How all my text messages in my mobile handset disappeared?

Apsara!Deepak is a highly respectable married man and here you want him to get into trouble with his wife by making outrageous suggestions. Have you peeped in with this solely "noble" motive?

Hi Apsara! May be your are right, my mobile handset got fed up and decided to shed some of its weight by making my text messages disappear .......... It means mobile handsets also have brains of their own and sometimes they use it to fool us. I doubt that everything could be inside my phone. The reason is I store my text messages in the 'memory card' not in my 'phone memory', therefore, I was under the impression that my text messages would always remain intact. However, its contrary has happened. As regards getting fresh messages, no doubt I will get new messages from my dear friends and could again store some good number of messages. I do not have a girl friend, who could send me any romantic messages. (so there is no worry on that account). Thanks for surfacing and joining us after a long time.

Hi Shibam! Based on my knowledge it appears to me that it was something like a virus which wiped out all my messages at one go.. All other data on my handset is intact. Thanks for providing useful information regarding two sites. I will surely check them at the earliest possible. What makes you not like sending or receiving text messages?

Don't you feel bored, while tying on mylot ? You could always 'forward' a message without typing on your mobile.

Nothing but i get bored in typing.

Hi mimpi! It was really shocking to lose all my text messages. Some of them were really wonderful and I would read them in leisure. You may be right that my messages may have got transferred to some other location in the handset. I will connect my mobile handset with PC/Laptop through PC suite and then will see if it is possible to retrieve or locate my lost messages. I do not want to re-format or reboot the handset because in that case I will lose all other important data and applications. I may add here that all other data is intact, except text messages. As regards your own problem. I understand there would be two option in a handset:- (i) SIM memory and Phone memory and (ii) Phone Memory and Memory Card (Micro SD Card) If you are asking for the first one. Then go into the settings (option) of 'Messages' and there would be an options 'others or other settings'. In the option 'others' you could select the option of SIM Memory or Phone Memory or Memory Card. Incidentally, I selected the option 'Memory Card' and all my text messages would store in the Memory card of my handset. But it has all vanished. When the handset restarted, I found that settings did not change. I have an application by which I could block the SMSs from a particular number, I am thinking of using that application for that particular number. Have a great day! dpk

Hi Mayka! Nice to see you board. It was really strange and shocking that all my messages vanished. It could have been some virus or something like that. You are right some were really very good messages and worth storing forever. Now I have lost them. All other data on my mobile is safe, except text messages. Thanks for joining us.

I am wondering how many text messages you could store in your SIM CARD? BTW what is a lifeblog, I do not have any idea about it. I do not have mobile software with me, therefore, it may not be possible for me to reformat my mobile.

My phone also doesn't has a memory card but a built in memory 8GB. But I set my messages to be saved in my sim memory (sim card)and also saved in my lifeblog. Actually I reformatted my phone myself, you can do it using your laptop dear if you have the mobile phone software with you, just installed it and do it yourself.

It should not be the case, because I've ample unused memory in my handset.

Will try. Thanks for your guidance. Congratulations on reaching 2000 mark.

awww thanks!! it's because i awas away for awhile, so i'm trying to catch up on ALL my emails haha!! so i'm typing away and away and the next thing i'm 2000!! lol!!

Hi~ It would be better if you could get an anti virus application for your mobile. Anti virus will keep your mobile safer and your data intact. Thanks for sharing.

Hi ifa! I did not change/replace the memory card of my phone. No problem, if you do not know what is anti virus or virus.

Actually i know virus and anti virus is But what i know is for the computer i have anti virus in my cell actually but my friend install it for me. And the antitrust is used for the virus in internet not for sms. Maybe u have to be more careful if u have sms which send by your friends

I have an application by which I could block the SMSs by unwanted people. I am thinking of blocking SMSs from that particular number, because I do not want to lose my text messages again.

Hi! I have not tried this option. Will connect my mobile through PC Suite with my laptop and would surely see if I could retrieve or see my messages. Thanks for your valuable suggestion and for kick starting the post.

yes as venkatraman has said u can connect mobile to computer with the help of pc suite and then can see your messages if they really exist. May be there had been a problem when it got switched off automatically ,do u say its virus ? is ther e any antivirus for cellphones.

Uma! I have yet to implement Venkatraman's suggestion. I will do it soon. It might be a kind of virus. Yes, there are anti-virus applications for mobile phones too, specially for those, which are used for net surfing and downloading.

HI Toni! I know you use android based phone and mine is different from yours. So anti virus which you use, may not work for me. Blackberry phones, I understand, do not get affected by virus as such. Thanks for joining.

my blackberry is a piece of crap! constantly turning itself off and on lol! so you maybe have lost your texts.. but i've lost my mind with my phone lol!

No, am not. It is Nokia handset.

Hi viju! I love sending and receiving SMSs and I had good collection of SMSs, which I lost due to unknown reasons. I did not try to use either my memory card or SIM with another handset. I have not yet tried to connect my handset with PC through PC Suite. Let us see if it could be of any help in retrieving my SMSs. All other data is intact in the handset, therefore, am not going to reboot it. Thanks for the inputs.

Have yet to try.

Hi, hope u get them back. Ya, there is no need for rebooting it as rest is in tact.

Hi fanta! Thank God! you do not use mobile, otherwise, you might have faced some problems, as I am facing. Like my text messages, I may also disappear one day.

But yesterday my two discussion disappeared and I know when they will going they crying because fanta is not there. Hello laddu dont tell this next time why you will disappear otherwise our friendship is end laugh with me..

Hi Kala! I know that it is a kind of some technical problem, which all my friends may not be aware or may not be able come out with any viable solutions. Pl. check the other responses, some of the friends have given some useful suggestions. Many thanks for dropping in.

Hi Jen! We try to find out the solutions, when we face unseen and unknown problems. We need to update ourselves with ever changing technology.

HI HCW! It is nice to hear that you did not face this kind of problem. I understand that Blackberry phones and iphone are well equipped to handle this sort of problem. I am not using either. If I reboot my handset, I will use all other data and I will have to store all the data again. Incidentally, all other data is safe in my handset. Thanks for joining and sharing.
