Please can somebody help? I urgently need to view a db-wal file (contacts2.db-wal to be exact) but can find no prog that will open it correctly, i have tried SQlite but cant understand how to use it, it just keeps giving errors.
Its the only backup of my wife's contacts that I lost from her sim, gmail, etc.
I can see phone numbers names etc using word, notepad, WordPad etc but its a mess, they are all mixed and matched over the place with bizarre text and icons everywhere
If anybody can help I would be extremely grateful
Thanks

Hey Guys - I have a huge Problem ...
I was playing around with SKtools and "optimizing" the registry ... I dont know if this has anything to do with it and its the first time i'm posting here for a Problem ..
following problem : in Manila tag "messages" there are no more messages - all my sms are gone and im not able to create new ones ... i also cannot access "messaging" in start menue or settings...
same with mail accounts - cannot see mine nor create or edit a new one ...
can anyone help me please ? is this just a broken link somewhere ? Are my messages still eventually stored anywhere and if yes where ?
i would really appreciate your Help
sorry for my english
It could be registry errors.
Try to restore your backup.
well ... i dont find any option for a backup in sk tools concerning automated optimisation of the registry ..
then hard reset is another option...
next time install a proper backup tools like Sprite Backup & backup regularly
well i know
it seems that outlook is broken - is there a possibility to manually search the files/folders where sms and mail messages are stored ?
As long as your WM not discarded all the corrupted data may be you still can get it.
but I'm not sure b'coz I have never try that before.
yes - thats what i thought .. the data might still be present ...
does anyone know the folder / file where sms and mail messages are normally stored ? also I cant't find the "tmail.exe" in my System - does this have to do anything with it ? Is someone out there who has a little background knowledge ?
I had the same problem. It was fixed by going to the sd card and deleting some folder called ~"Inbox.1234123" or something.
Its some error b/c of having 2 different folders for storing attachments. Deleting that folder fixed it for me. It still pops up every now and then, i go and delete that folder, and all works perfect afterwards...

Brilliant. Had this problem and two of these files (as I'm on a mac I only have my contacts etc backed up, but not my entire system)
Thus removing these two files saved me a lot of pain.
Thanks!

I cant copy and paste text anymore. I remember doing this before but I cant seems to do it now.
if i try to copy something from chrome, whatsapp or Go SMS, the app would crash. Ok, so copying didnt work. I then long press on the text box of these apps, but i cant see the cut/copy/paste option too. is this normal?
anyone got similar experiences?
help pls...
PS: Stock, international phone 4.0.4 xxxxxxLF3
so I need to view my contacts which is in .spb file. I am having a trouble because I just changed my phone to N5 from S3. Apparently kies doesn't let me open backed up contacts without a phone (all I see is music, photos, videos and podcast when i open kies no option to open .spb file). I have most of my contacts imported from google contact but apparently not all the contacts.. I dont need to convert or anything I just need to see what on the list so I can save the ones that were missing from my google contact. Is there any way I can just see the contacts? I'm using mac OSX 10.9 btw
Thanks!
Hello,
Since I got a android phone, I always had an issue when exporting/importing my phone contacts.
When I flash a new ROM, I'm used to export all phone contact to a .vcf file, then reimporting them after. I use the standard stock contact app feature.
BUT, after having re-importing the contacts, all the pictures contacts are systematically pixelated, and I have to set all the contacts photo again. It's very long, It takes ages.
Does somenone know the solution of that terribly boring problem ?
I know there is 2 pictures associated to each contact : one in lower resolution, used in the app, and the other in 720p resolution we can see when a contact calls us for example.
I've tried many ways to solve the problem : dump and paste the database contact in /data/data/com.contactsblablabla/databases (with, of course, reboot and chmod) and some other stuff like that.. I have explored the contacts database, but no way to find how to solve.
I'm tired of searching, 10 years android exists, there is at least one solution to this courant problem ! I've never found yet.
Any ideas ?
I asked myself the same question yesterday, did a search here and found your post.
Digged a little more, and found some app : Contacts Backup Ultimate
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=at.specsoft.contactsbackupultimate
Small, free, and it does indeed backup contacts as a XML file and a set of 720x720 (on my phone) pngs.
I haven't tried a restore yet.
Just tried another app that also does the job : Super Backup : SMS & Contacts
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.idea.backup.smscontacts
It exports a single .vcf file, with embedded 720x720 jpeg (unlike the standard Sony contact apps which exports a .vcf file with only 96x96), which can then be imported by the standard contact app.

Hi, I hadn't seen your answer.
Thanks you for the suggestion, I'll try it. Hope it'll do the job
Hi all, I recently broke my phone but luckily I recovered the data. I stil have a problem with the sms. The technician sent me sole files in .html and .db format. If I open the html, the text messages are shown correctly. The problem is that I need an app or a way to transfer this content into the sms app of the phone. I tried a lot of recover apps and also tried to convert into xml or csv but nothing change.
do anyone knows how to solve this problem? Anyone had the same situation solved?
thanks in advance
up
anyone knows?
If the dB you are sent is the actual dB that stores the SMSM/MMS data, you can do an insert from the source dB into the "live" dB.
something along the lines of attaching the source dB to the dest, dB then insert (using SQL) across the dB's.
I don't know how to, I think just changing the name the db file is the same as the live file. But I don't know hot to replace that
Could be tricky... but I don't know how to.
