Loving the phone running wicked rom with kt kernel on att. Everything has been great but even with group messaging turned on I can send the group message but comes back one person reply in group message and the other not. Anyone experience this issue with the s4 yet? Thanks in advance.

My phone originally seemed to work great for group texting....now doesn't seem to work...idk
And neither of you are on stock rom are you. The Rom you're on doesn't support group messages.

Group Messaging on both stock ROM and CM10.1 Nightlys have worked fine for me. It all depends on who you're sending it to and how they handle group messaging.
Prior to the S4 I had a iPhone 4S. I regularly have a group message with two iOS users, and one BlackBerry user.
On iOS 6.1.2, it handles it fine. One box for all 3 users. Every response from all 3 users would go into the same group box chat.
On my S4, with stock ROM, using both stock messaging apps and 3 different Messaging apps I tried out, and on CM10.1 Nightly, it has some issues but its the other devices causing the issue. Same 3 users, 2 iOS and one BlackBerry. I can group text all 3 users. They will all get my group text in a Single box. The two iOS users responses will show up in the group chat. However, the BlackBerry's response will show up in a separate box from just that user. (Hard to tell if they are talking to just me or the group).
This is due to the nature of group messaging. By the standard spec, MMS and SMS messages do not allow group messaging. However, there is non-standard protocol and headers in MMS and SMS that will allow for Group Messaging so long as the phone supports it. That's the tricky part. Because there's no standard for it, every phone and device implements it differently. When I send group chats its sent as a MMS message. iOS picks up on this and replies in kind with a MMS message. Apparently BlackBerry, at least the way my friend has it set up, it gets the group message but instead replies with a SMS. Apparently iOS had a way of deciphering that the SMS was a reply to that group chat, and throws it in the same group chat. However, Android is not able to tell that that SMS belongs to the group chat for some reason and interprets it as a separate text.
So it's all about what devices/settings your friends have set up and whether they reply in the correct manner that Android can respond in.
Thankfully for me 90% of my friends have iPhones which does support group messaging fully, at least where it can interact with my S4 properly, and so long as they have the "Group Messaging" function turned on it Settings>Messages, so it's not much of an issue for me. Just this one friend with a Blackberry I have a issue with. Theoretically you would run into issues with Android so long as they have Android 4.2+ or GoSMS or any 3rd party Messaging app that supports groups.
Ive just started doing group mms...its a great feature. But sometimes i get confused. One of my buddies sent out a group mms to about 12 or so people and only three were in the same thread and the rest were just coming in on their own message. The wierd thing was tho, on each message it showed that there was the same 12 people. I dont know why it went to a single thread for some people and not the same thread. I do group mms all the time between iphone and my nexus 4 so thats not the problem. Anyone got any ideas?
Everyone has to have group messaging on their end for all of the messages to show up in the same text you got. If the person responding does not have group messaging capabilities it will come to you as a separate text

I'm sure you guys know about the group text. I recently moved to the galaxy s7 from an iphone 6. I noticed that group texting doesnt really work. I can send group text messages to my friends with iphone but i will only be able to see one person's reply, and i dont get anything from anyone else. MMS is enabled and group chat is enabled. Does anyone know a work around, tip, or trick to get group texting?

I fixed it got all of my iphone friends to delete my text messages on their phones and i deleted them on my phone, then re-established a group message and it all worked. Btw you have to go to the apple website and de-register imessage for the apple account that you previously had.
Is anyone able to get the group chat working on this? i only get single messages from who ever replies individually instead of the group message.

yeah i had the same problem but just download the android messages app, make that your default messaging app, and it should work itself out. some reason group chat setting is not available on the stock messaging app.
My son's soccer coach sends group texts, I receive them and see 8 phone numbers for the group of parents. I can respond, and his texts always(?) show in this "thread". But... when another parent responds, it shows as a new thread/conversation for each parent. I'd like them all in one thread/conversation. In advanced settings I have group messageing set to group MMS, auto download check, simple char not check, delivery report check, none on SIM, phyone number is correct. Any ideas how to do this?
I'd like to stick with this app as I like it better than the other text apps.
TIA!
