Recover SMS

Hey guys. I know this has nothing to do with the phone in general, but since everyone on this site seems to know more about these phones than the manufacturer, I figured I would ask. Is there any way to retreive deleted text messages off of 2.2 OTA update. I really need to get a hold of this information. Thanks in advance

Sms backup and restore. On the market. Stores them in a csv, so you can read them on your pc if ya want

[Q] Can you still receive and send sms/ text after you deleted mms.apk

Can you still receive and send sms/ text after you deleted mms.apk

try to freeze that apk with titanium backup and see if you can still send\receive SMS
the freezing option prevent the system from using the file without the risk of deleting it

..no if I'm right the sms functionality is included in the mms.apk.
You will have to install another sms app to receive/send sms again.

Is that mean I will not be able to receive or send text without installing another sms app? I just want to make sure that I or someone else cannot use my phone to send and receive text/sms. I want to permanently disable this function all together.

Transferring SMS/MMS from Epic 4G to S III

I have the Epic 4G, and I am *PATIENTLY* waiting for my 32GB S III to ship from Sprint. I would like to transfer over my SMS/MMS - I've used SMS Backup & Restore but I've had importing issues with it and it does not account for MMS.
I've also heard of Mighty Text, which syncs up to 6 months of SMS/MMS, but I am not sure if you can transfer what you've synced online to another phone.
I've used Titanium as well, but again, I thought there would be issues going from one device to another.
What do you guys suggest? Thanks for any help.

I would use go sms and backup the sms messages, it alsp has an option to backup mms.

Go back up should restore them as well

I think smsbak is the name of the app suggested by the cm9 epic team... check out the how to install cm9 thread over in the epic forum

[Q] How to transfer SMS/MMS to another phone

Hi all,
I have aquestion and couldn't find any reply on this forum: Does anyone know how to configure a transfer of all my incoming SMS/MMS to another number?
FYI: I got a new phone from my job and don't need to carry my Defy+ around with me all the time anymore. I set up a call transfer to receive incoming calls on the new phone but it doesn't work for messages.
What I'm looking to do is basically the same thing as setting up a rule on your e-mail to transfer everything to a second address. If I'm not clear please let me know and I'll explain.
thanks !

Anyone?

Try any sms forwarding app in play store. for eg. SMS FORWARDER (sorry, n00bs can't post links)

but every fwd msg will cost you...
you could also provide your contacts with the new number

Try SMS backup +. Can't restore MMS, but can transfer sms to other phone.

[Q] Auto Forward Text Messages 3G nexus 7

Hi,
I have recently been given a work phone and don't want to carry two phones.
I would like to keep my personal number so will continue that contract. I will set my carrier setting to auto forward calls to my work phone, but I would like a way to auto-forward SMS (text) messages to my work number, or email.
I have a nexus 7 3g and this seems like a good device to use as I can then still make use of my personal phone contract's internet access.
I installed the mms.apk app (thread found else where in this forum) and can now send and receive texts from my Nexus 7. But as it is not with me every day I want an automated way to get SMS messages to another number of email.
Does anyone know of an app which will let me auto forward SMS messages to a different number or to email? I'm happy to pay for the outbound message cost, but the only app I have found which *claims* compatibility is phoneleash and it does not forward anything.
Does anyone have a suggestion for how I can accomplish this?
Thanks
T.

You could just use an app that sends texts to the tablet like Cloud SMS. Then you could turn off the notifications on the phone.

Thanks for the reply, but I think I have not been clear with my request.
I have a personal contract which my friends know the number for.
I want to keep this SIM in my tablet but forward any SMS message sent to my personal number to a work phone, so that I can just carry the work phone.
I have found Auto SMS since my last update, but this is not compatible with the nexus 7. I will see if there is a way to get this app to work.
I will update if I get any further.

have you try mighty text? try that one first

Thanks for the further replies here.
I don't think mighty text will work, it seems to be a way to read and reply to texts received on your phone, but handled by a tablet or computer as the viewing device.
I need a way to auto forward SMS messages to a different number.
Regards
Tony.

Progress
OK, I installed auto SMS onto my touchpad and then used titanium backup to extract the application.
I've side loaded this onto my nexus 7 and so far my tests have been successful.
The auto forwarded text messages come through as
<0123 123123> Mr FirstName SecondName: Content of message
I can either call the originator back, or switch to a new message and reply back directly via SMS from the work phone.
Thanks
T.

I have the same problem as you, but I can't find auto SMS or extract the application (Nexus 7 is my only Android device).
Can you please share it somehow?
Thanks in advance!
Edit: in meanwhile I found and installed it, works well
