I've been having an odd problem lately. When responding to group text messages (which are already handled badly when not everyone has a group-text capable phone), my responses get filed in a separate string with me as an anonymous sender in lieu of the group conversation thread. I am currently running Tweaked 3.5 for a while and this has only recently started happening. Replies to individual text messages still behave as normal, being stored in that message thread. Searching online has proven difficult, since anything with the word 'anonymous' gets tons of junk about spam messages. I'd show a screen shot, but I recently cleared the memory of messages in order to try and troubleshoot the issue.

I had created groups within my Google contacts to better organize them. One group I had was "Co-Workers". I later decided to eliminate that group.
I then started noticing that every time I reply to a text from one of the people that was originally in the Co-Workers group, it would send it to EVERYONE that was in the group - about 15 people. However, if I start a new message to that person instead of just replying it only goes to him and no one else.
Is there something else that needs to be cleared such as a cache I'm not aware of? Again, the group was eliminated from within Google. I originally had Handcent and thinking that that may be the problem, I eliminated it and am just using the stock messaging. This is very annoying because I start receiving messages from all of these other people wanting to know what I'm talking about. PLEASE HELP!
I am currently using GOSMS and was wondering if there was a setting to have the group messages come up as it's own conversation. Currently it shows up as getting a normal text message from the sender, so I have no idea it is even a group message. Any help would be great, whether it is a setting i missed or a new program (i've use handcent and the same thing happened), or anything else. I have looked through multiple threads and couldn't find any answers.
Let me preface this by saying that I'm not sure if this is a ROM issue or a general issue so I'm posting in both locations to get more coverage.
I've been running Newt's GPE ROM for a while now with very few problems and am very satisfied. However, today I received what I believe is a group message from several iPhones that my friends own. Only one of the messages actually got through, the rest just show delivery reports and empty messages. I am able to get messages from single iPhones and am also fairly sure I can do group messaging with several other android devices.
I'm using the Google default messaging app, and have allowed group message SMS. Any insight as to what is going on?
Hi All,
New to XDA Developers and seeking some assistance. I'm having a lot of problems with MMS, especially when it come to group texting via iMessage. Most of my family and friends are on iOS and when group texts start to fly back and forth quickly problems start to happen:
1. Some texts fail to arrive so I'm "lost" when trying to make sense of the group text
2. Some texts are stuck in "Downloading" mode, only to never get completed
3. Sometimes when attempting to reply I end up replying just to the individual and not the group
Basically group texting is shot useless for me at the moment.
I have tried different apps apart from the native messaging app. Messenger (Google), GoSMS, Google Hangouts - all seem to exhibit the same issues. If anything it's more of an annoyance and at the end of the day I suspect folks are thinking I'm ignoring their messages. SMS seems to work fine, it's just MMS via group texting.
Please let me know if you have any solutions , looking forward to hearing from some of you!

Same Issue
I am having the same issue. You couldn't have explained it better. Did you ever find a solution? I just found this thread.
Same thing - Tap to Download
Hi guys - I have the same problem.
I have tons of group chat MMS's that come in and say "downloading" but never download. After about ten minutes they switch to say "Couldn't download. Tap to download."
The weirdest part is, every day i have dozens of these, there are certain times of the day where they will actually download. It's like the signal strength comes in real good for a certain time of day and I'm able to get them downloaded.
I can provide screenshots if needed.
There has to be a solution to this, or at least a known problem. I've read about this all over the place for years but no one has a concrete solution or reasoning as to why the MMS don't download properly regularly. XDA must know!

I have a problem that i have tried to google but haven't came up with any results, maybe i'm asking the wrong way but this is a big issue for me personally.
some contacts i have (eg John) uses to mobile numbers, a personal and business.
i send text messages to both of his numbers depending the time of day and what the messages are concerned.
htc stock text message app compiles both these numbers under the same thread under the same contact name.
so basically when i go into the message thread, i'm seeing messages that i send to his personal and business number.
i can select to view which number for John the messages sent and received but sometimes it gets confusing, not used to
is there a way where i can have 2 John message threads when i get into the stock text message app? as this way will help me determine on what number am i sending to and keep the business to business and personal to personal.
i can't find any setting for that within the app and still have not come across this topic when tried to google
**besides using another 3rd party app like 'GO SMS' is there a way to solve this?
