In some chatting apps, friend A sends a message saying aaa, at the same time friend B sends a message saying bbb.
On notification bar, it displays "2 messages from xxx" but not "message aaa from A" AND "message bbb from B",
That is, the messages are merged together and I can't read each contents of messages in a quick view.....
So, is it possible not to merge messages in android? like iOS?
You can try Espier Messages 7

thanks for your reply, but I really don't want to use a new chatting app....I just want to realize this function by some options or some add-on apps.

Every time a text message is sent to my Google Voice number, I get 2 identical messages simultaneously: one in my google voice app, and one in my phone's "Messaging" app - and I get charged by T-mobile for the text message, even though it was sent to my Google Voice number??? Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.

Disable the "Receive text messages on this phone" option in GV.
But I'd like to receive text messages on this phone via GV.. why would I want to disable that?
because it will still go to the google voice app, just not directly to the phone's text messaging program.

That makes no sense, but I did it anyway and it didn't work. I disabled text messaging option and sent a text message to my GV number - my phone didn't get anything. Sorry, but I don't understand how you expected that to work. Thanks anyway...
If you turn off the "receive text messages on this phone" the sms will still go to the google voice app inbox but not be forwarded to the "real" phone number as well. You check the texts and respond to them there, not through the default texting app. You disable this property by going to google voice (the website) going to the phone tab, finding your phone under "forwards to:", and clicking edit.
Oh, I'm sorry... I misread. However, after I disabled "receiving text messages on this phone", my GV app on the phone stopped notifying me of new text messages in my GV inbox, which is why I didn't think it would work. So now I need to figure out why it's not notifying me of new texts at all.
Nevermind - it arrived, but delayed.
Thanks for taking the time to explain. I appreciate your help.
No problem. If you setup the texts to forward to your email address or setup a separate one simply for the texting, you can receive notifications that way as well.
As long as the phone app notifies relatively promptly, that'll work. I was just worried because I never changed any settings in my GV account, and on my previous phone (Motorola Cliq), all texts only came to the GV app and never to the main messaging program.
I've been unwillingly receiving some advertisement sms which charge my account once the sms is opened.
Is there a way to delete an sms message without opening it?.
TIA
Ur best bet is figuring out how to stop the msgs in first place i think

yes, maybe some kind of code you can send to your operator/advertisement-sender which can stop the automatic messages, i know that kind of msgs sucks just find a way in google, i know different users experience that alot
You can download "SMS Popup" from the market. However you will need to manually configure it into "Privacy Mode" (or something similar). Once done, you will get a popup everytime you get a message, along with 3 options to "Open Message", "Delete" (without opening) or "Go to inbox".
I had the SMS POpup on my stock ROM but don't need it now on MIUI...
Thanks.
Are you sure it doesn't open the sms?
The android market page for this app reads:
NOTE: SMS Popup does mark message as "read"
so as far as the mobile carrier is concerned, the sms has been received & read, so it will still charge for those spam sms.
@mike,
pls refer to my previous post - the app opens the SMS by default - but once you go to settings and enable privacy mode, it won't read the msg. A message is not marked as 'Read' as long as it's in privacy mode and you don't specifically open it. (Even the LEDs will continue blinking till u don't open the message)
It's a free app, so u can download and check that out.
Thanks for the info
If your with vodafone phone the operator and they will ban the number from your sim

SMS popup is nice, but does it show a history of all the sms, like the stock sms app on A2.1 does?
Also, to avoid duplicate notifications I've unchecked the "notifications" in the stock sms app, but it no longer shows incoming messages in the messages log. is this a bug, or is this related to sms popup "hijacking" the sms?
TIA
Is there a way to block all of the group messages that are sent from the iPhone iChat???? Like 8 of my friends have a iPhone so whenever they send a message to the group it comes to be from that person individually but with the heading
"[Subject: New Message]"
And I cannot block them or stop the notifications since I am in the group of the chat. Any suggestions besides asking them to not include me since they will just do so to annoy me lol
Sounds to me like its an MMS message - If I send an MMS message with no subject it comes across the same way.
Can they use the subject field would that help?

If they use change the subject field it won't help block the messages. Even if I select to not auto-receive the MMS messages I still get the notification and every message from the group. I wouldn't mind if they got sent to one entry and it was just a running chat message basically. But every time each contact messages the group I get a individual message from them. So if 8 people are in the Chat I get a message from each of the 8 every time they reply. Has no one else come across this yet?????????????
Seriously. So sick of that feature for every non-iPhone user.
There has to be a fix or a way to block these. You may receive 100 messages in one day, for me at least 100, from the group chat. very very very annoying! Any suggestions
I'm using Hangouts as my main SMS with a LG G2.
I want to send the same message to multiple recipients... But i do not want everyone's responses to be seen as if it was a chat. How do I do this? (Mass SMS?)
What if i want to create a message chat/group where everyone can see others responses. How do I do this? (Group SMS?)
That's 2 different things I want to do. This was easy to do with my stock SMS. But it's not so clear with hangouts.
Thanks in advance.

You can add groups on hangouts this way:
open the chat on any contact with whom you want to create a group.
Tap on the three dotted line on the top right corner of the screen for settings
Go to "People and Option"
From there you will find the list of all your hangouts contacts. You can add as many contacts you want.

OP is not asking how to add additional recipients. My understanding is that he's asking how to mass message a group to keep responses individual. In Google Voice, I could send a text message to a maximum of five recipients. Each person would perceive that the message was only sent to him/her. Each would respond and I would be able to then be able to have individualized conversations with each recipient.
After the integration of Hangouts and Google Voice, I, too, have not been able to figure out how to send a single SMS to multiple recipients. I would like to know if someone has figured this out.
I am playing about with Hangouts, nd have set it as my default SMS app.
I have a group contact on my phone called "Team". I would like to send a message to everyone in Team through Hangouts. However it doesn't appear in the contact list?
I was able to do this with stock app.

You can try to add them to a Google + circle and then you can group message them.
Every Android user is having a Google account so it would be easy to just hangout a circle.

Ok I was able to add everyone to a circle called "Team". BUT not everyone is an android user, I had to add some people via email address.
When I open Hangouts and try to send a SMS to this circle, it is creating a hangout. It doesn't appear to be using SMS? There is no "SMS" in the bottom left of the screen beside where you type your message. How do I know if it will text everyone?
