Hi all,
I was wondering if you guys have the same problem as me, or if you know a solution for my problem.
I want to use google messenger, however when I send a text to somebody and they respond, GM opens a new thread.. As a consequence, all my conversations are in are going in in multiple threads..
edit: or if somebody knows how to turn off the encrypted messaging of Signal/Textsecure.. would be a help too.
edit2: found it on the Signal website.. This can be closed/deleted.

Hi Mojar,
Haven't actually fixed it yet. I do know why it's working this way.
It has to do with the number. If it includes the country code, it will appear in the same thread. If the number does not contain the country code, your recipient will receive the text, however the reply number will include the country code and therefore the messenger sees this as a different contact, I guess.
Hope this is clear enough [emoji4] let me know if you find an easy fix. I did find an app in the playstore called "add country code", but haven't tried it yet.

Hello,
Thanks for the response. I tried using the app you mentioned but it seems to complicated to use. So I'll just deal with the multiple threads. Maybe an update may fix it.
Other option would be to use another messaging app like WhatsApp or similar.
Update: Disabled Google messenger and I am now using textra app in the play store. Group messages works great and looks much better.
Hi,
I am facing the same issue there.
The fact is that I already checked for different country code numbers, but it does not seem to be the problem as I have the issue with the exact same number.
Messenger and Go SMS keep creating a new thread.
Textra is working fine, but I don't like it.
Same with the new OTA (2.1.3. Build 23/11/2015) ?
Same thing with 2.1.3, yes.
It's an oxygen thing because no other roms have this issue. I actually like messenger but don't use it with my oneplus phones because of this. I use Textra.

Hi guys, I hope you can tell me something.
I came from an Htc HD which obviously had Sense.
I was used to the fact that sms from contacts with multiple numbers were grouped by name.
So if John had more then one phone, and sent me messages from all his phones, they would all appear as John's messages (same thread).
Now I came to Android, I installed a number of different messaging apps, and none does the same.
Is it just me that needs such a feature?
Is it even possible on Android?
Go SMS Pro, Messaging, Handcent SMS, all show the exact same behaviour: a thread for each number!
So now my friend John has two or three threads, depending on which phone he has in his reach at the moment...
I can't believe I'm the only one that can't stand this...

Managed to install successfully the Whatsapp Messenger over my 10.1 HTC JetStream which means that i can send/receive Text, Pictures, Videos from & to my tablet, either over WiFi or Cellular. This is great as i can photo with my tablet and send it to any mobile phone that run's whatsapp and its FREE. Same goes for receiving Text or pictures.
Its a great way to communicate FREE from my tablet.
Didn't managed to download the apk file from the market so i googled for it and just installed it, registered & it work.
BTW - The HTC JetStream is SIM Unlocked - was locked to ATT when i got it and easily managed to have it working on ORANGE network. see other thread in the forum.
As stated earlier, whatsapp works great on the Jetstream.
One small issue is that i do not able to see the contact list wheni want to compose a message to someone who didn't text me earlier. The contact list in the "compose message" is empty. anyone got the same issue ?
Any idea how to resolve it ?

I'm using text + which lets you send a text to anyone in your Google contacts and also shows you the list. Not to thrilled about the randomly assigned number when you sign up, but it does work for SMS and MMS.
how did u install whatsapp?
where did u get the APK from?

Hello everyone,
I recently wanted to group text with people with iphones and one blackberry and needless to say it was a disaster. I have tried both the stock messaging app and SMS go, and both fail miserably when receiving and sending texts that are in a group thread, I receive them all separately and send them all separately. Is there an app to do this?
I have a LG Nitro HD on ATT.
And yes i have tried Google and searching the forums only to find people not coming up with an answer.
Thank you so much for your help
Does your phone have an SMS mode? I know mine does. Also if it doesnt try Slate Droid forums or Android Central. Hope this helps!
What do you mean SMS mode?
bump, does no one know the answer???
I think textplus offers free group texting

I would suggest checking out Kik messenger. I haven't researched the group messaging apps in a few months, but I know Kik was always pretty good about speedy receipt of messages, and it looks like it is back on Blackberry too (it had been removed from AppWorld for a bit). Kik will also allow you to send pictures. There may be another solution or two that would also solve your problem, so search around for apps similar to kik.
Hope that helps.
How about this?:

Hi!
So .. I'm having the following issue.. wich is bugging me quite a bit.
I recently started using Google Hangouts instead of SMS (TextMessaging), and I'm very fond of it.
The only issue I have is that the numbers I havent added any areacode to gets the areacode for Sweden (+46),
and this is ONLY on Google Hangouts.
When I go back to the regular SMS app, the areacode is removed, and I can again send SMS without sending it to Sweden first.
I'm from Norway if it matters (+47). But the phone itself is imported from Sweden, but I'm using Norwegian as language.
So I cannot understand why this should be an issue.
Anyone got any info on the matter?
Edit: And yes. I checked my gmail. I have my country set to Norway.
And I just doublechecked that it werent my Backup Pro that messed things up (since I know app+data backup\sms backup can sometimes be a bit wierd.),
because I checked with only the original google drive backup that comes with android, and I still got +46 as the area\countrycode when
texting a number without +XX infront of the number when using Google Hangouts.
I just find it very wierd. There is no reason for Google Hangouts to pick +46, right ?
Except the fact that the phone is imported from Sweden.
As another Norwegian, I have the exact same problem. The Hangouts app adds +46 as the country code to all my numbers without an already existing prefix (I even think it added +45 at one point, which is the prefix to Denmark).
I bought my phone (HTC One) from a Tele2 outlet in Norway. Tele2 is a Swedish mobile operator company, so quite possibly my phone is the Swedish version (I don't know how to verify that).
Also, my default country code in Gmail is set to Norway.
Could this be a bug?
Edit: Also, when I use the default SMS app from HTC, no problems occur (as with OP dmbardal). That is, the app doesn't prefix any area code.

Same for me, just noticed the bug in hangouts. Seem there are some issues with norwegian in general om android these days. Earth cannot search if system language is set to Norwegian, and Drive won't open New Google sheets.

I have Tele2 and I believe this to be some kind of "dial assist" making Hangouts believe that since tele2 uses Swedish simcarda, that I am trying to dial to my home network, and that I'm roaming abroad when I am indeed in Norway messaging a Norwegian number.
A are all of you also tele2-customers?

I have the exact same problem and yes I am a tele2-customer. I think what you're writing about Sweden could be the problem. Google probably didn't think of that scenario when they added this. A fix would be greatly appreciated! At least there should be a way to override the setting it gets from the sim.
This problem is extremely annoying!
I will write a bug report for google to ignore.

How did the bug report go? Tele2/Nexus 5 user here with the exact same problem. Sometimes it works to store the contact with the area code as well before sending an SMS.
I'm still having the same issue, despite desperately changing everything I can on Youtube, Google Plus, GMail, Hangouts etc.
Still no change.
I recently posted on the Google+ help group to see if anyone got a fix for the issue.
I will report back if I find anything.
This is seriously starting to bug me.

hey i've been living in Vietnam for the last year, and with new google voice integration I tried texting home and just noticed that it would at the VN country code to all my contacts. What I ended up doing was using twitch contact formatter to analyze all my contacts and resave them with the international standard. It did a pretty decent job in recognizing what was Vietnam and what was the US. It might work for you all. I did have to manually process some that got mistaken for VN when they were US numbers.
I was easily able to spot the mistakenly converted contacts by clicking on the VN flag and switching to national convention. This showed me all my "Vietnamese" contacts, and I could easily spot the difference in names. I just reedited those contacts to delete the country code and then processed them.
Hope this helps!
Danish Area Code with TDC
I have same problem. norwegian with TDC subscription. +45 on sms text when they are supposed to be +47. Have changed all the contacts but its annoying when I write new text to new people. Default at +45.
hangouts will automatically add +1 prefix when tring to send short code sms, for me I am attempting to get my data usage from straight talk sending usage to short code 611611, and hangouts will automatically add +1 making the number +1611611, I have figured out that if you delete all messages youve attempted to send in hangouts and your phones default messaging app, go to app manager on your phone, force stop your phones stock messaging app and hangouts app, make your messaging app the default messaging app, create a new contact in phone for the short code i addded the number as name: staright talk and phone number as 611611, send message using phones defsult messaging using the newwly created contact, close messaging app force close and clear cache in app manager on pphone, then make hangouts default messaging app open hangouts and it will retrieve the message from your messages in the default messaging app, and now it will show the number when you selct the message as 611611 the correct short code without adddign the +1, as long as you keep that message in your list and use that converation for any future message to that short code it will work just fine. please feel free to post any questions
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using XDA Free mobile app
I eventually found an easier workaround. In "Contacts", select the contact that has the designated short code to and click the Send Text flag on the right hand side. If Hangouts is your default SMS app, it will open up a Hangouts SMS window with the short code and NOTHING prefixed up front. i.e. it will work ok. Cheers.
Very simple question. Seems like I can't find anyone else who has this question for some reason. I would think that several other people also wonder about this, unless I just simply missed something.
How do I choose a custom mail app for mail? When I choose a theme and click on the widget for email, it asks me to choose Email, Gmail, and Voicemail. However, I use CloudMagic for my email, so this doesn't work for me...
Does anyone have any clue how I can fix this?
There is no clue. Themer only supports gmail at the moment.

Icon notifications for any app has just been released into the beta testing community, so it shouldn't be much longer for that to arrive. However this is different to displaying email counts in Zooper, which is a much more complicated process.
