Group SMS

Does anyone have a regedit, or program they really like to send text messages to groups? The HD2 will only limit 10 recipients per group.

Yes, look in the development & hacking forums for Group SMS.

Thanks for the help. I've already searched within the xda developers forums and only found programs recommended back in 2007. I'm looking for something that will work with the HD2 and specifically WM 6.5

Hmm,
I wasn't aware that Group SMS and its sister, Group MMS, did not work with 6.5. News to me.
You might want to ping a pm to the developer asking the question.

Anyone successfuly install a thrid party group messaging app? Or, better yet, find a way to regedit the limit of contacts allowed for texting to be above 10? I need to send out texts to 40 people in my group. I tried the trial version of SKB Group SMS and that wasn't something I would consider. Is that the only option that will allow someone to text more than 10 contacts at once? This is killing me.

Think I may have found something here

[Q] iphone group messaging

iphone uses MMS to send single group threaded messages to each other, i have been added to a chat group like this, except for when i receive the messages from the group they arrive on my phone from each separate individual. so i cant really respond to the group.
I have tried handcent and go sms pro, but neither of them seem to work
i could use groupme, but that is an inconvenience to the other users of the group
there must be something in development or a loop hole that anyone knows about, if testing etc is necessary i could def help with that

With the default Android messaging app when you start a new message you can type in multiple contacts separated by commas
From something awesome

thanks for the reply but thats not actually what i am trying to do, that would send a bunch of people the same, but separate messages. I am looking to send the same message to a bunch of people in the same thread, like groupme does, but not with an app and using MMS just like the iphone4 does

anyone got an idea?

Group messaging problems and getting back replies as individual messages

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

Google Messenger Does NOT Group responses in Group Messages Together?

Noticed on my Nexus 6P - after switching over from Hangouts to Google Messenger - that my group texts or MMS's do not get grouped together.
In particular, I initiate the group text/MMS but my participants' replies will get separated from my original initiated thread into it's own threaded response.
This creates basically 2 separate threads.
Now I could jump on to the new response thread & participate there but it will never have my original text mssg. attached to it.
& the original thread will thus go dormant with no replies ever.
I can respond to the responses in my original mssg thread but any replies will never get attached to my original mssg. They will go to their own response thread.
Anyone else have this problem?

AFAIK you don't send group texts via Google Messenger but broadcast texts. So if you send any message to 5 recipients 5 recipients get a text and not that group. If they respond only you get the text and not the other four, too. That's why...

I get group texts to work using it. I have one friend where his response always comes through seperated but everyone else is in the original thread.

Not sure if it will clear it up for you , but you can change the behavior in settings > advanced > group messaging
I rarely use group messaging, but if I recall correctly in the past, those settings allow what you want.

Actually - what you described is 1 of 2 options under the Messenger settings.
The other being getting a group reply where all the participants to my original MMS gets to see everyone's responses.
My problem is that the responses do NOT get attached to the a MMS - if I initiate it.

Yeah, it seems your one friend's reply is my current condition for all group MMS replies on my N6P.

Yep, as I mentioned in my reply above to dannydoowop - I am currently using the "Send a single MMS to all recipients" option.
However, the replies to a mssg that I initiate will inevitably be segregated into their own - new - thread; away from my initial mssg to everyone.

so once you get a reply it creates a seperate thread in your messaging app and ALL replies go into that thread that you can respond in? or does each reply create a new thread that all other replies then go into?

Yep. That is what happens.
I will not see 2 threads listing the recepients:
1) With my lonely initial mssg
2) With everyone's responses & no initial mssg.
I can choose either to add to the conversation but any response from counterparties will fall into #2.

That's weird I don't know why it would be doing that

If it is correct in your settings try deleting the group you made and create a new one. Also, there may be something about Hangouts that is effecting it. Only other thing I can think of to try to fix it is to clear the app's cache.

I have the same problem, did anyone find a solution?

I don't use WhatsApp but, the following thread may be helpful for what you are looking to do and, if not, maybe you can post your question within that thread for some member guidance.
