Hello,
i was wondering if there was a mod/tweak out there that would let me put group chat on the default messaging app. I know about go sms and handscent sms, but each has its own problem. I have a Verizon GS3 and was hoping there was a way to do this.
You can add multiple names while creating a new sms. But they will receive your text as a normal p2p text. ie. If you add X,& Y as recipients in your group text, what ever you send will be received by X, Y and what ever text sent by X, Y will be received by you but X can't see what Y sent to you and vice versa. A better group chat alternative is whatsapp!

Your in luck! Verizon makes a very good app (I know I said good and Verizon in the same sentence) but really, the Verizon messaging app is as close to perfect you're going to get for group texting.
If your into Cyanogen Mod... CM 10.1 (android 4.2 base) finally has group texting built in. This also works real well.

Really?! I had no idea android 4.2 had this build in. I was gonna flash a nightly today to see how stable it is.

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows of a mod that allows android users to group text with iphone users using default htc messaging app. Currently, I get a seperate text from people who are in my group text, it gets a little annoying.
I'm tried using go sms....but doesn't state if you have any unread messages unless you have a widget. Also, it requires data to always be active.
If all else fails...I could stick it out with go sms...
I'm hoping Google adds this feature to future Android builds.

What you want is Threaded Group SMS. Yeah it'd be cool.
We could always request such a thing from HTC & on a slimmer chance, Google.

try the Groupme app in the play store. works great and there's even a SMS option if you dont want to use the app.
Hi,
I saw in the dev forum that the Camera, clock and keyboard from 4.2 have been pulled over and can be installed on the DNA. I was wondering if its feasible (even possible) to do the same for the messaging app. One of the big features of 4.2 (in my mind, having many iPhone friends) is the group chat threading baked into stock message app.
I realize there are 3rd party apps (Go SMS and Handcent) and that I can use them, I just think it would be nice to have that feature with the "stock" message app (stock from 4.2 in this case).
Thanks!
oh, my first post too (just got DNA today)

I get threaded group chat on stock? if we are talking about the same thing.
Anyways, have you tried the AOSP apk? it might just work?
The stock HTC messaging app 100% has group messaging like the iPhone. I use it every day for group projects in school.
Does the 4.2 messaging app even have native group messaging?
Also, the stock HTC messaging app kind of blows beyond this. It's beautiful, but its redraws are the most annoying thing about this phone. There is no reason that a quad core, 2GB RAM phone should have redraws in a simple messaging application.

I agree. The redraws drive me nuts and I always try other messaging apps but end up back on the stock HTC one.
The stock messaging app does have group messaging. I would rather have the stock Android messaging app though. I'm just not crazy about the htc one. It would be awesome if we could get a stock one that works really good with mms too.
The Update date ? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I'm running CM 10.1 one of the newer nightlies for my Samsung Galaxy S3 on US Cellular. I cannot receive emojis from anyone but myself. It does not work if they are sent from an iPhone or an Android phone. If anyone has any insight on why this is occurring that would be great because I am clueless.
When I receive a text with an emoji the text spaces out l i k e t h i s and is followed with ?=? or something similar where the emoji is. I've tried goSMS, handcent, and iPhone messaging. I haven't discovered a solution yet and it was happening before when I was on cm10 too.
Maybe your androidemoji.ttf is missing. Check on your system/fonts....

Yes, I have it installed. I can view emojis in all other apps and I can send them. I just cannot receive them from anyone via sms
I can view them system wide, I just cannot receive them from anyone.
Edit: I can receive them when they are sent by mms just not sms

I wouldn't mind using the messenger app if it wasn't themed like Facebook. I don't use Facebook messenger, so I just enabled sms/MMS and it's just like using a regular messaging app. Just ugly

Search chat heads on google play. You will have an application ready for you. But the only problem is that, right now, the developer hasn't yet made it to move freely on the screen

Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
Well, I've figured out something I didn't know, which bothered me, I thought it stored my SMS to facebooks servers, though it seems it doesn't. When a conversation is deleted from the stock SMS app, if you check the Facebook messenger, its no longer there. And if I checked on my tablet its not there, so it seems just like its an overlay of sorts just pulling the information from the stock app, which I'm okay with. Just didn't want it to be stored to Facebook's stuff

Facebook Messenger only has sms integration for certain devices. Maybe yours isn't supported?

Ok, so tried chat heads app, Facebook chat heads, ninja sms, notify me, notifypro plus, wp8 notification banner app, light flow ....
All of these apps have since sort of a popup or banner, but the best seems to be light flow which can be customized for each app, each contact separately. If you really want the text icon on home, and simple pop ups don't do it for you, then fb implementation is by far the best one, albeit no contact wise notifications or customization.

This may seem obvious, but you need to go to the settings and select the contacts you want (or all contacts)
First, let me say love this phone.
I received an MMS, which i could tell was a group text sent to multiple people. I could read the text and see who sent it, but I was unable to see any other recipients who it was sent to. On my Nexus 4's stock messaging app, it would show the other numbers that the message was sent to. Is there anyway to enable this? Not sure if it matters, but I know it was sent from an iPhone, and was sent to myself and another iphone.
Edit- Also confirmed that my response was only sent to the original sender.
Thanks!
I don't own the G2 yet, but a great text app alternative on the Play Store is called 'Textra', and it looks just like stock Android, very system light, and super fast. It allows group messaging, and works perfectly, I always text my two brothers, one is on an iPhone, the other a Nexus, and we can keep a conversation going in one thread.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely check out Textra, if I can't get the stock app figured out.

I find 'Textra' the best MMS App on the Play Store. It's very light, basic and simple. Super fast, smooth as butter, and looks and acts like stock Android messaging App.

Looks like you have a Nexus 4, may I ask why you choose to use Textra over the stock App?

Just installed Textra and tested it. Sent a group text same from iphone to my g2 and another iphone. I received the group text in normal fashion w/ both people, however my reply was sent as a new message to the original sender and not in the original group text thread. Any idea how to fix that?
Edit - NVM, I found the MMS settings in the app, had to enable MMS for group texts and it seems to work now.
