is it possible to lock the SMS inbox to prevent unauthorised access at all?
Thoughts and solutions as always welcome.
Thanks
Pete
suppose it could be possible with 3th party software
but why not just put a password on the whole pda ?
it's already supported and would protect your data much more
should anybody steal the pda
hear hear
password protecting the Inbox would be very useful - and other folders for that matter.
The scenario in my case is not resolved by password protecting the whole PDA since you may wish to give someone access to the PDA - to play a game for instance. If there is no way of protecting your data beyond that then there's nothing stopping them having a nose around or doing damage (accidental or mallicous) whilst 'playing'.
I'd be interested to hear more on this. I'll have a look for 3rd party stuff in the meantime.

This is a must have 3rd party tools but still have some bug and errors
getting it to work
this is brilliant!! ...but it doesn't work.
Has anyone been able to get this program working?
I've installed the two files into: \Windows on my phone
I then run the .exe file and the program starts. I've been able to set up a password.
I've set up a new Category for contacts: Hide
and set the contact's category (whose messages are to be hidden) to: Hide
I then go to SMSHide 1.0 and select "Hide Messages" from the Messages menu and a msgbox reports that "0 messages hided succussfully".
For what it's worth, a test to see if any of my messages have been protected goes to show that they haven't. No password is required, the messages can just be accessed as normal.
Also when I turn Autohide ON, the program interface becomes inaccesible - it just shows "SMSHide v.10 " in the title bar.
You kind of worry that, being this buggy, it'll go and lock all your messages and they'll be locked out for good!!
Pity cos we really need something like this.
anyway I've posted these comments to the developer and wait on them or anyone else here who's had success getting back to me.
me either.. its not working.
Hope somebody out there who can help our predicament. this is a very important utility and I know most of PDA users are needing this. In this way we can share our PDA to our friends without fear of letting them snoop in our small secrets...
possible solution
hi there:
have you seen the following thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23057
somebody else started it up and I found at least one answer to the problems I mentioned. have a look
You guys must be doing some serious adultry!!! I just have another fone for the ladies! Seriously, finding sms messages from other women seems to be no 1 reason for relationship breakdown these days!
I'd like a whole seperate hidden area of files and sms on my xda, away from prying eyes?
that site was already posted. I tried it and it seems to work. The problem is, if you happen not to hear the message tone, you will not know that you have a message so you have to hide and unhide all the time for checking. You also have to set all your contacts to private and hide category.
Maybe in the future, there will be a new software that will just hide the whole things easily.
Hi everybody,
Sorry if this is a repeat of a thread, but I searched and searched and could not find anything on this specific topic.
I'm looking for a program or a somewhat simple way of editing the date on my text messages. I have a bunch that got "2016-ified" and I'd love them to appear below the new texts that are coming in. As you can understand this is driving me nuts.
Does anybody know of ANYTHING that can do this?
thanks for reading and any ideas would be awesome.
I found this:

you can use Jeyo Mobile Companion. You can download all your sms messages into a single xml file. then you can manually edit the xml and upload it back to your phone.
Hi all
got little big problem. I mistakenly deleted one conversation in inbox. It is at this time 780 in/out come SMS/MMS. communication fall into Deleted items folder. Question: How do i undelete these? I was trying to order by name and mark them to undelete but not possible to mark selection on HD2.
Any hints how to undetele generally more messages together? I lost importance of Deleted items folder, if i can't udelete items in it other then one by one.
Thanx,
Ondrej
Same problem here, accidentally deleted some important sms. is there a way to get them back?
Okay, there is a program named Jeyo (manager?/smth like that). - the name is "Jeyo Mobile Companion" I got it, there is possibility to moving messages between folders, i hope that this should help me. But there was still not time to connect a phone and do that There is only thing i am afraid - in deleted folder, is may be not possible to see deference between "sent" and "incoming" messages, hope that there will be some other key that can recognize this, to able to order - mark - move to expected folder.
I let U know once i found working solution.

Click to collapse
I remember it, yet I didn't bother to save the link, as for some reason I had that logging already off on my custom rom
Hi, well the S4 now has a way of adding a number to auto block texts which is great as you do not need a seperate app.
I was wondering if there is a way to back this up or will a restore from my google account if i ever wiped my phone automatically restore it?
It would be good to be able to just backup a certain file and just replace if ever needed.
Can anyone let me know?
