unfortunately messaging has stopped

[Nedane]

Dear friends,

I uptodated my Xperia S to android 4.1.2

Howver, since then, my messaging has stopped working. & so does my email.

All the time I get this message on my screen: "Unfortunately, messaging has stopped. Ok."

And I can only check ok & nothing more.

Will you please help me?

Appreciate your care,

Neda

How do I solve this problem on my Xperia L C2104 with a Mac running 0S 10.6.8?  Thank you.

You could try going to Settings - Apps - All and look for Messaging and open it then tap on Clear data, Now try to open your messages and if that fails then you may need to perform a Settings reset via Settings - Backup and reset then tap on Settings reset NOT Factory data reset

Thanks, Thommo.  The first option did not bring about any change, and as far as the second option goes, when I go to settings --> Backup & reset, my only options are 

•Back up my data

•Backup account (grey'd out)

•Automatic restore (grey'd out)

•Factory Data reset

Advice?

Thanks!

If you want to back up your messages and contacts,use myphone explorer.

I downloaded textbot from the playstore.   All messages were transferred and it works great
