Perhaps you should try this solution (I have used it for many times)
Do you know Screen Capture? The software was built for capturing screenshot :victory: You just need to developer unlock your phone (Lumia 900 can do that)
So... you can open the message that you want to backup, and take screenshot
This is the way I'm using for backing up messages :laugh:

Upgrading ROMS

So, I just upgraded my 8525 to WM6 Black. Anyway, I noticed that it deleted all my text messages. No big deal, but I was wondering if there was a way to recover them. If not, is there a way to back them up in the future?
Read the Black 2.5 thread. In the Black ROM you may find an SMS backup tool.
If not, I am sure one is available, since the old Black ROM had it.
All your text messages are gone. I believe you can use PIM back up in the future . I have never used it myself but that is what the program is suppose to be for.
Here is the program if you don't already have it.

You would need to install the attached CAB file if you want to revert to the original Windows Mobile SMS screen instead of the Manila SMS screen. That is what you are referring to right?
cheers mate

The Rhodium Settings Tool has a setting to adjust maximum number of entries in the call log, details and download here:

No, I honestly don't, and didn't find it in a quick search just now.
Honestly, if you're needing to retain that volume of SMS messages, I would suggest using something like microsoft's free myphone which backs up your messages to the cloud and stores them for you there in bulk, for you to restore to your phone any view there anytime you want, or even view/manage them through a website from any pc. I do this, and only retain whatever sms threads I currently have active and recent, and all the rest I just store there for any future need to refer back to them. The SMS module in WM tends to get less stable the more messages you pack in there, so this is just a good way to keep the phone as lean and efficient as possible
EDIT: please note that myphone does NOT backup MMS, just SMS (and certain other folders as well)
hi
thanks, but its not SMS messages im refferring to but call log (phone calls)
regards nolan

Yes, you're right, and that's what I was originally suggesting that tool for, I got confused with another item I was searching for at the same time, sorry
That tool actually gives the following options for retaining the call log:
5000
10000
20000
30000
40000
50000
Maximum
hope that's enough for you lol
it is enough, but it doesnt work, reality is 300 entries even if i change to a larger number, tool dont change it

Sorry man, I just left mine on maximum, and I guess I never got close to that many.

[Q] how I can install applications. XAP

how I can install applications. XAP my lumia 900 from the PC
You have to make your device developer-unlocked (by subscribing as a WP developer, which cost 99$ a year).
Unlocking your device in any other method (interop-unlock/full-unlock) is NOT possible at the moment, as no-one managed to break through Nokia's protection yet...
Application not available
you may need to update the phone software, the application is exclusive of another mobile operator or the application is not available in your region
this is what tells me if they know of anything that can help me I'll be thankful
I have a lumia 900 cyan, ebay unlocked code for claro Dominican
What? How are you trying to install this, and what are you trying to install?
Try to make your post clear, I can't guess what you're trying to do unless you tell me...

ok good... happens I am trying to install the application on nokia bluetooth shared through marketplace but will not let me, so I'm trying to install it from the pc out why the first question did clarify in another message that was trying to do... I have the latest version of Windows Phone 7.8 for att
Ah, the BT Share app... For some strange reason, it doesn't work for me as well - and I too have a Lumia 900 (unlocked) with WP7.8.
I get the same error as you. I don't know why, but it 'thinks' you (and me) don't have a Nokia device - the BT Share app is Nokia exclusive.
I have no idea why it happens, sorry...
(Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I don't live in the US? Maybe the app is region-locked or something...)

Call recording (Lumia 640/640xl)

Hi!
Is there any way/hack to enable call recording on Lumia 640 (or any other lumia that isn't 950/950xl)? Still no words if Microsoon will implement it in W10M for other devices.
I think it will not come for existing devices ( non w10 flagship devices)
That's really bad if it stays only for flagships. My job depends on calls recording, I guess I'll switch back to Android...
Who cares about your job ?
550 is hardly a flagship and has it (you must manually select Windows Sound Recorder as associated app in system/phone settings!)
Tried writing 0 to HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Phone/Settings? You can do that by injecting CustomPFD in the "Preview for developers" app!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lumia-950-xl/general/lumia-950xl-mtp-t3304658
Your phone probably has an easier way!
I need the value of PreferedRecordingApplication , from HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Phone/Settings. Someone with a flagship ?
Microsoft.WindowsSoundRecorder_8wekyb3d8bbwe
no option in system/phone setting?
Have you all keys from HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Phone/Settings?
I need to compare with a flagship registry. Who can post those reg?

Thank you for the suggestion, but setting 0 or 1 in RecordingFeatureDisabled makes no difference.
I think something like ShowCallRecordingSwitch is missing... cant create this new dword32.

If only Microsoft would be so logical... I don't think it can be done with a registry trick. Changing TextReplySetting value immediately changes the switch in Settings - System - Phone. Changing recording related values in registry doesn't seem to have any effect. I hope I'm wrong.
Maybe something is needed here too:
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CallAndMessagingEnhancement\
I have only BlockingApp and CallOriginApp subkeys there.
If only a Lumia 550/950 user would be so kind to check these keys ...
Well...inside a lumia 550, 950 ffu file mounted we cant find some registry?
Here is another idea: reset the phone, change model name to Lumia 950 and then update Phone & Recorder from Store. Could it work?
No need to reset the phone... will try.
I guess you have tried call recorder apps.
No, will try to mode my phone as 950. Soon.
