Soon as it malfunction, go to get help, send log with your concern. Samsung tech will respond within a few days with some resolve. I will try that. Thanks i will definitely do that so they can see how often this happens! Pigskin Astronaut. Mine is doing the same. Did you find a solution? What provider do you have? Having the same issue. I just sent support the issue, as mentioned by Comet. I have done a full shut down, cleared the cache to the phone and the message app, factory reset the phone and had their service team flash the phone.
Samsung has not given me any more troubleshooting assistance other than they want me to send them my phone without a spare or temp phone. The support provided by Samsung has been pretty horrible.
All text, messages, and replies within the group will appear together in one session. If a non-iPhone user is within the group, the messages will arrive as an SMS. You will only see any replies to your group message, and the members of the group will not receive the response.
Therein lies the problem when longtime iPhone users do the switch from iOS to Android. Although the same feature is possible with Android, it requires MMS to be activated. Mass texting or group texting is sending a text to multiple recipients. Each member of the group is entitled to see all the replies within the group.
So, to communicate with people in poor to zero data signal areas, is undoubtedly a great alternative. A full-way group messaging on Android requires the MMS protocol.
Doing this will change the global action whenever you try to send an SMS message to multiple recipients. Group texts will now go through the MMS protocol. Setting this ON eliminates that annoying notification every time a member of the group replies. Once all is set and done, you can now start and enjoy group messaging on Android. Additionally, you can now do it via your standard SMS app. Note : Some mobile carriers count sending messages over MMS to your monthly data bill.
You can even use third-party apps to do group messaging. The great thing about this app is that it includes a lot of features — including group messaging. GroupMe is one of the most popular apps for group messaging. Its popularity comes from its customizability and its useful features. A lot of people are satisfied with what the app brings to the table and, of course, among its features, is group messaging.
With that said, most of the free-to-use features already make it a reliable messaging app. Setting your phone to do group messaging comes with a few issues. The most prominent one that affects the overall user experience is the inability to add new contacts to an existing group.
Doing this, however, is possible with a chat app like Facebook Messenger but is impossible with a standard Android group messaging app. You have to start again and manually add each member of the previous group and then add the new members that you want to add. Telegram launches group video calls and animations, a year later. As long as you set the MMS settings correctly, you can send group messages to any of your friends even if they are using an iPhone or a non-Android device.
To disable group messaging on Android, you will need to go into Settings then Advanced. You can only stop receiving notifications from the group. To do this, open your messaging app then hold down on the specific group message. Is Group Messaging still relevant today? All of us will agree when we say that there are now better options to message a group. Facebook Messenger or WhatsApp are good examples of this. However, for areas where a data connection is drastically poor, then a group MMS would be great.

The universe and human stupidity are two things that are infinite. Ever been through a situation where your Android phone disturbed you while in an important event?
We sure did. Those were the times we wished…. Would you mind decreasing your stress levels or even expanding your lifespan for a few years? You get to work late, talk to a nagging…. Securing important files and data can make or break a business, particularly small businesses. This is especially true in this day and age, as businesses…. One of the major advancements that we have all gained from the era of digital information is the fact that new information can be delivered….
Google PlayStore can be simply defined as one of the most used app stores in the world. So as soon as you get an idea…. What about Blackberry users? I see the group with all the recipients, and they all saw my message but they could not see the other people in the group, and when they replied it only came to me. Who the hell still uses trash ass blackberry anyway lol?
With Go sms pro when I send a group text and I get replies…will everyone in he group text see the replies from everyone? Eric Yes this should work fine if you go to settings, MMS settings then enable group messaging. They can carry on an entire conversation and I will no longer be in it. How is this fixed? They are both available in the Google Play Store.
Will Google messenger allow me to send texts but when people respond to only reply individually… And be able to change the setting to a group text where i would want everyone to respond in one place. Hi Carol, Yes. My situation is a bit different. I have an android smart phone.
At this moment, all that I need is to send a text message to one person, and the same text message to be sent at the same time to a second party as an email. At this time, the message is to be sent to just two parties one party receives it as a text message, and the second party receives it as an email. Purpose: for your worship house, I need to send a text message one member, but I need to copy the treasurer the same message as an email. One text input field and a send button that initiates two actions: one sending the text from the input field to a specific number, the second sending the text from the input field as the body of an email to a specific address.
Etc etc. Depending on your skill level and how polished the end result needs to be it could take from a few hours to a few days even months to create. Yeah, but Go SMS is a great app and it works if you enable group messaging.
Sending group messages has always been enabled on my android phones. Just compose a new message click the contacts button and click more than one contact. Or you can manually enter them or you can simply reply to a message that sent to you and a group of people. Group messaging has been available for Android for years.
Are certain carriers unable to support group text??? Unfortunately cdma mode only works through 3g, so you have to sacrifice with this method. Reboot the app and see if it works. I am having the opposite problem with my Android. This is so annoying. Many android phones have a limit on the number of people you can text simultaneously.
I have also considered Handcent; but similarly, users are incredibly dissatisfied with the most recent update.
Both sites have comments about their most recent App updates that would make it impossible for me to use their App for my multitexts. I arrange wildlife rescues and need to text people simultaneously. My current Samsung phone has a limit of 10 people per multitext; so I have to send the text 10 times; which is time consuming and frustrating.
Any suggestions in the meantime? I am using 8sms as my texting app. I have no problems initially receiving group MMS msgs from iPhones.
But I delete conversations on a daily basis. The moral of the story is: MAC does whatever the damn they want, and to stuff with industry standards :p.
With go sms pro on a galaxy s3 andriod 4. When I send to iPhones it always come to them as individual text and same in return. I only get message from the original poster. Would really like to shut up my iPhone freinds but have never been able to make this work…. If i was involved in an existing imessage group and am now using an android, how to i get back into that existing group message?
Thanks for the breakdown. If one of them goes into the group thread and then try to send a picture, they claim it never sends. Is this a typical problem with GroupMe, or could it be something else perhaps my settings? I tried to go through to see if I needed to enable anything but found nothing Thanks! While creating a group as explained in your article, all the nos listed in the particular contact i. Is it possible to select specific numbers say only mobile no frm the multiple numbers.
Also incase the contact has 2 mobile nos can we select both or choose any 1 form the 2. Which app should I use to send out group texts but without everyone seeing the replies, only myself? I get complaints about people receiving too many texts from unknown numbers.
Is there a way to additional participants to an existing group text? I have looked and find nothing. Some groups work fine — others not at all. Kris, when I tried it always worked. Go SMS pro released an update yesterday and this may have caused this issue.
I can see a lot of negative ratings for this app. Sometimes this may fix the issue. Let me know if this works or not. Is it true -if you switched to an android from iPhone. I went to iTunes and dissociated my number with apple. I hear ithe takes awhile before your number is forgotten as an iPhone then your friends I phones will see you as an android and send correctmy formatted messages.
Hi Nancy, This was the case few months back. It drew a lot of press news mentioning that Apple intentionally locks down the users to their iMessage so that competing platforms like Android users suffer. However the good news is Apple responded and provided a way around for this.
If you have already switched to Android you can use this page from Apple website to deregister yourself. Hope this helps. He has never had an iPhone and cant receive some group messaging when generated by iPhone users. We will try the mobile vs iPhone contacts fix, but this is really absurd. One of the reasons I struggle to ever move back to Apple products. This website uses cookies so that we can provide you with the best user experience possible.
