Wondering whether I am the only one with this issue
I SMS a lot and like keeping the SMS on my device. I had recently an extremely unpleasant surprise: my total list of conversations was back to... ONE conversation with my last SMS and... That's it!!! Thousands of SMS gone
I happen to save everything with mIQ and hopefully it's not lost. However I had the experience already twice in the past 2 weeks so I am wondering:
Is this a feature from Android? Big SMS file --> autoarchive? If then how do I disable it or how do I recover my SMS?
Is it a bug? In which case this is extremely severe and not serious for such an expensive device or for an OS that is expected to be a safe one
Is it from Samsung implementation? Or Android itself?
Please share your experience, I'd like to know if I am the only one and if there is any solution (My "old" Touch Pro 2 with WM 6.5 never lost a single SMS although having more than 30,000 SMS in the box)

Am I the only one? Several years without any loss os SMS on different WM devices and I wiuld be the only one losing them on my shiny new device with the wonderful android OS?

Ive never let my SMS get to more than 500, mainly because I don't like scrolling through congressional. Never had this issue though.

you really shouldnt keep that many sms around anyhow with android, its likely to cause some issues but did you check the settings on the sms app? mine has settings to delete threads after a certain number and is set to 200 by default.
I use a program called Backup to Gmail. Works excellent.
It let's me delete sms'es on the phone while my Gmail account keeps them all even if I delete them on the phone.
It can also restore sms'es.MMS restore is not supported yet but backup works good.

Yes of course... Besides If I had it set at 200 I would expect to keep at leats 200, not 1
I shouldn't let many with Android ? So with WM6.5 it's ok to have 20,000 SMS but Android cannot handle them ? Hum... Somethng is seriously wrong

Thanks, I know a few of these. Without being able to restore --> kind of useless for me... Actually as far as I remember some CAN restore
I am already using mIQ that works ok (though a bit slow to handle too many SMS)
why would you even want that many, its not like you are going to read through 20k sms
It's funny like the answers are more about having less SMS or why wanting that many rather than why the SMS client or the OS Re broken...
Hey man why do u need a car, just take your bicycle!
I have more than a thousand conta ts I converse regularly with. Then add a certain number of sms per conversation and u get there
Anyway I do not even have that many on my Tab... Far less than on my previous device. And this disappointing device/os/client combination cannot even manage them... What do you expe t me to do or say? Go back to my TP2? Honestly this is ridiculous
meanwhile I'd like to know if I am the only one and if someone knows some fises (other than delet my SMS or but an iPad...)

give handcent a try and use their backup service, ive never had a problem with the stock sms app, currently theres around 300txts for 20 contacts, and 50 or so for the rest.
No problem here as I don't keep a lots of sms. But had a problem with new sms going into the wrong contact profile. So, have to be extra careful not to reply to the wrong person.
Anyone faces the same problem?

Deleting would help more than the purchase of an iPad, as that uses the 3g chip to get a data connection, while both the texting and voice service are ignored.
That said... I never got this issue, but my brother has a relatively similar one: long messages tend to be split, mixed and (why not, since we are at it) partly deleted. That is on Eclair using an Xperia X10 mini pro.
Never had this kind of issue when i was at my peak of sms usage: store on the MMC, and there you go, thousands of sms on a puny Nokia 3650.

Hi charliebrown
I have the same problem. Trying to change from my iphone to a good cell phone I'm changing to my new love "HTC ONE S". I'm surfing the web since two days but without finding any solution.
It should be possible somehow cause I found a nice migrate software for the sms. I could copy more than 5'000 SMS within minutes. Pretty amazing. If this could be helpful for you - check out http://faked.org/isms2droid/

Download iPhone WhatsApp to Android Transfer to help. It lets you migrate and merge whatsapp chat history with attachments from iPhone to Android directly on computer. Easy to use. Hope it can help.
WhatsappMigrator not opening/working
I'm not able to open this WhatsappMigrator website.
Update: As suggested by NuttyBunny in a reply below, I even tried to open it in Chrome browser on my Windows laptop but this site isn't opening. I found another program (http://www.easyphonerecovery.com/transfer-whatsapp-chat-history-messages-iphone-to-android.html) that can transfer WhatsApp chat from iPhone to Android. Someone recommended it on Android stackexchange site. This program is working flawlessly. :good: You can use it to migrate chat history from iPhone to Android.

Getting a new phone is always an exciting time. Then the realization sets in that you have to figure out how to get information from your old phone to the new one.
For the most part, a lot of the stuff we rely on is synced through various cloud services such as Google or Apple's iCloud and the transfer process is as simple as signing in on your new device.
But what about the stuff you don't sync, like SMS conversations? Or what if you're switching from iPhone to the new Galaxy S7? Enter Samsung's Smart Switch app.
Smart Switch is built into Samsung's Galaxy devices, and you'll also find a USB adapter included in the box with your phone. Don't lose it! That seemingly useless piece of plastic is the magical part of Smart Switch.
Transfer WhatsApp (with attachments) from iPhone (6S) to Android Y9 (2018)/Honor 8X/8C
Hello Developers! I have spoken to quite a few IT professionals and googled but have not found a solution for this issue. I have even purchased dr.fone Wondershare (Restore Social App) but that too gets stuck at 99%. My WhatsApp data is about 17GB and I would really like to transfer my WhatsApp from iPhone on to a new Android phone. Please help!
Okay, so at school on the Wi-Fi, I cannot log into Pandora, or Facebook. However, my friend on his droid can log in, as well as my other friend with her 4S. Now you need to access a portal to login to the Wi-Fi, but I logged onto my Wi-Fi on his Android and it is still unblocked even though on my Nexus 5 Pandora and Facebook is blocked. He logged into his Wi-Fi on my Nexus 5 and it's still blocked.
Why would only certain apps not work on my Nexus 5 on the WiFi but on their phones it still works? I'm really confused? Even if I login to the WiFi on my account on their phone it's still blocked...

You just solved your issue. Obviously your account has a restriction on it for accessing social sites, and their accounts don't. If you're blocked when using their phone, that's the only answer.
No one can help you here.... You need to ask your account administrator.
Good luck!

Oh... And your account must also restrict your particular device.

No, that isn't the case. Because if I login to my account on THEIR phone, it works. Only on my Nexus 5 does those apps not work. So, no, it isn't my account. Also they work on my Inspire 4G but again, not my Nexus 5.

Perhaps you should edit post 1 to make sense then because you said the opposite as per the quote.
It doesn't make sense. I brought my old phone to school and FB works and everything. Nexus 5? Nope. My Nexus 5 won't load it, like it's blocked but its not. Guess I'll bring my old phone if I want to use Wi-Fi at school for FB? I mean Wi-Fi works. I can search and go on Instagram. But FB? No.
Any ideas?? I also had to flash stock this weekend due to a boot loop. So that isn't it.

I'd speak to the school initially. Perhaps they have a rule that somehow affects your device but not others... Maybe they intent to block it all but it is only working for you.

Perhaps you're right, FB is blocked on desktop computers. And mobile browsers but apps on iOS and I guess other Androids besides my N5 it's unblocked. Maybe it's something with stock Android.

Or the traffic protocols are different for apps than web and thusly the admins forgot to block them.
Spoiler
Now I do not condone this action, however on desktop and web browsers there is a work around (sometimes) just add https:// before the social network site. Ex.https://www.Facebook.com
Or if it is blocked like that try http:// instead.
Again, if you get caught and punished because this works, I am not at fault.

No lol it's the actual apps themeselves. FB just says there id no connection, Pandora loads infinitely but on my Inspire, another droid and an iPhone it works just fine. It isn't my account because I signed into the WiFi on their phones and their apps still loaded.
Dear Friends , I just bought my Huawei Ascend Mate 7 MTL 10 32 GB, now with me for one week, I think it is a great device really, i call him the Father of my all mobiles before!. anyhow, I have two problems annoying me , The first one is that e mails reaches the inbox without notifying me once they arrived neither by sound, nor by icon in the notification bar. I have tried every possible setting that you can imagine. more i have searched online, but it seems that it is my only problem(or no one reported it yet)
The notification with sound and in the notification bar only happens when i open the e mail app. it happens mostly with the built in apps (that i setup for my Hotmail and Yahoo) otherwise the gmail app is doing fine.
My second problem is that My Volvo S60 Infotainment system is not fully compatible with the Bluetooth of my new HM7 , as i was able to use Kakao and Viber with my car speakers before with my Samsung Galaxy S5 but now I cannot with HM7.
I really appreciate anyone response about that.
Thanks
you are not a lone
Dear Friend,
don't worry , i have the same issue and still not finding any solution , it is a global issue not only for you and me.

Same problem also for P7 modell of my collegue...seems to be a EMUI problem with certain (customer) applications (Whatsapp also...).
For email I managed it by using GMAIL and application called UNREAD BADGES FOR GMAIL, in other words a widget designed for GMAIL app and available in the GOOGLE STORE (free) and it works. You have to set up well the energy consumption settings and the notification settings, and then it should work.
Well, thank you all for your support and comments, as a matter of fact, few days after i posted my problem here , i spent almost half a day searching for a solution in this forum and over the internet and my conclusion is , Do not waste your time find a solution because there is non, some people having notification with e mail only like myself, others has it with Whatsapp( more annoying) , i read a full thread here in this forum about every possible solution for the problem, from settings of notifications , power saving , Network settings for data and Always on Wifi. Actually reading that thread was extremely interesting, some people are trying to help the one who started the thread (Mr)(Microdog), others sarcastic and Microdog desperately wants to solve the problem as he likes the phone so much (just like myself) and then at the end guess what? the guy decided to sell the phone! and others persuading him to wait, it was so so funny. i loved it. although , i did not find the solution for my problem but i realized that we human beings have remarkable built in desire to help each other no matter anything( I am not religious by the way) , any how , i decided to live with the condition till the new update will come by end of January or February 2015 may be it will solve the problem, because trust me this is one of the best phones that i have ever had!

NB: I think in one of the posts , there is someone is doing some app to fix the problem, i tried it and it is not working , and unfortunately it delayed all the e mail notifications more , so i had to uninstall it and did hard rest, so please take care.

Well, that is a disappointment, I was expecting this guys in Huawei will fix that issue with the new update. I think maybe the problem is in their EMUI . We have to raise this problem to Huawei again.

It is the stock email app, although i do experience times where i miss sound notifications, when i have switched between vibration and silent modes. I can't seem to figure out the trigger.
As for email, I use Aquamail, but have also used , cloudmagic, k9, blue mail and boxer, all notifications worked (i tested a bunch to see which had best push times and battery usage).
The notifications worked on all third party email apps for me, so i think it may be an inherent problem with the stock app, but could also be a system wide issue as i do get sound drop outs for some apps randomly as I mentioned before. I have checked all the notification, power settings, screen off etc.. so i think it may be a system bug, corrects on reboot. Hopefully next update fixes it.

i sent many emails to Huawei support team but i didn't receive any feedback from them since 10 days

Go to settings > protected apps and protect them. Otherwise they may be unprotected and closed when you close the applications. In order to receive the notifications, the application must be running in the background to work. It consume more battery but there is no other way.

Is there any way of getting around the Google Play deauthorization limit? I had the OP5, and was flashing different P ROMs. Last week I chatted with Google support and, they provided me the one-time reset of my devices, maxed out my number of devices and couldn't deauthorize even though I hadn't done so in over a year.
I'm probably going to stick with OOS with this phone, just wary of updating stock ROMs through TWRP and it counting against my device limit. Or do y'all use YouTube Music or Spotify?

I had the same problem. The guys at Google reset my whole device list twice this year !
But at the end i went for Spotify. Because it doesn't have a real device limit, and other things (daily mixes and Clock app integration, and because my old account at college never has be deactivated, so Spotify still allows me the student discount )
But i suppose you could just email them each time you reach the limit, and explaining you're just flashing ROMs, they wouldn't refuse to reset the device list, as it clearly shows the same device multiple times. They can perform this "one-time reset" more than once haha !

I've had it reset twice within a year. It's B.S. though you can only deauthourize 4 in 12 months. What do they care as long as it doesn't exceed the limit. They where hesitant the last time and acted like it was a process even though I know they just flip a switch. Took about 20 min or being on hold. But I said I am a rom tester on xda and they accepted that answer.

All i know is I've never had any problem finding anything ! In my case, everything I like to listen to is on both services, they are pretty on par about 90% functionality.
GPM has a better preloading mechanism, Spotify has better suggestions, but that's it.
About the resetting on GPM, I also told them that the same device was registered countless times due to flashing ROMs regularly, they understood and didn't ask for more !

I've restored a rom backup before and it stayed registered. So there is a file or a combination of files that will work, I just have not found it. I was thinking it may be the Google play services data combined with android ID and the system private app files for play music, but titanium backup doesn't restore that stuff properly so I gave up.
