Help SMS icon disappeared

[#1]

Hi everyone,

I don't know what i have done.. but all of a sudden my messaging icon disappeared from my home page and main manu.

everytime i try sending a text to someone from my contact list i get this message

You seem to be trying to send a WhatsApp message to a phone number that is not registered with WhatsApp.

Your account mudt have WhatsApp installed in order to chat to WhatsApp.

If this was done automatically, it is likely that WhatsApp is the default messaging app.

Press "SMS" to send a normal SMS to this contact, press "invite" to send an invitation, or press "Reset" to restore default messaging app setting.

i pressed SMS but the same message keep coming up over and over again. Also, i selected Reset but nothing happens.

i've reset my phone through "Factory data reset" but i still can't find the messaging icon.

and when i enter a number and select "Send text message"

i get the same message above and when i uninstalled WhatsApp i got this message:

unfortunately, the process com.sonyericsson.android.soci alphonebook has stoped

plzz help me

* I can't recieve any text messages

I think it'll be easier to do a settings reset as I think you've selected whatsapp as your default messaging app, or a factory reset, just keep in mind that either SUS or Factory reset will delete everything on your phone

backup your phone and do a factory reset, if that doesn't solve it then SUS should do it
