I am trying to find an app or something that I can use to open PDU files on my note 20 ultra. There are both sms and MMS files. I've tried WinZip and also Notepad ++. I was able to open the sms but I can't read it and I changed the language several times. I can't get the MMS to open at all. I would appreciate any help. I've been working at this for 3 days now. I'm currently using my phone for this, which I prefer. But if I need to use my PC or my iPad,I have those available as well.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Hello all!
I've been having a real nightmare moving my SMS messages from my Sony Ericsson P990 (running UIQ 3) to my beloved HTC Trinity.
I knew it will be a problem, but since I do a lot with computers I wanted to try it.
My first try was to export SMS messages on my P990i to a .cvs file. All went ok, I got the file and so far I made a quick script to convert it to xml file and later import it in my Trinity via SMS backup tool i've found. When trying to import all dates were messed up, even tho i saw them correct in the file, but the SMSes were actually imported!
Then, I changed a few things and now it doesn't accept my XML files - there must be dome special characters inside but it's just too hard to find them with 400 messages inside.
The next idea I came up with about an hour ago was to copy all sms messages to my SIM and then copy them back on my Trinity. So far, I discovered that my SIM card holds a maximum of only 18 SMS messages Even tho, I didn't have any of the SMS SIM->Phone software on my HTC.
I really want to keep these messages and am struggling a few days
Anyone has any ideas what else could I try?
I am having difficulty viewing a vcard received via text message. My phone recognizes it's an MMS but views it as a Multimedia file and tries to play it.
My phone (EVO) is rooted running Cyanogen 7.0.1.2 and I'm using the builtin messaging app. I don't want to use handcent or an alternative messaging app.
I have taken a screenshot of what I'm experiencing
There doesn't seem to be a solution to this..
android cant get vcard i think.
someonew please build a fix or hack for it ...
its been too long that noone could solve it
vCard
That's not true Miui can send and receive vCards and I have used other roms including those based on Cm10 that could do the same I think you need a modded mms.apk Easiest would be to use Miui.

iam saying about vcard sent as sms (not mms)
when my friends sent vcard as sms b y their nokia,sony etc i dont even receive that sms in my mobile .
and thee no option to sent sms either ...
is there any solution for this ?
go sms
Have you tried Go sms or Handcent?
yaa i had tried both but no use
I've been searching forever for an app that will handle Vcards sent to my S3 via a Blackberry or iPhone. The MMS comes in blank on my text app (8ms messsaging) or even stock messaging app, but there's no way to view the vcard attachment.
Enter "Save MMS Attachemtns" app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobappli.savemms
Opening it brings up a list of all of your MMS messages within your text threads. The interface isn't very advanced and I haven't played with it enough to be able to select just one MMS, but regardless...clicking save will export all MMS to a folder on your phone entitled "SaveMMS"
From there, you'll need to delete the extra extension text after ".vcf"
Now click on it to open with your vcard handler app. I use DW Dialer as it's way better than stock Google dialer. It takes 8 seconds to respond after clicking, but it will import to your contacts.
This is far from an elegant fix, but if you receive vcards for work like me, you need something that will work, no matter how involved.
If anyone has a better way, let us know but a big thanks to the dev for writing this.
Hi guys.
I've been working on vCards on Android for few years. If you wanna check my app bizCard Manager. It supports sending and receiving (importing) MMS vCards too.
But to be honest, many current davices has MMS vCards suport built in nowdays.
Hi all, I'm using an unrooted HTC Wildfire and yesterday all of my texts just disappeared - about 8000 in total. I think it was after I recieved a text from someone. I reasoned that the messages have to still be on the phone somewhere due to the fact that data is just marked as overwritable, or am I wrong about that? Either way, I hunted through the SD card with some file recovery software (PC Inspector File Recovery, to be precise) and found a few files that may be useful - "com.gb.gosms-1.asec" in "android_secure" that's 4.09MB (about the right size for the data my messaging app was reading in the "Settings>Applications", and "40123", found in "LOST.DIR" that is 14.0MB, probably too large but the closest I could find as the other two in that directory were only a few hundred kilobytes.
I can't open any of them - I tried "40123" as .db and .xml files and the .ASEC file seems to be an encrypted Android file.
I'm looking for a few things, I guess - Where should I look to use the file recovery software to find the old SMS files? How do I open a .ASEC file, and might it be the right one? And does anyone know of any way to recover my texts? I just would quite like to recover my texts as there are some important ones on there!
Many thanks in advance, and sorry if I am repeating anything, I ran a search but couldn't find anything.
P.S., I am using GoSMS, but my stock messaging app is just as empty!
Why do you have 8,000 texts on your phone? Typically any SMS app you download will automagicly delete any texts once you collect a certain amount.
I like to keep all my messages so I can know what has been said and because there are some important texts in there, and I just double checked and couldn't find any settings like that in there, but I know it's disabled on my stock app and I had conversations ranging from about 5000 to 2 or 3 texts, but thanks for the suggestion!
I did, however, find a thing saying that I had sent 1900 messages in total, or thereabouts, which is a lot more than I sent since the messages went missing, a lot less than I have sent since I got the phone. Perhaps it is from when I started using Go SMS, but is it indicative of the messages still being on the phone somewhere?
Yes it is since you got Go sms because the stock messanging app doesn't count how many was sent. And no that doesn't mean that they are on your phone. It is simply a built in counter allowing you to keep track of your messages in case you don't have an unlimited messaging plan. Try downloading a file explorer and searching for your texts, that should all be backlogged onto your phone somewhere. Chances are though that the messages where deleted. Linux will overwrite information in order to better utilize your memory space. I recommend to back up any messages, or lock the ones you want kept to avoid this in the future.
Thanks very much, I'll do that
As per my original message, does anyone know how to open a .ASEC file?
My phone was locked to T-world, but it's now rooted and ready to go! BUT i have one problem and that is SMS. I'm limited to a maximum of 80 letters. obviously that is not even close to what I want and almost all my texts are longer than 80.
I need to type in my own phone number too, seriously annoying.
My question is..
is it possible to just replace the whole SMS bit from my phone with the one in the regulare GS2? If this is possible (fingers crossed), how do I do that? I'm a n00b with android and the entire operating system, so go easy on me .
I tried various kinds of SMS applications, however none of them work. With the stock SMS app I can send/receive sms, but with the other apps it's not working at all.
Another tip I got was to find a jolly old phone and type in my phone nr there in the settings as a simple "hack", but I tried a few phones but can't seem to find this option in any of them.
My phone is rooted, and ready to be dug into.
Please help me out guys (and gals)
I really want a fix for this, please help
sms
I was able to get Go SMS PRO (free on Google Play Market) to work and I can send 160 character messages if that will help you out.
handcent sms
download handcent sms app from google play open it go to settings>send message settings>scroll down and you will see this option ''if you are using a samsung'' and check this option.its working with me.
So I have what I thought would be a simple question but I have been unable to find a solution online or in past XDA threads.
I have a Samsung galaxy note 2, with hundreds of sms message w/pictures. Rather then opening the messages one at a time and saving attachment. I am wondering if there is a way, or a tool that could simply scan all of my SMS/MMS messages and strip all the pictures at once into a folder.
Has anybody figured this out?
