Is there any text programs that's capable of doing group text meaning it can send/receive group text and puts it in one text message not individuals ones for each person I send it to?

Pretty much all of them do - Handcent, GoSMS
And just for info, threads like this are supposed to be posted in the Q&A section. FYI.

I have GoSMS and I haven't found out how to set it so that the group texts are in a group instead of individual texts. I always get them as single texts from people (so I don't even know they're group texts). Do you know what settings to change to get it to show as a group?

I've come across an burdening issue sending a txt with multiple recipients. Though the grouped chat style text messaging is an incredible advantage, there are some cons and i'm wondering if they can be fixed somehow.
Because of the chat style text messaging, your first outgoing message gets coped to your inbox. Is there any way for the first outgoing message to NOT be copied to your inbox?
This poses an issue for when you are sening a mass/group text message. For example, if i send out "Happy New Year" to 50 people in one text, i get 50 outgoing copies in my inbox.
Suggestions?
It doesnt really get copied, The threaded sms app just shows that you started a conversation with those recipients. I do see what your saying though, and i guess it can get somewhat annoying having all those open conversations in your inbox, BUT now you only have those 50 or so threads in your inbox as opposed to (like me) thousands of messages to scroll through. Plus as an added benefit you can see who replied in an orderly fashion. I for one would like the option to turn sms threading on/off, but I guess this is progress...

Well as much as i love it, i would like to see that the program doesn't show the started conversation on the first initial text message. It should show it when they reply. This would solve the group text messaging issue

If it's even something that can be edited... might be part of the program's code.
I'd like to be able to move the messages into another folder but cant seem to find out a way to do it as the option isnt highlighted

sooo... i finally found a way to get all of my contacts onto the phone itself so that i can add those contacts to a group.
here's a link on how to do it in case you dont already know how to. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=769000
MY NEW FUSTRATION
When in the messaging app... When sending a new Group text mssg, Click on groups.... It takes about 8 seconds (seemed like forever, I thought my phone froze) to load the groups... Then when you select the group, it pauses for another 3 seconds,... then you have to individually select the contacts within the group....
Talk about time consuming! not sure if the lag is because i have over 1000 contacts total? but, the group im trying to send the message to only contains 10 contacts.
I was hoping that when I clicked on the group, that it would at least automatically select everyone within that group.
THERES GOTTA BE AN EASIER WAY thats not so time consuming...
why the hell do you have over a 1000 contacts. you can't honestly talk to all of them

Do any of you know if the HTC One supports group SMS/MMS messaging like the iPhone within the native Text Messaging app?
Meaning, if someone (on iPhone) sends a text message to 10 people (MMS), my reply will be an MMS message back to the 10 people, and all the people responding in that group will be contained in one thread?
I have an HTC Sensation right now, and it only does a reply-all that sends 10 separate SMS messages to each person. This isn't acceptable to me when trying to maintain a conversation.

If you have a look, i might be wrong, but i found this earlier, when you goto Create Message, put all the contact in as per usual, then there is a statement with a checkbox saying 'Send as Individual Message' uncheck that box, and hey presto. . . group message.
Hope this helps. . .

That's good that i can send a new message out like that, but what about on Reply? Is that checkbox available? And if other people are replying, is it all grouped in one thread?

I definitely would try it out if i had the phone . I don't have it yet, and want to make sure that it can support it because a lack of Group MMS is a show stopper for me buying the device.

This drove me nuts after we had our first baby and I used group messaging to alert friends and family. My understanding is that "Send as individual messages" does not mean it will start individual conversations with each person but it will create an individual thread with each person once they reply.
This is from HTC's website: https://support.htc.com/en-ie/005-HTC_One/060/020
Here is another XDA thread that I found helpful: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2218358
I think everyone will see all replies no matter if you select "Send as individual messages" ... the only difference is how the HTC One will display the replies. A group MMS will combine everyones replies into that one thread, group SMS (unchecked box) will show each persons reply in a thread with just that person (though everyone will get that SMS).
make sense? (not really for me either)
I hope this helps!
Update: I sent a SMS and MMS and checked send as individual messages... The recipients did not see each others replies. I have group messaging turned off in settings.
Send as individual does nothing more than create individual threads upon replies
Ok... Anyone else having problems with group texting?

Yes, the stock messaging app does not support group messaging. Seems very strange to me...I mean, what is this? 2011?
Anyway, if you update Hangouts and use it for SMS/MMS, you can use it for group messaging.
I was hoping that the stock messaging app supports group text but I guess that's not the case
Create a new message >Search for your first contact by name or number >Tap the "To" field at the top, after the comma >Search for your second contact >Repeat for your group until you're ready to write you message
This is how it has always been on stock messaging. Doesn't work like other messaging apps though e.g. only you get the replies, not everyone in the group
I just use Textra messaging app. It's like the stock messaging app on steroids.

Then...that's not group messaging. It's mass texting.
