I was wondering if any developers might have a PIM backup file handy they use for testing to show off their apps... Basically just with some made up contacts and generic SMS stored in it. Would really be helpful because I would like to show a screenshot of my SMS Chat skin without having to censor all the contacts and messages. Anyone?
hi, im looking for a blackberry function in my android.
the ability to keep a set amount of days of sms messages.
email is linked to gmail, and only the inbox is synced, so that keeps that synced.
but i dont need to see over 1000 sms to my lass, nor do i wish to delete the entire thread, nor do i have the time / patience to delete the messages separately.
i dont care about backing them up, i just want the old ones to be gone!
function / app / hack?
thanks!
anyone? at all?
also appened to me
Love the new phone so far with one minor problem. Is there an easier way to delete text messages from the device? As it is now I have to press and hold on each message, then click on delete from the menu that pops up.
Not normally a big deal but if you get alot of sms notifications from various message boards/ texts / etc... its a royal pain to have to manually delete 20-30 messages one at a time like that.
if you go back one screen to the list of contacts instead of the list of individual messages, you can delete all messages from a single contact by long pressing.

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Thats the screen I was referring to. My problem is that all of the forum notifications that I get come from a different "number" for each message/thread so they dont get threaded together. When I had my iphone 2G there was a delete all ap that cleared all of the messages at once. I loved that ap and was hoping for something similar, or another way to selected multiple messages at once (with checkboxes) then delete them as a group.
SMS backup and restore in the market for free has a delete all. Also lets you back all up to an XML file and restore, no root needed.

i would suggest using a different mms client. i prefer handcent.
I use the app SMS Backup And Restore to backup & restore SMSs.
However when I do a restore I find that even SMSs that I had deleted before making the backup are restored.
I contacted the developer (who by the way replied very promptly) and was told that perhaps the app I use to view/delete SMSs did not really delete the SMSs but was maybe just putting a deleted marker/flag on the SMSs.
I use (Google) Messages to view/delete SMSs.
Can someone shed some light on this. I don't think I'm the only one having this problem.
Is there a way to permanently delete SMSs?
Edit : I have a Moto X Style with Android N
