Possible to recover deleted sms??

I very stupidly and accidently deleted a text and I need it back!

There's no way to do it, as far as I know. From now on you should back up your text messages using SMS Backup +. It synchronizes to a Gmail label.
Dam had a feeling there wasn't a way... Yeah I saw this sms back up apps when it was too late haha

If you didn't backup your text messages on Phone previously, then it might be tough to recover. I would give the free trial of Dr.Fone for Android a shot to see if you can recover the deleted text messages. Hope that I'm not late.

Theyre stored in a database. They are not part of the file system. Data recovery apps cant help

Is there any way to recover lost contacts?

I was flashing a mod to change my phone's dialer and contacts apps, but in the process my Contacts were wiped. I never backed up my contacts to google nor have i taken any kind of backup (otherwise i wouldn't ask here)... Is there anyway i can recover or un-delete my contacts?

If you have contacts on a previous phone than you can just use the bluetooth to send them back to your SGS2
the answer is no.
because they were eraed and written over by the mod you installed.
Always make a back up of important information before doing any modificcations to the phone to prevent problems with missing or lost data.
Okay i got them back from Samsung Kies (An older backup)
Problem solved.

[Q] Delete all synced e-mail contacts (Gmail, Yahoo, FB..) from Android..?

Hello,
How to FULLY delete (only from Mobile) those 1000s of email contacts which were synced earlier in my S2 (JB 4.1.2 Neatrom) from Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail etc.
I have totally disabled automatic 'Sync' on all accounts added, and I only need to manually sync for new emails only. I can manage to 'display' contacts with a number only, but when I run a 'search' it brings up all email contacts again ffrom the db.
I simply don't want any email contacts but phone contacts in my phone.
Tried couple of tools which helped purge duplicates, but not email contacts itself.

Is it a option to delete your account and add them again but only select "Sync Email"?
Clear data for your contacts app and the contacts storage from Application Manager.

That can help for avoiding future contact sync, but here I am worrying about those contacts which synced in the past

What'll happen if I '' Clear data for your contacts app and the contacts storage from Application Manager'' ? Will it purge my original phone/SIM contacts anyway???

Anything that is stored on your phones contact database will go, and Sim contacts which are stored on the sim card you will have to manually clean. Anything and everything else should go.

Dude I am sorry, but I don't think you've got my question properly. I don't want everything and anything to go, only 'e-mail' contacts to be booted out of my Mobile....any feeds?

Couldn't you just backup whatever you need using some app and restore back into a cleaned database, I have done it before myself.

Allright guys, I fixed my problem by myself....lots of thanks to all tried to help
Wondershare Mobilego for PC was the key tool to manage Android contacts from PC, where I had option to pick e-email contacts and purge them!

Yes I could, but you should really consider this 'whatever I need take a backup and restore only what I need', because excluding 3000+ email contacts from the required 500 contacts in a mixed contacts pool is HARD JOB...I had'nt find any tool to isolate them, all threads recommend 'SELECT' only what u need and export....do you find it easy to select one after one among the junk/needed contacts...NOooooooooo :cyclops:
Anyway I fixed it :good:

App backup with/without root?

Guys I'm contemplating not having root on my tablet z anymore as unlike my mobile I don't have text messages to backup or apns etc and I want to be able to use apps like sky go.
But what I do want to have backed up is my app data ie login data for apps so after reloading apps I don't have to open each one and reenter the info and especially game app progression.
Is it possible to backup to this level of information without root? What about googles backup service?
Any help will be gratefully appreciated thx guys
