Guys I need help!
I'm trying to help a family member out with their Galaxy Ace, all of his txt msg have disappeared from the phone.
We have tried downloading everything from the simcard using sim manager, but no txt messages are there.
I am presuming that the ace stores txt to internal storage? Any idea where?
Do you have any idea how I cant recover his text msg for him? There are some important txts and he hasn't backed up.
Thanks guys.
No the ace stores it to SD card...
Atleast mine are..
Thanks.
Any idea where on the sd they are stored? File format etc?
Anyone know of any software to read them or recover?
if the messages have disappeared mostly they have been deleted and thus you cant find them on your phone..
that's the thing tho, they haven't been deleted by the user...they just disappeared.

Install this: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS56ZWdvZ2dsZXMuc21zc3luYyJd
Set it to back up your SMS to your Gmail, like I did. Backs up any SMS as soon as its received or sent. Works wonders.
Yeah so they might have been deleted..what did you do on the Ace?
ummm i think i saw on stock android messaging an option to delete old message automatically, and its activated by default. maybe thats what causing this case of sudden sms disappear.
Think we found the problem guys, sd card has died and is only semi readable.
I have software for data recovery, and its just flagged it up.
Doh!
Thanks for your help guys.

yup there is an option but it doesnt delete all messages you can set a limit like after 100 or 500 or whatever limit u choose the older messages start getting deleted but only till the messages are within the limit again..

Every time I reset my phone when it restarts, it tells me i have a new text message even though there is no message in my text inbox. anyone come across this before?
yes, i know this problem, and never got it solved >.< after a time it was away.. xD
what helped in my case was switching SMS view to traditional, then while scrolling through the inbox I've found one supposedly unread message at the very end of the list, after opening it marker disappeared
how to change to traditional view and back >.<
I have deleted all my messages. if i receive a sms then delete it, it clears, but if i reset it comes back.

page 146 of manual: "To manage text and multimedia messages by folders
If you want to use the conventional way of managing your messages by folders, tap Menu > Settings > Traditional Mode on the All Messages screen. The Inbox folder is then displayed, listing separate text and multimedia messages instead of threading."
another possible solution could be using PIM Backup to backup all text messages, deleting all manually and restore back - I did not try it, as the method above helped in my case
If you had another phone with a SIM and moved the SIM to your HD2 you may find there is a text message on the SIM. The HD2 can't delete from the SIM so you need to put the SIM back in a "dumb" phone and delete it there.

Hi Guys, I have few messages in my inbox that are blank and shows its from 31-Dec-1969. It shows up in both Chomp and android message inbox. I cant delete them in either programs. I have no cache to clear in either and I tried clearing data. Anyone have this or know of a fix? Thanks!

Back in 1969, they weren't sending too many SMS's around, so SMS functionality was pretty unrefined, and didn't have the delete option.
Ok, sorry. that wasn't very helpful.

Equally as helpful...
I tore all my 1969 messages up and burned them.
You tried wiping data using Titanium Backup?
Assuming you have a rooted X10?
yup, tried that.. I have like 7 messages now. All blank and from 31-Dec 1969 and from different people that Ive deleted messages.
Ok so the closest thing I got to your error was when I was using 2.2 with mms settings as Android.
When a png file was being sent I would recieve a blank text with a timestamp.
Saying that though I could do a long press on the thread and delete the thread.
They aint old emails that you deleted from your email server are they?
Saw somewhere that you delete you gmail contacts from your phone then resync from gmail via the gmail web page.
Might be barking up the completely wrong tree though. Sorry!
yeah, Ive read about those phantom emails as well.. non of those fixes work for the messages.
try a repair with SEUS or flash tool and they will be gone i think
I am trying to avoid flashing the firmware... that will be my last option.
I started having this problem just a couple days ago, not sure what started it but I ended up with four threads dated 1969 that I couldn't delete. I read through various forums which suggested a number of fixes but nothing worked.
I did mange to fix it myself though, or at least it's fixed for now. I did this about an hour ago and have rx/tx about 50 SMS since then with no return of the bug.
Download SMS Backup & Restore and back up your messages if you want to keep any of them, this fix will wipe EVERYTHING from the messaging app.
From the Messaging app thread list, press Menu and select Delete Threads. It will ask you to confirm that you want to delete all threads. Say "yes" obviously and bye bye stuck threads from 1969. Of course, bye bye to all the other threads too but that's why you made a backup. From SMS B&R, restore your messages and you should get everything back, minus the 1969 threads.
Your mileage may vary on this one so try it at your own risk. Don't complain to me when you delete that thread with the hottie from the bar the other night. You know, the one with all the pictures she sent you?
i think it maybe happened cuz u took the car from Back to the Future... and while u recieved an sms u were warping back to history. which made this impossible to have and been stuck...
now this how you fix it, go back to the time u warped with the car and stop urselve! else you will mess up much more, u are not allowed to change the past mate.... u mess up the future......
@Coffeedragon, thanks a lot for the tip. It worked. I had originally going to try something like that but I figure the back up would of backed up the blank as well.
oh no...
So I just tried this fix... (Back up messages/settings with Titanium; select all messages and delete) But now ALL my messages are turned into ghosts!!! Also, something many people haven't pointed out yet:
In the stock app, they are ghost messages. In chompSMS, they appear to be changed from SMS to ghost MMS upon deletion.
HTC Inspire 4G
MIUI.us 1.11.18
stock/chompSMS
Got this resolved with some help at the miui.us chat.
1. backed up messages and settings (using MIUI backup, as it was suggested that Titanium is not always great.)
2. Renamed (could delete) mmssms.db
3. rebooted
4. restored messages and settings via miui backup
perfect.

Hi Im having a lot of problems with my text messages and contacts. I get the notification that I got the text message but when I open it is not there. And when I text somebody the message is not showing in the thread. Also on text messages when i press compose and type the name of a person I know I have it will not show any results. I have to close it and try and always on the 3 try it shows.
And with my contacts , whenever I try opening "people" it takes forever to load , and sometimes it doesnt even load.
My phone is bone stock. not rooted or anything. This where some of the issues I was having with my rooted EVO 4G when it was rooted and was running cyanogen mod 10 thats what was keeping me from installing a rom. But is pissing me off. i cant answer my phone at work so i text everybody A LOT. So its annoying. is there a fix for this. Its stock so I dont get it. I have done the updates , I havent deleted anything or stop updates on anything. WTF!!
can anyone help me with this.
Do u have your contacts backed up thru a gmail account or in phone memory? I remember that happening once or twice where people wouldn't show up when I searched. Was also when I first got phone unrooted and completely stock.
Can u open text message app and compose from there? Searching people for me is too many steps.
Do u have a lot of resources being used on your phone? Can't think of much else that would help u being unrooted other than to reset phone to clear your caches. Maybe delete some texts u don't need anymore? That will speed up the text loading.

How do I reset the phone , what exactly will it erase. Now is happening with all my notifications like email and ebay notifications. I receive the notifications but my inbox is empty and I refresh and theres nothing there
Hold down power until the lights start blinking for a simulated battery pull is what I'm saying. U can try to factory reset. U will have to call sprint and ask them for your msl number for a factory reset. There u will have to dial a ## number, I forget what the exact numbers are. Ask the sprint tech when u get msl.
But it could be something simpler and I really think the answer is in your settings somewhere. Are u forwarding your messages by chance? Are they deleting after u view them by option? Idk man. I'd have to see it in action and mess with it myself.
I have the contacts issue too. Usually means no caller id loads or I can't pull up my contacts list. Usually get an error msg about acore not responding as well. I don't know what can be done about it.

Uninstall and then reinstall whatsapp again. During first setup U will be asked to restore your messages.
BTW: wrong forum to ask such things.

Allready tried this: http://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/android/20887921 ?
Read "Restoring older (less recent) backups".
Reinstall the application and use backup. In another way you may use WhatsAppOnlineBackup.

I know this is an android forum but im hoping someone can help with a problem I have with a motorola krzr.
The phone had lots of stored text messages, and I removed the sim and temporarily put a new one in to copy contacts to, then put the old one back in.
Now all the sent and recieved text messages have dissapeared. Im not sure how this happened as I didnt do anything to delete them.
Is there a way I can get them back?
