Hello Guys,
where are the SMS/MMS saved, and is there any possibility to save it and to restore it, without a special application from the market?

its probably saved in some sqlite file somwhere, i never thought to dig for this. maybe it can be backed up direct to the sd or your server/pc with rsync
Does nobody knows the exactly place? because i want to restore my backed up sms.
I don't know where there saved at.But there is a app on the market that will back all your txt mess. to your gmail account.I's called sms back up.
while we are talking about mms can anyone tell me what settings they are using if they dont have a data plan and are able to send mms with JF 1.5
@g2crx: Yes i know, but i want go restore the messages back to the phone and so i need the place where they are saved
@gadiator - check this thread out:

There is a post with the code someone added just TODAY!
Save sms, mms, contacts
Just use my backup pro. It saves all texts, call history, bookmarks, contacts, picture messaging to your sd card and allows one to restore them. I always use it when i update or do a factory reset. There is a free version and a paid version but it is well worth the $2.99.
@shaneaus Big thanks, this is, what i need

I am noticing that my text messaging has a bit of a lag when first going into the app, have been for a while. I'm assuming this is because I don't delete any of them, and I probably send/receive 75-125 a day. I know I can delete them all, but what Iwas looking for was a way to either archive them, or if that's not possible, to delete everything past a certain date. Is this possible?
Also, I would rather be able to have different ringtones for "unknown", "blocked/restricted", and just numbers that aren't in my contacts as opposed to just one ringtone for them all. Is there a solution to that, or was I just spoiled with my Treos?
Other than that, I love this phone. TIA
regarding the text lag, if you're talking about going into a text message from your favorites or something similar, I had the same issue, I hadn't deleted any text messages sense I got my XV6800 (1 year ago) and I transfered all the messages via PIM Backup to my TP2. I deleted all my messages and the lag was gone. I'd suggest backing up all your messages before trying this though, just in case that your 1000's messages isn't the issue.
I'll give that a try, thanks. I'm using the HTC backup app, and the "PIM only" backup function has inbox, contacts, etc., but no specific text message backup. I don't mind doing a complete backup, but will I be able to restore just the texts from the backup?

If you don't mind having your info stored on the internet, you can sign up for a myphone account from Microsoft. Its a cab file you install on your phone to upload your PIM info including pics, vids, docs, and text messages. You can set it at increments or sync it manually. It saves it on a account online that you create which gives you up to 200 megs of online space for free. The good thing is that anything you delete, it puts it in an archive section of your account just in case you want to recover something you deleted since your last sync. You can get it here, and its free. The only catch is that you have to have an unlimited data plan or use Wifi. I don't know if you can use your PC's internet connection via activesync/Windows Mobile Device Center but you can give it a shot if you don't have an unlimited data plan. (And No I do not work for Microsoft...lol)
Hey,
a friend has a Galaxy3 - the native Android client by default seems to be set up to delete messages when a certain limit is reached.
Is there some way to restore these messages? Maybe they just get moved off to a "temporary" folder for deleted items? Any help would be appreciated!
No you cant recover deleted sms. Download sms backup + from market and your current sms will be backed up in your gmail account, and you can restore them in case you delete them To prevent future sms loss, go in message settings and remove the sms limit...

Go to Sms app and press the menu button to open settings. First option is to enable/disable "Delete old sms".
If you backup up your files to Gmails, then you can easily restore them, but if you didn't , I think you need to try some professional Andriod data recovery tool, like Vibosoft, I used it, works, but if you create new files, it will cover your original data, in that case, it is impossible to recover.
It's awful to lose the photos of your precious memories from Android Phone due to accident deletion or other reasons. With Dr.Fone for Android, all the lost photos can be recovered at ease. Recover from SD card and phone storage; Retrieve JPEG, PSD, PNG, BMP, GIF, TIFF, etc.

Also it works on deleted contacts, text messages, video and more on your android phone.
BACKUP
Backup is the only way ......
If it is once deleted from your Phone ....... That's it ...
You wouldn't Get it Anymore .....

Got the answer :::: DUDE ::::
Hi. I just arrived to HD2 world, and I can't find any info about some way to backup WhatsApp. I say WhatsApp not because of its data (conversations), but for the activation SMS, that means every time I reflash I have to reactivate paying for a SMS
In Android I had Titanium Backup so I just restored. I hope there is some way here in WP7, or a Registry key to save the code and restore or something.
Thank you very much, waiting for some light here.

I was thinking more of a specific thing, not all in a pack, but I don't really care. Thank you very much! I'll try. Hope it works.
LOL I just installed WhatsApp after reflashing, updating, reset and reactivation, and it didn't make the SMS step. Just from input cell number to chats.
Sorry. I guess I was way too farsighted!
Sorry to bump this thread, but where does whatsApp actually store the messages? It doesnt seem to use Isolated storage so there is no way there is just a data file that we can download..
anyone else have any idea's?
trying WMDC/ActiveSync launcher as I post this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23064872#post23064872
EDIT:
WMDC/ActiveSync launcher allows me to go to the app directory
Microsoft Windows Phone\\\Applications\Data\218A0EBB-1585-4C7E-A9EC-054CF4569A79\Data\IsolatedStore
where 218A0EBB-1585-4C7E-A9EC-054CF4569A79 is the application ID (might not be the same for everyone but I assue it is just to make this easy
There is a file in Isolated Storage called messages.sdf. In my case its about 640k in size but I guess that varies with the amount of messages stored on the phone.
I havent tried my device and copying the files back, but at least I can store them on my PC
Opening the file with Notepad shows messages and they are unprotected/not encryped. There is a lot of wierd caracters inbetween the messages, but it also shows whatsapp IDs from the recipients.
As soon as I reflash my rom (if new HD2 rom comes out soon) I will see if I can restore the messages.
So if you have acces to the Isolated storage dirs, you are able to copy the messages to your PC.
Note that WMDC/ActiveSync launcher requires a fully unlocked device.
Can't get any more straightforward than that.
I have a Galaxy S3. I've been using SMS Backup+, which is fine if you like getting your texts backed up into multiple Gmail threads that max out at 100 texts.
What I need is something that I can transfer to my computer, delete the texts off my phone, and then say, a month later when I make another transfer, it will append to the backup that I already have.
If anyone knows any app/program like this, even if you have to pay for it, let me know.
Use File Expert download it at the play store
Its very good i use it to back up my apps
I think you can bckup Sms too

There is one good app in the market "My Backup Pro". It does take the complete backup of of phone (Application, music, contacts, SMS etc) which can be restored easily. But the only problem I guess is it will not append to the existing messages and instead wipe it and restore only the backup. Let me check if it can append.
why not try AST android sms transfer, This Android SMS Transfer APK helps you achieve a simple but effective management of your SMS
I've been trying to restore my old text messages to my M8.
I tried before rooting and it didn't work.
I tried after rooting and it didn't work.
I tried after doing the MicroSD hack and it didn't work.
Anyone else having this problem??
please help, thanks!!
Try MyBackup in play store. Worked for me. Hope it helps.
Hmm sms backup has my backup sms saved to Gmail. MyBackup will restore my sms from there??
Thanks for the reply

Try changing it to the default messaging app before restoring. When I used my SMS backup app it told me it has to be default for it to restore the messages. After its done you can go back and change back to whatever messaging app you were using. You can find the option to change apps in settings then more towards the top where the WiFi and Bluetooth selections are.
I use Hangouts as my SMS client and restoring via TiBu does restore my texts.
Hancent has a backup built in but it saves them as xml files I believe.
Never determined how to backup GO SMS.
For me, I want to use TiBu to restore all my texts and have now gotten use to the interface.
YMMV

I should say im trying to recover my SMS but i dont have it on my old phone anymore. It is only saved on my gmail account. Thats how SMS Backup+ backs up the SMS.
thanks
SMS Backup and restore has been working flawlessly for me from the thunderbolt to
DNA to the M8. Great program and even can upload/backup to Dropbox or Google drive.
If you have your old phone prior to the M8..I'd extract those old texts you want on it..then use another program to back them up on the older phone..then get that new program on the M8 and extract the text backup

It has always worked for me as well. Going from GN, to S4, to G2, but for M8 it hasnt restored it.
I have tried a few times and it just says "8548 restored (8547 duplicate)" something like that.

I think you are using a different program than I do. Mine is SMS Backup and Restore by Ritesh Sahu....I think yours is SMS Backup+ by Jan Berkel?
So if you have your old phone still, I'd restore all the texts on it (I am assuming that would still work)...install the program I use...back it up and upload the backup file to dropbox or google drive.
Then on your M8, install the program I use and then bring down that backup file from Google Drive (or Dropbox) and get all of your old texts on the M8

Hope it works! And as previously stated...to restore messages in Kit Kat..
SMS Backup and Restore will prompt you telling you it needs to be the default messaging app. Allow that and then you can restore....then go back into your settings and change the default messaging app to whatever you use for texting...probably the stock messaging app I presume.
