    Hi just tried to send a text on the above phone
    But it just keeps locking up and a message appears saying messaging has stopped.
    Does anyone have a solution

    Turn it off remove SIM card and put it back together. That used to sort mine.

    I had to reset mine in the settings menu once.

    what are you using for text msg? I use GO SMS pro

    what version of software are you using?

    You might get some clues from logcat.

    Install adb from the Android SDK. Then do ‘adb logcat’. Look for a bunch of error messages when you try to send a text. Put the error messages into Google and see what comes back.

    Or just reset to factory defaults.

    +1 Check for the latest firmware and install any updates available.

    I think I’ve seen that ‘messaging has stopped’ on a Sony Android phone before, I believe it was a corrupt text database causing it. Factory resetting your phone will fix it, but will also wipe everything on it.

    As others have said, installing a new SMS app, such as Textra or Go SMS may also get round the problem.
