Sending multiple individual messages using messenger - Google Pixel XL Questions & Answers

I am the PR for my motorcycle group and I need to send out individual messages to my members (around 70 at a time). Currently I am using "Group Texting" from the play store and this has worked prefecture on my note 4 and note 7. This app allows me to toe up a text message (some times it is longer than 160 characters) and select the individuals I want to get the text and when I press the send button it uses my native texting app (this case it is messenger) and sends out individual text messages. While it is sending out these messages I start to get a message "Sending SMS Messages, SMS Messenger is sending a large number of SMS messages. Do you want this app to continue sending messages?" I have the choice of "Allow" of "Deny". I have press "Allow" multiple times thinking these messages are going out. When I go to the Messenger app I see some that went and a ton that show "message not sent, resend" in red.
Now I could blame the "Group Texting" app but when I go into the messages that have not sent and tap resend I get about 10 done then start getting the same message again "...large number messages. ...", so I think it is an android setting somewhere. I raged this issue and found the same issue was on the nexus phone also. Their fix was to root the phone, I really don't want to do that as of yet. If this can not be fixed I may have to trade this phone off and go back to a samsung.
Any ideas?

In the Google Messenger settings one of the options for group messages is to send as single SMS messages or group MMS messages. Toggle the setting to SMS and compose your text with desired members, no need for a second app. Settings > Advanced > Group Messaging.

Has something changed on group texting? I thought this feature was the old group texting where it limits to you only 10 recipients at a time. I am wanting to end up with individual threads for all text messages I send out. So I could end up with 70 threads when I send out a group message.

I guess I've never tried to do more than 10 so I am not sure if that is possible or not. I generally keep my setting to MMS (group text) instead of SMS (mass text), but have toggled it once in a while if I want to send the same thing to several people but don't want a group text going.

Unbelievable - I to am also in a motorcycle club and send out sms notifications to apx 120 members - I am unabllke to now since i bought my google pixel xl - I have exactly the same problem - I have rung telstra and Google and they say it is the others problem ? it is driving me mad - help ?

Hello,
This is a built-in Android security feature. It limits how much messages can be sent within a certain amount of time.
In order to remove the limit, changes need to be done in:
/system/framework/telephony-common.jar
Upload a copy of your "telephony-common.jar" if you want and I'll try looking into it...
Cheers...

Hello,
Like you guyz someone in the N6P forum had a similar issue and managed to modify their telephony-common.jar to send more SMS within a certain amount of time...
Unfortunately, you need Root and a file explorer to extract the archive here: /system/framework/telephony-common.jar
So i decompiled it and here are the two values that are used to set limits:
Code:
const-string/jumbo v1, "sms_outgoing_check_max_count"
.line 263
const/16 v2, 0x1e
Code:
const-string/jumbo v1, "sms_outgoing_check_interval_ms"
.line 267
const v2, 0xea60
Both values can be set to whatever numbers in hexadecimal you want...
If you want to test, just send me your telephony-common.jar. I guess this archive should be the same no matter what ROM you're on, but not 100% sure...
Cheers...

I have seen something like this in other posts and googling this issue. Rooting my phone may be my last resort to get my SMS to work correctly. I am just pissed Google will not admit it is their operating system that is doing and not the app or the wireless provider.
Thanks for the find. I may go ahead and root my phone.

Basically, I'm using a very convenient service which is called Atomic SMS Sender. It works perfectly and does it's job quickly :good:

forwarding text messages

i own a HTC 8525 and I was wondering if there are any programs out there.. or any settings that allow you to forward you text messages to another number?
In text message menu> reply> forward
In inbox menu> reply> forward or hold on txt and forward.
Not sure about specific programmes though.
but how do i reply with the sms message being copied? u know, just like in emails where they keep previous txts when replying. Is it able to be done instead of copy & paste...

That would probably not be a great idea, since SMSes are charged per block, starting with a block of 160 characters. You would be charged for two SMSes when you exceed 160 characters and are below, if I recall correctly, 306 characters. And so on and so forth.
But in terms of answering your question, I think the best way is just copypasta...
Need same thing - not much help so far - SMS Fwd
I just did a search for the same question. I have a friend that is recieving a text message from a forex trader that he wants to be automatically forwarded to me. Perhaps we can have text message sent to a number that would automatically forward it out to both of us? Surely there is a way or a product that does this? THANKS FOR YOUR HELP

[Q] Split texts over 160 characters. Is there a fix?

I have two related mediocre annoyances with text massages:
1. When sending a text greater than 160 characters, the receiver receives it split as two, starting with "(1/2)..." and "(2/2)...".
2. When receiving a text message greater than 160 characters, I not only see the same "(1/2)," but when it should be only two separate texts, it gets split into three and almost always out of order.
I've tried the stock messaging app, handcent, chomp, and go sms...same thing for all of them. I understand that this mostly has to do with Verizon's CDMA network. Is there anything that can be done in custom ROMs or Messaging apk's to fix this?
My info:
Network: Verizon
Phone: Galaxy Nexus
ROM: AOKP M3
Kernel: Matr1x
160 characters is the limit for sms text messages for every phone on the planet.
its the limit of the sms system, not the phones or the cellphone companies.
This is definitely just how SMS works.
That is an option in the settings of the SMS application. Normally, the message is joined automatically by the receiver phone, unless you specify that the GN has to split it itself.

Yes, I'm well aware of that. However, the text messages are not getting rejoined by neither sender nor receiver as they should be.

group text message

so ive tried handcent, gosms and pansi and all seem to have the same problem.
When ever i try to send a group text message i get an undelivered error message. Now weather its because a contacts number is incorrect or what ever other reason no one else in the group will get the message.
Is there a limit to how many recipients i can send a message? On my evo i couldnt add any more than 40.
This is getting rather frustrating especially being that i am pass my 14 day trial period on this phone. Im starting to think i shouldve waited for the HTC One to come out
Try Group SMS free. It allows you to send through your normal carrier or a Google voice account....which is free texting. I use it all the time!
Hope this helps.
ok ive downloaded the app mentioned but cant figure out how to forward a message. I tried copying from the phones messenger app but wont let me paste, and this app wont allow me to view my messages.

Hangouts SMS problem

I noticed that when receiving some international SMS sometimes the numbers don't show "+"
And hangouts gets screwed up.
For example I'm texting someone in UK using +44XXXXXX number
They respond but now the number looks like 44XXXXXX without +
So hangouts doesn't associate the incoming message with the same contact and decides to open a new thread. But I cannot even respond to message in the same thread because I need the + sign. So now I'm receiving messages in one thread and sending them in another.
I don't remember ever having this problem with stock messages app. How can I fix this?

[Q] Text Messages Compiled help

I have a problem that i have tried to google but haven't came up with any results, maybe i'm asking the wrong way but this is a big issue for me personally.
some contacts i have (eg John) uses to mobile numbers, a personal and business.
i send text messages to both of his numbers depending the time of day and what the messages are concerned.
htc stock text message app compiles both these numbers under the same thread under the same contact name.
so basically when i go into the message thread, i'm seeing messages that i send to his personal and business number.
i can select to view which number for John the messages sent and received but sometimes it gets confusing, not used to
is there a way where i can have 2 John message threads when i get into the stock text message app? as this way will help me determine on what number am i sending to and keep the business to business and personal to personal.
i can't find any setting for that within the app and still have not come across this topic when tried to google
**besides using another 3rd party app like 'GO SMS' is there a way to solve this?
