Is there a way to remove this warning about "group conversations being sent as multimedia messages'? Like, i get it, you don't need to warn me EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. I use group conversations frequently. In fact, I'd say half of my text conversations are part of groups. I've had the phone for a little while now. I think its safe to say that I don't need this little pop up anymore. is there anyway to remove it completely?
THANKS!

Go to your settings in the message app and click on Multimedia messages. Take a screenshot of the configuration in that and show it here.

Yours is showing the same configuration as mine. Did you change anything in settings at all?
I use Hangouts and I haven't seen any group conversation issues.
Let me try stock messages and see if I get some issues.
Edit: just tested group messaging to 4 people and did not get a pop-up at all.
Are you with AT&T carrier? Did you change any settings relating to texting or MMS? Can you try Hangouts and send a group message and see if anything pops up?
Yeah, I'm with ATT. Didn't change any settings. I just got the phone about a week ago.
Will try Hangouts ...
Note 4
Mine does the exact same. I only like samsung messages over hangouts because you can send diff types of things. Hangouts only let's you send pic and location

Are you also with AT&T? Where did you get the Samsung message app? Have you tested Hangouts to see if the problem persist there too?
The reason I ask to try Hangouts is because it's a different app and it would allow me to know if the same problem persist on that app too. If it does then we can try other solutions to fix the problem.

I'm on att and other apps don't do it. Samsung messages is the stock messaging app built into the note 4
One more thing before we try these solutions...
Are you both on 5.0.1 Lollipop or 4.4.4 Kitkat?
What version of Messages are you both on? Mine says version 1.0.0.
Here's some solutions...
1st solution:
In Messages app go to settings and click on the 3 dots at the top right corner of the app. You'll see Restore default settings. Click that and then exit the app. Go back in and try to see if that popup persist.
If it does persist then let's try this...
You have a choice of losing all your conversations or not. If you don't care about losing it then skip the backup steps.
2nd solution:
Go to the Play Store and download an app called My Backup. There is a Pro version if you want to buy it. I have the Pro version and have used it for 3 years now.
In My Backup click New Backup. Then click Data. Then click Local. Check the boxes for SMS and MMS then click Ok. Then you'll see another box asking if you want to rename the backup. You can rename it or use what it has shown as the date of the backup. Click ok. This will save all your conversations.
Once it is done go to the phones Settings. Click on the Application tab then click on Application manager. Swipe to ALL. Scroll down to Messages. Clear the cache and data and then Force Stop the app.
Exit out of the settings and open up Messages app. Make it your default app then do a group text test. See if the problem persist again or not. If it doesn't then great. You can go back to My Backup app and click on My Backups. Click on Data. Then Local and restore your conversations.
If the problem persist then report back and we'll try something else.
I am on stock 4.4.4 Kitkat. The messaging app is the stock "Messages" that comes on the phone. It shows Version 4.4.4-N910, which is the same code for the Samsung Note4.
When i go into the Message app, click on the settings 3-dots, are restore to default, i STILL get that little popup. It remains. I have even rebooted the phone, and it remains. using Hangouts does NOT have any popup warning.

I didn't have this problem on 4.4.4. I'm on 5.0.1 for a bit checking stuff out. Try my method in the last post to see if that clears it up or not.
I'm on 5.0.1 version 1.0.0 and still does it. Even after I tried what you said it still shows a popup

Is there a work-around for using a 3rd part text app (go sms pro) on the samsung epic 4g so that it does not interfere with the voice mail app on the phone?

I'll try to be more specific;
IF i install go sms pro (3rd party text app) and someone leaves me a voice mail message, I do not get the message. I receive a text from spring telling me to call a number......
i contact sprint tech support. i was told that the voice mail app on the phone will not work with a 3rd party text app. somehow, they are linked. once i removed the go sms app, i received my voice mail messages....
sorry i was not clearer....

Go sms works just don't override the other notifications when you install. Uninstall reinstall then disable stock notification.
If that doesn't work I've seen a walkthrough fix on sprintusers.com

Handcent is working, so I might just go ahead and keep using that app.

It definitely works for go sms. You just have to make sure you're not allowing the over ride when installing. I say give it a go sms again

thank you.
EUREKA!!Got it. After installing the app, go to the app --> advance settings --> Notification Settings and make certain that the box for "Enable notifications" is UNCHECKED. Problem solved!
I have been using GO SMS PRO and I tell you the thing rocks with absolutely no problems. I am using it in my EPI 4G Touch with no problems.
I downloaded Handcent toady and play with it a bit but in my opinion it cna not compare.
The only thing I noticed with GO SMS is that when you attached a picture to your text if you use the GO option instead off the MMS option some people might not be able to see it.
i'm using go sms pro also. it's far better than handcent.
It is messing with the voicemail because you have the default messaging app checked. Uncheck and you should be golden.

Make sure it isn't check and you will still have notifications.

Am I just doing it wrong, or does sending an SMS to a group of people just not work the way you would expect? When I send an SMS to a group of people (using GO SMS or the default app), each person's reply comes in on it's own thread, and there is no way for a person to reply to all. Recipients also cannot tell who all the initial message was sent to.
TMO has a group SMS app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zipwhip.zipgroups.sidekick, and I know people that use it, and it seems to work, but when I install it on my SGS3, it never works (it errors out when "setting up the phone"). It seems this app is only for the SIdekick??? Why it is specific to a single phone is beyond me. I have also seen other apps that work, but they all require everyone to use the same app (WhatsApp, for instance).
There is a setting for MMS Group Chat in GO SMS, but it doesn't seem to do anything for organizing a thread for multiple recipients. In fact, I'm not sure what it does.
Stock messaging app doesn't do group. It sends them separately to each so when they reply you get separate replies. But go SMS pro fully supports group chats. Been using it for quite a while now. Below are the settings you need to check.

Thanks. I have tried those settings, but it didn't seem to work. I think the 3 minute message grouping is what is messing things up for me. I don't always get replies within 3 minutes. I guess I will mess with it some more.

Hmm..Im not sure then. I used Go SMS Pro for my Evo 3d as well and with those settings I never had any issue. Even if the replies are hours later.
And can a recipient hit reply and will the replies go to everyone, or just me?

It'll go to the group chat thread assuming their phone supports it. Its like being in a chat room. Everyone can see everyone's reply in one thread.
But if their phone doesn't support it then it will send separately

I've use" groupme" from the play store. Worked well for me, you can set it up to where they deliver and receive texts thru SMS rather than the app, the people you text with don't need the app or a smart phone.

When they reply to your text do you get individual responses or does it get combined into 1 thread? Can it also be used as your main messaging app even for individual messages or this is only specific for doing group messages?

I get them thru SMS, and yea its like a chat room type, if any one reply to it, every one on the group you created gets it, and no I don't use it as a main app, I use it to create groups and that's it's,I like using the replies thru SMS , I shut the app notifications off

So there is no way to see which contacts are online using this right?
If you're on a computer, go to Google plus page and turn hangouts on, there is a green line under the picture of contacts who are online. My list of contacts that show are just frequently used ones though. I know this isn't the same but maybe it will show up in the app soon.

It doesn't show status messages, status, nor does it allow you to set either one. This is a terrible step back from Google Talk. Not to mention it forcibly lumps all of your Google+ contacts in with your GTalk contacts.
That doesn't help me. I don't talk to those people. I use GTalk to talk to a select few people who have limited SMS per month and one person who uses a tablet with mobile data and a dumbphone.
Google really dropped the ball with this pile of junk app. The new iteration of the Music app isn't any better. They've been cocking everything up since the horrid 4.2 lockscreen abomination.

Are you only talking about within the Android Messages App? I am referring to when a new text message comes in and either in the notification area when you pull down the notification bar or if you are on the lockscreen and can see the new text message there. In both of these areas, the senders profile picture is just a Letter instead of their picture.... but if i go into Android Messages app and view the thread, all profile pictures are shown with no issues.

Mine is doing the same thing. I have not factory reset it though as I can live without the profile pics coming up in the notifications. Hopefully it'll get fixed with a messages app update.

Yes, that's what I'm talking about - the notification bar shows the Other Person's profile picture, but not mine.
Same problem here. Quite annoying. My OCD is going to get triggered with this.
Lol same here. My OCD is what triggered this post. I had issue on dp5..took ota to stable pie and still have. Already did a factory reset with no luck. Issue also happens if I use Pulse for sms so it's not specific to Android messages. Seems to be Pie bug...or maybe something with contacts app? Also my wife with original pixel has it as well after Pie ota..and buddy with Pixel 2 XL has too... Cannot figure this out. Also seems others do not have this issue which baffles me. Any help to figure this out would be amazing!

Sideloaded a newer messages app, profile pic from received messages has their profile pic but not on the ones I sent. It's just a big Y, for you. Does it work on yours?

I got my Fold4 a little over a week ago. The version of Google Messages on my Fold3 has a few additional features that are missing on the Fold4. The feature with which I'm primarily concerned is the reminder function. On the Fold3 I can long press on any individual message within a conversation and a little clock appears up at the top of the app. Tapping on the clock gives me the option to schedule a reminder to respond to the message. There is no such feature available on the version of the app installed on the Fold4. Anyone else missing this? I want it back.
I could be wrong, but I think this was a Samsung Messenger feature and not Google Messages. I just tried it on my S22 Ultra and Fold 4, neither worked in in google, but the long press both worked in the Samsung app.

I'm looking at both phones right now. I appreciate the input but, yes, you're wrong.

Copy that! In all fairness, I wasn't aware that this was a feature until tonight lol. Kinda disappointed I can't get the extra features in google too.
I'm pretty sure I've figured out the explanation now, but it still doesn't make good sense. The version installed on my Fold3 is "messages.android_20220822_05_RC00.phone.openbeta_dynamic" whereas the version installed on my Fold4 is "messages.android_20220822_05_RC00.phone_samsung_dynamic." The menu icon has changed from the Google Account Profile icon to the typical 3 dot button. When using Messages with the phone closed (just the front cover display), the conversations are shifted down lower on the Fold4's version, making it easier to reach the top conversation without using two hands. And there are a few other minor but convenient feature changes. But none of these changes should necessitate the removal of reminders. Screenshot of the reminder button on my Fold3 is attached.

I've also noticed the fold4 specific changes. I hate the new wasted space on the contact menu. I wonder if we can install the Fold3 apk on the fold 4.

I tried and was unsuccessful. I'm sure the Samsung-specific version of the app will be updated and fixed fairly quickly. Not sure what your talking about with respect to the contact menu. What the heck is the "contact menu?" If you're simply referring to the message list on the cover screen, I think the design/layout update makes sense. I can now reach the top conversation with my thumb when using a single hand.
Yes i'm referring to the messages list. I think It is a terrible design choice to force people to only be able to see 6 text messages at start. This should be a checkbox option.
I've hadn't have any issues sending timed messages. I know in the Google Messages version, after typing out your message, press and hold down on the send arrow and it lets you set a specific time to actually send the message.

That's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about setting reminders for individual messages within a conversation. You're talking about scheduling messages to be sent automatically at a later time.

I disagree. It's a much better design. You can easily scroll down if you want to see more conversations.

My apologies. I misunderstood. The closest thing I could find to what you are looking for is in relation to the app itself and not individual messages within the conversation....

Take a look at the screenshots I shared earlier in this thread
Uninstall the app and download the Google beta version from app mirror. Done and dusted.

It has to be removed via ADB, as it's a bundled app. Admittedly, I haven't yet tried that.
Use adb appcontrol. It's free and you can just disable it. It's a windows app.
Google finally fixed this issue with the latest version of the app.
