I recently got a new touch pro from sprint since my last one took a bath in a cup of water. It still works, the screen just won’t stay on and I really need my old messages. I copied the directory: Application data/PictureMail from old to new and it more or less worked fine (lost maybe 2 messages). I tried going in the windows/messaging folder and copying the entire directory to my new phone but it won’t show a single message in my inbox whether in threaded view or standard. Any Suggestions?
the software i use is microsoft myphone but you would have to put it on your old phone and the sync it then put it on the new phone and it will stnc all contacts and text and documents email etc. There are other programs out there that will use your computer to transfer your info to the computer then to the other phone but I havent used it in forever but I found it through google.

transfer messages from pc to optimus black
Hello! I have an lg p970 (optimus black) and i want to transfer messages from pc-suite to my mobile... As i've seen, there's only choice to transfer them from mobile to pc...Is there any other way that i can do it? Thank you in advance
I have a Samsung Galaxy Prevail the model number is SPH-M820-BST and I am having some serious problems with my phones ability to copy SMS text messages to my computer or send them to my e-mail. I am having some problems with my land lord and I am trying to get a record of the text messages that she sent me but they are not copying properly, all of the messages copy except for a couple of really long important ones that she sent.
These are the programs that I have tried so far, SMS to text, Super Backup, SMS Backup+ (e-mailed to my gmail), SMS backup & restore. All of these programs have the exact same problem where they copy most of my texts except for a couple of the same really long ones that she sent. One thing I noticed is that for some reason my text messages are usually limited to 200 max per contact but for her its now at 207.
These text messages are really important for me to get my security deposit back and chances are I'm going to have to use them in small claims. I've tried everything to no avail, maybe I should use screen capture software? Or maybe even put my phone into a photo copy machine?
Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
Does anyone know of any screen capture software I could use?
Hi,
A friend of mine recently came into possession of a "maimed" S4. We are able to fix this, however, the data on the phone is incredibly important, more specifically, the text messages. It is critical that we recover them. The phone is not rooted.
My questions are:
1) Can we recover the messages without root through some computer software or application?
2) If we install some sort of application, do you think it will over-write the deleted text message data (We know that it stays on the device until overwritten)?
3) If we attach the phone via usb to a computer and set it to "usb mass storage," will that prevent data from being lost if we need to install an application?
Thank you in advance!
Anyone?
There is no way, that I am aware of, to recover deleted text messages. There might be a way If rooted. Good luck with your endeavor!

You are taking data recovery. Expensive, if you have someone do it. If you are using something like Verizon messages, simply put another phone on the line/number, and tell it to sync your old texts. This will only work if the texts have not been deleted. Good luck! I do not use Verizon messages but I use the app to sync my texts when I change phones.

Windows 10 Your Phone and the Your Phone Companion app on Play Store allows you to send and receive text messages from your computer. It can sync items from your device, not 100% about MMS messages as I have not had a reason to send one just yet. This is the closest I can find that works good so far... I am sure there are other apps out there, this is the first one I found.
If you have T-Mobile at all using the Digits app is also a good way to gain access to texting/calling from a computer.
Myself I use both of Your Phone (and companion app) as well as the digits service. So far both apps/services work really good, no issues as of yet
Hi there, I hope you are doing well.
I'm quite desperated today. I recently change my phone number because I started a new job (about a week ago) and I also got a new corporate phone for it.
My old Note 8 was sitting in a drawer, as I've tried to make backups and move things over, the past few days. Today, when I went to open WhatsApp there, I got redirected back to the "Send SMS Verification" screen; locking me out of seeing my own messages that are stored in the SQLIte databases (msgstore.db.crypt12) in my own device!
From what I've been reading, the most probably cause is that a new subscriber to the phone company received my old number and created a new WhatsApp account. I know that they won't be seeing my messages, as those are stored in my device and encrypted with.
What I'd need to retrieve is my WhatsApp encryption key, located in /data/data/com.whatsapp/files/key to read my messages, but, obviously, needs root. My phone is not rooted and, from what I've also been reading, if I went to root it with any of the know methods, it would wipe everything and I'd lose that key.
Is there any way in which I can gain root and copy that file, without wiping? If not, is there any way I can create a "low-level" backup that woul ALSO backup that data; to later restore (after rooted). I think that all the common backups in the Play Store will, of course, not be able to access that data to backup. But I don't know about any of the Samsung bloated own apps (like Cloud Backups, Smart Switch, etc.); if those would work in my scenario.
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide; looking forward to hear back from you.
Regards.

WhatsApp app itself has to create a backup of the chats.
In WhatsApp settings - Chats - Chat backup.
If you have to change your mobile number, there is a feature in WhatsApp to migrate your data, chats, settings, etc. to your new phone number. And to inform your WhatsApp contacts that you have a new number.
In WhatsApp settings - Account - Change number.
If there is a new WhatsApp account created with your old number, it might be too late now.
Thanks for your inpur @It_ler.
I know that you can migrate the WhatsApp number and how the procedure work. The thing is that WhatsApp deactivates accounts with no activity for more than 120 days and now, when opening it again, it tries to send validation to the phone number that I no longer own. Nobody created a new account with that number; as far as I know, it haven't been reassigned yet to another subscriber. Still, all my chat history is in the device itself, but encrypted with the key I can't get access to without rooting, while rooting hard resets (erases) everything; hence losing said key (catch-22).
Do you know of any way in which I could root or get access to the encryption key without having to delete everything?
Thanks again.

Sorry ... no, I don't
And do not forget to activate automatic chat backup into your Google drive for your new/recent chats.
