Looking for an app that groups sms messages...

If I have an sms message with 2 or more people how can I keep them in the same thread? Now it shows up as an mms with everyone participant in a different convo. I cannot respond to all and there are times I am not even sure if its a group text or a single text. It used to automatically group on my blackberry

Just want to comment on a couple apps I've discovered since I got the new phone.

1. Volume+: Totally fixes the quiet speaker issues.
2. IMO: I used to use eBuddy and Trillian. Saw a couple articles about this IM client. It's freaking fantastic. Best IM client I've ever used.
3: Lightflow: I think everyone has heard about this one by now, but it's sweet. Control your LED notifications.

many of my favorites have already been listed...here are the ones that i use the most

Shiprack - for the habitual package tracker, just email or forward your tracking numbers to the app and it tracks all of your packages at once, you can set notifications at any step

Beyond Pro - best podcast app IMO

Siriusxm - app needs improvement, but as a subscriber i use 100x more than any other music app

FiOS DVR Manager - if you are a FiOS customer

Runkeeper - workout gps tracker and more

Astro File Manager

Dropbox - been using more than ever with the Nexus

Finance apps - for your credit/bank accts

Open Table - a must for big city living

Our Groceries - sync shopping list on multiple devices, great with the wife

Maybe not what you're looking for but, but maybe you can do an mms without a picture. You will be able to have unlimited characters and group the message. (haven't tried it though)

Swype is not "officially" available for the Galaxy Nexus, there is a working version on Various Android forums, but you have to look for it...try DroidLife.com

I downloaded volume + but i have no idea how to use it. Can it be used to make notifications and ringtones louder? If so could someone please explain? Im missing a ton of texts, calls, etc. Oh and can this eventually be fixed with an update from google or vzw or is this a hardware limitation?
