I don't have a note 2 right now, but probably will soon. I have a couple of questions about the recent update. When I had the note 2 a few months back, I had something that bothered me about messaging that I wanted to find out was changed or not.
When receiving a picture message with text included in the same message, does it still show a slide show or does it now allow you to view the photo without saving it and going to the gallery to see it?
When sending and receiving group text messages, does it allow you to view all sent and received messages from everyone included in the group within the same thread, or do the messages come in sorted under the individual contact's name even if they're in your group message?

It still appears as a slideshow, it did that on my S3 and RAZR MAXX as well.
As for the group messaging I want to say it all shows up under one tab together but I may be wrong as I have only use it once.
Why is this not posted in Q&A?

I've recently noticed the slide-show thing too. Is there another messaging thingy we can install to get rid of that annoying problem? I saw that someone posted the ASOP one - does that fix this ??

My wife and I upgraded our phones this weekend, and she got an HTC Rezound. She just received a picture message, replied to it, and it automatically replies to everyone the original picture was sent to. She is using Handcent. There was no notification that it was a group convo, and she did nothing different, but the phone replied to everyone in the convo.
Is this a common problem? Perhaps a Handcent problem?

I can only speak for the stock texting app, but it may help. All group texts will display all the recipients of the text in the inbox letting you know it's a group conversation. When replying it will default to all. To respond to an individual in the group, click on the specific text in the thread and an options Window will pop up. There is an option to reply to individual that you can check. You can use this to reply to the original text or to any of the other recipients responses individually.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Under send message settings it has a send as split thread option.

I noticed now when I send group text they all go in 1 thread but I dont see multiples of the same texts I send. So I checked with a few friends to see if they see my text as a group text and some say yes some say no. Can someone else verify if the ICS messaging infact supports MMS group chat? Currently I use Handcent SMS to accomplish this but its very buggy so it would be great if the ICS built in messaging can do this now.
Didn't this happen on GB also.? Maybe im wrong.

In GB If i sent to a group in that thread there would be 4 or 5 of instance of my text in a row (depending on how many recipient). But with ICS I just see 1 instance of my text. I should rephrase my OP.
EDIT: I think all ICS does is eliminate the multiple texts showing and doesnt really do mms group chat. As I sent another group text and although my outgoing goes in the group thread once they respond I get individual responses. Oh well.
Anyhow also found this thread which I'm hoping will eventually support mms group chat (WIP).

I recently decided enough with Apple/the iphone and so far I am absolutely loving my S3 and android in general. My only major issue is group messaging within the stock messages app.
With the iPhone it would show me in a group text who messages are also sent to and allow me to reply to all within the group.
Is there a particular setting to allow this on the S3 messaging app? I really like the look/theme of the app and would love this functionality. I do realize there are 3rd party messaging apps out there but I wasn't sure if I was missing anything.
Thanks.
It's not possible with the stock sms app, or even the samsung sms app. You need a 3rd party app like GoSMS Pro, or Handcent. There is a setting in each which enables it.
What it does is it combines the MMS's for you when they come in....so at first they come in as "download"...after they download, they go into the correct thread.
Yes it is just add multiple recipients and then send.

Yea, but when the message comes back, it doesn't group the recipients back (if your recipient replied to all). Don't see a way to reply to all either...in the case that someone sends you a group text.

I see this as well. It's a shame since other phones already have the ability.

You can group people together. You can select a group(s) to have your message sent to. If your friends have only one phone number in your contacts it won't ask which one to use, and unfortunately it doesn't remember which ones you picked the next time you start a new conversation (it does remember in the thread). Unless they can reply to all, the responding messages show up as a new thread.
Perhaps you can do this with the ATT MyMsgs app, I don't know.

I heard that the ATT Messages app supports group texting, but you can't initiate a group text...very odd if its true.
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

I have the LG G watch paired with a Moto X and was using Hangouts mostly because of the canned responses and the ability to see the full thread. When replying to a group MMS I see my text in the right thread the same number of times as there are people in the thread but it sends individual messages to each person which makes group chat very confusing. Has anybody seen this or know of it work around?
So just to clarify. If you there are 4 people in the thread my response will show up 4 times in the same thread but each person gets a single SMS from me. Not a group MMS.

Looks like they fixed this in the latest update.
