Android 6.0.1 'Message Service' crash on boot - S7 Edge
The issue was fixed. By running an adb logcat connection (adb logcat -f "storage/emulated/0/Logcat.txt") with my phone attached to my computer, I was able to log the output from the console when the application crashed. To produce the errors, I ran the Messages application. The output from the application can be found here. To solve the issue, I navigated to the mmssms.db file (look here for how to find it) and renamed the file to mmssms_old.db, essentially deleting it. I then rebooted the device and ran the application - it worked! Bear in mind all messages will be deleted, which is why I only renamed the database not deleted it entirely.
