Hey I tried googling to get an answer, but couldnt find anything concrete, so figured I'd ask the wise people here.
1) Pretty much everytime I get a MMS from an Iphone user, it shows as multiedia message, opposed to a snippet of the message when im in the main all messages area. Is there anyway to get this to show the actual message vs the "mutimedia message" text?
2) Currently running MeanBean, but is there anyway to see all recipients of a group message. Anytime a group message is sent, I can only reply back to the main sender, and not to the whole group. Other members of the group can send me message as part of the chain. At the moment appears that it's only ihpone people. I believe I read this is a draw-back of sense, but couldnt find any concrete info.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for your time.
What app are you using? I use Handcent and the group messaging works fine once I corrected the settings. I also hear Go SMS works well too. I still don't get the sneak peak of the message from iphone users but everything else works.
Go SMS works better for me than the stock message app

So I asked this in the Verizon forum but I figured that I might get more responses over here
Basically my problem is when I send a group message to everyone they all get it at the same time just fine but when someone replies to it I get the message individually and its sent to its own thread. Is this a known issue? Id honestly assume that group messaging would work much like that of the Iphones where the group would have its own chat and it would say in the same exact chat who said what. Is anyone else having this problem? If so how do I fix it? Im running stock everything not rooted at all and im using the stock messaging application.
I know that messages can be forwarded to a group but can you create a "chat group" using stock mms app?

yup I tested it out. There is an option in the settings to allow group conversations and among that when you are making one you have the option to send the message to the other parties separately or if you want it sent as a group convo

Just switch over to the DNA, I had a Note 2 for a few months and now I'm on the DNA (Long story that includes a week with an iPhone5 :cyclops. Is group messaging working for the DNA or is it just me. My Note 2 would group message with NO problems. Just wondering if this is an HTC issue or a Verizon issue.

What app are you using to do messaging? Really should have no problems with it. So question, is it that you can't get it to add more the one person, or are you getting an error while trying to send the message out?
It works fine for me with the stock HTC app.

I am using the stock messaging app. Sorry I didn't further explain. Whats happing is, I can set up the group message just fine (add the reciepiants and it converts to an MMS like it's supposed to). I type the message and hit send. Everybody gets the message but I do NOT get any replies at all. I don't even get replies as an individual text. I get nothing!!!

Maybe they are ignoring you. IJS.
Nah just kidding . are you messaging other providers. sometimes this is a known issue. But no reason why you not getting any. Check your apn setting.
I would believe the ignoring part if I wasn't in the same room with them while I'm trying to figure out what the heck is going on...lol. It is across all three carriers. My Son is on Sprint, one of my daughters is on AT&T and my Wife and my other Daughter are on Verizon. They get the message fine... I get none of there responses (in the group or as a response to the group into my phone as an individual message). When they respond to the group message they all get the message in the same group but I see nothing.
I was on the phone with Verizon for over an hour. They reprovisioned everything on there end. I factory reset the phone to start all over and nothing is helping. I am not rooted... The phone is brand new. Hell I even took the OTA to try and figure this out which sucks because now I can't root the phone.
You check to see if you unchecked the group reply option in the messaging app? Is under settings > mms

Yes I checked that. It is "Checked"
Update on this issue. I got the Verizon Store to give another new phone, based on Tech Support saying they have done all they can do, the only thing left was to exchange the phone out.
Unfortunitly that didn't fix the problem. I can still send out a group text but I still do not receive the any of the replies. A regular SMS text works just fine. Very frustrating.
Hey, folks. I'm new, obviously.
I recently rooted and s-offed my LTEVO. I installed TWRP 2.6.3.0 and CM10.1 Stable (I also installed the exFAT fix). The problem I'm having and that I'm reading a lot of people are having is with MMS. I'm not sure if group messaging falls into MMS or SMS but I can neither send/receive picture or media messages, nor can I SEND group messages (although I can receive them). I'm not sure what's going on behind the scenes, whether there's a fix that I just haven't found (I have done extensive searching/trolling before making a profile to ask this question) or if this is a common issue which may have been resolved in newer builds. Essentially, I was wicked pumped when I found out that I could receive group messages from people because the stock, unrooted LTEVO would receive "multimedia messages" from everyone participating in the conversation individually instead of all within the same thread or whatever you wanna call it. But, as I've come to find out, I can't actually participate in these group sessions, I can only SEE them organized within one text thread (which is still better than stock, but disappointing that it doesn't take one seemingly essential step further). Also, I thought it was just crappy Sprint service, but it seems that I can't send or receive multimedia messages (that aren't in text form). I was excited, again, to see that the preview of the image I was going to send was minimally compressed, if at all. I was sick of sending people screenshots of blurry, illegible caca, but again this feature falls short and now I can't actually send or receive any form of media.
Anyway, any help would be greatly appreciated. I can't seem to figure out what I'm doing wrong, or maybe what I'm just NOT doing right. At any rate, if anyone could shed some light on my unfortunate situation that'd be stellar. I'm forced to use Voxer for the time being.
I'm having the same problem. Any assitance is welcome!
I can't say I completely understand your issue but will give an answer with my best guesstimate as to a fix.
You are trying to group messages with others that have iPhones. iPhones natively send texts as mms while android natively sends as sms. Hence your problem (I think).
You need to use a third party messaging app. There are a couple that handle this but I use Go Sms Pro. It allows you to send and receive texts all while staying in the group without splitting the messages.
Once you install go sms pro you need to change a few settings in the app (you can find the correct group settings on Google easily) and disable the notifications from the stock messaging app (so you don't get multiple notifications for one text).
Hope this is what you were asking about as it is an issue for a lot of people.

I just swtiched to CM11 on my Nexus 5. In google hangouts the text messaging doesnt seem to be behaving the same now. Problem i am having is with group messages. I send text to 4 or 5 people at once but their responses all come back in separate messages to me. they look like they are just to me but it seems from responses that they are to everyone in group. It didnt do this before. If i sent messages to group, all their responses came back in the same message thread. if i had seperate message to someone it was in its own thread. please help because this is very annoying. there has to be a setting or something that got switched
I think using google hangouts its meant for that to happen if I am correct. If your sending a text it sends to individually but if you send a hangout messages thats a group message.

It definitely wasn't doing this before. Send a group message and it wouldn't seperate into individual messages. It absolutely shouldn't be sending me a message that looks like it's from one person and only going to me but actually is going to a group.

Anybody out there help me or see how this works in hangouts for them? I am 99% positive it didnt work this way before and it makes no sense for it to. Stupid if somebody can send me a group message and i think its just from them and only way to respond to everyone is create new message to all of them.

Bump. Having the same issue. Did you fix the problem?
Afternoon...
When receiving group messages there's 1 user who's messages I can't view for some reason.
I get the pop-up and can read part of the message in preview but when I open the group message it doesn't show the actual message.
As far as I can tell it's only from this one person. I used to receive messages from them previously without a problem.
Anyway, figured I'd see if anyone has some ideas on how to fix this.
I should add, other folks I know (iPhone users) are able to see his messages just fine. He's using either a Windows phone or an Android... not sure which, but def. not an iPhone.
Oh, and I'm using the stock messaging app too...
Thanks!
Any suggestions?
