After the july or june update... I noticed that I can no longer share to text conversations that contain more than 2 other recipients.
I've been getting no where with Samsung support via twitter..and At&t said the updates was all samsungs fault...
But if I want to share anything, from any app, or the within the native OS... for example, if I go to pictures, select a picture and hit Share > select messages > the conversations > I should see all of the conversations that are available on the phone via the native messages app.
But I don't.
Any text/conversation that has more has more than 2 other recipients (a group of 3 including me) is not listed at all. Missing.
and they're not under "Groups" either... And "group conversations" is turned in the settings obviously...
I have a group texts of 4 members and one with 5 .. whatever I need to send them, I have to save it first..then go straight to messages and hit + there to send it.
why the **** would they remove this functionality?
am I the only person seeing this?

GS2 allows me to send SMS to contacts no more than 10 Even more annoying is, that also email addresses are counted in a group list. Although I'm writing SMS and try to add the contact group in it, the list shows both the phone numbers and email addresses!!! Helpdesk said: "It is possible to tick the whole group at once, if you have contacts 10 or less." So, if all of them have email too, I can have a group list of 5 contacts max!!!
Is there any chance to get rid of this limit???
Same question
I have a limit to 10 contacts per time to select

Hi,
There's something I'd like to do on my samsung galaxy note that I was able to do on my Symbian-based device in the past, but I can't figure out how to do it under Android.
I'd like to save multiple SMS drafts per recipient. However, my Galaxy note 2 only seems to permit me to save one SMS draft per recipient, with each subsequent draft overwriting the previous draft for that same recipient.
Here's why I'd like to have this capability:
If I want to type a long SMS to someone (more than 160 characters), what I like to do is split the message at logical places such as after commas, sentence endings, etc. I would do this by getting close to the end of a given SMS message and then stopping it at the point that I choose, saving it as a draft, and then continuing my text in a new SMS starting at the beginning of the next sentence, phrase, etc. Then, once the set of drafts is completed, I will first proofread and make corrections in the entire group of drafts, and only then will I manually send them off, one after the other.
Yes, I know I can type a long message and the SMS app will automatically split it into pieces after 160 characters, but that often splits words or breaks sentences and phrases in places that I don't want them broken.
Here's how I try to accomplish this on my G1:
Invoke the Messaging app.
Select New Message.
Select recipient.
Compose first SMS.
Select the Back key (draft 1 gets saved).
Select New Message.
Select same recipient as before.
Compose second SMS.
Select the Back key (draft 2 gets saved).
However, at this point, draft 1 has been overwritten by draft 2. In other words, only draft 2 remains.
Can anyone think of a way for me to accomplish what I want (or at least something similar) on my samsung galaxy note 2?
Thanks in advance.
no one ??
This isn't possible in the stock messaging app. You can use GO SMS Pro or Handcent SMS, which allow you to create folders and save messages in them just like in Symbian. So you can save parts of the long message in a folder and send them one by one. I like to use the stock messaging app in my devices though, so the way I do this is to type out the message till the limit, copy it and paste it in a note taking app, then copy it back to the messaging app when I need to send it. In ICS and JellyBean, when you select a bunch of text to copy, you get a share button to directly share it by SMS and other stuff. So it's very easy and doesn't involve copy-pasting twice. I just select, share, done. I find this to take the same number of steps and be just as easy as saving to a folder and sending. If you must do it that way, then one of the above apps should be right for you.
I regularly send long messages, sometimes even 10-15 messages long if I'm copy-pasting some stuff from the internet to someone, but I've never experienced your problem or messages breaking up and missing content. They just reach the recipient as one big message. Although, this behaviour is dependent on the mobile network provider, so I can't speak for yours. But I have never seen this happen with any GSM provider I'm my country. I'm guessing yours must be CDMA?

Could you please tell me which note taking app you use with ics thank you in advance. Tom
This is merely a work-around for how to work on multiple drafts to a recipient. First add your name and mobile device phone # to your Contacts List. Refine your first draft as thoroughly as possible. Then address that message to your own mobile device phone #, and send it. You'll see that message twice, as both your "Sent" & your "Received" message. Your first draft is "parked" in your mobile device's phone #. Now you can work on your next draft, as you would normally. If you decide to send your first draft to the recipient, just forward it from your mobile device's inbox!
So I have a bunch of friends with iPhones, and they threw me into a group chat (not that it matters but we're organizing a martini night). As you guys probably know as android users, this presents a problem as the group messages are received as individual texts, normally with a <no subject> header, and as a result, you can't reply to the chat, but have to respond to each member individually (or send a mass text each time).
I'm wondering if there's simply a way to group (on my end only) those contacts together, so that any message I receive from them shows up as a group chat, which I can then reply to all. I would still get the <no subject> headers, but at least this way the messages could be organized and I could read the conversation without having to look at each contact separately and compare the message with the timestamp from when it was sent.
The apps I've seen (like POWOW) can create chat groups, but it requires that my friends join the chat, or reply to some strange number each time, and it's really just an unnecessary hassle for them. I don't want that.
Anyone know of an app, or a way of grouping contacts together like this?
I'm on CM7 using the "Messaging" app.
Handcent has this feature. Free @ play store.

I am a Project Fi user and have had this issue on both my Nexus 6 and Pixel 2. I typically use the stock Android Messages app, but have occasionally used GoSMS Pro with the same results. When I send a large text message that is split into multiple messages, everyone (as far as I know) says the messages are received out of order. Something tells me this isn't related to the app, but through the service itself, but I have no proof of that - just speculation. It would be nice if I could convert multiple SMS messages into MMS, but I don't see that option.
Any thoughts?
I have created contact groups (carried over from S7). I can't seem to send group text messages.
I select "messages" icon, then, "New message" icon.
My groups do not show up in the text messaging app, though it does in the phone contacts.
And even in contacts I have to choose the entire group (I can't select just a few.)
Any thoughts.
TIA
Same issue here... No "fix" from Samsung and tmoble
Same issue
Just want to add my request for any possible solution to this problem. I'm attempting to send a group text from within the actual texting app -- not leaving it to go into Contacts first -- and for some reason, groups aren't listed in the separate contacts sub-heading. Seems like a boneheaded design decision.
I spoke to Samsung about this. Apparently the ability to choose a "group" from within the messaging app was removed with the Oreo update. SMH
