaging option turned on in my settings and I can send a group text just fine. But when I receive a group message it looks like a normal text message. I can't see who the other recipients are and so I can't respond to anyone but the person who sent that text.
I've noticed the same thing on several different S3 phones running 4.3 so I feel like either I am doing something wrong or "group messaging" doesn't work the way I expect it to. Are we only able to send group texts but not receive them? What gives?
Thanks.
Anyone??

I have the Verizon version of the S3, so I'm not sure if they behave the same. I went into my messing app, hit the menu to get settings and have the option for "Group Conversations" "Send messages as group conversations by default" checked...mine works just fine. When I get a group text, I have an option to switch it from MMS to SMS and have it be an individual text.
When I am in a group text message, whenever I send a reply it sends my reply to the group then sends me my same exact text back to me in the same same thread. It gets really annoying. Also I would like to have all the replies from anyone in the group text to go into one thread not individual threads, but that is not extremely important. What do I need to check off or on in the mms text message settings to stop sending myself text messages? Thank you. And how do I change my signature now, its been awhile since i've tried lol.
I'm running stock Oreo 8.0.0 on Samsung S9 using the bundled texting app.
When I receive group texts from an iPhone user, I only see myself as a recipient; the other recipients aren't listed.
Also when I reply to what I happen to know is a group text, my reply only goes to the sender rather than to the group members.
Is there a setting I'm missing or do I need to use a different text messaging app?
I use the default messaging app on my stock S9 (VZW) and I don't have this problem. Half my family use Android-based phones and the others use iPhones. Our group conversation work just fine. However, all of the group conversation I am involved in include people already in my contacts. I'm wondering if your missing recipients is related to who is in your contacts?

Nope, the problem shows up even with those in my contact list.
Maybe I'll try a random texting app and see what happens.
Other apps exhibit the same problem. Anyone have any insight into this problem?
