Group texting (and other texting annoyance)

[CovertPen]

I recently purchased a Sony Xperia z1s and have been loving almost everything about it. There are however 2 points which annoy me.

1. Is it just me, or does the stock messaging app leave alot to be desired? I hate how it always shrinks the keyboard after i send a text, and how that "sending message" plays across the whole screen after you send a message. Maybe I'm just used to my galaxy S3, but is there anyway to eliminate those events without using another messaging app?

2. In the same line of texting, is there any way with the stock texting app, to hold group conversations with buddies who use iphones? again, i was able to do this on the Galaxy s3, but it seems like i cant on the stock app, or am i missing something.

Thanks for the input!

Regarding your second question, I think the answer is no. I'm using GoSMS and group is working fine, but no-joy on trying to do so w/ the stock app.
