is there a way to save sms text messages to the memory ? or one individual message of a conversation thread ?
im interesting too
anyone know somethng?
Sorry, but I really don't get what you're asking.
Could you explain what you want and why you want it? All your texts are (obviously) stored on the phone, so why do you want any other storage?
i think he meant to export the smses
yes, sorry i wasnt very clear. i was getting fed up with sms's taking so long to load up that i thought id save (export) them somewhere and clear the memory to hopefully speed things up , anyway ive got the latest official sms fix and its speeded things up substantially.
im still interested in how you export sms's though so if i have some important info i want to save for a long time i can , ie transfer to mr external hard drive somehow ?? thanks in advance

I use Microsoft MyPhone to back up all the data on my phone each night, and if I go to the web interface and archive the text messages, it deletes them off my phone next time I sync. They're still safe in the online store, and can be un-archived at any time and therefore synced back to the phone again.

There is a NEW SMS update which resolves the SMS loading issue plus providing a few more enhancements. I have installed directly to phone and works and it should. I can now start replying to a message while the long conversation thread loads in the background.
thanks guys, yes i have the update and its much better, ill try the microsoft backup suggestion.
All of my text messages are very very important and personal to me. I carefully saved every single of them into my email and computer so I won't lost a "single" of them. That is the reason why I went for android platform because there is an application (My Backup Pro) that helps me to back up all the important texts I have with my family and my wife. The disaster struck when i upgraded my android phone to the Nexus One from the G1. The new message app in the nexus one has a "Delete old messages" option on the default which I completely acknowledged nothing about it thus I did not disable that option, so it started to delete all my messages when they reached to the certain amount number of text messages. When i noticed i was in a big shocked stage, I am extremely unhappy. I called Tmobile to see if they can send me a copy of all the contents of the texts that were deleted, they offered no help for that sort of request neither Nexus One Customer Support Department can do anything about it. To my knowledge, when a data is being "deleted", it's not really gone forever instead it is being compressed to a smaller value for saving space purpose or it's lying somewhere inside the flash memory and waiting for the new data to overwrite it. I did spend weeks of research and calling for help but I could not find any help. If any developer or anyone could help me to recover the deleted text messages in my Nexus One, I would be really happy and greatly appreciate your help. I will pay you a big reward, the reward is your choice. Anything you want. Thank you very very much for your help. My phone is not rooted yet and I haven't done the hard reset. So I guess the data is still in the flash memory, we just need to get them out.
So you went for android platform because of My Backup Pro but you didn't make any backup with it before upgrading to the N1?
Anyway.. I don't think deleted SMS messages will be recoverable... sorry
I've never seen anyone even want to accomplish this goal.. or cared about their texts in such way..
I dont know for sure, but I would assume this is something you wont be able to do.. hope you find a way I guess.
unfortunately the messages do not get saved on the sd card but rather on the phone. There does exist software that recovers lost data from Hard drives, sd cards, etc. But the messages were deleted from the phone itself and its hard to say this but you wont be able to recover it! just remember to always backup for next time and make sure you get rid of the "delete all messages" and dont forget that after a large number of text, they seem to all get deleted at once even if you dont have that option selected. it has happened to me after about 4000 texts! and not once but three times already. thats why i always backup and if i ever lose any text it will be under 100's. and also remeber to backup the backups of Backup Pro, LOL! Sd cards die as well, so you never know! so try saving a copy to your pc and by the way if your text are that imprtant then remeber that hard drives from PC'S die as well and you never know either, so backup as well and Remeber lol that you can burn it onto a cd every once in a while!
Good Luck
Yeah I hate to say you are s.o.l. with the old messages. all you can do is look how to prevent this in the future. 1. use Google voice or 2. download the sms2email app
I delete my text messages on a daily basis. I just have no use for them after I read them once. This seems important to you, so I do hope you find a way of recovering them. Good luck!
wow what kind of messages have you received that you want them back so bad?

Naughty ones.
If you have the data backed up with mybackup pro, u can inspect the files in: /sdcard/rerware/MyBackup/
Followed by whatever name u gave em. you can restore it from there too. i think they're stored in sqlite3 but, i tried restoring some data i had backed up to sqlite3 and it couldn't re-create the db cuz it was kinda encrypted.
hope that helps. maybe u could try emailing the dev of MyBackup Pro?

If you backup your msgs into email, why did you not use "SMS Backup" (by Christopher Studer) instead or a similar tool which does real-time backup? It adds your message proactively into gmail under a certain label. That is time saved for you.
Also, as others have pointed out, you can not recover your messages, unless you had an auto-backup of that saved to your SD card. In that case, even if your SD card was wiped or formatted, you could essentially perform a recovery using a disk recovery application.
Thank you very much for all the comments. I guess there is no help. I will try to call Tmobile again to see if they can send me contents of the the text messages.

T-Mobile cannot send you the contents of the text messages, they do not open up and read your texts, nor do they save that burst of data, that would be an insane amount of data to save, as well probably an illegal invasion of privacy.

Yeah, Tmobile is of no help! They cannot look at your text messages as they will be violating your rights! neither would they backup something that they have no use for!
You should really look into Google Voice or something similar in the future. That way all of your text messages are available online at all times - like email. Very, very useful.
I have been saved so many times by that service.
texts are saved i think for a certain amount of time on servers. Look at the Kwame Kilpatrick case in Detroit for example. In order to get them though you would need a search warrant to gain access to those files.
Tmobile say they would but only if the police or law enforcement involve in order for them to pull out the contents, in this case i dont know what to do. The only way get the contents back is to access to my wife iphone but the problem is her iphone also has the auto delete old sms. I did lots of researches on recovering the deleted sms on iphone and there are a few methods but im not certain because im not a tech savvy. So i have her iphone in hand and it has not been synced for months. Is there a possiblility to recover the conversations i had with her that are also had been deleted in her iphone? The reason i want get those conversations back because they involve in our large business deals. Please help.
Hey, I have PM'd you some info to help you retrieve txt msgs of an
iphone...
hope it works...
I also archive every text message. To make sure that I won't lose them, I backup them on WaveSecure (free for Android until March 31!!) and SMS Backup & Restore app. Both of them can be found on the Market. WaveSecure is an anti-theft app that also backups SMS, call logs, and files on their servers. SMS Backup & Restore (and Call Logs Backups & Restore by the same developer) saves an XML file to your SD card. You can easily email the XML to yourself.
If you were using GOOGLE VOICE on your GOOGLE Android phone there would be no issue.

WHOA!!!
hahahhaa, i lost a few also while trying different ROMs, but we don't go admitting to them! hahahaa.
I sincerely hope that the original poster, phuthanvinh, can find a solution for this with T-Mobile.
It seems pretty lame that they would offer to fix this IF law enforcement was involved.
i am t-mobile user. and installed app - wm5reloadls
so i set up regional korean as well
recieved sms from other phone is no problem...
but i trying to send sms to someone then i got reply from t-mobile
which is
Unable to send message to 19177777777.
Please try again without a symbol in the text

they ask me to set up and check box from sms setting
(use unicode when necessary)
i did............. no working as well....... damn it.....
help me....... to fix problem brother or sister
Hi!
Just registered to answer your question...
You need to upgrade the firmware of your iphone.
I use the 4.0.2 version and the "symbols" work and before it didn't (I had the same problem as you).
It's better if you use the 4.0.1 or 4.0 since the MMS doesn't work on the 4.0.2 yet...
Save all your contacts, SMS, Calendar, Notes, etc etc before doing that!
You'll have to restore your phone first and then upgrade to the version you want
Since you use Tmobile, you'll have to go thru the process of jailbreak and unlock.
Take care.

Boy are you lost lol This is for the HD 2 not the Iphone
To my knowledge the problem is you are trying to send a message to a network other than tmobile.
I'm using tmo USA right now,I can send a message containing symbols(characters) to a tmobile usa device but not an AT&t account.
And as you said, receiving messages is not a problem though.
Anyone know of how to retrieve deleted messages on the Xperia X10
I'm pretty sure text messages are saved on the phone rather than the sim (ruling out any sim retrieval programs you can buy on the net) but I may be wrong.
My best friend is having problems with her daughter getting mixed up with the 'wrong' people if you know what I mean. She wants to check the messages sent and deleted on her daughters phone. (she's tried talking to her etc but to no avail so is getting desperate) She's not very techy at all and can only switch on and make a call on a mobile. Not that I'm claiming to be much of a tech myself.
Anyway she asked me if I could help....
I can't seem to find any way of storing sent messages like on other phones so that's that idea gone, just wondered if anyone had any ideas or advice.....
Regarding the messages..... ??
Thanks x
Social services me thinks

..
Hmmmmm Social Services is about as much help as............... but thanks for the advice.
I'm guessing nobody can help then?
Thanks anyway x
Hello,
The screen on my S8 has become cracked enough to push me to a new phone, OnePlus Nord 2. I have noticed a significant number of my text messages have been in samsung messenger chat format. I would like to backup these messages and be able to have access to them, preferrably from my new phone. I know of SMS and MMS backup apps, but nothing for samsung chat format. Does anyone know of a way I can do this?
unfortunately and solution will need to be without root, because I have the SM-G950W with Android 9 and firmware 6, and I haven't found a way to root it (if you know a way to root it as wel that would be great too, much easier to transfer info from one phone to the other)
