This last update was evidently not a good thing. I haven't had a problem receiving texts so far, but picture texts I send only go though about half the time; the vibration feature on ring/text is virtually non-existent now, as is the LED light for incoming or missed calls, and it messed up my Facebook too.  At this point not sure if I will ever do another update!!

Ok got in touch with Live Chat and fixed it. Go to app manager and open messaging there. Clear cache, data then force stop. That fixed it! But when I opened messaging I could only read messages couldn't reply. At the top of the screen was a message asking to set default either as Google hangouts or SMS. once you set the default messaging should be fully functional. Hope it helps.

But one more thing I couldn't open messaging even in app manager so I click on recent apps and press the messaging app until the option  "remove from list/App info" appeared and selected app info to open the screen to clear the data, cache, and force stop. I am not tech savvy but I can muddle my way if given enough info! Hope this helps.
