Withdrawing my number from the telecom company to another person, will they be able to see my previous WhatsApp messages?
No. Even you will not be able to see past messages if you change the phone and install Whatsapp with the same number unless you backup beforehand and restore the backed-up messages on opening Whatsapp. The back-up is stored on your phone and your cloud account and is not accessible to others.

I've been using Sprite backup every time i reinstall a rom. And save my contacts, email and sms, call history etc. None of the system stuff as I like to have a clean start.
But every time I reinstall the backup, the contacts show up like usuly but when ever they call me, it shows up like a new number and ask me if I want to save it to a existing contact or new, if I choose existing contact and save the number it says I have to replace the one I got saved already because it the same number. And after i do that if the contact calls me he shows up. So its like sprite backups the contact but still doesnt really save them or something?
Anyone please? Cause its really annoying. Same with email. I get all my mails and can receive emails and send. But if I choose to edit the account. There isnt any email adress saved.
Thanks for the help!

PIM backup restorals do not work well with Manila.
It is better to use a virtual backup like Microsoft My Phone.
I'll try it out! Thanks alot mate!
I'm interested in backing up my SMS text messages...I have thousands and after a while it get's sluggish, and I have some very important messages that I need to hold on to.
I have MyBackup Pro which works nice, but you can only restore one backup...as far as I konw...and it removes all SMS messages before it restores. So I have like 10 backups all from different dates and I can only restore one set.
Is there a program that backs up SMS/MMS messages as good as MyBackup Pro to the Local SD card, but will allow you to either append new message backups to a backup already created or will let you combine and restore multiple backups? Thanks.

Oh my bad...I just saw Apps and figured it went here...Mods, feel free to move please.
Does HTC Sync have options other than just syncing the contacts with outlook? What files would contain the SMS/MMS texts? How would this work to append messages say if I deleted all the messages after a backup and then wanted to add additional messages in a backup and then restore all??? Thanks.

No one goes to the Q/A board , I think app questions/suggestions are fine here. As for the OP's question, I'm using SMS backup+, it backups sms and mms to your gmail account as well as your contacts and call logs should you require it.

BackupPro does a great job as well. I even set it up to automatically backup everything at 2am.
SMSBackup and Restore. Free and unlimited

Thanks, I've used this before....is there a way to access your SMS messages via gmail or the internet? I kinda leaned away from it because it took forever to backup...rather restore 10,000 SMS messages via online. Also, there's some information in my SMS messages that are sensative.
I've used MyBackupPro but it over-writes messages when you do a restore.
Thanks for all the suggestions. I hope I can find something that works well.

I second SMS Backup+ it saves you ur gmail and can restore.
I use this then use outlook to move texts to a new folder so when i do a restore it only restores a few messages. it is kinda slow but it works. backed up my wifes evo that had 42,000+ texts and mms. took a long time but worked.

Not sure if you're willing but if you port your number to Google Voice all your text messages are in the cloud and will sync for every device you install GV on.

dont i have to cancel my contract for that
I use SMS Backup+ and it does backup text messages done through hangouts but I cannot restore texts to hangouts from these backups.
I have read that SMS Backup and Restore does work on KitKat and our N5s but there may be a hoop or two you have to jump through.
I need to find a good auto backup and ability to restore my texts, I miss that from my previous Android phones.

Downloaded SMS Backup and restore. Downloaded the back up from my google drive . Restored the messages and a message appeared that i will have to set the default app to SMS Backup and Restore . Did that and then made Hangout the default app. all the restored messages appeared in hangout.
After this you can install any of the SMS apps from the play store like Go SMS Pro , Textra etc etc . Once this is done, Go to the settings of Hangout and uncheck the option of Hangout as the SMS app . All your text messages will now appear in the new SMS app you have downloaded from the play store.

Oh, sorry, I totally forgot that some people are still on contracts. But once your contract is up in the future that would be a viable solution.
Assuming you're on Sprint with that contract you can also integrate your Sprint number with Google Voice which will have the exact reversible effect as permanently porting it.
Besides some backup and restore solutions that some other guys left above there really isn't anything that will sync your text messages.
When I reinstalled WhatsApp it did not restore the backup. The reason was probably that I initially denied WhatsApp access to contacts. Now finally I did give WhatsApp access to contacts, and my backup about one gigabyte in size shows up in the settings. The backup is only in Google. Before wiping the phone, I checked if there is a way to create a local backup of WhatsApp, but I didn't find it anymore.
How do I restore the backup without losing new messages?
PS: I used the WhatsApp contact function to send them a message, but the message bounced:
Code:
[email protected]
host smtpin.vvv.facebook.com [2a03:2880:ff:fffd:face:b00c:0:686e]
SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data:

Hi I posted the same message to Whatsapp support but I think that this forum might provide a faster and better answer.
I suffered a broken phone and set up Whatsapp on a new phone a few days later. I set up Whatsapp fresh on the new phone without restoring a backup. In the few days before the new phone arrived I used Whatsapp web to communicate (the new version that doesn't require a phone to be online). Now after setting up Whatsapp on the new phone, when visiting the Whatsapp web site, it shows the unpaired/unconnected state with the barcode. Is it possible to extract the messages previously stored in Whatsapp web or did it throw away all data the moment it realized a new phone account was set up?
Also, I'm a (non-Android) dev, so this is also interesting to me from a technical perspective. Does Whatsapp web store messages in local storage or only the encryption keys (and the encrypted messages stay on the server)?
Thanks
