I've lost my draft message on a Samsung S7 today.
When I get ideas, concepts, I tend to type it in the default "messages" app and send it to myself. However for the past couple of days, I’ve been accumulating it.
Today instead of sending the accumulated text to myself. I created a new text message and send it to my own number.
This overrides my personal inbox and removes the draft. Is there anyway that I can retrieve the draft from perhaps android’s draft,delete,text,message,bin folder?
Am willing to go to the ends of the earth to retrieve it back.
Thanks a million!!
I don't think we can recover draft messages because when you created a new messages draft, you have overwritten the message instead of deleted an existing message.

As many of you know being on Verizon comes with some special privileges such as sending and receiving messages 1000 characters long, adding emoticons and animations, seeing when someone has read your message (the little box that changes from an arrow to a check). But unfortunately these features are absent on many smart-phones including the HTC Touch Pro 2. Perhaps some of you computer savvy people could develop a patch to utilize these advanced utilities that Verizon offers?
yeah but the thing is. you can only send one message 160 charater limit if ther person is not on verizon. with GSM (att/tmobile) yeah theres still a 160 limit but after it goes past that limit it creates a new message. and if i want one long txt with smileys i can just do it in a MMS message
so to get those featues like EMS (smileys in txt sounds)you just have to do it in pic message.
Actually, with verizon it will break up the message into multiple 160 character messages and send it all out. I have been able to send 600+ character messages and it breaks them up and is received individually, the only caveat is after the last message it also sends out a "preceding message modified, media items have been removed" (or something to that effect) message, which i find annoying as hell but at least it works. Might not on all vzw phones, but all smart/pda phones i have used it does this. Maybe its is something with the arcsoft messaging client but vzw is the only one i have seen that sends out the extra message at the end of the rest of them.
Sorry to dig up a old thread, just came by it while researching another issue.
I know this doesn't answer your question the way you want, but the real solution here is to use MMS or email, not SMS! Email can handle attachments and high character counts.
As noted above, these non-standard features only work if both the sender and receiver are on the same system. Anyone outside of Verizon isn't going to be able to see your smilies or whatever.
This is by design, and isn't a bug or programming shortfall. "SMS" stands for "Short Message Service." My belief is that if one can't convey what needs to be said within the character limit of a single text message, it's better to use email or voice.
Non android developer here..
Very familiar with adb and the 'nix command line..
I run Textra as my SMS/MMS application.
This program has no way to limit the amount of saved messages.
I just backed up and restored almost 10k messages.. from my whatever count contacts..
I am looking for how I would parse the messages db and keep the last 200 or whatever messages in each contact.
If I were to use a different sms app, it would invoke the limit -when- I sent a message or -when- I received a message from them.
Not looking to send a message to everyone saying "Trimming my database. Please do not respond. Thanks."
Thank you in advance.
Hi there, I am currently having a bit of an urgent dilemma.
Basically, I'm wanting to send messages to a group of people, however every time I get this message propping up that there is a large number of messages.
Additionally, how on earth are you even meant to send group messages to people that you have grouped under the same group in contacts??? I'm lost with this new GUI.
Someone PLEASE save me.

Got it. Appreciate your assistance!

Recently Whatsapp introduced the identification of original messages and forwarded messages by putting "Forwarded" at the head of the text. But many messages are being forwarded which are old and causing confusion to recipients as to its validity, especially in crisis situations like floods and earthquakes etc. Putting date and time stamp on original messages and it appearing whenever the message is forwarded will show how old the message is. This does not violate privacy and is easy to implement. Can this forum help in getting this done?
