Turn off notifications in one of the apps. That will stop the double notifications.

I haven't used stock SMS in a few months buy if you have this in your stock SMS app settings you can get disable notifications all together and avoid that issue.

And as you can when you in check notifications all methods of notification are disabled

Yup, I've disabled notifications in the stock app so should only get them from Handcent now.
You can turn the notification off the stock messaging in the message settings that everyone keeps screenshotting

That is really strange. Mine looks exactly like Go Ogle's, too (except for the text limit numbers). Running stock 4.2.1.

So can you group message with the stock messaging app, without rooting? I'm talking about the type of group messaging where everyone can continuously talk in the same thread, not the type where you send a message to multiple people, but their replies come back in separate, individual threads. I have have tried several 3rd party messaging apps on my current phone (including Handcent) and found each of them to be buggy. That's why I want to know if the stock messaging app ont he Nexus 4 has this functionality as I am considering purchasing one.
No I don't think you can. There's a separate thread on the subject here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/google-nexus-4/246179-need-help-handcent-go-sms-pro.html
Hope you find it helpful.

Hey all,
Just created an account to respond here because with stock Android on my Nexus 4 and using the stock messaging app, I have group messaging. Been worthing with people on android and iphone for me. I see everyone in the same thread in the app. The mms group setting is checked on.
The reason I came to this thread was because my friend who bought nexus 4 at the same time does not have group messaging. Only difference we can think of is carrier. I have ATT and he is on TMobile.
Maybe it is carrier specific because they strip headers?

I haven't had any problems sending group messages, but when I receive one I can't edit who I respond too. Only way around this is to start a new message.
That's because you've opened up an individual message, or started a new message, then hitting settings. What you need to do is press settings before you open or start a new text. Open up your messaging app, and immediately press settings, and you'll see it.
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere earlier than 4.2.2 allows the group messaging.. Can anyone confirm this?
There's a lot of misinformation in this thread.
A group SMS means that when you send you send multiple SMS to multiple people. In order for them to do a REPLY ALL, it has to be an MMS. Why? Because in an MMS it can store in the header information that this message was sent to contact A, B, C, D. So Handcent can do group messaging, but it's done as an MMS. If you remember Android pre 4.2 or even 2.x, when you mass messaged people, it would be a single SMS to each contact. When iPhone users started messaging group messages, you'd get a group message, and you could see the message was sent to 5 people or wahtever. However, when you replied it would only reply to one.
Handcent. GoSMS and Stock messaging in 4.2+ has fixed this and you're now allowed to reply all, but it HAS to be a MMS. There's no such thing as a group SMS. I suppose you could reply as single SMS to all 5 contacts, but you would throw their thread off on their side. So while they do get your reply, it's no longer part of that thread.

i'm running stock... heck i just reset and erased last night after updating to 4.2.2... and i have the option to check/uncheck group messaging.
Just for clarity, as nobody seems to have said -
In the UK, MMS messages generally don't come out of data allowance. They cost per message. (Usually about 25p)
SMS are usually included in all tarrifs.
Therefore, if you send a SMS to 10 people, it's free. If you send an MMS it'll cost ?2.50
I made this mistake after getting the phone. Sent a text, didn't realise it had converted to MMS and it charged me.
So I changed the setting and it now just sends SMS.
I'm guessing in the US (where most on here are from I assume) MMS is just data, and very small, so MMS is fine. Generally in the UK nobody really uses MMS as it charges.
If you want to send a pic, email it.
If you want to have a group discussion of some kind, I generally just use Facebook Messenger. It's better anyway as it shows who's read it as it just as fast.

I have AT&T and stock 4.2.2 and have been able to send group MMS since I got my N4 in December. Could whether or not your stock messaging app displays the group option depend on whether or not you have the MMS settings configured in your APN settings? Can those who don't have the group option even receive 1 on 1 MMS messages like pictures or audio files?

In the Jelly Bean stock app in the settings there is an checkbox that says "Use MMS to send a single message when there are multiple recipients".
If you check this, it will use MMS. If you don't check this, it will send a bunch of individual SMS to each person on your contact list.
So, you don't need to use MMS to send to multiple people. You only need to use MMS if you expect them to see who the message was sent to and Reply All.
