Just upgraded to the S5 from the S3. I used Handscent for a long time over the default messaging app. With Handscent I was able to use group messaging (mms) with users on android and iphones. With the S5, the default app will send a message out, but to each user individually.
Using Handscent, a text will be send to the group fine, but any replies will start new threads on my phone. Also, it will for some reason add my own number to the group text, so I am basically sending a text to myself.
In the end, I have multiple threads, 1 for replies, 1 for my sent message and 1 with my own phone number being added to the group.
In the default app, there doesn't seem to be any MMS options. Did Samsung really not think about this?
I am using stock messages and I have group chat but the people in my group all have the s5; we tried adding another friend who has the htc m7, idk if he opted out of it but he kept coming up as separate text for me even though he was receiving all of our text.

He probably has group chat disabled. On the HTC m7 group chat is disabled by default. I always forget to enable it when I flash a new Rom lol.

The application I'm using also works the same as yours. Maybe, it's just the way the application works or maybe it's not that compatible with Samsung. Coz even on my old S3, the SMS application works the same, so I think, that just how it works. But the stock SMS of Samsung, the group chat works fine and it will not create single thread when one on the group chat replied.

I would rather think that you write your TXT message within messmo and it verifies if the recipient is a messmo user.
- If yes, then the TXT is sent as is free of charge
- If not the TXT will be sent via your own provider's SMS service and charged as usual
Sascha
correct ! ! you can exchange free sms between any messmo users in any coutry.
messmo uses gprs to send messages, so if the other person also has messmo, then they can exchange sms for free irrespective of their country.
so grab the software . . . make your messmo friend cirlce and start sending sms for free with an attachment ! !
isn't it coooool?
Nice software, well but where can i find freinds to use this software.

There is no restrictions on country area. You can send sms globally.Recently Messmo has launched new version with 2 new features- Voice message and Real MMS. Now you can send a voice message to your friends, no need to spend money on making calls. Really Messmo is the best for instant messaging in the world.

u see my sms display like this
when i send ppl my sms show as time...
but my friend one show date
i think this is y it went crezy for sorting
that's because it's now 13th and your sms are shown to be from 14th !! that's why they are below other messages.
Dunno why it's assuming they're sent on 14th though :-?
edit: maybe the person you're messaging has a wrong date on his/her device ?
edit 2: scratch that !! I didn't notice it's now 14th in singapore
No, the problem is, SIM Contacts' SMS'es ALWAYS goes to the bottom. Try hiding your sim contacts from the settings and you'd be fine
*Happened to me and I did that and worked
all send on the same day...
all send on the same day...
cannot be le.. when i send sms to myself also had this issue
when i send out sms it was display as timing... but receive only show date.

if i am not wrong, maybe it is because it is a different day already? i dont have this problem and i assume you got your device from starhub (so did i yesterday)
no it not diff day sms, it same day within min.
as i m testing e sms i notice my sms is not sort as time and date
there is a bit funny is
when i send out sms , i notice my sms which i send out my phone is display as time (12.00pm)
but when i receive ppl sms, my phone display display as date (14/12/2009)
I'm not 100% certain, but APNdroid widget pretty much saves me on this stupid and quite odd issue.
Every time I initiate a data connection my phone won't receive SMS's and when I disable data (using APNdroid) all my messages come in that I've "missed" during my data session.
What's the go with that?
Maybe someone re-produce. I tried it twice and I found the issue.
It is kind of weird the behaviour of the sms retrieval when I'm using a data connection. I'm quite certain that its still happening but I've had success at times too so it makes it unpredictable.
I see that no one has a similar problem so I may have a dud haha

Odd. Sms don't use data access unless you use mms.
Maybe you are getting mms mixed up with sms? Also sounds like a network problem and not your phone
Sent from my Apple Newton 2100
Have asked the support from your carrier? I guess this is a problem with your provider. Maybe you can try a different device with Data connection to test it?
What i have noticed is that sometimes i cant recieve nor sms neither calls and I have full of signal.
I dont know if it has to do with my 3g internet connection wich is always on or with my provider.

Have you got SMS send enabled on your simcard/telco ? SMS recived is usually enabled but sometimes sms/caller id and mms is disabled at telco end.
SMS issues disappeared.
I haven't mixed mms and sms up but for that day I reproduced this issue a few times but I'm happy to say that its not happening anymore.

Hello all! I'm having a problem I hope someone can help me with. I recently updated my Note 3 with the leaked KitKat build and while everything seems to be working fine, I have lost the ability to receive MMS picture messages. I can send them to anyone just fine, but have not been able to receive one since. My fiance has sent me several and I don't get the picture or any kind of notification of a new message. I've tried both the stock messaging app, and Handcent, no difference with either. Anyone out there have any suggestions? Thanks!
Try the Verizon messaging app from the play store. You can even access your messages from the Web and has a built in cloud backup.

I had the same problem of sorts. Not sure if you could but I was able to get the picture message just not download it. I found that if I turned WiFi off and just went off cellular network it would download then though, but not when connected to wifi. Hope that helps.
I had the problem of sending mms with WiFi on with my Note 2, but no problems with mms at all on the Note 3 until the KitKat update. Is there a setting someplace that I am missing? It's weird that everything worked before the update.
Hopeful Solution?
Alright, here's my story, after switching from Sense to CM11 when I first got my HTC One a few months ago things were working alright, then at some point I lost the ability to send or receive mms messages. I looked online and found that there were a few people with the same problem, most said the problem had to do with the apn settings, the solution to was either modified apn settings or using an alternate messaging program, such as 8sms.
Anyways, I tried several different apn setups to try and get my mms back, my LTE internet worked, but no mms. Eventually I found a setup that allowed me to send a mms to someone, but not receive one. I figured that was a good as I was going to get it.
After a few OTA nightly updates I decided to tinker with the apn settings again; my hope being that one of the new nightlies would have fixed the problem if I restored my apn settings to default. This didn't help and cost me the ability to even send mms. Needless to say I scoured the web to find usable apn settings again (I prefer to use the stock messaging app), eventually I ended up Frankensteining several together and found a solution that allowed for me to send and receive mms, as well as my LTE internet!
[TL/DR]
Found APN settings that enable sending and receiving mms, as well as LTE internet (with a lte subscription, it's not a hack or anything).

I know some people have connection problems including wifi, idk anything about that. This is just the set up I found that got mms sending and recieving working again.
EDIT
Get to 'APN Settings' by opening 'Voice Dialer' and saying clearly "Open APN", this will prompt you to open APN Settings, from there you can edit things.

Fore me it works fine, i can send mms with wifi + data on. Did you fallow the instructions when you did the KK update...my suggestion is try to send the mms just using data but turn your wifi off, also make sure the receiver has the cellular data on if you are sending it to phone.
Hope it helps
Unfortunately the MMS function of Android Messages is broken on the GS8 when Wifi is turned on. Unlike my Nexus 6, which is what I'm coming from, the GS8 completely dsables LTE/data when Wifi is on. And since Android Messages doesn't support Wifi, you cannot send/receive MMS messages. When viewing the latest reviews on the Play Store for Android Messages, I'm not the only one with this problem. I spent a good portion of my day yesterday trying to figure out how to keep data on when Wifi is on but no luck. And apparently this has been broken for a while because I remember going on a MTB trip to the actual mountains where there was no cell/data reception, and had to use Hangouts (ugh) to talk to the family since Android Messages won't talk over Wifi.
Not sure if there's a workaround, as I'm using Samsung Messages for now until Google (hopefully) fixes this.
I'm having the same problem, was just about to post about it and saw your topic. Hopefully they issue a fix for this, don't particularly care for Samsung's Messages app.
Thought LTE with WiFi on is a carrier setting? My T-Mobile phone doesn't have any issues and uses WiFi calling just fine also.

My fiance's phone is having same issues with Google messaging app. Samsung app works just fine. She is using that for now.
We have reset phone. Activated new SIM card also.
I will not have her use Verizon message+ ever so I won't know if it's working.
Had the same issue. Turning wifi calling on and off did not make a difference.
I switched to using textra which works fine
Can confirm I have this issue with the google messages app; haven't tried with the samsung one.
Working fine on my S8+, Installed Google SMS app and its working fine on wifi.
Same issue using Android Messages
Does this mean that even if I disable wifi calling (Tmo variant s8), I won't be able to receive or make calls because data is disabled??
The Samsumg app works fine. It's Android Messages. Google needs to fix. I even turned on Developer Option and turned on the option to keep Data on while Wifi was on. Didn't make a difference. I reported it to Google, for whatever good that's going to do.
Same issues here. Verizon support told me it's because I'm using an app that doesn't support integrated messaging, but I know Messages worked on my S7 edge.
A new update hit APKMirror yesterday, but still having issues.
I had this issue using chomp sms. Found a post saying to change a setting in the app to have MMS behavior set to "system" instead of "legacy". It somehow fixes sms as well

Doing a bit more research, I don't think this is an Android Messages issue, but more of a Samsung issue. I know that previous versions worked on my S7 edge, so I went back into the APKMirror archive and pulled out the release from December 2016. Still cannot send.
Samsung changed something with this phone release that is blocking Android Messages from working with MMS.

I agree, seems they changed other things that break things as well, such as this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s8/help/chrome-push-notifications-reliable-s8-t3595599
Hopefully we get some fixes...
Something else to try, i enabled Advanced Calling and i seem to be able to send/receive on wifi with using Android Messages. It is working for me at the moment but not sure if that is what actually did it.
Also not sure if "Advanced" calling has gotten better, lots of reports of poor audio.
I believe it has to do with VoLTE, which you cannot edit on the s8 like you could on the s7. I can send MMS while on a call when on a 'HD' call, but can not when I'm am not on an HD call.
I am having a similar issue with Textra as well when sending MMS
I switched over to Pulse in the meantime and it's actually a pretty good app. It allows MMS/GIF/etc over WiFi on the S8; almost as good looking app but has more features.

Interesting. Textra and the stock Sammy Messages sends / receives MMS just fine on my VZW S8, but as noted above, Android Messages will not (and, I spent waaay too many hours trying to figure that out...).
