Hi Guys,
I have a issue moving large amount of iPhone messages to HTC one, the HTC Sync Manager moves most of the them but some of the threads are not complete and others are missing. We are talking like around 100,000 messages going back a couple of years.
Is there any software out there that can complete this process better than the HTC Sync Manager. Maybe move a chunk at a time instead of the full 100,000?
Cheers
There is a program called Backuptrans iPhone SMS + MMS to Android Transfer may help. It lets you transfer messages with a single contact only at a time. Try it.
But I don't know if your HTC One Messaging app can deal with 100,000 messages. It may load the messages very slow.
Good luck!

In my opinion, no one needs to have that many messages saved on their phone. They are way better off backing them up somewhere online for possible later use. Also, I can pretty much confirm that the messaging app won't work. I have about 5000 messages or a little less and the app is already unbearably slow. So 100,000 will simply make it unusable.

I was wondering if anyone has a cab for an Instant Messenger that doesn't use the internet but uses SMS to send messages. Since the newer ROMS has a tendency to remove this from their packages, I thought I would ask.
I have unlimited messaging shared across the family plan but get charged heavily for using internet.
So any good SMS Instant Messengers?
Search + sms messenger = you finding it faster then waiting on a reply

Thanks but I already had done the search before and didn't find the cab that worked. There were a lot of threads asking for the same thing but came to the same end as this having little to no responses.
One person had posted a cab for the 8525 and it didn't work as when I sent messages over the installed cab, the responses wouldn't be picked up by the program but by SMS as a text.
However, I did find the cab for it as noted from the ATT forums.
In addition to this, I was wondering if there was another program outside of the one that is provided by ATT that could do the tasks but in such a way to out perform it.
Anyhow, for future reference should I or anyone need it in the future, here is the cab for it.
i noticed that SMS instant messengers tend to need a data connection in order to connect initially, then every message from there counts as an SMS.
Though thankfully, after a series of calls to ATT, I have gained a consensus that initialization isn't charged.
Hey i was curious if there is any software that can be used for the kaiser. i used to have a treo which was nice because i could see the whole text messages. anything that would show a time stamp and previoyus comment

It's called threaded SMS and if you have WM6.1, you should have it. If not, there are several program out there that could do it for you.
I use this program since I only have WM6. http://www.birdsoft.biz/extremetext.htm
Its a stand alone app that basically just references your regular message inbox and then groups all your sms by contact name to give a threaded feel. It shows time stamps, contact pictures if they are assigned one, and even allows for hyperlinks to be clicked on if one is sent in your sms. What I really like about this app is that it does NOT whatsoever mess with your sms inbox settings or your mms settings or anything like some other threading apps. If you dont like it, no problem, just uninstall and nothing has changed from before.
Only thing is, that if you do recieve a MMS then the picture wont show, you will have to then launch your normal message inbox to view it.
Heres how it looks. Sorry if I went a little overboard but I looked so hard and tried almost every SMS threader out there and I like this one the best. I dont know about you, but I like to know how something really works before I buy/install it.

Ok, so i had 1300+ text messages between me and my girlfriend this week and i went to delete them because I could tell my sms was getting a little sluggish, but I could not delete them. It kept force closing on me. I tried rebooting the device and still would force close. I figured I would just "wait" this time and not close and I waited ten or so times and then rebooted again. after the reboot the messages were gone. I was just wondering if anyone else has encountered this problem and if maybe there was a way or a program that could auto delete the messages.
ive experienced the same issue while trying to delete a large amount of sms. ive also had issues with it displaying mms. The only solution ive found is to not let my messaging to fill up.
When it trys to force close just keep hiting wait or whatever doesn't close it.....it takes a while but eventually it deletes
yeah it doesn't show the number of messages in a thread with chomp so over the last week i racked up almost 2000 and it took 10minutes or so to delete them all. i closed every other program with task manager and just kept hitting wait.
Yea I just click "Delete Threads" and forget about it. When I come back there's a fore close I click wait and all the texts are gone. "SET IT, AND FORGET IT"
Never let it get over 100 per thread
I noticed if you do that is when you have issues
right now i find it easier to wipe my phone than to try and delete threads of messages, i use more than 15,000 sms messages a month and i just wipe my phone once a month, and run a script on my computer and all my apps are back and on the SD card still, and my messages are gone. i haven't done this in two months and my messeges are getting quite slow. thanks for reminding me to wipe

ok i got 3 words for u. U ARE INSANE !
lol i delete my sms when it get more than 500 or close. and when i did, it tel me to force close or wait, i just force close, and come back, everything is gone
do i smell a sms deleting app necessity?
why am i insane, most of my txts are between me and my girl, i can run a script on my comp and it wipes my phone and reinstalls my apps. right before i go to bed i open the teminal on my comp and run wipe, i wrote a script to wipe, reboot, reinstall apps, it makes my life really easy, when i wake up in the morning i have a fresh phone with all the extra texts and cra gone, plus it saves me from having to delete individual threads like you guys are doing.
@@roguestatuskat if you were to make an app that deleted all my SMS messages at once i would certainly use that, i might not pay for it since my way is pretty mush painless and free, but it would save my cache from my other stuff rather than losing all that once a month
you do relize there is a delete all threads menu option right?
Yea I jus recently had this problem about a week ago I had 1200+ messages from one person and 700+ from another, I jus had to take a L and "wait" instead of hitting F/C, cuz like someone else said chomp doesn't show how many messages u have in a thread... But yea I do think there should be an easier way to delete those messages like that...

15000 SMS month is insane because this means you are averaging a message every 2 minutes every waking hour of your day (30 day month, 8 hours sleep) Assuming it takes you 15 seconds to open SMS and read or type your message you are spending 1/8th of your entire waking life typing or reading texts. That is insane... or at least very impressive in quantity. Especially when you consider that you spend at least some time with your girlfriend and when you are together I assume you are not texting each other. Take in meals and showers and the time becomes even more constrictive.
Whatever makes you happy though.
It's unfortunate because on the Iphone you practically never have to delete sms messages. And even when you do decide to delete months worth of text messages, it takes no more than a second.
There should definitely be a quicker way to delete messages. I honestly can't even believe they shipped a phone that would force close while trying to delete text messages, but what do I know.
i'd really just like to know what folder the messages are saved in so i could try and delete them in terminal and see if that goes any quicker.
wow this is happening to me now.
anyoone know how to delete them faster?
Yea im having the same problem too any suggestions???
I have been thinking on this problem a bit and have a suggestion of sorts. An app could be made to access the SMS provider and delete conversation threads. You do not have to build a whole sms application, just enough to display sms conversations and spawn a background thread to handle the delete. Sms is almost definitely stored in a SQLite database. The problem you are experiencing is due to the fact that the developers did not take into account users with a large number of SMS messages so did not put the delete call in a separate thread. Really it is less efficient in most cases but not when the table gets so large that performance becomes an issue.
The main hurdle I can see in the short time I spent investigating is that the SMS content provider does not appear to be documented. Get a handle to that though and the rest is not too bad. Since there are third party sms apps that share the same content provider there must be some listing of it.

Deleting 1,000+ threads dont seem to be a problem now and has anyone tried deleting on 1.5?
hi all,
i travel on the underground trains a lot, and sometimes its the only time i get to write / reply to text messages.
however when i click send all i get it "SMS CANNOT BE SENT" message and it gets saved in my drafts. then i have to remember later to re-send them.
is there not a way that we can queue the messages in our outbox so that the phone immediately sends when it gets reception?
my old phones used to do this but it seems newer ones dont..
many thanks!
just wanted to ask if people understand what i mean? i found a similar topic to this form last year with no replies also.
my old HTC (200mhz windows mobile 5) had no issues with this, so may be this is just a registry fix... ?
There is an easy way to do this...
type all the message in ur Tube Train
once all the messages are there in your drafts, go into your drafts folder, select all the messages and click menu>move and move it to outbox. Once your phone will get the reception sms will automatically go
Regards,
Vishal
see but this is the problem, if i do not have reception already then sms get automatically moved from the outbox back to the drafts folder.
i know you are trying to be helpful but i want it to do something different!
imagine this, you are on the tube, then you get off and make your way through the crowds up to the street level onto a crowded busy street where just standing in one place would be in somebodys way.. so i walk to where i have to get to and immediately once i am there the client will be asking me questions or i will be working to make a good impression for us..
it leaves little time, and by the time i would remember i would already be at home wondering why i havnt had a reply!
someone must know where to point me to find an answer?? i cant be the only one!
i've asked on a few more windows forums to see if anyone knows. ive also had a look through the registry myself to see if there is anything obvious which there isnt..
i'll keep posting back with my findings.
I really understand what you mean. That little thing keeps annoying me too, most of the times I believe I've sent the message but I haven't, leading me to missunderstandings.
My old Nokia n70 didn't have any problems with that....sometimes I miss that phone so much!
Please write down here whatever you find...

no that will not help. threaded sms is a PITA and is not what we are wanting.
yea so im getting no where with this.
its strange because this works fine on WM5
I transfered 5000 text messages from my iPhone backup to my HTC One... an operation that took 15 hours using HTC Sync.
on my iPhone i never deleted any messages - so the amount builds up over the years....
When the sync process was done i went into the messaging app to see if stuff was there; it was !
I noticed red triangles next to some of the conversations, apparantly a warning about the amount of texts...
Opening the conv. with my girlfriend takes 20-30 seconds (3000 texts) ... instead of lazy loading, it loads ALL OF THEM
sending a text also takes 10-20 seconds, because it loads all the texts again
if i dont want to delete all messages, what can i do ?
is there a lazy-load Texting app out there ?
can i store the texts in an archive ?
You could try backing them up to an archive using https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en
then just delete them from your mailbox.

best option would be a texting app that lazyload like the iPhone - i wonder if it exist... :fingers-crossed:
