Why isn't my Droid Mini receiving text messages?

Droid Mini not receiving test messages

I have missed many important texts, have tried clearing cache, deleting all texts, did system update and still sometimes get "unfortunately messaging has stopped" message and find that I still have missed texts from others both on my provider and with other providers. I have read that doing a factory reboot does not fix the problem so I have not done this. Please tell me how to fix this problem. thanks.

Re: Droid Mini not receiving test messages

Welcome to Android Central! Try booting into Safe Mode, which temporarily disables all 3rd party apps. https://motorola-global-portal.custhelp.com/app/answers/prod_answer_detail/a_id/95562/p/30,6720,8881

If the problem disappears in Safe Mode, then something you installed is causing the problem. You may have to uninstall apps one by one until the problem disappears. If the problem persists in Safe Mode, then it's more likely to be a hardware or firmware problem.
