I have a group of friends that have been sending texts back and forth yet when I get them, they only show the sender and not the other recipients. I first tried to find something in the settings that would enable multiple recipients/group message, but I couldn't find any obvious settings that would address the issue. I tried D/Ling a couple of alternative SMS/MMS apps (Handcent SMS and Go SMS pro) but neither fully resolved the issue. When I installed the Handcent app, my stock SMS/MMS app seemed to start working properly in that I could see some multi recipients and who said what, but that didn't last long as the two apps were conflicting. I uninstalled Handcent, hoping that it had made the necessary hidden settings change but it just went back to it's original behavior.
When I get these group MMS messages, the texts I receive are labeled as MMS and have a "play" triangle button that seems to play a blank 3 second audio file. Sometimes, the messages will need to be downloaded before I can view them, even though they're simple texts, no files attached. This could just be a 3G connection issue.
I've looked all through this VM Galaxy S2 4G forum and haven't found this issue addressed previously. I have seen it discussed elsewhere but not with any resolutions.
Am I the only one here having this issue? Is there a simple fix short of rooting/ROMing it?
