None (if referring to text messages).
I've had an Android before years ago and recovered a certain number of them it wasn't a Moto phone

Deleted text messages can not be recovered unless using a client/service that maintains a 'backup' database on the device or in the cloud.

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
+1 SMS Backup and Restore. Its a free App that is Fantastic and I've been using it for a long time.
if the messages are already deleted, can you retreive them with this app

No you cannot, I don't think their is a way to do this.
Hey guys, I had previously stored my 5000+ sms messages from my XperiaX10 into my Gmail account... After I bought the Atrix4G, when I restored these messages, I saw that just some part of them were restored because there is a limitation of SMS's per conversation in Android 2.2!
Is there ANY way for me to restore ALL my messages back to my phone? Any way to remove that SMS limitation they put (which is 1000 per contact I believe)? If it's through an application (through rooting the phone, anything I can do...?)
Thanks a bunch!
Try the handcent text messaging app. Its free plus will give you a TON of extra features including unlimited inbox limit.

hmm I liked the idea, buuuut I believe Handcent syncs directly from the Messaging App so if the Messaging app doesn't get the restored messages from Gmail, I'm guessing Handcent wouldn't either? It bugged the only time I tried... I could try again, but I don't really know what I'm talking about hehe...
And I've never really used Handcent, how does it work when you receive a message? Do you get 2 notifications? Is it possible to set Handcent as the default messaging app? How does it work?

With 5000+ messages, wouldn't you rather leave them in Gmail? At least you could use the search feature in there
Yea wouldn't it be better to save that in an archive then build it again with another app now? Of course I don't know how you could import them if the SMS applications don't support it but....

It just doesn't make sense to have 5000 text messages in that format. That's a lot of scrolling if you are trying to find a specific text message, whereas, in the Gmail app you can use keywords, such as the contact's name and whatever you were talking about and then BAM, there it is.
Hello all,
I have some texts that are sitting on my old phone (Verizon Thunderbolt, rooted) that I have kept for whatever odd reason (mostly for information that I never got around to saving into contacts). I would like to transfer these so that they show up on my new phone (G2, also rooted and Verizon), just as they did before, like normal, old text messages.
What's the best way to do this?
Thanks!

Personally I use SMS Backup+ to backup all my SMS to my gmail account, and then I use it to restore the newest 200 on my new phone. It doesn't restore MMS messages, but they are in my gmail under a label of SMS.
SMS Backup & Restore is my favorite (but you will have to copy the file from the old phone to the new phone manually).

I have blocked many spam numbers on my stock Nexus 6p
I want to flash cyanogenmod however I've got a feeling that I will lose my black list, does anyone know how to export it and reimport it later on (just to be safe)?

There's a system app called "Blocked Numbers Storage".
One would think that's where the numbers are stored.
You could try using titanium backup to backup the data and restore it afterwards.
Thanks for the reply.
I tried as suggested but could not get it to work (importing backup to different phone).
I am not overly familiar with Titanium Backup so it is possible it was user error.
Any updates on this?
Any updates on this? Running 7.1.1 and use the stock dialer to block spammers. I probably have 100+ numbers blocked, but am moving to a warranty replacement Nexus 6p. I'd like to export the blocked callers on the old phone and import them into the new phone.
Thanks in advance!
I didn't have any luck but would still like an answer

I believe the blocked numbers are saved in a database in the Google dialer data. You could try backing up the dialer app data and restoring to the new phone. Can't say for certain if anything bad will happen tho

Well this sucks. I can't get a backup/restore to work either.
I flashed a fresh Oreo ROM on my OnePlus.
Installed opengapps on it.
Installed Titanium Backup.
Added one blocked number to test with.
Then backed up EVERYTHING including system data with TBU.
Then wiped the ROM and reinstalled it the same way using the same files.
Then restored EVERYTHING including system data with TBU.
And it did not restore the blocked number.
So there is nothing that TBU can backup/restore that will restore the blocked numbers.
I really need this as my Mother passed away unexpectedly in February and left behind quite a few debtors that are calling me all freaking day long, every day.
It's really bad. I'm the only heir/living relative so they must figure I'm responsible for paying her leftover bills. :crying:

Tell the persons calling you that your mother passed away and that you are not responsible for her, tell them that if they don't stop calling your number that you are going to report them. They debt collectors have to abide by very specific rules.

So this is cool.
I've never used the backup/restore option that Google offers in GAPPS before.
You know, where it backs up your WiFi password and some settings to the cloud.
Then you can restore those after clean flashing a new ROM.
Well it turns out that if you enable the backup.
Then do a restore of that backup, it also restores your blocked numbers!
At least it does for me in Oreo 8.1 AOSP using Google Dialer and Hangouts combo.
Can't believe it's taken me this long to try out the backup/restore.
Which btw, does not force you to restore all your apps.
Which I thought it did and is why I never used it before, because I also like to restore my app data via Titanium Backup.
There is genius free app called My Blocked https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.myblocked
I successfully exported my calls blacklist from Google Pixel 3 and imported on Samsung Galaxy S10e.
excellent suggestion Kyonex, the app allowed me to export and recover the blocked numbers in One Plus N10. Thank you

Great! Thanks for sharing, it worked perfectly on my Redmi Note 10 Pro. I recommend everyone to create a folder with the apk file and the database of blocked numbers in some cloud storage service, in case the app is discontinued on the playstore.
My phone is an H910 running Oreo (stock; never rooted). I have used the stock Messaging app for SMS/MMS.
I am trying to backup all SMS/MMS and move to a different device so that I can delete them on my H910 to save space. There are about 1,200 messages to move. Ideally, I would like to be able to save all sent/received messages and open them in a messaging app on a different non-LG device. (I would like to open them via a messaging app installed to BlueStacks. My preference would be to save them to my email; I previously used SMS Backup+ with great success, but that has not worked for years now it seems, so I am not counting on a solution like that.)
The problem I am running into is that I cannot seem to save my sent messages. In other words, I can see all of my received messages when viewing them on the new device, but none of the messages I have sent.
I have tried switching to new messaging apps such as Google Messages and Textra on the H910. However, this only shows my received messages (no sent messages).
I have also tried using a backup/restore app such as SMS Backup & Restore, but my sent messages are not backed up that way, either. (I have used a number of different methods to view the file with the backed up messages. The only messages shown are received messages.)
Does anyone have any recommendation for how to solve this? Why can't I backup/save my sent messages?

SMS Backup & Restore works for me on Android 8 (US996).
A search came up with this:

where RCS messages are the problem, are you using RCS?

Thank you for your response.
Yes, that appears to be the problem. The H910 is AT&T-branded, and I am using it on AT&T. It automatically comes with "advanced messaging" (aka RCS) enabled. So, that is the problem... that is why SMS Backup & Restore will not work. (It looks like SMS Backup & Restore might work with RCS if I had been using Google Messages from the start. Unfortunately, that was not the case.)
I am now wondering if I can get another V20/other capable device with a better messaging app installed prior to the process and then use AT&T's Mobile Transfer to move everything over and back. I may pursue this.
If anyone has a better method of backing up SMS/MMS/RCS messages, please let me know. Otherwise, I guess the moral of the story is to always use a third-party messaging app that allows for backup of RCS or stores the messages via cloud/alternative means that you can actually access.
This might be a solution:

Thank you. I actually was attempting to use that last night. It seems that using this allows you to backup all messages (SMS/MMS/RCS) to AT&T's cloud, but you can then only access them via AT&T's messaging app. There does not appear to be a way to export them from that app to a different device. So, it is great if you just want to view the messages on a different device... but not so great if you actually want to move the messages from one device to another.
