Handscent Android group chat like iPhone

Well here it is my fellow androids. We asked for it and Handcent fell through. We should all thank Handcent and their developers for this new big update. Keep in mind this app is still in Beta stage. However, I tested it for a couple of days and I was able to chat with my fellow iPhone lovers. I was also able to chat with verizon Galaxy Nexus, Thunderbolt and LG revolution. I havent had a chance to chat with none Verizon phones. You guys will be our testers. Please list all bugs here and Ill forward the list to the developer. So far there are two bugs with this build. The first bug is double notifications on group mms and the second one is blurry background images with Droid Razor phones
Setup:
1. You must make this app default messaging app for all MMS and SMS.
"settings"->application settings->Default Messaging Application-> All(SMS&MMS)
2. You must enable Thread Group Conversation. Its all the way down in application settings
"settings"->application settings->group messaging->check Thread Group conversation
3. MMS retrieval should be set to Auto unless you want to download each group message.
4. You might experience some lag as the group mms pour in one after another. I think this is normal cuz I do experience it on my Razor maxx using the stock app since it has this this feature built in. In addition, I asked my freind with iPhone 4s if he experiences lag when all these group messages pour in and he said yes. Sometimes he cant touch his phone until all the messages have been received
5. Be gentle on me if I missed any bugs. Im already in the Dog house in my wifes book for spending too much time on this project. This is the reason why the developer is releasing the app for public feedback.
File got updated:
Fixed double notification
fixed some bugs
This file not in market, so you guys are Handcent beta testers.

Loving the capability! It seems to be working well.
Have one question/bug. Some replies say "Me:" and they go to the group. Some replies say "Me to name: and they are going individually to the group it appears.
I did not do anything different I don't think on any of the replies but I may be missing something or this could be a bug.
Thanks for the great feature!

What phone are you using? Can you send a screen shot. In other words when you reply to message, you are replying to yourself also? I had that at first was fixed. I wonder if each phone will have that bug

so testing it with cm9 on HTC evo 3D (sprint) doesn't seem to want to send group messages at all. Just get that continuous loading symbol and never sends. I'll test it on stock first and see if it is the problem with the rom and report back

I'm also experiencing this, Droid Charge on Gingerbread.

so i tested this out and it seems to work somewhat on stock rom, has trouble with cm9 it seems. big problem is i have to always manually download the mms to make it show up on the thread.

The file has been update. Hopefully fix your issue.

So far I have had it "break" and resort to sending separate messages once. I have three theories as to why...
It may have been due to not completely removing my old Handcent beta first.
I was Texting with friends pretty frequently, and I noticed if I exit the thread and re-enter it would "convert to MMS", Maybe it drops out of MMS if you send several texts in a row?
The thread I was sending to had my google voice number in it, so I was essentially sending messages to myself at the same time.
Sometimes if you have a group message with say Joe Smith as a participant and a separate thread with Joe, getting the group text will show a notification for the separate thread and you have to do "mark as read" to fix it.
I am on a HTC Thunderbolt BTW.
Did not try the updated file yet, downloading now.

An issue happens when you send texts too quickly it sends you back to inbox and doesn't display the messages. From what my friends tell me it displays something weird in their group chat. I have to visually see it to confirm. Love that it actually works though

How is it supposed to work? I tried it with my friend who has an iPhone but it didn't send messages via Internet service but normaly as SMS messages. Friend with iPhone tried to pull his sim card out of phone with no succes. Does it need any special settings to make it work?
Anyway I don't care much cause I have all my SMS free I just wanted to try that function.
I use HC Talk service to chat with my girlfriend everyday so there's no problem about functionless HC Service

In the first post is suggests going to settings>application settings>default messaging application>set it to all sms and mms.
Then settings again>application settings>scroll all the way down>check the thread group conversation box.
Then should work

this is complete bull...I am beyond pissed...why does group text not work???????????? what app are you using? how does group text work on a stock N4 but not a tricked out G2...can;t wait to root this and de-bloat all the garbage

I'm using textra. Seems to work fine

I'm sure it still works on ATT... Verizon doesn't have the option either, but it still works.

negative. when I try to send a group text it just sends to everyone individually

On the verizon G2 under the stock messaging app it gives u options to send to everyone as a mms or as individual txt messages.

im on at&t and this was my issue before on the Gpro.. now i have the G2, its still the same..
on the stock messaging app i can send group text.. the problem lies when those people reply.
instead of putting their replies on the group text thread, the stock messaging app creates individual threads of each persons' replies..
it sucks but oh well.. guess i have to deal with it or download a different messaging app...

You need to enable it in settings. you also need to remeber that those you are sending to need to either have their phone support it or have it enabled as well. or use and 3rd party app like Go sms, or handcent.
i am using the stock app for now, i have it enabled and it sends groups just fine if they meet above settings...
i sent group to my wife and daughters iphone, works just like it should send and receive as group, but it didnt work to my other kids older androids, until we loaded go sms and enabled group text...

THats the thing. I don't even have that option in my settings

Verified: the ATT version does not have a setting like Verizon...completely bogus. Anyway---just downloaded textra and it seems to be working awesome. It's a new, very lean text app and has the group text option in settings. Tested it twice with and works flawlessly. Doesn't seem to be hitting my battery at all either.

I already went thru the settings and there is nothing there. Only LG has this coz i also had the GPro before and its the same. Send group text and recieve individual replies as new thread.
I had alot of android phones samsung, htc, motorola and i didnt have to download a third party app for receiving group text.

iPhone MMS not appearing on Messages but they show fine on Google Hangouts... WTH?!?

This one has me scratching my head looking for answers. I noticed this problem a while ago where my friends MMS sent from iPhones were not appearing on my Messages, I have the option for "fetch MMS automatically" and all I get is the little cloud but its blank, it only shows the time it was received, I've also tried disabling the fetch MMS automatically and even when downloading them it shows me the blank cloud. The doozy comes when I tried using Hangouts just to see what it was and to my surprise I could see all my SMS and MMS conversations from my contacts and all the pictures from the iPhone contacts were shown via Hangouts but they do not show on the stock Messages app.
Things I've tried:
1) Googling for answers only resulted in fanboyism comments and speculations that led to more fanboyism.
2) At first I tried contacting my carrier and they made me reset the APN settings to default, which I did and it was after that that I realized that it was only the iPhone MMS messages that weren't being received.
3) Tried disabling the Hangouts services via the Apps option on the settings menu. Restarted phone and still wouldn't work.
4) Been restarting my phone with each setting I change to see if it helps but no.
5) Been bugging my friends to send me MMS from their iPhones and one did get through but nothing more after that.
6) Made sure their iPhones had the setting of "Send MMS when iChat isn't available" enabled.
7) Made sure my old iPhone account was signed out of my old iPhone 4 so I wasn't receiving anymore iMessages.
I'm speculating that I either need to call my carrier again which is Claro PR and explain the situation to see if it helps, or maybe go to a store. Also, I've been thinking about Rooting my phone so I can uninstall some of the bloat, which included Hangouts but don't want to go down that path yet and I don't know if it would really help anything since I already tried disabling the service via the Apps options.
Please help me figure this out, I love this phone but this thing is bugging the hell out of me.

I have had problems with mms on hangouts and the stock app on Sprint doesn't support group mms. I have been using Go sms pro and everything works fine, including iPhone mms messages.
Hope that helps.

Hmm... interesting a replacement messaging app, I would definitely keep this in mind so thanks a lot for the suggestion. I rather use the stock apps while I'm getting used to the phone since this is my first Android device but will definitely use this if resetting to factory defaults doesn't help my problem.
*Edit*
Any other suggestions for my problem are welcomed.

LG didn't enable MMS group messaging on stock messages. My HTC One and S4 had the option in settings to enable it...LG left it out. If you haven't heard, TEXTRA is one of the best, fastest, light weight messaging apps that can handle iPhone group messages without the bloat on go sms and handcent. Look it up on the playstore...ratings are great and all my Android friends use it now. I've yet ran into any issues with group texting.

Hi and thanks for the reply, I've looked up Textra and seems like a nice alternative and has a very clean interface, I'm currently using Hangouts from Google without a problem but would have preferred the stock message app. It's weird because I went to my carrier and they did some test and everything was fine, turns out its only MMS sent from iPhones that won't show through the Message app from G2. Maybe I should try emailing them to see if I can get some answers?

Yea only the Verizon variant supports group messages. I posted a thread about this in the Themes and Apps forum. Could be the cause.
All my friends group text me all the time and send MMS using the Verizon version Messaging app and hangouts. The stock messaging app world best though.

Textra as default SMS app, Messaging app randomly receiving texts

Has anyone seen this behavior on the V20? I have Textra set as the default SMS app and randomly, I get a notification from the Messaging app that I have a new text or MMS. The odd thing is that those messages won't show up in Textra, only in Messaging.
So far it seems to be with 1 contact, my brother who is on T-Mobile using an S6. I deleted my convo in Messaging with him when this happened yesterday and deleted his convo with me on his phone and it was fine. Just now, I got an MMS from him and happened again. Seems odd...
Anyone else?

I tried that right after I posted, actually. Seeing if it happens again.

How can I get textra to show on second screen

Will Textra send via WiFi? I have not tried the app yet.
Thanks

I'm not seeing this behavior yet. However, Textra and the Messaging app aren't showing any of my contacts. I keep syncing them, and they show up in the Contacts app, but it's like the Textra/messaging app doesn't have access to them or something.
Edit: Reboot helped.

Same thing. Have you been able to fix it? I'm about to delete Textra, force stop stock app, then reinstall Textra to see if it will start working properly. I noticed that it happens to only one person in my contact list, extremely odd.

Just in case anyone else is having this issue I seemed to have found a fix. Go to settings then apps. Select the native messaging app. Revoke permissions, block notifications, switch "message app" to No, switch draw over other apps to No. Delete Textra, restart phone, reinstall Textra, & set Textra as default app (simply go into Textra & begin to use it, it will ask if you want to make it the default). This should hopefully fix any issues anyone might be having.

:good: WELCOME TO XDA DEVELOPERS ! :good:
EDIT: @Kief_haring
After following the steps you listed,the stock messaging app settings (permissions/notifications) reverted back to enabled.
The message app & draw-over other apps settings remained off (no).
There's some MMS settings within the Textra app that are T-Mobile specific,may need to have some trial & error to get things just right,YMMV.

You have to make sure you don't open the native app after setting everything to off. Maybe just set them all to off, delete Textra then reinstall. Don't restart phone as that may be what is enabling the native messaging app settings. I have T-Mobile as well. I enable the T-Mobile MMS over wifi option to on within Textra. Let me know if this works out, if not I'll try to troubleshoot the issue a bit more.
Also thanks for the warm welcome! I've been lurking on this site for over 10 years, just never made an account. Figured it was about time to give some input & ask questions for myself as well. Love this community & want to give back as much as I have taken from it.

T Mobile wifi fix. Apologies for not being more clear about that. When you set that you can actually see wifi shut off & 4G take over when sending an MMS. Never have trouble sending a picture after setting that up.

Also with MMS Behavior, Legacy seems to be working well on the V20. Haven't had to even think about switching to System MMS.

I'll have to try and leave it off... With the N6P it always had to be on.

None of the above worked for me. The one or two peoples messages that were going into the stock app just stopped coming in completely.
Any other ideas?

My sent SMS messages arrive on a receiving Android with URGENT in the title (Verizon)

It seems like I'm sending SMS as URGENT. The receiving Android user sees an URGENT header on their notification screen, but everything looks normal in their messaging app. I have tried the default Messaging app along with the Google one (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.apps.messaging), but there is no difference. I can't find a setting anywhere to choose to purposely send an URGENT-tagged message.
Could this have something to do with the CDMA-less activation?
Sometimes it's hard to screenshot other people's phones, so I'll have to do a little more research...

Interesting... I'll give it a shot. Any key words you found that sped that process along?
