Desi, I have a Droid X.  Old I know.  Anyway when somebody sends a mass text out and I'm on the list (say of twelve people) I only see the sender of the text and not everybody the text was sent to.

How do I change the settings to see who all received the text

And how can I reply to all

Thanks

That's a group message.  Most default stock messengers for Android 4.1 and earlier do not support group messages.

You'll have to download and use a third party text messaging app (like Go SMS Pro , GroupMe or Handcent) and within the settings enable Group Messaging.

Most of those people that are sending group messages are iPhone users.

Damn, that's like speaking Greek to me.  Probably be easier just to go buy an iPhone.  I'm due for an upgrade anyway!  Seriously, if I download one of those apps will my contacts transfer?  Thanks...

LOL.  Sorry for that. 

All you need to do is download one of those apps.  I use Go SMS Pro, so when you install that it will prompt you to change your settings so it's your default messaging app.

Your old stock messenger will still be there.  You will probably want to open your Stock Messenger app, go to SETTINGS and disable notifications from that or you'll get two notifications (one from your stock app and one from your new app) every time a text comes in.


If you use Go SMS Pro, the "Group Messaging" option is under MENU->SETTINGS->SEND SETTINGS and then select the box on the 3rd line that says "MMS GROUP CHAT".

You will also want to go to MENU->Settings->RECEIVE SETTINGS and put a check mark in the box that says "DISABLE OTHER MESSAGE NOTIFICATION" to make sure you don't get duplicate notifications.


Hope that helps.

It does, thank you.  I'm so technology challenged it's ridiculous...

I'm turning into one of those old farts who resists and hates change.  I went to some website the other day, forget which one, and it had changed so much I couldn't figure it out.  I absolutely hate when websites change more than I hate grocery store resets...

Got my paper statement from my retirement investment account yesterday and it totally changed.  Had me all messed up, so much so that I called them to complain about it (like that's going to do any good).  Have a meeting next week with my rep to go over it with.  It wouldn't be so bad if I could get the numbers to add up but they don't and instead of having a consolidated statement along with your individual account statements you just have the individual account statements so you manually have to add up the numbers to figure out how you fared for the quarter... 

Don't ever get old bro...

My wife has an Iphone 4 and I have the Galaxy S2. Much bigger and better screen and easier to navigate. Yes, that is what she said. Her touch screen for messaging is a bit nicer than mine but I like mine a whole bunch better and only have had it for a couple of weeks and still learning things on it. My money is on droid. 3/12 10:43 AM | IP: Logged
