I get group text from iPhone users. When I reply to the text it only goes to the person who initiates the text. How do I make it so that when I reply it goes to everyone in the text?
Also if I send a group message a D if someone replies to it (from an android user) the reply comes to my directly and not in the group text message thread.
I've tried handcent and gosms and both did not work.
Can anyone help?
Go SMS works fine. I also have a stock SMS app that allows for iPhone compatibility if you don't want any other app besides stock. Both work fine, but you have to enable group messaging in go SMS.
Flash this in twrp and go into your settings afterwords to make sure group messaging is enabled for your stock messaging.

Hmm that's odd. I have group messaging enabled on the cm10.1 stock messaging app and I've got group messaging enabled on gosms and it still wouldn't work. I'll try the app you have and see how it goes.

Make sure your data is on as well, even if you're connected to WiFi. That could be your problem as group messaging is through MMS which requires data to be on.

Yeah data is definitely on and Ian was not connected to wifi. I tried group messaging between android devices today with gosms and it was not working.

I think this is something android should figure out as a standard..being able to group message like on the iPhone without extra configuration.
Want free storage space??? Click the link below and get a Dropbox account! By doing so we both get free storage space!

I'm also thinking it might be cm 10.1 fault because I believe they only have nightly builds right now. I've only tried group messaging with other iPhones..not android.

Looking for an sms app that can report back to me when a message i sent has been read by the receiver. Need this for work been looking all day and havent found it.
Handcent says its does this but everyone giving feedback on that app are saying horrible things about missing text/not receiving text. I installed this and tried it sending about 30 text and 2 werent received until like 10 minutes later
Gosms - not sure if it does have this capability looked at the details of what this app does and didnt mentioned it did.
smspop up- doesnt do it just gives a delivery report. Which is understandable since this is just to make your sms pop up.
theres another one cant remember the name of it but the recipient has to have the app installed as well and has to be sent from that app.
Anyway to make the stock app do this?
**Mod's Delete if you want or merge but i searched over and over on this site and other sites and did not find the answer. Posted on here instead of general android app because this is the phone i use so im always looking at this thread.
Just use Kik messenger and get all your friends to join. It is live messaging and shows when messages are read. Just a thought, not exactly what you wanted as it doesn't work for SMS. A cool thing is it also tells you if they are typing.
Not sure if Handcent does that or not.

the thing is i need that feature for the text i send to coworkers.
i use chomp sms and it has read notifications fully integrated and working

It won't work with normal texts. Kik/all those other apps are able to show when messages are read because they're internet-based.
Only certain carriers allow it. Not sprint .

gonna take a look at that app. does it have issues with not receiving or taking too long to receive a text.
Edit: looked at the feedback and many complaining about not receiving text and many not being able to send messages but I guess ymmv

I am using Go SMS pro. I have notifications turned off in default app, and on in Go SMS. I get notifications fine from standard msgs but not MMS. It worked fine up until a few days ago when i noticed that i would get an MMS but not a notification for it. So i wouldnt know that i had one until i manually checked my text list.
Any idea of what to try?
bump. anyone?

I would make sure it's not a network problem by deleting the app and making sure the stock MMS app still works. Have you tried emailing the developer of the app your problem?

I wouldn't bother emailing the dev. They are some of the worst at replying. They focus mainly on their targeted user base in china.

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.

I have the latest available version of hangouts and it has been said we can start using the SMS integration. I don't see that option anywhere in the app.

I'm sticking with Sammy's SMS for now
I like Hangout for Video, and such but for SMS it to me gets mixed up with all the other hangout stuff and I would rather have it separate. For me, I use SMS/MMS WAY more then Hangout, and it's just cleaner to keep it in it's own app. I did try it, worked fine and all. Just like SMS/MMS to be stand along.

I'm the opposite. I use SMS as an alert and rarely use it with other people. I use hangout text all the time. Don't do video much. I'd keep the SMS out of hangout as I prefer it separate.

MMS works between google+ accounts, but not between mobile numbers - Hangouts will force-close whenever I attach a photo to a message going to a phone # (as opposed to a hangout contact).

Seems like if you are in a group message to people on their phones numbers then the messages will go as MMS instead of SMS, When i am connected to WIFI mms does not work hence i have to choose WIFI or group message and i hate it
hey guys..i have been looking for group text app or a mod for it that receives/sends messages in a group thread. I cant seem to find anything. I checked this whole thread and nothing. I even tried to use go sms, handcent, textra, and other messaging apps that have "group messaging."
if I can get some help with this ill gladly appreciate it.
thank you for your time.
Hangouts does it for you. Should already be on your phone. Just enable sms on it.

Have you updated the the latest hangouts? Mine just does it, didn't have to change anything.

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.

Should be on any rom running 4.3 as it is integrated with 4.3 MMS apk.

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.
