ok, so after i made this post i went to sleep, and when i woke up it worked. i think it was just a glitch, i have my phone set to reboot once daily after i stop using it. basically it was just a software malfunction that the phone worked out on its own. so i guess if you get this error just restart your device, and hope for the best. anyway, thanks for the replies, and whatnot.
ps if you haven't checked it out, look up sidesync in the samsung store. now all of my texting apps that can only be accessed on my phone can be viewed on my desktop. oh technology, oh samsung i love ye old soul.
