About a week ago, I started getting "Unfortunately, Messaging not working" error message. I cannot send or receive messages, or even open the app. When I attempt to open it, I get the "Messaging" banner at the top of the screen, which displays for 15 seconds, then the screen goes blank for about five seconds, then it goes back to home and I get the error message listed above.
I also have other native apps that I get this error message on intermittently. Upgraded about three weeks ago to 5.0.1 version.
Have cleared Messaging app cache & data, disabled app, rebooted and reenabled app. No go. Have cleared device cache. No go. Have tried in safe mode. No go. Have pulled battery & SIM card, waited five minutes, reinstalled & restarted. No go.
I need Messaging, as this is the primary way I communicate with family & long term friends. Please help!
Tried running Software Repair Assistant. It would not establish a stable connection. Tried all USB ports on my laptop, which operate fine with anything else that I plug into them. No go. Opened support chat, and the person assisting me said that USB connection stability is a known issue.
Next idea?
Tried running Repair Assistant again this morning. It hung up at status "Backing Up-4%" for over a half hour. Uninstalled and reinstalled it on my laptop. No go, hung up at the same place again. And yes, I am using the USB cable that came with the phone.
Something obviously is broken with either Repair Assistant, or my Repair Assistant.
I need more options please.
