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.

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.

I know 4.2 has group text but untill then coyld we get this working. On our stock or rooted phones? Any apps or method to get this working besidse unofficial rom

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.

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.
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!

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.
