If you can't see the chat messages in WhatsApp on your Android, please go "Settings -> Apps -> All -> WhatsApp" and then choose Clear Cache and App Data.
Or you can use Backuptrans Android WhatsApp Transfer to restore chats from backup file to your Phone after reinstalling WhatsApp.
Good luck!

this summer i lost all my messages because whatsapp is stupid, i updated my phone and did an hardreset, i copied the folder to my sd in the default path,installad whatsapp, it ask me to restore ... but it didnt restore nothing
i tried also to clear whatsapp data in setting so it ask me again to restore ma it continued to not restore nothing!
after that bad experience i do a backup with or titanium backup or with root explorer just go to /data/data/com.whatsapp/ and copy that folder.

[Q] Problem with SMS History (3.14)

Hey guys...
I've got a new annoing problem with my HD2... (official Firmware)
I just updated my phone with the new 3.14 Firmware and restore my Data with spb-Backup... everything seems to work fine, BUT my HD2 won't save the sms history in the contacts now.
If I get a new sms I see it normally in the messaging tab, but if I want to answer in the message window of the contact it won't show ANY sms - not even my own sended ones.
The inbox menu in traditional mode works normally and shows any received sms.
Hope you understand me, my english is not the best.
Any ideas?
No ideas? I don't want to hardreset my phone again...
maybe backup of SMSes with PIM Backup, then deleting all messages and restore back could help?
I have the same problem on my hd2. If I switch to "traditional mode" The history is showing, but not in "conversation mode" (Don't know if that's what its called in English)
It happened after I updated the rom to the latest official HTC ROM. (3.14)
It's really annoying
happened to have the same problem today, tested PIM Backup, helped with mine:
1. install PIM Backup
2. backup only Messages
3 restore Messages:
- "Text Messages" checked, below that "Conversations" box unchecked (not sure if it's necessary), "Inbox" and "Sent Items" checked
- Message restore options: Delete all existing messages from the Database
4. soft reset

try repeating the above procedure with one addition - delete contents of Windows\Messaging folder after step 2,
I'm not sure if and how it affects stored email messages so it could be a good idea to make full backup first if you keep any important emails

I had the same problem. The problem is when you restore your messages using PIM Backup, 3.14 does not sense the messages at all. I personally think the new 3.14 loads sms's to another folder than before thus we can't see it under threaded but when you look at traditional it shows all the pervious messages meaning it might be in a sub-directory in the folder. Just an idea.
To my knowledge there is no way of getting it to show in all your messages. I would recommend just to delete all your messages and start from scratch or load another rom, maybe 2.07 or something.
I can speak only for myself, but for me PIM Backup + deleting files in Windows\Messaging folder works - tested it few times just to be sure.
On my device restoring the messages with PIM backup brings back files in this folder, and then SMS threads reapear.
It looks like if the SMS thread information was stored in all the files inside Windows\Messaging - I wonder if anyone could confirm this?
My messages folder is empty, and I also tried to delete all messages including the folder to see if the new messages would line up in conversation mode without restoring any messages, but it didn't help.
I'll try a hard reset once I've made a backup of everything except my messages. If that doesn't work I might consider downgrading the ROM.

[Q] Whatsapp reader or restore old messages

Hi all, i guess it's is already mentioned.. but i couldnt find it after searching for almost a day.
I have old whatsapp messages that i want restored, could anyone explain me the way how to do it?
greetings,
Gertjan
I'm not quite sure what your problem is. Did you change the device or reinstall whatsapp and want to restore a backup?
In general it should work following these steps:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2011/08/21/how-to-backup-chat-messages-in-whatsapp/
Follow the steps below to backup your Whats chat conversations:
- Open WhatsApp.
- Press the Menu key, and go to ‘Settings’.
- Scroll down and go to ‘More’;.
- Now tap once on “Chat History Backup” and backup will start.
That’s it! Next time when you re-install WhatsApp after a full reset, you will be asked to restore your previous backup (which is stored on your SD card).

If not, we need some more information...
However I guess it's not that useful too have all those older messages in whatsapp, because they are just filling the internal space and you can't easily access them (you would have to press "load older messages" again and again and whatsapp will become slower and slower ...).
A good possibility is to transfer the full whatsapp backup to your PC and use a tool called "Whatsapp Extractor" to display all the conversations.

is there a way to restore iphone whatsapp backup/history to android htc one X?
Re: Whatsapp reader or restore old messages
WhatsApp automatically makes backups every 24 hours and stores them on the microSD memory card of your Android phone. To restore the deleted messages of WhatsApp, you will need to uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp. During the installation process, you will be prompted to restore the lost message history of WhatsApp. Choose restore your missing chats.
Today I woke up in the morning and saw that all my whatsapp messages were deleted, I did not perform any back or restore from any backup utility such as Titanium backup. I am on Android 4.3 on Samsung note 2.
I tried to uninstall whatsapp and re-install again, it asked for restoring messages from backup folder but only restored messages till date 30-Dec-2013, although message backup was present with latest backup of yesterday’s date i.e. 23-Feb-2014.
Please let me know how can I restore all the messages and resolve this issue.

Have you tried whatsapp migrator tool?
:good:
Try this way
Have you tried to restore by WhatsApp. If you have done a backup, messages, chats can be easily restored. If not, try Android Data Recovery on RecoveryAndroid. I used it to get my lost Whatsapp messages back days ago.:highfive:

First off check out these three guides for recovering deleted texts:
1. How to Find Saved Text Messages on SIM Card
2. How to Retrieve Text Messages from Someones Phone
3. How to Restore Deleted Text Messages
Next I would get an application like SMS Backup + this will backup and restore your SMSs to Gmail and Google Calendar you can also schedule it to backup up your SMSs automatically.
Finally after you have safely backed up your current SMSs find the application and select clear default cache and see if that works. Hope this helps you

Backup query

Apologies if this has been answered before. I backup my messages to google drive. Whatsapp also backs up messgaes on my phone. I want to free up phone space. If I delete the whatsapp backup stored on my phone, will all the messages stored on google drive also be deleted / will they be difficulty to restore back to phone in the future once whatsapp syncs with google drive?
Thanks
I would like to share a tip for WhatsApp users. Most users said that they have a backup problem and they were unable to recover data and conversation.
Through a cloud storage service, user can easily take backup our conversation & media which is offered by WhatsApp. When you change your mobile device, you can easily restore the old conversation. If you set up this function properly, then you never faced any backup issues in your WhatsApp.
Here are the simple steps to execute this function and get your backup anytime:
Step 1: Go to the Setting
Step 2: Under Setting, Click on the Chats
Step 3: Go to the Chat Backup and simply select Auto Backup
After backing up all the conversation & media on WhatsApp, Just restore it after installing again. This is best when some get the new phone.
