vx6800 locking up in SMS

My vx6800 just started locking up when using SMS . This is after 4 months of flawless operation, now every time I txt someone it locks up the phone I can't get out of sms or do anything until I pull the battery. Any ideas what might be causing this . Nothing has been changed on my phone in 2 months and this just started a week ago.
jsut asking,but have you cleared out your old messages lately? just a thought....
Deleted all but 3 or 4 . I tried that first but it didn't help at all . I start typing a message and after a few words it hangs.
Nobody else have this problem?
It looks like there is a text message that is hung up trying to send or something . I just got a message wanting to know if i wanted try and resend a message from a couple weeks ago, and before I thought I said yes. Any idea where to look for this message to delete it out and see if this solves the problem.

[Q] SMS Delays - Bounces Back to Carrier

I have a Nexus 4 on KitKat 4.4.4 stock with Gravity Box.
This problem has always occurred once in a while (maybe once every two weeks), recently it's been happening a lot more often.
Sometimes I am expecting text messages and they don't come in until 2 hours up to 2 days after they are sent by other people to me. This is a big problem as sometimes there are important texts that are time sensitive.
I called Virgin Mobile and asked tech support, and after checking the system, they verified that there were texts that the carrier received, tried to send to my phone, but got bounced from my phone so they were stored with the carrier until my phone would receive again.
I've tried factory reset, used another Nexus 4 for a while (restored from backup), used a different ROM, and tried everything. Any idea?

Text Messages (SMS) won't send until reboot

Recently, my Galaxy S5 will refuse to send a SMS unless I reboot the phone, this happens at least once/twice a day.
The text message will constantly display the round spinning sending icon, then a notification will say text failed to send (resending doesn't work)
S5 is on Three, not rooted - Three sent a SMS to me a few weeks ago addressing this issue and that simply updating the phone would resolve it... except my phone was already up to date.
Is this an issue with my phone or should I contact Three about this? - (try and demand an early upgrade with 8 months left lol)
Many thanks

[HELP] Group messaging (MMS) issues

I want to start off by saying I have 1 or 2 group messages that go on throughout the whole day, every day. When I first got the Verizon S7 edge, I had zero issues for the first three days. All of the sudden, at least once a day, there is an issue receiving and sending group messages. I can't link it to anything specific besides it happening most when the group chat is most active. 11 people in the chat are sending multiple messages at a time and then I'll send a message at the same time and i realize mine is not sending and then I stop receiving everyone else's messages. If I go to the individual participants chat in my texting app, there will be a bunch of messages that are downloading. This has happened to me in the past with other phones, but its usually linked to having bad service at a certain time and simply turning mobile data on and off will fix the issue. I cant link it to anything this time, it happens randomly. It doesn't matter where I am, if I have 1 bar or 4 bars, if wifi is on/off, bluetooth is on/off. The messages eventually start coming in, but I dont know what causes that to happen either. I could restart the phone 4 times before it helps. The only thing I can say is it happens most often when the group chat is most active. I'll also mention that this wasn't an issue in the first 3-5 days of using the phone. Below are the steps I've already taken to try and resolve the issue.
1. Wifi on/off
2. Mobile data on/off
3. Restarting the phone
4. Tried 4 different texting apps - Hangouts, google messenger, samsung messenger, verizon messenger
5. Factory reset
6. New SIM card
7. Swapped the phone out for a brand new one. Issue started again with the new one after 3-5 days.
8. Enabled every app that was disabled
9. Activated/deactivated advanced calling
10. Called Verizon tech support - We replicated the issue and thought it was due to "delete old messages" being turned on in the settings. Tech support thought the phone was trying to delete old messages at the same time I was receiving a bunch of texts and everything would get stuck. Everything seemed fine after changing that, but it happened again a few hours later.
11. I've run out of options
I had the Note 5 before this and had zero issues with that phone and I've never had an Iphone.
Please help
