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 .....

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
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.

There is app "SMS Backup and Restore" on Play Store. You can use it to backup your texts and copy it your PC.
This software can either backup and restore SMS and can backup and restore Contacts, very handy. I've been using and strongly recommend you to use.
OR You can search " obbosoft " in google......

In China, we backup the SMS and contact with several software before flash a new Room
I feel that AST android sms transfer can help you backup and restore all you text messages.
Search "obbosoft or apolsoft" in google.....
They all can solve your problem.
Google sync would be a good option.can be found in ACCOUNTS&SYNC under settings.
Simply add account and sync.after flash sync again.

I chose OBBO Android SMS & Contacts Backup It allows me to transfer and backup your SMS messages & Contacts between android phone and desktop computer.
sms backup + or sms backup & restore from google play. FREE!
Sms backup
SMS Backup & restore work very well.
It create a directory on your SD. copy it on new phone, than select restore.
I will recommend Android Manger to you that all of your texts will be on the cloud. The service has a PC application that will have all your messages on both your PC, Android and cloud. If you change PC or phones just re-install the application and all your texts are back. Plus you can text from your PC using this application as well.
Android Manager
Using apps to save SMS on your phone, and then transfer them to your computer? The way I see it, this is not so good a choice. Why not use some program on your PC and transfer the text messages from your Android to it directly?
Because if you also save it to your MicroSD card you have another backup in case the PC backup doesn't work. Nothing wrong with redundant backups. I also back mine up to my Dropbox account.
Thanks for valuable information.And after my test,I found android assistant tool can make it easily.
Another way is to use Google SMS backup&restore.
message history lost - happened once or twice before - on this round perhaps due to unauthorized access - don't know why anyone would want to hack to my wechat, but...
yes, i know that titanium backup can do this - only, i happen to have a backup of the app's files from the SD card that's much later than the latest titanium backup.
so i've overwritten the message directory on the SD card
\tencent\MicroMsg\b51e1101d48c856d9e55dceeb6ea2af5\*.*
with the latest backup, but the app doesn't recognize the stuff between the titanium backup / the later files. how to force it to? how does it manage these files anyway?
(the answer to this might also help in managing the app's thousands of files in order to keep the phone functioning.)
have a try?
not knowing why your wechat got hacked, maybe you`ve got spyed by ur enemies?
I accidentally downloaded Clean Master from gp,(sorry as a new member, i`m not allowed to post a link here)
and it works well on both protecting my privacy and do the cache cleaning.
have a try?
hacking is a separate issue

Hi, have you manage to solve the problem? Im now facing roughly the same problem. I checked the wechat directory, all my conversation and voice msgs are still there. But my new installed wechat just could not recognize it, and show a blank new wechat with no chat history whatever.
How to force it to recognize it? Thanks

turns out that the message history is NOT on the files that are on the sd card - the sd card files are thumbnails, pictures, whatnot for the visual content. the messages are in an (encrypted) sqlite database on the phone's internal flash storage.
i do not know of what logic, if any, the app uses to either open the existing database (if found) or creating a new one - i've seen it do both, despite my always wanting to use the same account / database.
if i recall right, i just bit the bullet and restored the app/data from my titanium backup, thus losing a few days of messages as that backup was not up to date.
or - on the recent versions you can backup to tencent servers / restore from there - i guess primary use for that is when moving to a new phone. they only keep the backup file 7 days, and don't let you access it locally.
as for how to access the message database in a readable format, please let me know if you figure it out - weixin (at least the old version that i'm using) destroys any device it's on by not performing any housekeeping and thus clogging all the pipes until nothing works. so would be great if the message database could be optimized/cleaned/delete oldest by an extrernal sqlite app.
(the image files you CAN delete from your sd card - which i do periodically to kill the old ones.)

Hey you said you are using titanium backup, does ot work well? let me know where do I find it
Is it possible to back up wechat messages
I want to permatenantly back up wechat messages, because all messages will lost after I re-install wechat
well, that's currently very hard to do, because tencent doesn't give you (unencrypted) access to the SQL database that contains your messages, even if you use the backup functionality in the later versions of the software.
you CAN permanently backup your messages by copying the database from your phone's flash-memory (probably needs a rooted phone). but you can't access your data due to the encryption.
someone needs to write a 3rd party app that cracks the encryption (which is easy for a geek on the know, as the encryption key is based on some device iD string on your phone). then you could actually see your messages and manage them. probably some chinaman already wrote this app, we just don't know of it.
but message history does NOT get lost on re-install (at least for me) if you install over the old install, not from scratch. or, if you've backed up your messages using the apps function for that, you can restore them from their server.
but over time weixin will destroy any device it's on as the database size and image files number grow too big for your portable gadget to handle. no real housecleaning functions are available.
I miss in wechat 1 feature. Restore of mobile chat log TO windows wechat version.
We can restore mobile chat history to new mobile but WE CAN'T restore mobile chat history to windows wechat program, or can we?
It would be cool to be able to browse my mobile wechat chat history on windows pc. As it is now, my archive is empty, lacking past conversations.
And mobile scrolling to past conversations with certain people is troublesome. It has no proper archive oh right so mb an archive in mobile too?!

if i understand correctly, you want to piggybag onto an account someone else created. likely not available, even if the other user wanted to sell his/her account, as they in most cases require real-person verification these days.
but you might try to buy an account in taobao, usually everything is available there.
Thanks for your response..
No my brother... I need "friend help login"
It's option of wechat settings.
Would you please see the link below

the whole day i am trying to recover my - by accident - deleted sms messages, with all programs i could find,
mobisaver, minitool, wondershare, coolmuster, ifonelab, dr.fone, fonepaw...
and wth the last 5 programs look the same, there seems to only be one giant company, that puts out every android recovery soft out there.
now, actually the recovery itself was successful, i got various html files, but sorted and shown in different manner.
it would take me ages to sort this by hand into one compatible backup & restore .xml file to restore the messages.
the only program of the above that saves .csv is fonepaw, but it completly messes up the dates.
so is there ANY software/apk which can recover the deleted sms AND restore them again into the android message up, without fcking everything up?
btw im am using an A3 2015 Duos A300F with rooted stock rom on android 4.4.4.
thanks!
No because Android uses dB files. Not xmls and that file can only be written to by a system app or with root. Otherwise it's doa.
Also all the so called data recovery apps are bs. They can't do anything.
like i said, the programs did recover the deleted messages, but they only save them in a convoluted html file to read in the browser.
wouldnt be a problem to sort it directly as a xml, so eg sms backup and restore could read it, but since every software is the same and only chooses to save in this ****ty html, its not an option..
fonepaw did as the only one save in csv form, but got the dates all wrong (despite they were right in the also saved html).
currently im editing by hand the least convoluted html that was saved by easus mobisaver for each sms thread seperatly to a simply csv format, so i can restore it with veryandroid back to the phone. (the only software i found, that uses a simple csv to backup & restore the sms)
