So I've had my phone a little over 2 weeks now and still have not figured out how to get group MMS to show up in a single thread vs individual threads.
Most of my coworkers use iPhones and use group messages to coordinate in the field and its a huge drawback for me not being able to reply to all. My Nexus 4 handled this just find but I haven't found a way to enable it within the stock SMS app.
If anybody has a work around or directions to what I'm missing I'd be extremely grateful.
Thanks!
New Hangouts with sms/mms support. Stock app sucks for multi/prop/carrier devices. The only carrier app I have found that works well, almost perfect, between synced multiple devices even, is Verizon messages. If your trying to reply to all, why would you even want to show in individual threads... this is part of the problem. Enable group conversations, even in stock it shows multiple people in one thread for me.

The stock app from my Nexus 4 worked great and had the options to make group messages MMS and show all recipients in a single thread. On the T-Mo (so far as a I know, I think AT&T as well) there are no options within the stock messaging app for ANY group options.
I've seen people switch to using a 3rd party app like textra but I'm a bit disappointed that single-thread group MMS was not included for us (T-Mo).
Stock apk, a all I have is this. Works fine in one thread, multiple people. Pictures too. Though, no iPhone contacts. Verizon messages work with everything for me. I'm pretty sure the iPhone thing had been a long standing problem. I once remember using a modded apk that converted all to compatability(mms+). It also had a dark theme, looked exactly like stock,

The built in messaging in WM only shows so many messages per page. You have to keep clicking on the "older" link to keep moving through the messages. So I'm wondering if there are any SMS managers, etc. that will show the entire thread on one page. Also, show the time along with the date?
I too would like to know this answer for our kaisers and tilt 2's. However, i am suspecting it would slow things down a bit, but am willing to see what the difference is. Also the date and time would be nice
mine shows the date and time i recieved my text. not the entire thread though. i always delete my messages anyways. though it would be cool to see the whole thing on one page.

thats what i m looking for as well, the SMS client and build in dialer are the only cons for me with this phone
Mine shows the time on some, and the date on others, but never both on all messages. Makes no sense to me
not sure if this is what you were trying to see but if you go in to the contact individually it shows your entire conversation =)

Try resco contact manager. It incorporates nicely but I don't think it will be what you completely want because the rhodium is a nice device with great graphics. For wm 6.1 it was a great addition, but check it out.
Hope this helps.
Yeah, the date and time show up if it is the SMS was received in the current day. The problem is if you backup your phone and then restore it, like through myphone.microsoft.com, it loses track of the order.
The HTC version does show the whole thread at once, with dates and times but you can't export the thread like you can in the WM threading, which I do by just doing a select all, copy, paste to word, save.
I guess what I'm really trying to get at, is the ability to archive conversations as it appears in threading mode.
I have been having issues with the Phantom Voicemail issue on all the Cyanogen Mod roms.
I have tried changing the voicemail phone number through the My Carrier options, that did nothing. Tried clearing out the Dialer Storage, that did nothing.
I have spent roughly 3 hours trying to find a fix. Does anyone know of anything?
I use Google Voice, so the dual notification icons get annoying, not to mention the fact that this one doesn't disappear, and reappears if I reboot my phone, or go in and out of service.
If there is a file that I can remove to have it stop, and allow me to just use Google Voice, that would work great too, as of now, I just want the darn thing gone.
You have to download an app and black list it. There's a post around here somewhere. I'm on my phone so I can't find it. But look for Sprint's VVM. There's a link to the app in the OP.

The two apps I can think of are RedList, and SPC (Super Private Conversation). SPC is the bigger of the two apps (I think around 2-3mb?), but I don't think the free version of RedList lets you disable the notification icon (I could be wrong? Someone feel free to correct me).
Is there anything other then an application that can block the notification message?
Removing a file or changing a file perhaps?
No clue, though I'd wager it has to be done on the code level.
I don't think I've ever actually ran into this bug. I gather it notifies you of voicemails despite not actually having any? Odd.
It looks like this, with my phone number edited out.

No matter what the time it is, this was on first boot up. Then it "notified me" again, at 11:17 PM.
It's a known bug on Cyanogenmod...

Hi,
I've recently been having an issue with Textplus consuming a lot of battery power on my Nexus 4 (pics attached at the end). I was on stock rooted 4.4.2 while having the issue, then installed CM11 on hells-core, hoping a reformat and reinstall during the process would fix the issue.
Is this normal for Textplus on 4.4.2? I'm definitely not using it more than other apps, but I do use it for both regular and free texts. It stays in the background, and I send texts a few times a day.
I'm also unable to mark regular texts in Textplus as read, and in my phone's settings the app can't be marked as the default SMS app. To mark texts as read I need to run hangouts.
I would like to continue using this app, but as it stands it doesn't seem worth it. Does anyone here have a similar issue with the app?

Looks like you need to get another similar app. Try sending an email to the developer and/or check their website to see if they have a support page.
Sent with my Nexus® 10 minus 3
Get app ops starter from the play store. In it turn off location for text plus
Sent from my Nexus 5
Thank you, I just sent them an email with the issue. Also @jd1639, I was thinking it had to do with location requests, I'll download that and let you know.
So that icon on the bottom of all the Nexus 6 renderings that some of us thought was a new Hangouts icon is actually another new SMS/MMS app. I guess enough people didn't like the text messaging - Hangouts integration. Direct quote from Google as well as info from AndroidPolice below.
Messenger and Hangouts offer users choice, each have their own benefits. Hangouts work great for cross platform (web, iOS, Android) and cross medium communications (video, voice,messaging, SMS). Messenger will be specially designed to be a quick and easy way to send and receive SMS and MMS messages on Android; more to come (Nexus 6 will come with both apps).

That's nice. Though I wish Google would just integrate them both flawlessly and have one unified messaging system.
As long as the app has had the full material design makeover i'll use it over hangouts. Hangouts always had a problem with closing in the background on me no matter what the phone but the stock one didn't and it annoys the hell out of me
Awesome. I think if Google just keeps changing the stock apps from one version of Android to another it will really enhance the useability of the ecosystem. Nothing makes things easier than having to relearn an interface over and over again.
Like the pointless recent design changes to Chrome. I love those. It was so annoying how I had gotten used to the way Chrome works. Where are the stumbling blocks and unnecessary changed features? Without those things there is no joy.
The best thing would be if Google changes the order of the back, home, and whatever that square button is, with each version of Android. Even better, they could switch which shape correlates to which function, while simultaneously changing the positions. And really, why not try putting the navbar on the top or side or back of the phone?
Thank God for gratuitous changes, otherwise life would be so painfully convenient.
They need to have a standard, stock SMS app for AOSP reasons. I don't really see them ever getting rid of it.
Hopefully this unifies the messaging system.
Beating my brain. I have noticed when I receive a lengthy text message it does not show the entire message. It gives me the option to "view all". I have searched the forums and the phone and can't seem to find an option to show the entire text. Is this just and At&t thing or Samsung?

Just an at&t thing need to download a different sms app
I'm with Rogers and I have the same issue.
I'm going to avoid the Samsung apps...seems like the best thing from the issues I'm having...
Thank you all for the quick replies ☺

But if the other person isn't using Hangouts then it still is horrible

Facebook app does it as well. Most people have it because Facebook forces it via mobile IF you want to message people..
Yaata
Textra
Pulse
Are all amazing texting apps!
Yaata is the most customizable...And my favorite - also has chat-heads, but Android O won't support chat-heads, as of now - But we still have about a year on that.
Textra is the easiest and looks GREAT, and it's been around for a long time (at least since my S3 days, probably longer). Maybe a little smoother than Yaata, but not as many options.
Pulse is new (ish), but seems to have great features.
Facebook messenger is my go to default for sms. Mostly because of the chat heads and integration with all my FB messages
If you use Google photo you can create a link to your video in Google photo then share the link on stock messaging app with a few simple key strokes . Simple for me since I don't need all the bells and whistles from other message apps, nor do I care to familiarize myself with a new message app.
