Hello all,
Is there a limit to the number of SMS's that can be stored by the Desire? Are they likely to delete themselves once that number hits a limit, say like 1,000?
Since the SMS are saved on the phone internal memory, I believe that there is not static limit, like 1,000. I believe it depends on the free space you got on the device.
For example, lets say you got 100 MB phone memory, and 95MB is used with apps. If the SMS takes 500KB, that means you will be able to receive 10 of them before you use all of your space and not be able to receive new ones until you make some space.
This is how I believe it works, if I am wrong, someone correct me

Hi, ummm. There seems to be a limit of 25 text messages. At least on Manila. Is there anyway to remove this limit? I would like to keep all my SMS (on my last phone I normally had over over 2000 sms but had to erase some periodically due to memory limitations, though not OS limitations).
Also (I don't know if this is in any way related), but I always have an empty message at the beginning of the Manila sms interface (doesn't show up in the "all messages" area). Anybody know how to get rid of it?
The limit of 25 messages is only present in the Manila interface. All your messages are actually still there. You can see them all if you go into the default WinMo Messaging app.
Regarding the empty message you see, have you tried to delete it from Manila? (right soft key and then delete)
That was the first thing I tried.
Strange thing, erased an sms from my carrier and it disappeared. But then it reappeared later. Wonder if it-s some weird thing to do with my carrier. One slight advantage is that it provides some privacy protection against slight snoopers.
Hi all, I read the other thread on this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=568361&highlight=text+message+limit) and figured I'd start a new one rather than resurrect that one out of nowhere. I understand the whole "Manilla only shows 25 texts while the others are actually saved" thing, but does anyone know of a way to get all of them visible on the manilla interface? I'd much rather see 1/x number of messages on the sms tab than 1/25 just for the sake of knowing how many texts i have stored.
Thanks
I dont think this is possible, and I am not exactly sure that you would want this because Manilla Caches the messages, i could be wrong though, but if it does cache the messages, you would be very unhappy with your device's performance. I send about 500 messages a day, and recieve a little more than that, messages are about 5k each, thats about an additional 2 megabytes of cache, sounds like a little, but sense struggles to run as it is.
Hello
I just received a text, but could not see who it was from or what it said, but instead an icon at the top bar with a message showed, saying that the storage was full, and should delete something. I did, and I can receive new messages now, but I never saw the message that was sent to me in the first place.
Is it somewhere else in on the phone, or the storage card? I would like to know who it was from, and what it said.
Thank you

I have the same problem from time to time on my Froyo Hero.
just a little question... how many messages u got? want to know how many messages the dhd can save
Is there a limit to how large a thread with a contact or total SMS limit between all contacts? I currently have almost 4,000 messages in 1 thread and they're all backed up, but I want to make sure I won't randomly start to not receive messages or have SMS force closing on me. Would anyone happen to know?
Don't quote me, but I believe about 4,999 messages (sent or received), as that is what I believe to be roughly the storage size in messaging. I'd double check through menu>settings>applications>manage applications and then check inside the messaging app. I believe the max size is 4,999kb which translates to 4,999 sms if each sms (not mms) is all 120 or 160 characters alloted. Not 100% sure, but I read something along that line.

That many messages is going to slow down your phone like nothing else. You wouldn't believe how much faster your phone will run if you just delete those texts.
You guys were definitely right. My phone was really starting to slow down when there were 3500+~ messages in that contact's thread. On top of the other 750~ or so messages my phone had, it was becoming really slow opening the messenger, receiving, and sending messages. I even had a few FC's. I went ahead and set a 3,000 limit for now and it's back to "normal" operation as far as I'm concerned, but I see what you were talking about with having more than 4,000 or so total messages causing a problem.
Hello,
My Note 4 suddenly did not turn on (hard brick). I received a new device but had two worries (could not reset the old device, could not transfer from it).
Many of my apps autoloaded on the new Note (thanks Android). Pictures, videos, recordings, and screenshots on internal memory were gone and so were old text messages and voicemails. Is there no chance Android/Google stored this automatically somewhere? How do I check?
Why are pending text messages or voicemails not shown? How would I know who tried to contact me in the weeks that the old phone is broken?
In the future I'll save everything (pictures etc...) to the external SD. Can I do daily auto-backups with SMS Backup & Restore for texts? What about voicemails? Is there no way to prevent texts in transit from getting deleted - if my phone doesn't work how can I save texts I've never seen or read??
Thank you.
If you have set up a Samsung account on your phone it will back up sms mms every 24 hours but only on wifi. As far as voicemail if you use the stock voicemail app you can have it set up to forward all voicemails to your email address. From there you can listen to them through your email account.
