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.

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

i think what you mean is be able to do a "group" send but i don't think so that is one of the options available under the sms application that comes on kaiser. You could search around for one that does enable that though, as i don't know of any (not that i ever looked for one, only text occassionally ).
when you create a new sms, where you put in the person you send it to, what i do is, hit the hard center button, and that brings up contacts, after you select the contact you want it returns to the send part of the sms, just keep repeating that process till you have all the people that you want to send it to. see if that works for ya or if thats what you wanted.

Try SMS-Chat!

Cheers - hadn't realised you could do that - was fed up with having to go through each menu everytime. I think I'll try it that way before I put more software on my device
Thanks again
hi there!! i wanted to know if there is possible to sen d an sms to more than one person at the same time... in my older nokia, i could creat group in contacts, or when i sent messages i could check the contact and tick those i wanted to sent messages at the same time for all...
but i don't know how to do it in diamond...
Add Recipient, then go and add next recipient then add next recipient?
if your going to mail all of them often save on in drafts and reuse it
EDIT: In the SMS go to NEW then in right down corner go to menu->Add Recipient
no, that's not the ideia...
what i want is to send one message but not just to one person, for example, i want to send a message saying "good xmas" to 50 persons at the same time...
but i don't know how to do that..
When in the new message, in "To:" click add recipient under menu, find the person you want, add him, and then click add recipient until you get all the recipients you want.
it works the same way as a email in Outlook. (on your PC)
I think this freeware is what you are looking for:

Erm, are u Trolling ?? Diamond is capable of sending to multiple people one SMS in one step, just do a new SMS
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 1st person
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 2nd person
then go to menu-> Add recipient for the 3rd person
... and so on
and all will get ur Happy Xmas
as i sayed earlyer ... so whats the prob bro ?
Exactly what I'm looking for as well, although the application posted above is good, is there anything which adds tick boxes to contacts so that you can select more than one contact instead of groups.
I know you can add and then add again but that is just annoying especially when you move from Nokia to WM...
just start writing their name in, then select them when i suggests the right person, and then start writing the next one!

Was that directed at me?
If your read the original request properly, the OP is looking for a way to send messages to many people without having to repeatedly tap "add recipient". You haven't provided a solution.
If you read the link I've posted, you'll see that it adds the ability to select any number of contacts using check boxes without the irritating repetition.

The above application does allow individual contacts with check boxes. After selecting a group, including the "All Contacts" group, the next screen has the check boxes.

I see.
The OP wasn't very clear, I guess I only understood him (or her) because I had been looking for a similar application. He also failed to thank you for your original suggestion.
However, it's best to not to acuse people of trolling just because you haven't understood their question!
sorry guys... i couldn't use my internet for a few days, so i couldn't read alll these messages.... first, i want to thank for the help...
and them maybe i wasn't so explicit as i should be.... but what i want is a way to could send one sms to a lot of people from my contact, but avoid to add recipient, then select one person, then go again to add recipient, then select another contact, and then again add recipient, select another contact, and so on... lets imagine i would like to send the particular message to 50 persons from my contact list... i would take an eternity... so i was looking for a program that allows me to go to add recipient, and inside it i could select those 50 persons that i want to get my message, and no add recipient, select contact, another add recipient, selecet another contact, and again add recipient,bla bla bla....
ok? was i cleared this time? hope so, sorry for my english guys....
i think that way it could be more easy to send mesages to a group of people, right?

Hi
Is there an app that allows you to send and recieve txtx from the G1 through the PC ?. I have a nokia and use pc suit to send and recieve txt through pc at work. Just wanted to know if you can do something the same on G1/Android ?
Google Voice. Get an invite, setup a new number, and send text messages through "voice.google.com" with that new number.
just use an email address?? I send/recieve texts from the wifey all the time from exchange. although it would be awesome if there was a program to redirect all incoming texts to an email address so if someone were trying to get ahold of me, i'd know now and not 8 to 16 hours later. (prisons don't allow cell phones.)

I thought about posting this earlier.... there's a huge downfall to it: getting people to actually text that new number.

I could see the difficulty in that lol.
Although, what I did was go to "contacts.google.com" and create a group of all the people I text on a regular basis. Downloaded "Contacts GroupU" from the market, then re-sync'd my contacts. Opened up Contacts GroupU, long pressed the group name and selected "Send SMS." Finally, notified them of the new number.
ive checked and unchecked "send as individual messages", and yet everyone can read each others replies when i do a mass txt send.
how do i stop this? i wanna be able to send a mass text to people, but i dont want anyone to be able to read each others replies.
i dont like this conversation style of texting. it wasnt like this on the evo LTE.
any help appreciated.

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
