i received a text last night that had the power to turn off my phone when I receive it. I woke up this morning and I can't access my texting app. First I turned off my phone, it didnt work. Then I held both buttons and turned it off like that, and that didn't work either. And now I just reset all my settings in my phone and I still can not access my texting app. Do you know what could help with this?
