I have a friend who is able to "bewilder" me and retrieve the wording from WhatsApp messages I sent off my phone. And this is after the messages and the app has been deleted! No, he is not going into my app as it is deleted and yes, he is retrieving the messages and reading them to me. In fact, he can download them and send them to his own hone. So this is like some sort of basement file in my Samsung Droid phone that he secretly knows about. Help! What is he doing and how?

UPDATE: It is as if there is some hidden cache that takes screen shots of the last items that have been opened up. Not only is it messages that have been seen but also an email with an attached photo (that was deleted completely from the phone). Where are these files being retrieved from? There has to be some sort of hidden cache that I do not know about...? Thanks.

Surely someone has an idea of how this is being done? It is the most frustrating thing to have him able to show me how a message from ANY app is retrieved, even if that app is deleted! Again, it was like a screen shot of these messages as they showed me a screen shot of a photo being sent to the other person's email. Is it some sort of cache? Confused still as we are letting a teenager out smart us! Thanks.

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.

I was about to post a question with this same issue. I notice that I have new, unread messages in my Outlook Inbox on my PC, but no notifications on my phone. So when I open the email inbox on my phone, the messages are there, but still no notifications.
Sometimes I do get notifications.
I wish I could bypass BLUR and just use stock Google Corporate Sync setup. This is probably the one thing about this phone that really irks me.
Hi I could really do with some advise. I suspect my 13 year old daughter is being messaged by some pervert she has been talking to online. she forgot her phone a couple of weeks ago when she went swimming and got a notification of a message on Facebook which I checked only to find what was, lets say a message no 13 should get. I have deleted all her internet settings and her MSN and facebook accounts and she wont be leaving the house for quite a while, but she is acting strange and spending lots of time texting and deleting her sent and received messages as soon as she gets them. Could really do with some form of logging software or something to put my mind at rest and either beat the living ****e out of this bloke or forward his number to the police. Need something stealthy and free or really cheap as I have reciently been made redundant and all the ones I can find are very expensive. I tried stealth sms messenger but when i tried it on my phone it just forwarded blank texts. Thanks in advance.
forgot to say its for a sensation if that makes a difference
i would suggest sms backup which archives messages onto a gmail account.
i've used it for over a year without any problems.
it works away in the background but is clearly visible within the apps list.
Thanks gascomm i will have a look and see if i can hide it some way. does it backup both sent and received?
yes, both in & outgoing messages are saved.
am afraid i haven't a clue on how to hide it but there may well be apps in the market to do such a thing. best of luck in finding a full solution.
Cheers i will sort something out, thanks again for your advise
If u use a launcher like Go EX then you can hide apps in the app drawer. Best of luck
Thanks very much I will give it a shot

SMS Backup is an amazing app. Use it all the time.
Try SMS Tracker Agent.
you can track sms messages remotely.

I had a Rezound and used the Backup function in the stock Messaging app to back up my MMS messages. However, I moved to an S3 and the stock Messaging app doesn't have that functionality. Does anyone know how I can open and read the messages from the Rezound's backup files either on the S3 or on a PC in Windows? Thanks.
--edit--
I meant SMS messages. I'm not concerned about the MMS messages.

Well, that's part of the problem. There is no file extension. I Googled the issue and found a post on Yahoo Answers that someone indicated it was an SQLite file, but I was unable to view the content in Notepad++ or any of several SQLite viewers. It all just looks like machine language - lines and lines of wierd random characters.
--edit--
By the way, I meant SMS messages, not MMS. I've updated the OP.

looks like it can't be decoded so easily. If you still have the phone try an app from the market.

If I still had the phone, I'd just restore the backup using the SMS app, then export to XML. Unfortunately, I no longer have the Rezound.

Could you get someone else to restore them on their rezound and then use an app to back them up through a gmail account, then you can restore them from the gmail account you created just for that to the new phone.
There's an app that does that, it's name is simple like sms backup to gmail or something.

Well I thought of that, and I checked Craigslist and everything, but I don't know anyone who has a Rezound who's fine with losing the text messages they already have if something goes wrong. (Restoring the messages wipes out the existing messages.) I know I could back theirs up the same way, swap SD cards, restore mine, export to XML, swap cards back and restore theirs, but if something happens that the process fails in restoring theirs, they'd be a bit upset.
Ignore.
Does anyone here know where Snapchat stores saved chat messages. I have this really long conversation with a friend of mine where I have saved all our messages, and I would like to get it as a text document, so I can search for old messages without scrolling for hours. I have tried looking in the /data/data/com.snapchat.android/ folder, but I could't find anything there. I would be very thankful if someone can help me! My phone is rooted and I am of course willing to install Magisk/Xposed/etc. if that can help me.

I think Snapchat stores this in their servers , it would be the most logical thing to do.
