Is there a way I can group text with the stock app? when I try it sends it to them individually and it's not a group. I tried go sms pro but it's a little slow
Do I have to root my Z to be able to get group texting?
I know the S4 users can send group texts with no problem to other users and iphones as well
In the field where you enter the contact name you want to message. Just click after the comma and start typing another name.
Or click the icon to ad contacts then just tick the boxes of all the contacts you want to send to.

Well it shows as a group text but it doesn't really send it in the same thread. It sends it individually to them. It's just like mass texting, I want GROUP texting
Group txt is not native in Android until 4.2. I think the sg4 ships with 4.2 which is why it has it. T-Mobile has not released the 4.2 update for the Z but I don't know about other carriers holding the update back . I've been using Textra and it works fine for group txt. I am noticing a few times the app will not download received picture messages and it does not update the threads if you send or receive picture messages with other apps. Meaning the default messaging app won't show the pictures in the message threads when they are sent or received with Textra and if you send the picture in the default app then the thread in Textra doesn't show them.

I noticed today that the SMS Messaging app displays the word Sent and a time for text messages that have been received rather than sent. Is it just my Nexus One (FRF91) that is having a brain fart or do other see the same issue ?
It's telling you when the message was sent to you. It's working fine.
So a message that my phone has received is marked sent because someone sent it to me ? Android 2.1 marked it as received ?
I think it's a regression. It should say "Sent" for your messages and "Received" for your contacts' messages.
Also, when I get a SMS notification and select it from the notification bar it takes me to the list of SMS threads rather than the specific thread for the contact who just messaged me. I'm pretty sure this wasn't the behavior for Eclair and is another regression or a horrible UI decision.

is anyone else having a bug where when you click the first message in the messaging app and it is showing a completely different conversation? Ive been sending many messages to the wrong people because of that.

It is telling you what time the message was sent to you. I do agree that it should say Received but it's not a bug.

That has happened to me a couple times. I have always noticed, thankfully, before sending a text. Except for once when I accidentally texted one of my boys with a <3. lol
Is there a way to be able to make a group of contacts and be able to send to everyone group a text message? I know blackberry's can do this and I don't see why Android wouldn't

A quick search on the Android Market for "Group Text" reveals 78 results.
Try Group SMS pro. Its free.

I just got the Incredible S a couple days ago and love it, glad I dumped my Xperia X10i for this.
I have ChompSms installed and every time I get a message I get it from Chomp and the phone book, how do I stop this?
Also, I imported my contacts from my sim card that I brought over from the Xperia and they show up fine and are useable but I can't move them into groups, when I go into a premade group (Family) and click to add a contact none of my contacts show up, how do I fix this?
Any help would be appreciated

When you say 'the phone book', I assume you mean the stock messaging app? If you open the 'Messages' app and go into settings, you can turn off the notifications and you'll then only see one notification (the Chomp one) when you receive an SMS.
transfer those contacts of your's to the phone or sync them with your gmail account, then probably you can add them in groups.
thanks, the double message one worked, I don't have my friends list synced with my gmail account by choice, I don't sms alot of the people on my gmail lol
I used the default messaging app for my HTC Vivid. I tried group messaging and sent out a picture to many of my friends. It came to them as a group message, but to me, it came back as a single thread(the original thread, one-to-one thread). It would never come back as a group message. It caused a whole lot of problems because of this. ;(
I was wondering if anyone else had this problem, or is it just me?
Or maybe does someone have a suggested app to replace the default messaging app, that is fairly similar to the default one?

i use handcent
I didn't like handcent, because of the looks. Is there any other options?
Sent from my HTC PH39100 using XDA
i personally use go sms as my messaging app
I tried both handcent and go sms. Is there anything more similar to the default app? But thank you for your suggestions.
i use gosms as well and it is great you should use it as well
Do you know if there is a fix for android 4.0 stock messaging app for group messaging?
haha I had the opposite issue, if I grouped people, whenever I sent a message to any 2 people in the group, it turned it into a group message. So I have to send messages individually, if I don't want the entire group seeing individual responses.
Anyone know a fix to this?
The ability to send out to a group of people, more than one, the same message (Multiple contacts in one message), without turning it into an "all can read responses" group message.
So you could send out a group text and it became as group message for all? I wish I could do that. What messaging app do you use?
This has been asked in other places for other phones, but I've never seen this answered. Here's the scenario:
1. I receive a group text normally
2. I respond to the group text a few times and it works fine as a group text
3. I respond again to the same group text and it suddenly sends my message to each person individually
This is maddening! I am using a VZ Moto Maker. Still on 4.4 cuz I don't want to ruin root. Using Handcent, but I've experienced this with stock app as well.
Any ideas?

You can use Hangouts, it works for groups.

I'll give Hangouts a try. Hopefully it will solve this. Thanks. I wish Hangouts had the popup notification like Handcent.
Talk to verizon. Group messages are sent as mms witch uses the data side of your phone. It could just be a sim card or settings issue on there side. Are you getting all of the picture messages you are sent and do your picture messages send without issue?
