Need help! Messaging no longer works after upgrade to lollipop - Sony Xperia Z Ultra

The upgrade option came up late last night so I did it, I'm on Bell in Canada. After update was complete I can no longer text message. I only have the stock messaging software. If I try to start it all I get is a blank white screen with the messaging title at the top left. I tried downloading textra but it was stuck in setup forever so I uninstalled it.
I don't know or understand how to root, unlock, or flash, nor do I really have the time as I'm crazy busy at work. Does anyone have a solution? Texting is all I do on my phone, it's useless without this functionality. Please help!!!

Hi,
Did you solved the problem?
I had the same thing after the upgrade.
After installing some other SMS apps and few restarts, it started to work but all messages are lost.
I'm trying to find a way to recover them...

[Q] SMS Problem!

Ok so have really disturbing problem with a new SGS2. When i receive a txt message, i might get the same messages multiple times (record 17 times), and sometimes phone doesn't notify me about new message before i personally open the screen and start using the phone! Firmware causing this? Modem? Kernel?
I'd be really really happy to get help for this one!!
is it an imported device? sounds like your carriers settings are wrong. do you have the same problem with mms?

No it's not imported.. Bought from DNA (Finnish mobile operator), and carrier settings seems to be correct.. And as far as i've noticed same thing appears also with mms..
you'll might want to try to do a soft reset of the phone to the factory defaults to see if it helps? else if you can actually try to flash your phone with either the stock ROMs or custom ROMs.. hope this reslove your problems.
Ok now after i've tried every single thing, the device has been changed to new one. Possisble that modem component was broken and causing these problems.

Need Some Educated Guesses

So let me begin by saying the phone in question is a Kyocera Echo for Sprint. Yes, everyone hates it, yes we already know most believe it was a flop. But, I have one, it's been messed up for months and it's driving me nuts because I can't figure it out. I've been to three sprint stores and have talked to countless reps who have no idea. I thought I might be able to throw this out there and get some ideas from you guys on what you think it may be and possible solutions.
Long story short, on Froyo the phone works fine. If I attempt to upgrade, whether I revert to stock or remain rooted... all attempts of an ota fail with an error code. Usually the phone will still run, occasionally it'll boot loop. Now if I flash any version past Froyo, everything on the phone works fine except messaging. If I attempt to send a text message, it just says sending below it and stays that way like it's doing nothing. If someone sends me a text I never receive it.
I have flashed every variation of recovery and roms, stock or otherwise and it's a no go. It can't be a hardware issue because it works fine in Froyo. I've tried using alternate messaging apps.. handcent, gosms.. same thing, just sending.
I've flashed the hell out of this and am out of ideas. I don't know what goes on behind the scenes of the stock messaging app and how to tell what is causing it to hang. Is the Gingerbread messaging app identical to Froyo? Can I somehow pull the Froyo messaging and put it into a Gingerbread rom? Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

[Q] Cannot call

Hello everyone,
This is my first post on XDA. I have recently upgraded my SGS2 to a SGS3 (GT-I9300) and i seem to encounter the same problem i had on the old one. This time around i thought i should try to solve it.
The thing is that my phone sometimes does not start calls and i will explain that a bit. You into contacts for example, swipe from left to right on a contact to call, and it doesn't start the call, but i can't swipe again. If i give it 20 seconds or so.. no matter on what screen i am, the call will start suddenly.... You can see how this can get very frustrating.
Did anyone encounter this?
I am running on stock firmware, tried a few of them actually. Last night i've installed the latest firmware (I9300XXDLJ4) with multi CSC that had ORO in it's CSC list, thought that it might help. I will test today and write the results, but the thing is that i hate this firmware, even if it is jelly bean it is slower than the original ICS it had on it and i also hate the Orange branding.
Best regards,
Nosz

[SOLVED] Phone gets FC on incoming calls

Hey everybody.
My girlfriend is having a terrible problem with her new Xperia Go. It's running the latest Stock Firmware and Kernel without Root and every time she gets an incoming call, the phone won't react for about 15 seconds and then a FC Popup appears. This happens as soon she tries to answer the call. We rebooted it and it worked as it should after a fresh boot, but as soon she uses apps like Whatsapp, Facebook and so on, the problem persists and it's kinda of frustrating. A smartphone should be able to handle those things and she's really disappointed. Thinks I've tried:
-Clear data and cache of Contacts and Phone.
-Hard Reboot
-Recently installed the latest update via OTA (I hoped the problem would get fixed, but unfortunately it's still there)
-Tried using the stock launcher since she uses Nova Launcher
If someone has got an idea of what's going on please reply this post. I don't know if I should root her phone or maybe install a custom ROM. Honestly I wouldn't like to do that since she's a Noob in Android and basically in Technology Stuff. But if that's the solution, I would do that. It's really frustrating.
Thanks! Hope anybody could help
EDIT: SOLVED!
I tried to limit the background processes in developer settings and set the maximum to 4 processes and it magically solved the problem!
