S4 Group Messaging on Canadian Versions - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

I have a BELL Samsung Galaxy S4 and it does not have the group messaging setting in the stock messaging app.
My brother has a FIDO Samsung Galaxy S4 and he has the group messaging setting in the stock messaging app. Group messaging works just fine on his phone when he turns on this setting.
What gives? How can I get this setting and enable group messaging in the stock app on my BELL S4?
Thanks

I'm on Bell and have this setting. Just out of curiousity, you are on the latest update, correct?

I guess so because it's saying no updates are available for my phone. How can I tell if I'm on the latest update? I still don't show that setting. Thanks

[Q] Group Messaging iphone users

i had the gs4 on release and i was messaging iphone users in group chat all the time then i switched back to the iphone 5 in june and now just recently about 3 days ago i switched back to the gs4 and i can't get any replies from people in the group chat. any advice im running shostock rom if that helps.
i checked online and i have removed the device and changed the password and even turned i message off on the original phone. what now
So nothing changed at all on the S4? You were using shostock initially as well? Do you have group messaging turned on in your sms/mms settings? (not sure if this feature is in shostock)

Did you check your messaging settings to see if there's a group messaging option?

I use the stock ROM on my AT&T S4 on MF3 and with "Group Messaging" enabled from Message > Settings - I usually have no problems. Sometimes longer messages come in from an iPhone user and I have to first hit "Download" and then it appears in the group message.
Try handcent, it always works for me. Also, stock messaging app has a group chat box, make sure its ticked. and data has to be on in order to group message. They send as MMS.

Check you APN list in settings > more. See which one you a re currently using and try a different one to see if it helps. You can also write down the settings of the APN that you are using currently and delete the APN, then manually re-add it. Sometimes that fixes the issue as well.

Verizon Galaxy S5 MMS

I'm having an issue on my Galaxy S5. If I use the stock messaging app MMS works fine sending and receiving. However if I use ANY other app including Textra and EvolveSMS, MMS always fails. I've tried tinkering with each apps settings but still no go. I would really prefer to use Textra but MMS is a deal breaker. The devs can't help but the fact that it is every app and only stock messaging sounds strange. What do you think?

[Q] Silence Individual Group message

Does anyone know how to silence individual group messages on the galaxy s5 (Verizon) like people with the new Iphone 6 can do? I had an S4 with a custom ROM which allowed you to do this, but I can't find anything on how to do this on the S5.
On the custom S4 ROM I was able to select 1 group message, and turn off the notifications on it, but still receive notifications for all other group and individual messages.
Please help,
Thanks,
Sean
I know I use the messages+ app by Verizon and I can long press the msg and mute the conversation hope that helps

The specific question as stated in the OP. I want to be able to silence individual group messages, not all group messages. I would like to do it using the samsung messaging app, not the verizon messaging app because I prefer the samsung app over the verizon app.
Well first off, I wanted to be clear. Secondly, you cannot. You can turn off notification for all group messages, not one. I do not really use Messaging+, but I can try it and let you know. I would suggest maybe looking for that GS4 custom rom and see if they updated it for the GS5. Sorry mate. Wish I could of found the right solution for you.

AT&T Message App with AT&T Message Sync/Backup

I have flashed the U firmware on my AT&T Edge and love it but I do miss the AT&T Message Sync feature. In all my previous Galaxy phones we had to use the ugly ATT messaging app to get the sync feature but this apparently worked with the stock Samsung messaging app (unless ATT built their own version of the Samsung app). Long story short (too late): Anyone have a way I can add that one feature back to my phone while on U firmware? Thank you in advance!
