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?

.....im getting sick of htc changing so many features and settings on this phone everytime they release an update. ive got another issue now. not mentioning the dozen ive managed to sort myself in the last day or so.
my text messages are now all over the place. if i recieve a message i hit the message icon on the scroll bar and it opens. reply and then close. normal situation. however. when i want to send another message to the same person either by opening their contact info or hitting the message icon and finding the conversation there is no info at all. wtf!!!
if i go to all messages i get a list of all recipients and the last message either sent or recieved but when i click on that person to reply the entire conversation, 1,2 10, 100 messages that are in brackets next to their name are nowhere to be seen. ive tried removing contact pictures, deleting numbers and attaching them to the contact when a message comes in. no luck. been through the messaging settings, cant find anything else to check or uncheck to resolve this situation. ive no contacts on my sim card just the phone.
cheers. i do need to know if its a general thing with this rom or is my phone just playing up? anyone else noticed this? communications is a big part of messaging and as all phones nowadays seem to be able to record and display conversations with each contact i find it hard to believe htc suddenly decided to bin the idea.
anyone got any suggestions as to how i recover this option as i cant be asked to remember the last few messages of every conversation i have. not to mention important information that i cant access if i cant pull up more than one previous message!
I have the new stock Rom 3.14, and I haven't encountered anything like you've described here. What application did you use to restore the backed-up messages after you flashed the ROM?
fixed this. i had installed a cab recently which disables the annoying 'sent message successfully' notification. but this was also causing the above mentioned problem. unistalling the cab means ive got my conversations back and all contacts/messages link properly. see here for all info and further links... http://www.htchd2forum.com/general-htc-hd2-discussion/more-hatred-for-new-3-14-rom-(conversations)/
Hi, I have a weird issue with one of my contacts. An old number they no longer use just won't delete! I Tried to delete the contact altogehter, and add it again, even tried to change the name by adding something extra to it, but whenever I try to text the person, the previous number shows up, THEN the current number (and not just the name of the contact like it should. Something to keep in mind is that the old number does not show up in the actual contacgts directory, ONLY whenever I text them, and it doesn't show their name, which is really REALLY annoying!!! Can anyone help? I tried uninstalling/reinstalling using Titanium Backup, even the data wipe of the messaging app, didn't work! Still doing the same thing, seems like the app won't disassociate the past number from the current, and the weird thing is that I had deleted that number from the contacts long before, when I was still on 2.1 (stock). Now that I have updated to the stock 2.3.3, it brought that number back! Please help, this really sucks and I don't know what to do, don't want to do a repair install, so much work :-( Another issue I found is that the messaging won't sound the notification I set, it does blink the LED light, but won't vibrate or sound the notification I set up for it... What should I do??? Thanks in advance...
sorry just tried merging the posts to my first post, but can't delete this one.
Same as the upper post, sorry again...
I had a similar problem. You can edit your contacts at the actual gmail website from your internet browser. Also remember when adding contacts from phone, click save to gmail and sync contacts every now and then if auto-sync is disabled.
Really? Where do I edit my contacts??? When I check my contacts in Gmail, it only shows me the email contacts I have, no actual phone numbers

At the top right there should be a contacts option, look a bit lower and there should be more options pertaining to it.
I did check that, explored all the options within, and none of my phone contacts show up! Only my email contacts!!! Any other way to handle this??? The sound part seems to have resolved (sometimes it does ring my notification tone), but the messaging app still shows the number I deleted months ago, no idea why it won't disassociate the number. In my contacts list, that number doesn't show. But in messaging, when I try to send that person a meggae, instead of showing the NAME of the person I am sending it to (like it should), it shows the old number and then the new number!!! Any ideas???

It is somehow either associated with your google account or your at&t account, does you at&t plan have an online back up by chance?
I'm actually with Rogers, and have never used their online backup (nor have I checked to see if they provide any). But something rather weird happened, I deleted the messages, asked my friend to send me a text, and when they did, their name showed up like it is supposed to! I hope it is resolved now, thank you all for trying to help
Will update if the problem persists.
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..
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.

Hi,
A few yers ago I bought a new phone. Prior to that all my messages were on an old phone, that originally had a SIM card that I stopped using. But I continued using Viber on the phone, despite having a new phone number. I didn't change the phone number in Viber.
When I got the new phone, I launched Viber entered my new number. Then on old phone I switched phone number in Viber to new number.
Now, my order of operations here were catastrophic. I hadn't backed up my viber messages on old phone, so what happened was I lost all my old viber messages.
On the old phone in /data/data/com.viber.voip/databases I see the file viber_messages-journal. It is about 8MB. It has my old message data in some form, because when I viewed the file I saw old messages I was looking for. Some of the messages were in Russian, and oddly enough when I open the file now I can't view the Russian text. In any case, I believe this file holds the key to me being able to get my old messages into the message database.
Any ideas?
thanks
