single phone number lost in contacts - HTC Amaze 4G

So out of curiosity, let's say I had received a text message from a new contact, and then S-OFF -> installed a custom rom, would you say that my contact is completely lost or would there be a possible way to get it back from the full phone backup I made prior to unlocking? Anybody knows a good hypnotist? Maybe I'll magically remember the digits
Dating + technology = lol

How about doing it the smart way and writing the number down. Then just use sms backup plus to save the messages. You can also just save them as a Google Contact and sync your phone so you'll get the contact saved. Perhaps you might want to do all 3.
Press my thanks if that helps. :thumbup:

I was sort of hoping google contact would've saved it, but I guess I played with my phone too quickly after receiving that text message and the sync did not happen.
Lesson learned! (or maybe the NSA kept a copy for me? lol)

Log into your carrier account (my-tmobile, etc) to see the numbers you've texted. You can write it down from there.

[Q] People recovering my deleted texts!

So I decided to sleep over at my girlfriends the other day and woke up to her yelling at Me. The then got mad at me for testing other girls that were just my friends ( I know, It's kind of ridiculous). Anyways the strange part is I had deleted the messages and then she told me she knows how to view deleted messages. So I've been looking around online for a while now and I haven't heard of any way to view messages when they are deleted. Oh by the way she isn't very tech savvy. So any ideas how she is viewing messages that I have deleted? Also I'm using handcent, but the messages are not on the stock messaging app.
Any chance she installed some kind of app on your phone another time that keeps your texts and email in memory seperately. Oh yeah and find a new girlfriend, even though she was right she shouldn't be invading your privacy that much.
Pimpin ain't easy. In the meantime, you should keep a screen lock on it.

Mm it will be hard to tell with Android , anyways , some people is having problems erasing sms because they come back up in the device(I think is HTC sense.com ) but.you should just lock the screen, and if she ask you why you locked it , well tell her that you want to make sure if you loose it don't want anyone messing with it ha ha

She quoted the conversation almost perfectly ha... So either she has it sent to her phone VIA some spyware app that i haven't noticed, or she found a way to outsmart half the world and bring texts back from the dead... Ha any ideas guys? I don't like the idea that someone can read my deleted messages.
Time for a factory reset/wipe (get rid of any hidden software) and a lock code...

Ya maybe. It would be nice to know how she did it. Plus Idk how she will react to lock codes. I guess we will see.
From the msg list screen in handcent hit the menu button. Then select more. Hit delivery report. This shows all sent msgs but not received. Not sure if that is what she was looking out. from the report if you hit menu you can clear the log.
Freak I think that was it! Sweet! is there something like that on the stock messaging app or just handcent? Thanks a ton!
There are ways to recover erased text messages.
Most likely, you have a sms logger, something like smsbox.
As a side note, I would get rid of someone spying on me. Trust is a major part of a relationship, spying shows no trust, which dooms any future.
Make sure the sms/mms forward feature is disabled. Maby she set it up to forward your messages to her email or phone. (Messaging, Menu, Settings, Forward To...)

get this app
The hidden message app. Been using it a while .. makes cheating a breeze ! It looks like a stupid stoner app. But really hides all messages and calls to a privite folder that u need a pw to get at !!
If you have Google Voice integration the Google Voice app holds a longer history.
Maybe you're really trying to get us to help you recover her deleted messages. Judy kidding. Maybe she's using Dexrex

Question about Contacts?

I have about roughly 30 contacts in my phone (mobile numbers) and whenever i go to send a text, (press the messages app, then the plus sign) i normally type my contacts via keyboard and id get suggestions as a dropdownon my old phone (Galaxy S 4G). however I cant on this. Id have to press the "+" sign in order to access my contacts. is there a way that i can just type in my contacts in the "To:" area in messaging? I dont think this is related to the software setup, i just think its how the phone was made or something like that.
I use handscent and it does that

Your problem reminds me of another one that just recently showed up.
I used to be able to just type "mom' and get my mom's number to show for messaging even though I have her saved as *mom.
Now I have to type the *and then mom to get her to show up.
I didn't have to do this before and I think it has something to do with my Tmobile Contacts Backup syncing.
Before it synced I could just type m-o-m.
Anyway. Sorry I was of no help I was just trying to complain too. Lol.

But ithe requested is working as default setup..
That's odd because my stock app has the dropdown that shows names and numbers as I type. I have handcent installed also, which is what I mainly use.
It works perfectly fine for me. I go on the messages app, click the "pencil" on the top-right corner, write a name in the to box and it gives me suggestions. Are you running the stock rom?

I know when you're managing people (groups and favorites) you will not see any contacts that are stored on the SIM.

[Q] Where can I find my old sms on GT-i9300

I got my GT-i9300 yesterday, and since then I am playing along with it. The very first issue, I find was, I couldnt locate my sms that comes to the phone. It can only shown me the current messages, but doesnt allow me to see any past conversation.
Neither did it show me any inbox/sent items things.. I know this is a very silly thing, but any help would be great.
WHAT??
you want to find OLD sms messages....when the device is a DAY old?
there is no SENT/Received box....ITS NOT EMAIL. open the the messages app ( bottom of home page )and select the thread of the contact you want to view, Simple as that.
if you were reffering to something else.....i completely missed it and dont really see how you can LOSE messages/Not find them.
SMS are stored on the phone, any SMS u got before u switched to your new phone will only be available on your old phone.

SMALL TRICK FOR HIDING "last seen" on WhatsApp.

Hey Friendz can we really hide "last seen" on WhatsApp..??
.
.
.
Yes there is a small trick, which i found out yesterday..
For me i have a samsung galaxy 5 and no internet on my phone(but it also works on phone data plan) i use Wifi, the trick is for me to have wifi on so i can recieve messages and once i do, i just turn off my wifi and then open the whatsapp message. after that you can even type a reply if you want send it, close whatsapp completly and start your wifi again. it wel then send the message but you wont have come online, my friends still think its freaky that i was last online 3 days ago while im still talking to them the only downside is that you yourself then cant see when someone else was last online cause to get that information you need to be in the message and online. hope this helps.

thanks! It's much better than the previous method!
But it would be better if it can automatically connect whatsapp again when I return to homescreen, so that msg can be sent and last seen can be hid as well!:fingers-crossed:

yes that you can just take another phone add a contact that you want to see and you can spy their status without being seen! I'm surprised you didn't figure this out obviously you can do many tricks for this. one is saving multiple data profiles for whatsapp and it requires root
another way for anyone, stock unrooted phone, is installing and uninstalling or clear data, change sim etc etc

you need to use titanium backup, make a backup of whatsapp. Then delete whatsapp data and create a new account with a new phone number.
You might need to move the old backup from /sdcard/TitaniumBackup saved as .tar.gz to some other folder and then you can swap whenever you need to change profile.
I hope you can understand what I mean!
maybe I'll try it
thanks! It's much better than the previous method!

Incoming calls have +1 on numbers? Acts as intentional number?

Running beans rom and when I get a call it always shows a+1 then the number and the phone thinks it ab international number so I have to remove it to make the call. Any way around this? I'm willing to change roms if someone can confirm a different rom doesn't do this.
Thanks a bunch

I'm on Beans as well. I never noticed it, but it looks like mine is the same way, it has appended a "1" to all my contacts. I rarely make calls, and when I do I almost never use contacts db, but I can see how this would be annoying. My incomming call log does however show the numbers correctly. Honestly I would not even be willing to say it's Beans that has done this. It has been so long since I used the contacts dialer, that my contacts could have been appended and backed up and restored by google who knows when.
Later,
Jason
**Edit** I take it back, I looked through more of them, and it seems random as to whether they have the 1, and if you truly mean +1 as you said in the original post, I dont see that showing up anywhere, in my contacts or call log. GL
I know what you mean mine has done that I just edit and delete the one then save so it annoying but deal -able ya know
