RE: [Q] Where are internal SMS messages stored on the HTC EVO?
ALSO, are the messages stored in a sequential file or database? IF SO, is there a way to access this file (or database) to copy or repair the existing structure?
I currently have Android 2.1 installed and it appears the SMS messages (or database) has some type of corruption which prohibits SMS BACKUP & RESTORE, or MY BACKUP or LOOKOUT or TITANIUM BACKUP from saving all my sms messages.
The developer of SMS BACKUP & RESTORE reviewed my LOG COLLECTOR file and said there is some corruption which is causing a DISK I/O error, and therefore I cannot save my messages.
ANY SUGGESTIONS on how to:
..(1) save my sms messages,
..(2) repair the potential sms corruption,
..(3) use TITANIUM BACKUP to ATTEMPT a restore of only sms/mms messages?
THANKS IN ADVANCE,

Does anybody know if someone has created a program to automatically purge old text messages (ie. delete messages more than 1 week old)? There's no limit on the messages you can have on your phone so after a while it starts to fill up and slow down things. Also if there's something to save messages you don't want to get deleted. Android has this problem too so I'm looking for WM and Android.
Hy,
this developer (www.pocketkai.net) has done a sms backup tool.

Can I backup my SMS and MMS simple by backing up mmssms.db found in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/? The reason I'm asking this is because TB and other SMS takes about 10-15 minutes to just restore.
Also, if I do just backup that file, can I put it into other ROMs (AOSP, TW, etc.) ?
you can read my thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/sms-backup-alternative.4263615/
I use this way to backup SMS and MMS
Hi Guys,
Was wondering if anyone knew of a good SMS app (I'm currently using Go SMS Pro) that will back up all settings which can be easily restored after a ROM flash/change.
When I restore Go SMS Pro (using Titanium Backup- with backup apps external data selected) all the settings are gone- most importantly my Quick Text (pre-written SMS responses) are gone.
I'm after an SMS app which is feature rich (Quick Text, Pop Up for new messages, Widget and Delay Send) which is fully restored with Titanium Backup or which allows me to back-up/restore the settings (not just the SMS messages).
Any ideas/suggestions welcome
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?

When I reinstalled WhatsApp it did not restore the backup. The reason was probably that I initially denied WhatsApp access to contacts. Now finally I did give WhatsApp access to contacts, and my backup about one gigabyte in size shows up in the settings. The backup is only in Google. Before wiping the phone, I checked if there is a way to create a local backup of WhatsApp, but I didn't find it anymore.
How do I restore the backup without losing new messages?
PS: I used the WhatsApp contact function to send them a message, but the message bounced:
