Is there any way to have group SMS? I miss it from. My n4 and sgs 3. I've tried a couple 3rd party apps but nothing is consistent. I've tried texty, chompsms, handcent, gosms pro, and a couple others. Even the port of the cm10.2 messenger from the play store. Any ideas? Otherwise I love the phone

I use GO SMS. You just have to enable Group SMS under the settings. (Settings -> Send&Receive Settings -> Enable the "MMS Group Chat" option

Hi,
I have searched high and low and am yet to find a definitive answer about how to get it to work.
People saw that you can use Handcent & also GO SMS to do group messaging but I am yet to be able to get it to work, is there a step by step guide by someone who is actually able to get the Grouped SMS to work. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and an iPhone 4S and I have stopped using the S3 until I can get it to work as it does on the iPhone.
I apologise if my searching was not exhaustive!
Thanks
Matt
Threaded SMS is already enabled by default.
You want group messaging.
Go into GoSMS settings and make sure you have Group Messaging options turned on. There are options in the Advanced menu under the Send and Receive settings.

I am at work and the phone is at home but I am pretty sure it was already turned on. Are you able to send Group Messages on yours? Are there any other settings I need to have turned on or off?
I've searched and searched for a solution but to no avail. I have uninstalled hangouts updates and reinstalled. I put messaging classic on my N10.
There is no options anywhere to choose a default sms app. when I try to tap 'Message Classic is not your sms app' nothing happens.
It's like there is no sms capability at all other than sending a msg to another hangouts member.
If I go to settings>more there is no sms option.
I can use google voice app but that's it.
So has anyone with 4.4.4 been able to choose a default sms app and if so, how?
Thanks
I just bought a Galaxy S6 Edge+ on AT&T 32 gb, and I'd like to use Google Voice. I can set the default sms sending app to Google Voice after clearing the SMS default from the Messaging app, but after a few hours, it seems to reset. Is there any way to lock the default settings so they cannot be changed automatically? That it has to ask if I want it to change and I can refuse a change permanently if I decide I want to?

If it helps, I think I figured out what the problem is. There's a secondary default for the SMS app, for whatever reason it's under Connections > More Connection Settings. Is there a way to manually add an app to this setting's list? Or disable this setting entirely? Either this, or can I get an SMS app that won't automatically or repeatedly take defaults and permissions that I don't want it to? Basically, the endgame here is an SMS app that can receive my carrier's messages, but won't take the SMS default send permissions away from the Google Voice app. And I do not want to use Hangouts.
All my MMS group messages become individual SMS so if I begin a group message, it gets sent to everyone individually instead of one group message. It's fairly annoying and I tried 2 different Roms with stock kernal and the same thing happened. Is there some solution or something I'm missing?
Look arround your provider APN settings, i think your APN is generic and some settings are miss
All the settings look appropriate for t-mobile it appear
The defualt OP texting app doesnt have mms functionality. Just install a 3rd party app to send mms like textra or android messages.
Switch to Textra App. Download it. And make sure to go to Textra Settings ->Group Messaging -> Chat. Works perfectly.
my wife's phone (plain S7) does this to. for example, this past week a friend had a group text with 10 people planning a social event. both my wife and i receive most everyone's replies separately, instead of ALL in the same group text. sometimes 2 people will be in the same reply.
any ideas how we can fix this??
thanks in advance for any help
Go to Messages and hit the 3 dots at top. go to Settings -> More Settings -> Multimedia Messages -> and turn on Group Conversations.
Depending on what messaging app you use, there should be a setting for group texts, usually under the MMS menu or Advanced settings menu.
