Hello everybody.
I'm new here and yes I registered my account mostly for this question but I've searched my ass off here and via google for the last two hours in order to get this on my phone.
I want to be able to add as many receipents as I like to the send message dialogue. Yes my phone is rooted (CF Autoroot method 2), and no I don't have a custom rom and would like to not have to install one. Yes I'm aware I might have to repeat this product with firmware updates.
I found a simlar guide for many other phones including Galaxy S3, S4, Note 3 and so one. Here is one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2055947 . Either this or some wort of APK-unlock file is my idea? Other solutions are also welcome.
Found this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mittelmanapps.smslimitunlock but it's just for the messaging limit not recipient limit.
Many thanks in advance.
Edit: Maybe the topis is a bit misleading since I dont want a group sms convesation, just the ability to send a text to as many recipients as I want to and override the 20 person limit.

Every time I send a group message that includes one of my friends, his messages always get sent back to me individually rather than as part of the group thread like all the others. Does anyone know why this may be? I'm fairly certain he's the only one that I have this problem with, though everyone else I've group messaged in recent memory was using an iPhone (though I'm pretty sure I had no problems with other androids in the past). He's also using a S4, but on Verizon. His messages still are listed as a MMS on my end (it's the only thing that tells me that he responded to the group rather than just me), and I believe the iPhone user in the threat is receiving his messages as a group just fine, but I'm still getting this issue. Additionally, I do not have this problem when my brother is in a group thread and he is using a S4 on Sprint. Is there some setting I can change to correct this, or is the problem on his end? If it is him, do you have any suggestions for what he may be able to change? We're both using the stock messaging app. It's really annoying because it often causes me to accidentally reply to just him rather than the whole group.
are you sure he isn't selecting to do a individual reply?

Just updated the post, sorry for not being specific earlier. I'm pretty sure because it comes in as a MMS and I think the guy in the chat with an iPhone receives them as a group just fine. Turns out my friend with an S3 also responds individually and not as an MMS, so I guess it's dependent on the sender, but since I know this guy has an S4 and I know that his phone supports this feature (because I know the S3 does not), I don't understand why this is happening.
So I have seen stuff all over the web about this topic, but have yet to find an answer. I am one of the many folks that has a problem with group messaging not working correctly. Here is what I have noticed so far.
If I use my stock messaging app to send a group message, it ALWAYS sends out as a group message.
When using Handcent, sometimes, yes just sometimes, when I send out a group message, it will send to each individual contact in that group message. Most times Handcent works properly though. Then every now and then, it sends all individual messages.
Anybody with an Iphone, or another Sprint Galaxy s4, I have no problems with. Theyre replies always come back as a group text
One friend, who has an android on Verizon, when he replies to the group, I not only get his message as if its just coming from him to me, it is also blank, and I cant read it.
Another friend, has an android, not sure what provider, but his messages can be read, but they also come back to me as individual messages.
Is there a different ROM that will solve this issue? I am using Stock 4.2.2, but it is rooted.
This is really annoying, so I wanted to see if anyone has figured this out yet.
me too
This is very annoying to me too. here's what happens to me.
My s4 is on Tmobile prepaid(has been for years since flexpay)
I use Google Voice for calls n text.
I use the native sms app to send/receive.
I use google voice to send/receive and to start my group messages.
Now my native app is starting to not send long messages, roughly 20 characters or more.
Same for my google voice app since the new yr.
I can send out group messages from my google voice app but the replies come back as individual.
All 1,500+ of my contacts use my google voice number to talk to me.
I dont know if this is related but I use Google voice build 0.2.2.80 and will not update yet.
I've attached my version rom. I've used Jovy xtremeperia rom for yrs and its been the best rom I've used thus far. I jus started having issues a month ago with group messaging. I have not done anything different and I never update apps or my rom unless comments say otherwise.
someone please help us if you know anything. I do not use my regular number so if this issue is google voice related please advise. Thanks in advance
I have read just about every thread on many many forums regarding this. And I have tried every messaging app out there.
Some have had success, and many others, myself included have not. I CAN send group messages, however the replies from the group come back separately, NOT within the group text I sent. I am a relentless SOB and have been trying to figure this out since I made the jump from iOS to Android. I've had the S3, S4, and now the Note 3. I've been working at this on and off for over a year. I have enabled any and everything to do with grouping in every app to no avail. Any suggestions that do not involve using other app like Whatsapp etc would be most appreciated. Rewarded even if someone can help me fix this.
I'm on a Note 3, Rogers Network (Canada) running stock firmware 4.3 and I've unregistered my phone number with apple online from every device that was ever registered with them. This feature is the only thing I miss from iOS. Someone, anyone, please save me!
Hi All quick question. I'm planning on rooting my sisters Galaxy note 3 and installing this rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2787627. She uses her phone for business and does not want me to proceed until i am able to back up all her text messages. Could anyone please provide me some direction on how to best do this ? I use a HTC one and backing up sms/mms has always caused a problem with my rom or just didn't work correctly so i don't know how that will all behave on a Samsung phone. Also If this is not possible is there a way to export the text messages to a Email or word document ? I'd really appreciate any support you'd be helping me out immensely since my sister will stop nagging me to do this

I use easy backup from the play store it backs up sms, mms, and call logs and others never had a problem with my backups you can even save the to your Dropbox or Google drive accounts check it out https://play.google.com/store/apps/...p&pcampaignid=APPU_m24sVPKkOtCvggTu1IK4Ag..it backs up your
I send out the same text to a group of people quite often and I get a message saying messenger is sending a large amount of messages do you want to allow this? I have to click on it for each message that goes out. Is there any possible way to change the limit? I know you used to be able to set it to anything you want in settings/security but it's not there anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated...this is so annoying.
Have you tried GoSMS Pro?
Maybe I've never sent to as many as you, but I've never encountered that warning or behavior. I've used GoSMS for several years.
I've only seen this when I send many messages in quick succession (either with Google Messenger or something like Tasker). There should be a checkbox that says to always allow.
I'm also looking for a solution. I was using ResurrectionRemix (a CM based ROM) and it has an option to set the text restriction. So, it CAN be done. We just need to know WHERE the code is so that it can be changed. I can't find any search results explaining how to accomplish this. That SMS Limit Unlock app doesn't work on later ROMS.
After hours of searching today - it appears that the setting has been moved into the framework?
com.android.internal.telephony

I hope I'm wrong as I'm no Android dev.... But, if I'm correct the only way I know of to "fix" it is to make the change in a custom Android build/ROM.
This SUCKS as I use mass texting for business purposes (communicating with many individuals who sign up for contract work). I really like Android N (along with AndroidPay) - but, looks like I'll be going back to M (on a custom ROM)...
If anyone locates/determines a way to alter that file using RootExplorer/Sqlite or some other way - please let me know.
