reb I just don't like it man. The battery sucks and just lots of random bugs.

I've been with iphone for years, just feeling a switch.

I don't see the difference in having to use an app or not...

Do any of you get double pictures when someone sends one to you? I get this all the time on my s4 and can't figure out why.

oh i agree, but one of the hang-ups with previous versions of android was that the group texting wasn't seamless. GoSMS! enabled it but any time a group text came through, you received 2 notifications (1 for the individual, 1 for the group). Luckily Textra pretty much solved every single issue...and also the latest android updates did as well.

I had issues with the galaxy s2,but my note 3 works great. I just use the stock messaging that came with the phone.

Group texting sucks for the most part, but I guess people like it.

i hated the go sms app. no matter how many times i turned double notifications off i would still get them like 10% of the time. it didnt make much sense. plus most of the pictures wouldnt properly import. it was little things but i didnt like it and was happy when the stock app enabled group texting.

I suggest you get the new HTC One that was released today BilJette. You can buy it right now.

Google Hangouts allows you to group text the "proper" way and it will likely be the stock SMS app on Android phones shortly.

When you open Hangouts, you have the option to enable SMS. Do this and you are good to go.

With the current stock SMS Android app, you can group text but when you get responses, they come in individually. That is not the case with Hangouts. It will perform the way the OP is wanting and keep everything in one thread.

I have an S3 and it does group texts. Just need to have the right setting on.



Just got an S3 a couple weeks back. Where's the setting to turn it on? It's been infuriating only replying to single messages in a group text

I've been having fun with the GroupMe app lately, check that out after you decide on your phone choices

Yes. But don't even think about sending me one. I will find you and beat you.
