[q] how to stop receiving group texts - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

Does anyone know how to "opt out" of Group texts.
When you get in one of those you get twenty million texts and they wont stop
soooo annoying.
is there a way to stop them?

You could use hangouts and silence the conversation.

[Q] Are long texts sent in parts?

Vodafone have recently been charging me for text messages, even though I'm within my limit.
I emailed them, and they said some texts/calls are chargable. One of the charges was for "Picture messages, long texts etc"
Now, I often do send long texts (although I always have done and have never been charged before...)
My question is, does the Hero split long texts up into two messages on the recipient's phone, or does it send it as MMS?
Wassup Looie..
If they go over a cetain limit... i think its 4+ texts.. it will convert it to a MMS and sent it that way instead of 4 split texts.
I just tried texting some1 with 4 pages worth of text.. and it refuses to send i dont think i have MMS set up. But i remember sum1 text me a long message, and i recieved a 1kb MMS msg instead of texts. So maybe thats why they're charging u!

yeah, I've never sent a text message over 4 texts, especially not 30 times!
Guess I'm going to have to ring up again
Thanks

gTalk problems... annoying ones.

So I have this awkward problem with gTalk.
Let's say I talk with someone on gTalk on the mobile. If I open up the laptop or if I'm already online on the laptop and start chatting there then the phone stops buzzing me with new messages. It knows that I'm now on the laptop.
However, this only happens with some contacts, with others, it doesn't matter if I start chatting on the computer, the phone keeps behaving like I receive new messages and continues notifying me for each new incoming line, which is... more than annoying in a conversation.
Anyone knows how can I fix this? How can I make gTalk realize that I'm now chatting with that person on the computer and that it can stop buzzing me?

No voice call if receiving text?

Has anyone noticed an issue with voice calls going directly to voice-mail if they come through at the same time as sending or receiving texts?
Background:
I have G-voice installed and running strictly as my voicemail service. This works out well for me as it will send me an email notification of a missed call whereas without it if I have no coverage and someone calls me I would never know about it.
I am a Firechief for an oil refinery and I use the phone as my fire call-out pager too. Its rather important that I get my calls.
I have noticed in the past that people would tell me they called but it went to my voicemail. After installing and using G-voice for voice mail, sure enough when they told me that, I would get a missed call notification from G-voice.
We use a call-out system called Send Word Now that will send me a voice call and a text message together when activated. Apparently is at exactly the same time because when I tested it I would only ever get the text mesage and a missed call notification.
My Question:
Has anyone else noticed this and figured out why? It would seem that with a 4G connection and all the data bandwidth available the phone should have no problem doing both. In fact, I can get plenty of text mesaages or incoming calls if I am already talking on the phone.
Just as an update to my own thread in case anyone searches this oddity. The messaging center today informed me that they know of the issue and ALL phones and providers will act the same way. As in, if you get an oncoming call at the same time you are sending or receiving a text the call will go straight to voicemail.

Silent SMS

Is there a way to stop texts sent from a specific contact from ringing or vibrating? However, I do want the SMS to come through WITHOUT being blocked.

Delay in sending messages on whatsapp/messenger and receiving notification from apps

There is proper delayed of 10-15 seconds in between the moment I press send and the message is sent (1 tick appears) from my Sprint M9, the delay happens on all apps and it happens on WIFI and Mobile data both. This has really frustrated me and I really want to get rid of it already. Apart from that when I receive messages on whatsapp or snapchat I get the notification an hour or two late, this although doesnt happen with messenger, notifications of messenger are received instantly. Please help
