HELP! I am having trouble with text messaging and sending pictures

[kimb681a2b]

I have had the handcent app for a very long time and I have never had any issues with it.  Today I downloaded an up date and it is running VERY SLOW and also will not allow me to send pics. It just kicks me out to my home screen.  I have tried uninstalling the app and reinstalling it which did not help.  I have tried uninstalling it and just using the standard messaging and it just keeps trying to load the screen to text.  I have tried restarting the phone and turning it off for a few minutes.  My notifications are not running correctly either.  The text pops up then the sound come a minute or two later.  Anyone have any ideas on what to do to resolve this issue or experiencing the same thing?

Thanks in advance!

From your description it sounds like you have something hogging up all your systems resources... Try downloading System Panel and activate the monitoring option under the settings and allow it to run and see if it shows any apparently that was using extremely high resources and then try to close it or you can try using a Task Killer for a minute and close. all unused Apps and see if problem continue.

Also you could boot into Safe Mode and see what happens.. Instruction at http://support.verizonwireless.com/clc/devices/knowledge_base.html?id=42081
