Hey, I accidentally delete a text message (had not even saved the number), is there any way to get it back?,I got a samung s4!
I'm not sure that I'' be too helpful and have always wondered the same thing. A quick web search reveals there are some utility programs out there that are PC based. It looks like deleted messages are left floating around in the phones memory until the memory space is overwritten. it appears the utility can possibly access this unassigned space to retrieve the deleted message. I guess its kind of like the utilities to retrieve deleted PC files and such. Probably worth a shot if you haven't received a bunch of text messages since you deleted the one you want to retrieve.
All I have seen about recovery was with the PC and never be in a Mobile. But, if it possible for the computer's storage then it is also possible for the mobile as well. But. time is a factor here. If it's not too late then you can try some softwere like Mobile Phone SMS Recovery, Recover Deleted Text Messages etc. One thing is must here that you must connect your mobile phone to a computer.
hi,you think you got any links to that program you talked about?

Hi could some one please help me delete some old partnerships in activesync, I use windows XP and activesync 3.7.1, everything works fine, but as i keep installing crap on my old XDA and also the new XDA-2 i oftern hard reset and then reinstall new or different programs.
The problem is each time i do this i have to make a new name for the partnership, i.e john-xda, john_xda, johns-xda etc etc, i have about 20 existing names listed , I know this is not the end of the world but it is anoying, and when you go to send a file via IR or BT from the laptop up comes a list of at least 20 old xda partnership names to choose from.
Please any ideas how to delets all of them apart from the one thats currently in use
Thanks
John
have you tried under activesync ? would seem logic to make it possible to delete partnerships from there
otherwise you can delete the folder made by the patnership under
my documents
Thanks for the ideas, I have looked in activesync but there are no options there to delete them, I have deleted the folders in my documents ( and the desk top short cuts to them) but when i try and send a file i still get shown the list of 20 plus names to send to, but the real problem is you cant use the same name twice.
thanks for trying tho
john
have you tried doing a search in regedit on the pc
it would be a typical place to store them
Go to ActiveSync while there's no device plugged in. Then select 'File', "Delete Partnership' until they're all gone.
Thanks Peter thak worked fine, i had looked in activesync but this was with a device connected.
thanks for bot of you for your help
John
is it possible to 're-link' the old partnership with an XDA after a hard reset?
b
why would you want to ?
you can still use the same name
you can still get access to all the files
you can still get access to the backup
so then why do you want the get the old patnership ?
just thought it might be easier than deleting the old partnership and creating a new one.
Also, do you know if the SMS messages are stored when the XDA syncs up? If so, how do I get the back onto my phone after a hard reset?
Cheers,
B
Old Partnership
If when you delete the partnership you answer no to delete files and the XDA has the same name the new partnership will use the same link area (/my documents/pocketpcXXmy documents)
ah HA! Awesome. But do you know about the text messages (SMS)?
B
Hi. If you had a partnership with your pc when you first synchonized and now you hard-reset your device, you might want to delete the old partnership if you don't need its documents anymore. That could be done in a very easy way even when the device is not connected. the steps are:
-Turn on pc
-double click active sync incon without connecting the device
-go to file>mobile device and select the partnership's name you wanna delete, when selected a big black dot will appear next to it.
-then file>delete parnership
Done!
Fantastic!! Although that still doesn't really answer my question :wink:

you cant sync sms's back if you took a backup and restore it you get the sms back or if you used the tool at yorch.net
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)
I'm pretty sure that it is not available yet, but anyone with any news concerning this? I use whatsapp quite alot to keep in touch with my friends and family, and having the availability to use it on the TF would just make things alot better.
I previously use it on a SD version of android on my HD2, but it crashes often and the backup is a pain, needing to switch back to windows and transfer to prevent data corruption and have faster transfer speeds.
Thanks.
Just received an email from the developer 2 days ago...tablets are not supported for the time being...
Thats just sad. Hopefully they'll develop it soon. Thanks so much.
what I did, I had made a backup from whatsapp with titanium from my HTC desire. installed titanium on the Eeepad, copied the backup to the TF, put the program and data back, and voila! A working Whatsapp. The message you send from the TF, will offcourse not be vissable on your other device, answers sometimes comes double (if both devices are online). I recommend to only use one device at the time
I tried a similar way but once I installed then opened the app it said device not sported

I got the TB restore way to work, but I can't get any of my contacts to show up. I have the same contact list on my TF as I do on my phone, so it should still see their phone numbers (or whatever it uses to match up contacts to Whatsapp users) in their contact info on my TF, but it doesn't.
It is true that you don't see the contact list in whatsapp.
Because I restored the program data, I only see the contact in the "chats" screen, I have talked before, from the moment th backup was made. So I can not send a message to anyone I havn't send a message before.
I also don't see the contact names, I only see the telephone number.
So I don't know what will happen if anyone sending you a message who is who hasn't send a message before (someone who is not in the chats list already).
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.
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
