I have many Lolipop problems, including my SMS crashing at startup!

AC Question

I updated to Lilipop 5.0.2 today, and the first thing that I noticed was the SMS app wasn't working. It trashed my personalization settings during the update, which wasn't hard to fix.
The biggest problems:
My battery life is reduced to two-four hours.
My SMS app is not working! I have tried Textra, which doesn't completely install, the default, and a green icon "messaging" app, which demanded to be the default SMS app before sending a message, and every time I try to compose and send a message it crashes.
It overheats, which I comprehend as a symptom of whatever is using up my battery.
I can't receive any messages now, which is all that I use my phone for aside from wifi access.

Welcome to AC.

In the first instance, try a Cache Partition wipe, good practice after a system update.
If no good, please consider joining as a member so that you can continue posting right here in this thread. We'll then try to offer further suggestions.
