Are you using the default messageing app?
Might work if you use google message?

I'm only able to use the default messenger I can't switch default apps.
Anyone find a solution to this? I'm on RealmeUI, CN version and changing default messaging app lasts a few minutes before the pop-up notification that messaging is reverting to the default app.

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?
How do I get group sms working? They all come through as separate messages from others and I don't see an option in text messages to enable it
The stock messaging app doesn't support it, I'm using Textra.
hello sms is pretty good.

+1.
dead easy/elegant do in Textra.
I've been using the new Google Messenger. It's pretty good.
In order to make sure group SMS is delivered to the group conversation for your recipients, make sure to select Use MMS for Group Messaging in your SMS client. In Textra, this option is unchecked by default.
I've just set up my nexus 6 with Fi, running the PureNexus rom. All my sms go through the hangouts app, although I have the default sms app to google messenger. This isn't a huge problem, but I would prefer to use the stock messenger app for its mms capabilities.
Any suggestions?

Just Open your device's Settings menu.
Under "Wireless & networks", touch More.
Touch Default SMS app and change it googles one

Yeah, thanks, I've already changed it to default in the main settings menu. All messages still go through hangouts. I've tried rebooting to no effect.
To be more clear, I have set the default messaging app to Google Messenger. I can send messages with messenger, but responses always come back through hangouts.

Go Settings, Apps, scroll to Hangouts, Disable, Reboot.

I tried this, it didn't help. I can send messages through messenger, but responses still come through in hangouts. Now that hangouts is disabled on my nexus, they don't come in on my phone, however I am able to view responses on the hangouts desktop app and on my tablet.
Fixed it
If anyone else can't figure it out I managed to fix the problem. In the hangouts settings menu there are two options for setting the default messaging app, one in the main menu, and one under account settings. Both have to be set for google messenger.
Hey guys. I'm coming from a S7 so I will use that as a reference for what I'm trying to do.
On the S7 if I sent a text message to two or more people I can reply all in the same thread or had the option via a little check box to send the messages individually. However, when I send or receive a group message I'm getting individual messages.
It sucks because if someone sent me a group text I can't see who else they sent the message too. And if I can only reply to it individually not as a single thread.
I hope I explained this properly. Does anyone know if there is a setting I'm missing here or is this "feature" not supported on MIUI stock messenger app?

Total PITA but that's the way MIUI handles texts unfortunately. I have looked for a solution but haven't been able to find one...

This is really pissing me off! I even tried 3rd party apps like Google Messenger app but it simply couldn't send the message. Pretty damn annoyed right now

I'm with you...I tried editing APN's, multiple 3rd party apps, etc. and can't get a solution. It's one of the things I have to live with for the time being.
Yeah, it really sucks because I have a handful of co-workers and friends that I use the group text with and now I can't use it. It's nuts that it's not supported.
Like you, I tried messing with APN settings and 3rd party apps but to no avail. If you find a solution please let me know because I'm seriously annoyed right now
I seem to have it working on an app by app basis. It works best from the default messaging app, but I hope this is something that will be fixed in the future.

What network are you on and what are your APN settings? I don't even think the default messaging app has settings pertaining to group text...not as far as I could see
I found Textra to be the best workaround for this. It has some smarts to figure out the group messaging... better than others at least.

AT&T, and their suggested settings for NXTGENPHONE
TextNow is an awesome app I found that lets you make WiFi Calls and also text over WiFi and of course supports group text messaging.
However, you will have to choose a new # which is not really a huge deal. Just another option for you guys. Been using it for a couple days and it works great!
I will try Textra as well and see if it works.
Textra is the solution . Supports GIF too

Yes, it is. That is what I used for messaging now. TextNow is good for WiFi text and calls though.
I use 'Textra' as my SMS messaging app and have set it as the default in settings, but after a restart notice it doesn't stick and I have to set it as default again.
Anyone else have this issue and is there a fix? Thanks.
I use Messages instead of the default Messaging app and it sticks.
Global EU ROM v2.09 here
The phone is dumb when you switch default apps because of the gaming mode. It's a bug. Email support. It also will bug out if you attempt to install a new launcher, until you go in and manually change it.
So until the bug is fixed, use:
Settings
Apps and Notifications
Default Apps

Yes I have the same issue as well, I use Google Messages and every time I restart my phone it keeps going back to the stock messaging app.
Hi,
Same problem here : Textra doesn't stick...
Regards.
I was using Swype keyboard, but it kept reverting to GBoard.
I thought it was a Pie thing, but maybe not.
Anyway, I read something about adding apps that you want to stick as default apps to Game Space...
Is that a thing?

After disabling default apps the apps do stick to what u set as default
Disabling the stock messaging app, after setting Google Messages as default, stops the stock app from taking over after reboot.
I cannot send sms but I can receive them any help I am on cn rom
