Messages app is not sending alerts in ios 8 is also hanging and crashing very glitchy

Updated to ios 8 yesterday and noticed that messages were appearing in my messaging app, but no chime or alert badge was appearing.  yes i did check do not disturb, it was off, the sound was on and alerts were also turned on.
i've also noticed the messages app is crashing about 50% of the time and is hanging every time i use it.  i'm going to backup and restore now.  wish me luck.
anyone else having problems?

This was the final step in a series of attempts and it finally worked for me... finally after an hour or two of reading every post I could find on getting repeat alert notifications. I closed the app (double clicking home and pressing the red circle with the white line in it which  turned off the messages app).  Then I held the home and off button until the apple came on...  I had also reset the DNS service numbers to 8.8.8.8,8.8.4.4:  I also made sure that the badge icon was on, a sound was selected and I had it turned to repeat alert 3 times.  When I tested after doing all these things the repeat worked.  I decided I wanted to turn it to repeat 10 times and it didn't work.... so I held the home and off button at the same time and it reset so that the alert repeats 10 times.  Perhaps the combination of all these these things did the trick, or maybe it was just the home and off button reset...
