Just FYI, I'm using a Verizon GNEX and ran into the problem of not being able to download the Verizon Messages app from the market.

However, if you search for the Verizon messaging app in your phone's browser (or send URL to phone via chrome2phone), click install, it should prompt you to sign in and ask you if you want to open the link in browser, market, etc.

Now, if you pick the Market App at the prompt, it will say incompatiable but will still download the apk and install on GNEX.

Trick also works with Google Wallet on GNEX.

PS> Hopefully feature will be added to default app!

I agree with everyone that this is a problem. I also think it's funny that people keep suggesting things like GroupMe as the solution. They don't get what the problem is (iPhone-initiated MMS Group messages), and that proprietary solutions like GroupMe don't solve it.

But I would like to call out that this is Apple's fault entirely. They took very old existing technology and modified it so that only iPhones receive their group MMS correctly, and that non-iPhones mess it up. This is not what MMS was designed for originally, and kinda ****ty of Apple to do, actually.

BUT, it's kinda awesome and I really want it on my phone. :-)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trikotret:
Just heads up boys and girls. Handscent is working on it. As a matter of fact I am beta testing it with developer one on one. I really give these developers lots of credit for spending hours over developing. Today is my 3rd day going to be testing for him. He got the group mms to work. I was able to send group chats. Now he working on little things. like delivery report and auto convert to mms for group numbers. Once he is done, ill ask if he wants to post to public for beta testing. :eek:

So I have what I believe to be the stock messaging app on an HTC Inspire:

Android 2.3.3, Sense 2.1.

My messaging app is com.android.mms which is why I believe it is stock.

When I receive a group message, nothing indicates that it is a group message (no difference between that and a single). However, if just touch the message window (the text of the group message), I got a list of options that pops up and one of them is REPLY ALL. Another is VIEW MESSAGE DETAILS and if I select it I see all of the recipients.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scartee:
Right, but when you do "reply all" it will go as separate messages to everyone, so you won't be part of the thread on their end.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgrgrd00:
It has been working great for me so far! Really thank Handcent for getting this feature out there! Awesome.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scartee:
I don't seem to be allowed to post in either of the handcent threads, so i'll just post this here. Sorry that it's not totally relevant to this tread.

First off - a huge thanks to the developer for building in group text - I think a lot of people will find it very useful.

A few critiques of the beta:

1 Once I figured out how to have the mms automatically download, I still had to tap the message itself to display the text. It would be great to have these treated just like an sms. If you come into a conversation and have to tap each message before you can see it, it's less like a conversation

2 Each message seemed to notify me twice - once when it came in (when it first came in it seemed to go to the thread of the person who sent it) and then again once it got sorted into the conversation thread (it's like the program doesn't realize it's part of the conversation at first, but when it does it needs to send another notification)

3 Related to #2 above, the actual sending and receiving a message is a lot slower using handcent than with the stock messaging. The delayed amount of time it takes for the message to come in and be sorted combined with the need to tap on each message makes the whole process feel a LOT slower.

4 It would be nice not to have each individual message show the subject line. Especially when they're all "no subject". This would save a lot of screen space (<subject: no subject> ends up taking two lines on my phone) and help the conversation flow better.

Just my thoughts. Thanks again to the developer.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhuff83:
Pretty much hit the nail on the head with this post. I have to click download on most of mine as well to see the message.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tgrgrd00:
From what little I know about it I think the iphone requires the subject to be sent with the message in order for this to work. Not sure if removing it and putting it back in before the message is sent is possible (or just not displaying it) but I think that is why it is there at the moment.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshJ22:
I've noticed that if I don't leave the group thread and send two messages only the first sends correctly the other message and any subsequent message I send just goes out like an SMS to all parties. The only solution for me is to respond to the message and then leave the thread and then send another
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GPFboyJS:
Cannot post to Handcent Beta as well..

For the Group MMS/SMS I found that you need to tell handcent to under the Receive Message Settings to Auto Retrieve the message I was then not being notified to download the message, but I was still sometimes notified twice for the message.

My really only complaint is that sometime my reply does not go and the application just goes back to the mail conversation list. I will have to go into my running apps and Force Stop on Handcent and then restart the app to send the message and then I am good for a little while. This is several times a day since I have a lot of friends communicating via group SMS.

Otherwise I do love the feature and can't wait for more functionality.

After I hit download then the messages goes into the group chat. I have to do this for each message(s). I can then reply via group chat. Although sometimes it take a while for my reply to go through but thats ok. Just happy to finally have this feature. Just cumbersome when receiving message.

This is not an "iOS-only" feature

If I'm not mistaken, Windows Phone AND BlackBerry supported group MMS fully before group messaging was implemented natively in iOS with the announcement of iOS 5. Of the major platforms, Android is the only ugly duckling when it comes to group text messaging. Windows Phone, BlackBerry, and iOS are also capable of handling group text message conversations as well without breaking sent and received messages into individual text messaging threads outside of the group messaging conversation thread. Google alone is to blame for this feature not being available on Android. The group messaging that is available out there on iOS, Windows Phone and BlackBerry is cross-platform, meaning each platform uses compatible 3GPP2 standards of MMS that support two-way group messaging (receiving from all and replying to all) natively implemented into their preloaded messaging apps. More people need to get on Google about this.

I use Handcent SMS and has iphone group mms capability. Sometimes gets buggy but it works for the most part.

Just make sure under settings> application settings and all the way down check "Thread group conversation".

And in Setting> sms receive setting check "Auto retreive"

Oh and dont forget to make it your default sms also in application settings under Default Messaging Applications. Select All.

Sadly, my roommate who came from having the last 3 iPhones is going back to it after using the Galaxy S III for a week. He loves the phone, but he is big on group chatting and unfortunately if that is one of your uses for you phone, there's nothing that can be done on Android to seamlessly do this with other iPhone users. What is a huge con for him, doesn't apply to me since the only time I've ever used a group chat was on Fb. The only reason I'm posting on here is because I've been looking for a solution for him but apparently GO SMS's feature is still buggy and from the looks of it, Handcent's is as well. So up to now, Android still lacks what seems like a standard feature on other services (Windows, BB, Fb, G+, Skype, etc.)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EeZeEpEe:
I'm using it too on my Galaxy S III and it's been working okay. Do you get a double alert from Go SMS Pro though? What happens for me is that I'll receive a reply from someone in the group text, I'll get it in the person's individual thread (First alert), then it gets moved to the group thread (Second alert). Some of my setting include "Message grouping" and "MMS Group Chat" are checked. I'm happy it works but it's a bit annoying.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznmode:
Are you rooted? You can freeze the stock messaging app with titanium back up if you're still getting double notification. You can leave it this way or unfreeze then it won't do double anymore. I think the issue is the stock messaging app not disabling correctly via its own setting.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoshJ22:
No, that's not the issue. The double notification is Go SMS posting 2 notifications. The first notification is when u first get an MMS in which it is placed in the thread of the person who sent the MMS. The second is when Go SMS recognizes it and automatically places the message in the group thread. It is kind of annoying
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aznmode:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aquariex24:
To give you an update, he took the SIII back like I mentioned and exchanged it for an iPhone 5. After having it for a few days he then took it back and is now keeping the SIII for good. :good: He said he didn't know why he took it back in the first place because (maybe other iSheep he chatted with pushed him to) because it's no different than the iPhone he had before but only a "bigger." So to summarize, he's no longer part of the Apple cult.

Oh and to actually answer your question, he said that since the messages in a group chat come in the form of an MMS, they sometimes wouldn't download. He's on AT&T which we figured out even if you're on Wi-Fi, you still need to have Mobile Data on in order to receive an MMS, unlike Sprint. So that problem got resolved. The other being of course is that's it isn't really fluid since the MMS first shows up in the text thread of just the person who sent it and I think once it's downloaded it then appears in the group chat.

[XPERIA X1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] enigma1nz:
Not sure why your X plays songs one at a time... is it your settings that are set to play one at a time? Every player I used plays them one after another, in the order you specify or shuffle or according to playlist or whatever... I can't say I ever had to physically advance songs. I listen to mine over the bluetooth and the phone is in my bag, would feel pretty peeved if I had to dig into my bag every time I need to get to the next song, especially if I am driving.

Hi all. So I bought my Nexus One near the end of June, but shortly after that, I decided to return the phone to get a refund as it's defective. I called them and they sent me a shipping label, but at that time I was not in town so I wasn't able to ship the phone back with the first shipping label. Then I called them, they sent me another one and this time I sent it back( bought another used one afterward).

It has been more than 1 month since I sent my phone back to HTC. But I still haven't received any refund, nor have they contacted me. So I've been calling them for more than 2 weeks, inquiring this issue and it has been escalated 3 times already to their escalation department. The representatives told me they were still waiting for the respond from them. But so far I still haven't got any respond from them after the 2 weeks.

Since it has been too long to a ridiculous level, I'm thinking to contact my bank to initiate a chargeback. Any suggestions, guys?
[Nexus One General] peliROJO:
Charge back isn't a bad idea. My experience with the escalation department is that they are slow and always require at least 2 additional calls.
[Nexus One General] ctbear:
HTC's customer service is nice, but their warehouse is horrible.

Next time you call them, ask to speak to a supervisor directly. Make sure you let him/her contact you frequently about your issue, and make sure you write down his/her name for future reference.
[Nexus One General] hbkmog:
Yeah, I have been contacting them for more than 2 weeks. Actually it's the 3rd time they report to the escalation center. I'm very unhappy with their lousy effeciency. Reps are nice and kind, but there's nothing they can do. And they don't have a number or email so that I can't contact the repair/refund/warehouse directly.

So far since I returned my phone in mid July, I still haven't got my $600 back.

Keeps calling, keeps escalating, keep bugging them if you can wait. If you can't wait, need the money or have just had enough initiate a chargeback and forget about it.
