this is wierd....Im having this issue and hopefully someone can help me out. I can group mms with all my friends except 1. He has a verizon s3 and everytime he responds to a group mms it just goes into his seperate thread. My wife has an iphone and when he responds it goes into the group mms thread like it should. Its really confusing the hell out of me since hes the only person it happens to and i feel like its just with my phone. I looked at his phone and he is responding in the group thread like he should be but it send a seperate text to me instead of going into the group mms thread.
Anyone got any ideas?

His S3 is not on 4.2 or higher I'm guessing so his phone can't do group SMS (which uses MMS to communicate).
Blame Verizon, they are always freaking late on everything! The last update was 4.1.2 which came out in May but was released long ago. The other Samsung S3s all got 4.2 already (I think) but Verizon is slacking.

Sorry to bump this post but I'm having the same exact issue..
My friend has a VZW S3 and his replies do not come under group chat.
Glad to see I'm not the only one. I've come to find out..if I use a third party app like handcent it works like it should. So its something with the stock app which sucks cuz I hate the third party apps

I am having an issue where a really long text is not being sent out to any nonVerizon customer. Verizon buddies receive the text in multiple parts as normal.
I am trying to determine if this is DL30's issue or my ROM's issue.
Please test and let me know if it works or does not work for you and what you have on your phone.
Thanks!
I had the same problem. I use ChompSMS and it has a setting that will split your texts so they send.

I've been having the same problem as well, might be due to the lack of a proper DL30 radio.

Yep, that confirms it. Its just a busted Froyo release. Its obvious this build wasn't finished or intended for use.
Guess I'll just work around it until the legitimate release comes OTA. Then I'll get the superclean version of that.

So busted! I've had a total of zero FC's over my 72 hours with it. I can't stand all the annoying tendencies that this busted ROM seems to cause. I'm so pissed I spent that 15 minutes flashing it to my phone. It's practically bricked now!

I haven't. Until I updated to a DL30 based software it worked perfectly.... gps still was hosed, but everything else was fine.
Now I still have a busted GPS, unable to send large texts to a 1/2 my buddies, however, phone is running faster with better look/feel.
Same problem...large text are being recieved by friends as garbage....unreadable...on all dl30 roms using dl09 radio....

Yes, normal sized SMS messages go through fine.
Just tested this and I also have the same issue if the text is quite longer... more than 160 characters...but I'm not sure exactly where.
Wonder how many gibberish texts Ive sent out
Edit: by more than 160 characters I meant the limit for me is higher than 160 possibly double that IDK where exactly....not that it happens at 160 and above...
SmokeyDP said:

Yes.
Texts less than 160 work fine to anyone. Texts >160 work fine to Verizon customers. MMS texts work fine to anyone.
Just texts >160 fail to nonVerizon.
I'm sure when the OTA for Verizon comes it will fix this as it will be finalized with its own radio. Just have to wait for it to arrive and for it to be super cleaned.
EDIt: I'm saying "160" because I think that is the cutoff for normal SMS.
For now I will just run the separate app for keep texts shorter now that I know.
Every text after i send a long to that person is garbage.....even after reboot ....i have to reload rom to fix.

It seems as though I cannot receive MMS or group messages from any users on IOS 6
I'm currently on Cyanogenmod-7.2.0-supersonic Build date Fri Jun 15 21:07:52 PDT 2012
I am still able to get other MMS from people without IOS 6 including IOS 5 and any other andriods
Any idea?
It's apple trolling. They probably want that ios6 person to buy a ios6 to android adapter lol

Sent from my PC36100 using xda app-developers app
Its probably something in iOS6, apparently there's a few problems with the new iPhone some people I know are not very happy they waited in line for several days to get it. Scratched out of the box, scratched even worse after 2days of use, mostly from rings hitting the case. Apples maps couldn't find its way out of a wet lunch sack. Among other things that are either the exact same as the 4s or aren't at all what apple hyped em up to be. I would guess there's a problem with the SMS conversion on the iOS end which is leaving the messages in limbo

So Blackberry Messenger is now live. But I've its forced close like a dozen times in the last hour. Just me?
Btw add me 75e83757
It's live, but the waiting list makes it useless until you get in
A waiting list for a messenger is one of the most ridiculous things that I've heard this year. They obviously do not have the infrastructure in place to provide a cross platform service properly.
The little interest that I did have in Blackberry's last throw of the dice evaporated with that move. The only way I will install BBM now is if literally my entire contact list moves over to it and uses nothing else (not likely).

It's live for me. But I used the leaked apk for a while before BB disabled it. So my email address was active from day one. Plus I used to have a BlackBerry back a couple years ago on the same email account. So I got instant access when it hit the play store.

I can't help feel BlackBerry have shot themselves in the foot here. BBM for BlackBerry has remained, as it always was, a paid service. Yet the BBM on other platforms is free. Makes no sense. Surely it's freeing up everyone who wanted a BB for BBM to just move to say Android for the greater choice of handsets, better specs etc... and free BBM. Not a great business move at all. Idiots. That's all I can say. Even putting ads in BBM could have helped saved their asses. Imagine the audience BBM will get, 1 million downloads of the LEAKED app alone. They are kissing goodbye to some great opportunities here. But hell, I'm android now. Screw BlackBerry and their weird market strategy.

Because there is a waiting list, presumably because they haven't got enough servers to handle demand. Probably the same reason they halted the rollout last month, despite blaming people with the leaked apk.
Also, you really should remove your email address from that screenshot.

Actually seeing as with BB10 the devices no longer require a blackberry data plan(shocking to me really) then it is free for all newer devices which is probably why they probably decided to open it up to other platforms.
As for the app itself, no force closes on my device, was unable to add contacts the 1st night I got to register but then by the next morning it was all working smoothly.
A few years to late. Funny how Bb tries to stay relevant.

I have a group with several colleagues including a few that still uses a blackberry device. But those with BB device has incorrect time stamp when chatting in group. But the bb device users see my chat's time stamp is still correct. Has anyone else here have the same problem?

BBM has something of a cult style following. I personally hate WhatsApp. It's user interface is ugly and it doesn't always notify me or my other half that we actually have sent each other messages. Plus bbm you don't have to have the contact in your phone book. Which is always a good thing.

I've used Whatsapp every day for 3 years (as does the entire country) and it always notifies. Probably user error.
Actually not needing an account (as it uses your contacts) is one of the greet things about Whatsapp, because you don't need an account that you need to sign in to or add eachother. It's just like SMS but free plus group conversations, free image/video send etc.

Hardly user error considering I've used it since it hit Android and know my way round the very simple app very well. Probably more a phone error. I'm on an XZ with various mods, my other half's on an iPhone 4, which doesn't accept Whatsapp properly anyway. Worked perfectly on my HTC.
You like Whatsapp. I hate it. Each to their own.

With the increasingly large number of BBM threads being created throughout XDA on a regular basis, the Moderation Team assigned to this group of forums has decided that it's simply not feasible to allow it to continue any further. Since BBM groups are more of a social group rather than a discussion about a particular device, they are not appropriate for a device specific forum such as this one, and in the interest of keeping the forums clean we have decided to close all BBM threads in our assigned device specific forums.
Having said that, there are options still available to users that require the use of BBM groups as a medium for communication:
1) You may post your PINs, group info, etc., in the BBM for Android located in XDA General.
2) You can send your info through a private message to the OPs of existing BBM group threads.
3) You can include your PIN, QR code, or group info in your signature.
Since BBM groups are a relatively new topic on XDA, it is still possible that certain accomodations could be made sometime in the future depending on the overall need. Until then, the decision to close all BBM threads in our area will remain in effect so we appreciate your understanding and cooperation on the matter.
Thank you

Right... it is weird, it is very laggy on my wife's S5, was laggy on my S5. It is laggy on a G3 I have laying around and also on my Galaxy Tab S. I have a original Moto X and on the Moto X it isn't laggy... I'll keep an eye on the development of this issue, I have 2 year warranty anyway (and never keep a phone for that long) if it turns out to be a defective device I'll replace it.

Thanks for this! I've been giving out my Google Voice number for years and the whole MMS thing has been the one thing I hated about it.
I just tested with a friend who sent me a pic and it got shifted over to email. Not ideal, but since I get email on the phone too it's a lot better than it just disappearing into cyberspace.
I haven't integrated Hangouts with Voice yet so maybe that's why it got turned into an email. I've been hesitant to integrate the two. Does anyone know how to separate them again if I try it and don't like it?

I don't know how to separate them, never tried really but the reason you got the picture on an email is because the Google voice app doesn't support pictures, even back in the day when T-Mobile and Sprint were the only two supported for MMS I think it was received as an email.
Make the jump to hangouts and it will all work fine. By the way, when you switch it to hangouts, you'll have to forward your calls again to your Verizon phone # OR you can use the hangouts app to make and receive phone calls. The calls handled by hangouts are over WiFi or data, like VOIP

According to this http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/10/google-voice-mms-messaging-support-for-verizon-now-official/ , group messaging is being worked on and will "be enabled in a coming update".
Since buying the T-Mobile OnePlus 6T, I've noticed that for CERTAIN people, when I text them in Android Messages, their response comes back in a newly created text thread, INDEPENDENT of the original thread I texted them from. Does anyone know why this is happening, or how to resolve it?
It's possible this issue has nothing to do with Android Messages. So if you're having it and don't use that app, please let me know!!
Thank You!

No it comes back with the exact SAME name vs. a phone #.
By chance, under your dialer settings, is your country code set to +1 (USA)? Ive seen a few issues like this that were cause by country code errors after roaming internationally.
The other possibility is that the recipient has mms replies turned off in lieu of mass sms, which would cause it to come back as a separate thread.

Yes my country code is set to +1 (just checked it again now). So it's not that.
The thing is, it's happened with both a single SMS thread and also a 3-party MMS thread. So I don't think it's this either. But these are very good suggestions nonetheless!
