[AC Question]

I need help getting my messaging to quit during a text. It just says messaging has stopped and when you hit ok your text is gone.

Hello. Do you have a lot of stored sms. You can backup to your Gmail account using SMS Backup+.
Try clearing cache on the Message app in Settings - Apps/Applications Manager - All. You can also clear data if you are willing to clear sms with/without backing up.
If not, try wiping cache in Recovery Mode. Method varies per device.
