I just switched from a Verizon note 3 to a sprint note 3 and noticed there is not group messaging option that will send separate message to others. usually there would be a check mark that says group conversation and you can uncheck that to send the same txt message to multiple people without them seeing it. I figured I would tri the S5 Moar port but I cannot get Wifi calling to work on it and its a necessity but it has the type of messaging app I need can someone please help me. I am currently on Vision X rom
Can anyone help

go to messages-setting-sms/mms untick group messaging. done
here is a screenshot I am talking about
Here is a screen shot of what I am talking about. Do you see how there is a check box that says group conversation. This check box was available on the Verizon version of the Note 3 I had but not on the Sprint version. I tried to use the apk from the galaxy S5 but then I had a lot of errors with MMS in general and not being able to send pictures also no one can send or receive over wifi at all. If someone could please help.

hey. my friend has a verizon 6700. when he receives a picture message it brings up a log in window and tells him he needs to sign into the verizon wireless data network. if he's connected thru wifi it will try to go to the picture but it fails. is there any way to fix this? i was thinking perhaps it was some sort of verizon MMS settings that needed to be added into the connections setting.

Yes it is verizons settings . Same issue with sprint . Some times they try and tell you that you must get the internet package to see pictures. You may have to go thru quiet a few represenatives to get someone to get it working correctly for you. I have seen this issue with both services .
So good luck. I haven't seen the manual setting anywhere if I come across them I will gladly post them for you.
also make sure he has a pic msg plan some of the old msg plans were only text msg

Another good point.
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

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.

Have not had the issue where the group message sends separate again, but this one is still happening...

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

Let me first start by saying that I know there are a ton of threads out there supporting issues with users who switch from and iPhone to an S4 and not being able to receive ANY group messages. this is NOT one of those cases.
I have an S4 on AT&T, rooted, stock rom. i use the included/stock SMS/MMS app for my messaging purposes. I know there are alternatives, but this is bugging the crap out of me, so here I go:
I have a group message going with 3 other people with details as follows: Contact 1 - t-mo Windows Phone 8x, Contact 2 - AT&T iPhone 4s, Contact 3 - Verizon S4. When i send a group message, EVERYONE receives it as a group message. when Contacts 1 and 2 respond to the group, i see it as grouped, as does everyone else. When Contact 3 responds, Contacts 1 and 2 see his response as grouped, however, I receive it as an individual message.
This behavior has been consistent on every rom i've tried (unfortunately being on MF3 i'm kinda limited to Tw based, but I digress). If i use textra, chomp, gosms, Contact 3's responses show as part of the group, not individual. what's weirder about this is if I head back to the stock app after Contact 3 responds and his response shows in the group; but when i use the stock app, the aforementioned behavior occurs.
I have literally (at least I think) tried everything beyond a "reflash" suggested by samsung support.
a couple of "requirements" that I've already checked:
1. group messaging - checked
2. mms - enabled
3. mobile data - enabled
i'm getting to my wits end with this. any assistance ANYONE can offer would be amazing!
thanks!

I have searched and searched as well.. My scenario is close to the same. Any group message my girlfriends is included on (verizon Note II) the exact same thing happens. Her message I receive as a individual separate message, and everyone else receives it in the group.
P.S. Im on an AT&T S4
anyone else?
Fixed the issue. Left the s4 got an HTC one. Couldn't be happier.

That's a sure bummer. Tons of people are switching devices because of things similar to this and of course MF3 locking things up. Referring to your message (although you switched), on my S4, I have that problems sometimes. I also sometimes receive the group message in our individual convo allowing me to download it. After downloading it, it appears in the group chat. Odd behavior.
Glad you found a fix.
I usually have use MMS for group chats on textra and it works fine for me but you have to be on 4g for it to push and send.

Thanks for this: didn’t know about this so far. It was an issue for me as well, but didn’t know sms notification could show like this, gmail and other does same.
Just found this post and set this and it works awesome. Thanks a lot. Very helpful feature.
Preview used to be the default method of displaying notifications, but they changed it since 4.3 and added a setting for it. PRivacy thing, I believe.
I guess some people apparently didn't want the messages from their secret love affairs showing up as readable on their phone when leaving it on the dinnertable.

Yes that is true as well. There is always negative and positive sides.
I'm sure you guys know about the group text. I recently moved to the galaxy s7 from an iphone 6. I noticed that group texting doesnt really work. I can send group text messages to my friends with iphone but i will only be able to see one person's reply, and i dont get anything from anyone else. MMS is enabled and group chat is enabled. Does anyone know a work around, tip, or trick to get group texting?

I fixed it got all of my iphone friends to delete my text messages on their phones and i deleted them on my phone, then re-established a group message and it all worked. Btw you have to go to the apple website and de-register imessage for the apple account that you previously had.
