Yes we all have that in stock tw. Try sending and receiving group text and you will see how messed up it is. The problem for starters is that when getting a group text it wont be properly threaded into the right group conversation. Instead you will get it into a completely seperate text depending on who sends it. You can send them just fine but when it comes to getting them from other people is when it gets really messed up.

I haven't had any problems me and my lodge brothers use it all of the time to discuss meeting times upcoming events whatever we have going on

I use go SMS and the recent update works great. I get all group messages from iphone in one message. You have to enable it in settings.

I'll just send you the one I'm using if you would like just add it to system/apps

And it will replace your messaging app.

Send me a pm with your email please and all you would have to do is just click on the attachment and make sure you have install from unknown sources enabled.

Hmm I'll send you another one but what you will have to do is this download the app from your computer rename it to SecMms.apk save it in any folder.
Then use root explorer navigate to the folder in which you saved the renamed apk and move it to system/apps and click yes if an option to replace existing file with the same name.

    It drives me nuts when I get those group texts from iPhone users. I love how android does it, separate threads

    One thing that kills me about stock touchwiz is the lack of group texting. I don't want to switch to a 3rd party SMS app, but I am thinking that is what I have to eventually do.

    it isnt really "coping" when I have never wanted to group text. facebook tells all my friends what i want them to know about...

    I guess it's handy to the sender. I assume they haven't been on the other end though.


    Is it even in option on a "stock" android phone. I've had moto, htc and now Samsung, I don't ever remember it being an option.

    It is standard now on aosp 4.2. I used to think it was annoying, but now after using it with friends, I see why it is useful personally.
