Help!  Text Messages and Call History Deleted after Update

My Galaxy S4 updated automatically this morning and my text message history and phone call history are gone.  Is there a way to restore this?  Very frustrated.

    aroth1188,
I understand the importance of retrieving your text message history.  Did you have the Verizon Messaging application installed on the device?  This application may have your messages backed up for you to restore.  Please let us know if you still need further assistance.

  • Restoring Only Text Messages and Phonecall History From Backup

    Hello,
    I just restored my iPhone and I was wondering if there was a way to restore only text messages and phonecall history from my back up this morning.
    The backup is located on my Macbook Pro running Snow Leopard if that helps. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Welcome to the discussions,
    you can only restore the whole content of the backup, at least that's what is supported by Apple. There is software out there letting you read and extract parts of your backup, for example photos, but you'll have to use this on your own risk. One example can be found here: http://supercrazyawesome.com/
    Whatever you do, make sure to back up your backup folder before, or use Time Machine to do it for you.

  • Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer?

    Is there a software in which I can hook up my iPhone 4s to my computer and send and receive text messages and calls (via headset) through my computer? Whether it's free or cost money, can someone please give me a name of a program or software that allows me to do this? I can't seem to find anything like this for the iPhone.

    No.

  • If only using wifi, will I still receive text messages and calls from non iPhone users?

    If only using wifi (turning off Cellular Data) will I still receive text messages and calls from non iPhone users?

    If you have cell service with a text plan, yes.

  • Text messages and email accounts disappeared after...

    Hi,
    I just made a backup via OVI Suite and now all my text messages and email accounts are gone. When trying to restore it skips the messages and marks them with an exclamation point inside a red triangle.
    Where did my messages and email accounts go? How will I be able to get them back?
    Please help!
    Thanks,
    Marc

    Text messages should be saved for as long as you save them. Email will be saved for the length of time you chose when you setup your mail account.

  • Can numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and calls?

    can phone numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and/or calls on IPhone?

    You have to check with your carrier. I know Verizon you can log in and block calls.
    You can not selectively do this on the phone.

  • Text messages and Calls failing

    I recently bought a 4s and upgraded to the new iOS. Starting last week my text messages and outgoing callas are failing, but I have a strong signal. I've talked to att, who have checked my phone, the coverage in my area, and replaced my sim card. I'm still having issues. is there something wrong with my phone?

    seems to be a pretty common issue. I dont think its a carrier issue it more apple I think

  • Help with text messages and calls--urgent and annoying :-/

    Hello: I have an 8350i on the Sprint/Nextel network. Latest issues include what seems to be a dump of my text messages--yesterday received a batch at 5:38pm that had been sent at 9:49am, 10am, 11:27am, noon, 2pm, 2:15pm and then another batch last night at 9:08pm that had been sent at 7:31pm, 8:47pm, and again this morning a batch that arrived at just before 7am that had been sent about 2 hours before. And it's not all the time, or just certain messages. Very frustrating.
    Second issue is that I discoverd that neither my husband or I am able to call my office landline. Colleagues seem to have no trouble.
    Any thoughts out there? Thanks!

    Text message delays are a carrier issue, I would contact sprint and see if there was maintenance in the area or other outages.  Quick fix, you can try to pull the battery out while the device is still on and time it for 2 minutes.  This refreshes your connection and it may work properly after that.  Also, calling other numbers is a carrier issue also.

  • HELP - text messages and emails are suddenly combined

    I have done something to my phone. I cannot read text messages - says I have one and all my emails are going into where my text messages once were not in the email folder.

  • How do I sync both my iPhone together so they get text messages and calls? So if I have someone blocked on one phone my other will receive it

    I want to know how to sync my iPhone 4 and 4s together so I can share my messages and pictures. I want both phones to receive the same message calls and pictures. Is there a way and how?

    Sorry no way to receive calls and SMS text message on both phones, you would need to have the same number.
    You can have imessage go to both phones, by adding your apple id to imessage.
    You can use photo stream to share pictures between both devices.

  • Text messages and calls not received???

    ever since i updated my phone to iOS 4, i've experienced "late" smses, where i receive messages 2 to 3 hours after my friends sent them, and even receiving the messages only after i restart the phone. also, just yesterday, my friends couldn't reach me on my phone even though there was perfect reception. what's going on?? :S

    I'm having the exact same problem. I get emails from friends asking me if I've received their text. Despite my phone showing full bars and a wifi connection, I have to turn my phone off and back on for text messages to arrive.
    Anyone else seeing this?

  • Curve losing messages and call history

    I have an 08310 that has been running fine since O got it (~ 2 months ago).   Yesterday I selected messages and lots of messages had gone - nothing simple like all messages before a speciifc date missing - several from that day and lots of older ones, some were SMS, some were emails - out of several hundred I was left with about 30!  Also the call log had disappeared and the phone seemed to be running slower than before (lots of hourglass).  Today it again lost several messages and cleared the call log.
    Turned it off/on no joy. Removed and replaced the battery no joy, changed themes again no joy.  The slow running seemsto have improved but I have no idea where my messges went and have no idea when this will happen again. Don't know about you but I loose confidence when things like this happen.
    Does anyone know what might be causing this and how to prevent it.

    Hi and welcome to the forums!
    This almost always a case of low memory;
    go to options - status and send the file free and file total munbers; we wil need those for comparison.
    You have low free memory left on your device.
    Do you have a lot of third party applications on your BB weather, icall,bbalerts etc?
    I do not know your experience level, so if you know this I'm sorry but please read and let me
    know if this applies.
    Most people close the applications by pressing the escape or red key. This does not close the applications.
    Each application has a CLOSE option. For instance if you are in the calendar hit the menu key (spotted key) and scroll down to the bottom CLOSE is listed. Go through each application and press close. Go into the browser press menu and options select cache operations clear all categories and hit escape it will say cleaning memory. If you have the following application on your phone use it.
    Go to options - security - memory cleaning - enable it. The BB will now clean memory when idle for 5 minutes.
    you will have an icon on you screen for memory cleaning make sure you press it. Make sure you use the CLOSE button each time you are done with an application.

  • Text messaging notifications won't sound after update

    So I updated today to what I am assuming is the 4.3.  And ever since that, my text message notification sounds won't play.  Yes, my phone's sound is on.  When I receive a text, the phone will vibrate but not play my notification tone. 
    My other tones work fine (email and phone calls).
    Any suggestions for what to do?

    My volumes were not turned down.  Verified that.  I ended up calling VZ and they got Samsung on the line and they said that this is a known bug with the latest update.  Along with possibly breaking WiFi, horrible battery life, or even preventing the phone from powering on.  What they said I needed to do was a factory reset on the phone.  Once I did that, everything worked again.  Samsung also said to not install any updates until they push 4.4 Kit Kat.
