Its a problem that no one seems to have a real solution for. I tried the clear cache and factory reset and took my phone to Verizon. They sent me a new one and it does the same thing. If I force close and clear cache it starts saying " unfortunitely messaging has stopped " within a few seconds after trying to text. I haven't added any new apps to the phone and I updated the existing apps on the new phone. I'm NOT using a 3rd party texting app. I called Verizon again 2 days ago and all they could tell me was a new update may be released at end of June. I'm about to pay my early termination and go back to AT&T . At least their customer service was honest and gave discounts on your bill or accessories for they're failure to provide a reliable service. Doesn't matter if its Motorola of Verizon. Someone needs to make this HUGE burden up to us to get our trust back.
As previously mentioned, this is a Google/Motorola issue. Why is Verizon being held responsible? Do you hold your cable provider responsible for your TV not powering on? Text messaging is free. It's a free service, but you want something in exchange because of a temporary failure. Ridiculous.
They have been honest throughout the entire issue. They have told you they are aware of an issue, and given an ETA for a fix.

Is there a new date for the update yet. My phone appears to not have received an update- despite the initial hope that it would push at the end of June. While there is a work around available, I would prefer to stop using a third party app and get back to the stock vzw texting app...Verizon Wireless Customer Support
