I need a group messaging fix! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

Every time I send a group message, it comes out as Anonymous. Also if I send a message to a different group it would still be under the Anonymous thread. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks

I'm guessing you are using an international base rom. There is no fix, and I just recommend switching SMS if you need it that bad, like gosms

I use other apps for group messaging.
if you use fb a lot you can just integrate your sms into the app.
It really depends, but I think most people now use a few SMS apps... but it changes so frequently depending on the app popularity.

Sliding Messaging is a nice replacement and the Dev seems very very dedicated to updating and upgrading it.

Yes it's in the official facebook for android app that you can find by searching for it in the play store. Or you can use this app for facebook chat: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.facebook.katana.

You could try Facebook Messenger or Chat (by FriendCaster).
Edit: Beaten .
Yes I know that there is separate apps to use for chat, but it is not like it is on WP.
I want the chat to be integrated in text messages so it all goes in the same inbox and I dont have to use separate apps. This way is much easier and I dont have to go into separate apps to see how to contact people.

No, there is no app for that.

Mod Request

Can someone make a flashable zip with the cm 10 sms app and whatever else is needed to make it work on the stock rom. I tried installing it to system/app, but it crases when sending an mms.... also the black theme built into it didnt work. I hate the fact that the stock sms app sends out slideshows instead of pictures.
It could require a mod of the framework. What do you like about the cm10 msg app and maybe there's an msg app on Google play that someone could suggest.

It requires considerable modding of framework, yes.
Unless you use the ICS messaging app.

By ics message app, are you refering to the one that was included in the factory build of ics? I just want to be able to send mms without sending the images as a slideshow. I was looking at the comments for go messenger and people seemed to have trouble with mms in that app. I figured I would be better off trying to get an oem app.

JB messaging app should work too on Beans. I modded the framework for him and assume he added it in.

[Q] Any chance of 4.2 messaging ported to DNA?

Hi,
I saw in the dev forum that the Camera, clock and keyboard from 4.2 have been pulled over and can be installed on the DNA. I was wondering if its feasible (even possible) to do the same for the messaging app. One of the big features of 4.2 (in my mind, having many iPhone friends) is the group chat threading baked into stock message app.
I realize there are 3rd party apps (Go SMS and Handcent) and that I can use them, I just think it would be nice to have that feature with the "stock" message app (stock from 4.2 in this case).
Thanks!
oh, my first post too (just got DNA today)

I get threaded group chat on stock? if we are talking about the same thing.
Anyways, have you tried the AOSP apk? it might just work?
The stock HTC messaging app 100% has group messaging like the iPhone. I use it every day for group projects in school.
Does the 4.2 messaging app even have native group messaging?
Also, the stock HTC messaging app kind of blows beyond this. It's beautiful, but its redraws are the most annoying thing about this phone. There is no reason that a quad core, 2GB RAM phone should have redraws in a simple messaging application.

I agree. The redraws drive me nuts and I always try other messaging apps but end up back on the stock HTC one.
The stock messaging app does have group messaging. I would rather have the stock Android messaging app though. I'm just not crazy about the htc one. It would be awesome if we could get a stock one that works really good with mms too.
The Update date ? zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Go SMS Pro....Gone Bad

I've been using Go Sms Pro since it first ce to Android. It was hands-down the best sms replacement in my opinion. The last two updates however have changed my opinion about it. They started pushing Ads like those annoying scam apps. The last one in particular made me uninstall it. It now places Ads on the bottom of the screen. I'm done with them.
Is there any app besides Handcent, Chomp, Texter that is a good pop up sms replacement. There are many apps on the market aand I've personally come across some awesome apps that wasn't on the top of the list of best apps. So is anyone has some suggestions on apps they use or come across, I'd appreciate it.

Mysms. If the person you're texting also got it installed then the text will be send over cellular data, else it'll be send as normal sms over your carrier.
I'll look those up.

Handcent sms here, because it has greek sms mode(it removes special characters), any other app that have the same feature?

Np man, it can also be used as a standalone app without the use of the stock messaging app.

you can simply use ad blocker

it is the same one you uses with Mozilla and llinux

Group MMS - Not showing other recipients

First, let me say love this phone.
I received an MMS, which i could tell was a group text sent to multiple people. I could read the text and see who sent it, but I was unable to see any other recipients who it was sent to. On my Nexus 4's stock messaging app, it would show the other numbers that the message was sent to. Is there anyway to enable this? Not sure if it matters, but I know it was sent from an iPhone, and was sent to myself and another iphone.
Edit- Also confirmed that my response was only sent to the original sender.
Thanks!
I don't own the G2 yet, but a great text app alternative on the Play Store is called 'Textra', and it looks just like stock Android, very system light, and super fast. It allows group messaging, and works perfectly, I always text my two brothers, one is on an iPhone, the other a Nexus, and we can keep a conversation going in one thread.

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely check out Textra, if I can't get the stock app figured out.

I find 'Textra' the best MMS App on the Play Store. It's very light, basic and simple. Super fast, smooth as butter, and looks and acts like stock Android messaging App.

Looks like you have a Nexus 4, may I ask why you choose to use Textra over the stock App?

Just installed Textra and tested it. Sent a group text same from iphone to my g2 and another iphone. I received the group text in normal fashion w/ both people, however my reply was sent as a new message to the original sender and not in the original group text thread. Any idea how to fix that?
Edit - NVM, I found the MMS settings in the app, had to enable MMS for group texts and it seems to work now.
