To Drosefw & others... I spoke to Verizon today, no projected fix to standard Android messaging app. I downloaded Verizon Messages (I think it's called messages + in the Play Store), and it seems to be working fine. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS FROM drosefw & you will be fine. All of my conversations loaded and I didn't lose a thing in translation--even the emogis all stayed put... they look a bit different, but are fine.

I have downloaded it and it seems to work fine. Please notify me when there

is a fix for the stock messaging app.

Thanks, Garrett

Mine just started today. I've cleared cache, forced stopped, reset phone, no fix. I have also cleared more than half of my messages including locked messages that I've wanted to save, no fix. I have removed any app that I've downloaded within the last month, no fix. Verizon, this phone is a replacement phone, my last phone was a replacement phone, the phones before that were also replacement phones. I'm sick of all these products failing on me. I can buy a car for what I'm paying you guys for unreliable phones and service. Get your act together. I waited on hold for over a half an hour today trying to get ahold of costumer service or tech. This was after other dropped calls or accidental disconnects navigating through your automated service. This is completely unacceptable. Do better! Why are we paying for more for Verizon than others and getting less than other? YOU ARE NOT MAINTAINING AN ACCEPTABLE STANDARD! DO BETTER! Happy 4th everybody!! I would send you guys some fireworks pictures from New Orleans but my new phone is (removed)!
