Have you tried a 3rd party text messaging app? Textra, Yaata, QKSMS, etc? Stock messaging apps usually suck anyway. Might be a nice upgrade. If you can't access your messages with another app, then something is seriously messed up if it's failing after a factory reset as well. If so, might want to see if there are any custom rom options or maybe a new update from the manufacturer (or an older one if you have the newest).
will definetly try the 3rd party text messaging apps because when i use apps like facebook & whatsap i can type and read messages .

If you prefer the stock messaging app, then try downloading the stock rom and the extract the apk from it. Copy the apk to your phone. Then go to system/app on your phone via root explorer. Overwrite the orignal apk with the copied apk and change it permissions to rw- r– r–.
Hit thanks if i helped you!

So when I was on stock, periodically my stock Moto sms app would say "phone storage full, delete some files to make room" and not show any messages. Sometimes I would have to reboot, clear a lot of cache or something, force close the app, etc. etc. to get it to work. And then I started using GoSMS and when it happened, Go would just not show any messages, and without any error messages. Then I go into stock and try to fix.
Now on GingerBlur, with the stock messaging app, sometimes it does the same thing, but it has way more problems...Messages randomly won't send in Go, and I open the gingerbread stock app and it continuously force closes. I HAVE to reboot in these circumstances, which is very frustrating. It basically just crashes in a ton of different ways, and no amount of cache clearing or force closing or anything will fix, so I'm forced to reboot like 3 times a day to fix this. It happens randomly. I'll be texting someone, no problems.. Then I'll just get another text from them at some point in the conversation and when I open like normal it'll just crash (stock AND GoSMS). This is a really frustrating problem, does anyone know what the deal is? Perhaps this phone isn't meant to have the Gingerbread stock messaging app?
Then again, i still had problems on Motoblur with the Moto app...
Whenever I receive a text, it FC's. Also, some of the messages arent even received. Not to mention, within the app It says messages are unread even though they have been. Ive updated everything. Device is not rooted, so I cant use Rom Manager to fix permissions. How can I resolve this?

Factory Reset is your best bet, then update your phone if you want and root that thing!
All is well. I deleted all of the text, and everything is fine now. Thanks.
I have a rooted SGS2 running Siyah 2.3 and Touch X-Power, with LauncherPro. I have the stock messaging app. When I receive texts from certain people in my contacts list, I get a notification but when I open the text to read it, I'm taken straight to the message create screen and can't read the text. No matter which way I try to enter the messaging app, I can't open the text or any previous ones that I've received from them.
This also happens if I have Handscent running, the message is accepted by the stock app but not Handscent... It's driving me mad.
Any ideas? Can I remove the stock app so that it isn't there at all and use something else like Handscent as the default?
If the app doesn't force close then it sounds like its a problem with either what you are doing or something other than the app.
But yea, you can remove the app and just use handcent if you really want to. Get Root Explorer from the market if you haven't already (its like £2 or something). Then navigate to system > apps > you will see a whole bunch of apks. Find MMS.apk and delete it.
Hope that helps.
Did you mess around with the settings?
Hi All,
I'm new here, clearly. I did a fair amount of searching (albeit I may have overlooked the one thread to answer my question), but I need some help. I'm not familiar with the dev side of phones, nor am I very educated by any means.
I recently somehow deleted all of my texts on my vwz galaxy s4 32gb blackmist. I can see that when I open a contact and view the history - the text messages still exist there. I tried the Dr. Fone app by wondershare (and paid for it). Didn't work. I just rooted my phone to see if that would help, and while successful in the rooting, still have found that I can not revive my dead texts.
Any help would be sincerely appreciated.
Much thanks,
Matt
I too have deleted text messages from my phone when clean flashing ROMs. To restore, download the Verizon Messaging app from the Play Store. Set is as your default messaging app, and refresh the messages. Then open your regular messaging app and it should update with the old text messages.
After this you can uninstall the Verizon app. I use Hangouts for text messaging and for me it's a 3 step process: run Verzion meesaging, then load the standard Messaging apk, and then finally run Hangouts.
Good Luck!

Thanks so much for the advice; I did download the vzw messaging app and set it as default. I don't see a "refresh" for this app - but have toyed around and think I've tried everything to no avail.
I'm trying my best here to not sound like an idiot - but I'm not sure how to 'refresh.' I still do see quite a bit of messages in the history of each contact.
Do i need to go into settings to make default app or simply just set it when it asks?
Any more advice?
Thanks again.
That app seems to imply that it only lets you restore messages that have been synced with Verizon in the last 90 days. That makes more sense. I didn't think they kept a user-accessible log of all SMS messages (could be wrong).
On my Galaxy S5, running Android 6.0.1., when I try to send a text message to a number that does not have a saved conversation, the app I'm using always crashes, gives me an error, or does nothing instead of sending the message. The built in Messages app and Facebook's Messenger app both crash, while Google Messages gives me an error saying it couldn't create the conversation, and Go SMS Pro seems to work at first, but actually does nothing.
I've also deleted caches/data and removed old texts/conversations, and nothing seems to work.
This is clearly not a problem with one app, but rather something larger at play. What could possibly be causing this?
Sounds like something corrupted your SMS data base and it will take a wipe to fix it. Go SMS pro is the normal cause for corruption. It's a male are ridden app that users here stopped using years ago.
Darn, is there any other way to fix something like that? I use my phone for work, so I don't really want to wipe it and spend a bunch of time updating/reinstalling.
Go SMS Pro was just a last attempt to try any other SMS app, rather than one I've had, so it's probably not the culprit.
If you had root you could try to wipe the data base file.
Give textra a try. They use their own separate SMS data base. So that might help.
Other then that you might spend an evening backing up and flashing a stock clean build.
