My friend just recently switched from an iPhone to a galaxy note 2 and I was wondering if there was a way to get the the verizon version of the messaging app because it threads group conversations. This would have to be without root because he would never root.

I think the app in the playstore called "go sms" does it. Now it doesn't always work. Right now im rooted on a AOSP ROM that has threaded group messaging and it works flawlessly
Excuse my ignorance but what is threaded group messaging?

If you send out a text to more than one person it is considered a group message. As it currently is, you will receive a response from each of the individuals in their own message thread. With threaded group messaging all responses to the original text are kept within that thread. It's a really nice feature to have if you do a lot of group texting.

get your friends to stop using iMessage.
So far as I know there isn't an android answer to this.
I have a solution that I'm 100% sure will work: get your friends to buy android phones

iMessenger is a closed Apple messaging system... Apple device to Apple device only. You're out of luck on this one as long as they use that. But a previous post mentioned using GoSMS. if you can get your iPhone buddies to switch to it, then all of you can do group chats. thats your best bet.
I made a pleasant discovery today. An iPhone friend sent out a group message and when replies were received they were maintained in a group message. If it's a known feature it was not working for me. Something to note. I use Handcent for messaging and when I installed an antivirus app it gave me a message the Handcent had the highest priority for messaging and and to be downgraded for the antivirus to scan sms/mms. I let it lower the priority for Handcent and low and behold, group messaging works. I don't know if this is just a coincidence or fluke but thought I would share it.
I'm also on Freeza's stock rooted odex rom, with stock kernel.
What antivirus are you using. First!

Avast Mobile Security. Also, discovered if I send the group message it's received on iPhone as individual message. So my Galaxy will only keep the messages grouped if initiated by an iPhone user. Oh well, still beats getting everyone's individual replies taking up space in my messaging app.
Well there is something there. And i believe that with a liytle investigation you can check the process of which the iphone sends group messaging and possibly mimic there procedure. Dont know but it would be nice.

Wait whoops...lol I hadn't even tried it out yet, not even when I was still on stock unrooted lol
GoSms has group messaging as well.. and it allows you to start a group SMS with iPhone.. it just slows down when every one messaging at once which is annoying as hell.. I at first thought it was my phone but nope can get into other apps and text in same msging app to another person with no problem.. sucks but it works

WHAT?! I'm about to pull this and install...
quick question. I'm still on Freeza's 4.1.1 fre3 (haven't bothered to upgrade yet) - would a 4.1.2 mms.apk work on 4.1.1?
I'm so n moar and don't have group messaging. It has the option in settings but doesn't work. Am I missing something? I had tpr and the same issue. It will not do group messaging. I've checked the setting on and off and still no luck

You mean send a message with multiple recipients? Yea, and also when my dad or sister sends us a group text its not threaded
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
I've seen some of the roms implement this but I have hsd scattered messages meaning if onenperson sent a big text in the group chat I would receive message 2of2 before 1of2. I use gosms because at least I get the messages in the right order but as someone recently stated it slows down significantly when everyone texts at once.

No, I mean make a group. You can't use group messaging unless you make groups. Just sending to multiple recipients is not the same. Android group messaging is different then iPhone's.

When I used gosms it worked ok. Half the messages came as SMS in individual thread the other half were in the group thread and it always locked up and took forever to load. Is there something I am missing?

Kenny - Could you elaborate a bit. If I receive a group message sent from an iPhone to 4 people, you're saying I could reply to all 4 people and keep the conversation going??? Just curious since most of my family uses iPhones...

I cannot verify that. I do know you have the ability to make groups such as family, mothers, fathers, etc to be able to send a message to the whole group at once. I never got an incoming iphone group message. Will have to ask my daughters to help investigate this as against my advice they got iphones thinking that's what the cool kids were doing....kids!

So Im having an odd group MMS issue with my GS4, I have a group message thread that my family and I use all day every day to communicate, 3 of the 4 have iPhones, and one has a GS3. Everything works perfectly with the people using iPhones, but with the one GS3, I always get her replies in a separate thread. This didnt happen on my HTC One using Sense, but did with the Google Edition ROM, and on happens both on touchwiz and the Google Edition ROM for the GS4. Any ideas?
Anyone?

I have the same issue. No one was able to answer it. The person having problems in mine had a note 2. Maybe a Samsung problem?
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
I didn't have an S3, but on my S2 when replying to group messages it would send out individual SMSes instead of as an MMS. Default behavior on the stock messaging app. They might try a different client like gosms, or maybe facebook messenger and tie in sms/mms functionality to that.
Or do the iPhones see the S3's response as a group message as well?
The other people see the iPhone as a normal group text.
Go sms does work... But it's got an annoying double notification for group messages. Hmm.. Strange..
Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk 2
Could be because the S3 doesn't have native group messaging. You could try installing one of the AOSP messaging mods with group messaging on that device and see if it clears it up if the phone is rooted.

I'm pretty sure the S3 didn't have native group messaging. If i recall correctly, I would get a different thread for each person responding to the group sms. And that's why I love my S4.

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.

if I can get some help with this ill gladly appreciate it.

The stock messaging app in 4.3 MK4 does it perfectly. Found this out by accident actually. If they respond to your message. It will stay in the group thread.

Alright I'll check that out... and is there a ROM that runs 4.2.2 or earlier that has this capability because some 4.3 ROMs don't yet have some things working?? I looked around and found
NoAOSPmod ROM that has it integrated beautifully(I'm using it as we speak) but i want something more like a touchwiz ROM.
Or is there an MMS. Apk that I can install to a ROM?

Yeah they do need to have a group text capable app like hangouts... There is an app called slide messenger pro that is really cool and customizable it's 1.99 but I like it better than hangouts and it does group message.

Ahhh that makes sense. I tried to group message with my sis and my moms phone and I would get their texts in different threads but they didn't have a group messaging app or phone. Thanks man ..
Ohh I'll look into that app ..
I've tried everything and 4.2.2 and 4.3 have group msg. Or you can try textra. I used to use textra. It's light fast and there are no bloatware. It gets right to the point. Group text works really good in textra.

Handcent works fine for me. You have change some settings but works perfect. Also any 4.4 roms stock messaging does group threads.
