General :: Extract SMS Conversation From Phone To Read On PC
Jul 25, 2013
The short version is that I need to be able to extract one specific conversation from the stored text messages on an Android phone, transfer it to a PC, and then convert it into some format that is easily and comfortably readable on a PC.
The background to this is that my girlfriend had kept all of the text messages she had previously received from me; but a couple of weeks ago a rather unpleasant gentleman kicked my front door in (while she and I were both in my house), demanded money, and made off with my wallet and shoulder bag, and my girlfriend's handbag, which contained her phone. A bit scary as you can imagine.... We're both okay, but my girlfriend was a little sad to lose all the messages I'd sent her.
As it happens, I generally keep long-term copies of the texts that I send and receive (not for sentimental reasons, I'm just a bit of a hoarder when it comes to data!) so I've probably still got copies of all of those messages somewhere (my phone didn't get stolen), and I'd like to extract them and give them to her as one of a set of birthday gifts.
Potential complications:
1) I need to extract both sides of the conversation (my messages to her and hers to me) into a single file.
2) I need not to extract messages to or from anyone else.
3) Sometimes a number may be in 07... format while other times it may be in +447... format.
4) Girlfriend changed phone number at one point.
5) Messages will be split between my old phone (a Samsung Galaxy S2 which can still connect to wifi or a USB cable, but has no actual phone service any more) and my new one (HTC One).
6) The end result needs to be a single file with everything in chronological order.
7) Girlfriend is extremely non-technical; so the end product has to be something that can be loaded and viewed on a laptop by launching just one file, and it has to be nicely laid out and easily readable when you're viewing it.

is it possible to extract (and read records) SQLite Database out of Android application/.apk file/...)? Because I have some important information in it, so I wanna be sure it's pretty secure (only application has access to it)?

How I can extract the .zip ROM file from an Android phone. The best I could find were people that were doing a backup of there phone (I don't know if they are .zip or not). But I want to somehow extract the .zip from the phone and be able to flash like a custom ROM.

I have my hand cent set an I Phone conversation style. The other day i was scrolling down reading messages and all of a sudden the bubbles went from about half the screen to stretching all the way across the screen. One on top of another. But they were still in bubble format and different colors for sent and received. They were just longer which i thought made them easier to read. I kind of liked it, but next time i opened it they were back to normal. I'm not sure if this was some kind of glitch, or if some way i was pressing down on the screen made them change. But I have not been able to recreate this.

While in the middle of a call my phone randomly ends the call or presses buttons on the touch screen. I think this is because my face is against it. Any ideas how to stop it being sensitive?

We have a 2009 Mini Cooper S and a 2014 Infiniti QX60. I previously had a Galaxy S2 which I could connect to my Cooper via USB and it would read my music, playlists and podcasts and play them on the car speakers. About a year ago it stopped doing that and I thought it was b/c the phone was so old. I eventually upgraded to Galaxy S5 now in April, and the car still will not recognize the phone, read my music, playlist and podcasts. I took it to dealership but they say it's an Android problem. we bought the new Infiniti and I have the same problem. Before I try to take the Infiniti back to the dealer. I have no issues with the Bluetooth picking up the phone's functions and making calls, but cannot get the audio system to recognize or read my files and play them.

So I went in and tried the droid 2 in the store. There is a totally new "unified" messaging app. It looks like this may be a motorola / blur app.
The thing is that this email app works with my corporate email system, while the email app on my droid w/ 2.2 still doesn't work.
I'd hate to upgrade hardware due to a software problem, but I really dislike TouchDown, and would like to get my hands on that APK.
Is there any chance someone will be able to extract out the unified messaging app from the droid 2?

i have my samsung SCH-R740C,and i put the SD card from my previous phone in it. ( it wasnt a samsung.i forgot what it was), and for a while, it was working fine in the new phone. however every once in a while, pictures,videos and music get corrupted and i dont know why.( i would save it to cloud,but it takes an extremely long time even with wifi. google+ backs up alot of ny files for me,but idk if it backs up audio.)
somehow the phone messes up my files. at first, music that i had already saved on the external SD card i could listen to(although some songs were corrupted and skipped a lot),but any new music had to be in the phone, or else i couldnt play it. now,NONE of the music can be on the exteral card so i have to move it to the phone just to hear it. id rather keep my music on my external SD card,so i could move it whenever i get a new phone.

I have been at this for hours, but to no avail. I have been trying to root my GS2 with CF Root, but I can not get the tar file, instead, I see a zImage file. I am not extracting the tar to get the zImage. The zImage is what is there originally. I have tried multiple sources of CF Root, but get the same problem.
Edit: Figured it out, nvm

So I just got my first Android device today (switched from a BlackBerry Bold 9700). I love everything about this device so far and I hoping to keep that streak going.
I get a LOT of emails and most are simply replies to the same thread. I love the conversation view (same as I had on my BB), but unlike the BB, I can take actions on the thread as a whole (e.g. Mark as Read and Move to Folder).
How do I do this on the Android?

Haier W910 buzzing/humming in the phone call. Like I'm close to the speakers.
It does not happen in every conversation, and sometimes it appears only in the course of the conversation, after 5-10 minutes. No pattern
No matter which network mode is selected, 2G, 3G, 2/3G, Auto. Only in some areas ( including my house and yard )
Android 4.1.2., have tried restore, new rom.

I got my new HTC Sensation with Android some days ago and I would like to change several things on it, but before doing it and to be safe safe I would like to do a backup of the phone as I got it, as I did with my old (and broken ) HTC P3600 with WM.
I have been searching forums (including this one) and I find tools and tutorials for doing it in Windows Mobile or for Applications, but I didn't find it (or I was not able to find it) for the full smartphone, including the ROM Android-based.

I own a new SGS4, and want to migrate all my messages from my an old CWM backup I have. My phone is not rooted, so I can't use NANDROID MANAGER for that job.
I'm looking for a way to convert the internal SMS db file to an SMS.xml (same one as used by SMS BACKUP/RESTORE app) - than it will be easy to restore it.

My parents have recently started using a Samsung Galaxy tablet. I believe it is a tab 1. They have created a gmail account for their email and are getting on fine with the gmail app except that they can't figure out how to access the earlier conversations that are grouped together in a thread. I'm an Apple MacBook user. I have googled 'expand conversations.
