My phone is falling apart and I want to backup my SMS and MMS - LG enV Touch
I considered emailing them to myself but there are almost 400 of them and there is no "FWD ALL" option on this phone so I would have to do it one by one which is impossible since my touchscreen is so buggy I can barely use the phone at all.
Next I tried BitPim, and was successfully able to save them all to my PC, but when I open them up to view them they are ugly and hard to read (and the MMS are completely illegible).
What program properly reads SMS .dat files and MMS .pdu files?
If there is no program to view, is there a program or way to convert them to a more easily readable format on my PC? Alternatively, is there a way to bulk FWD them?
That's just how BitPim stores the stuff. Once you transfer it to a new phone, it is completely normal.
That is the only way I know of, other than emailing, to backup texts on a non-smartphone.
As for pictures, just put them on an SD card and plug it into your computer and you can transfer them that way.

Everything is going wrong with my phone, I have been trying to find a contact number but can't find one. I then went on to try and send an email to tech support but I have no idea what a 'partner code' or 'case ID' is. I think Blackberry make it extreamly difficult to help with any issues, I desperatly need to speak to someone about all the issues I am having, please can somebody respond to me ASAP so I can get this sorted?? Thanks.
It may actually be, given your purchase situation, that you have neither warranty nor any formal support for your BB. Given your purchase method, your device-level warranty and formal support would come from the seller to you...still not direct from BlackBerry. If your issue is service related, then your carrier would be your support channel.
But, from what you say, it sounds like you have a device-level issue (since your service provider would not help). But still, BlackBerry provides no front line support to any end users...well, not for free. It may be that they provided you with a number that is the Incident Support number...and that channel requires payment to BlackBerry just to start the process and ask the first question.
Anyway, you seem to have what you desire...so good luck with that!

I have an ios 6 ipod touch that I use alot to store important information on.
I also have a Gateway laptop witch utilizes windows 8.1.
I just got a new android (not apple) phone that I keep with me.
How do I sync all my contacts, emails, notes, calendars, and reminders to all of my devices even if it just through my email I have 4 that I schedule in Live.com gmail.com yahoo.com and icloud.com.I've just discovered that Outlook doesn't sync with iCloud and that Apple are blaming Microsoft. BUT IOS 5 did sync notes with Outlook. Why has Apple removed this from IOS 6?

Hey Guys,
So my phone was my snorkeling buddy last week for a few minutes... I wasn't out in the water for longer than like 5ish minutes. It is a Verizon 32gb iPhone 4. I've had a few problems with it before as the previous owner dropped it in some water which has not only fried both the wifi and bluetooth, but also caused the home button to work sporadically and the LED flash to stay on like a 1/3 of its power 24/7 even if the phone dies...
Anyways,
about half an hour later of discovering 4 ft of water the phone was stuck in white rice (had to go on a rice hunt) and dried for several hours before I soaked and drowned it again in fresh water to try to get the salt out... One omen that I saw was that the eternal flashlight was finally, off.. after this, I stuck it back in rice for another day and a half and then stuck it on my ihome... the apple icon flickered and then went away. I plugged it in a few more times and finally got to the lock screen and started to hear txts and alerts come in. however, the screen was unresponsive and i couldn't unlock it. not sure if it was just me but each time i plugged it in to try to get to the lock screen, the screen itself went from ok condition to having dark streaks diagonally across the screen. After this I stuck it back in the bag of rice before finishing off by letting it sit in the hot desert sun for a few hours..
Several days after this the phone was taken apart and there appeared to be little to no moisture. however, there was some rust. a newer battery was popped in and the phone itself was able to receive txts and calls (you can call it and swipe the bottom of the black screen to answer and talk through it).
is there anything i can do to fix the black screen or am I doomed to get another phone and loose all my pics and videos?????????? as i haven't backed up the media...
ThanksApple won't touch it. It was opened by an unauthorized party. It is not eligible for an out of warranty replacement. Your only option is to buy a new phone.
Apple does not sell iPhone parts at all. If you want to take your chances with a 3rd party repair service or try to fix it yourself, the only parts available are counterfeit parts, stolen parts, or salvaged parts. -
I dropped my iPhone and the back cracked. immediately after that, it wouldnt charge fuly or at all sometimes, i'm having the same problem now, and the back of my phone is falling off in pieces. I would like ti get it replaced or trade it in for a new, better one. is that possible?
Take it to Apple, with some money, and ask if it is eligible for an out of warranty replacement. They will not trade a new 4S for a busted 4. If you want a 4S you'll have to buy one.

My Iphone 4 just updated to the iOS6. I've connected it to my computer for the first time since then, and wanted to back up my photos in iPhoto. However, although Iphoto recognized my phone, it shows no photos to upload or backup. It lists my phone in the "devices" category on the left bar, but no longer shows any of my photos.
Does anyone have any suggestions?I've reread your question several times and am not sure I understand it.
Are you trying to basically start over, as if you just took your iPhone out of the box? If so, do:
Settings > General > Reset > Erase all content and settings -
i have my daughters iphone 3, i want to use it as an i-pod, but it keeps receiving messages from some her friends is there a way to stop this from happening, please help, my phone is maxed out and would really like the storage for music, thanks
It sounds like it still has her information on it, so it might be efficient to navigate to Settings, then General, then Reset, then Erase All Content and Settings. You can then set up the phone again, using your information. This way the phone will be yours, officially, and her data and information will be removed.

my iphone 4 would not back-up to to pc "because an error occurred" anyone offer any solutions to this, I want to restore my phone to factory settings and reinstall my data but cannot back up first. Original problem is that I cannot connect to any wifi system anymore - have tried resetting network settings but did not work.
Try 1 step at a time and do a backup, if no joy then do the next step:
1. Switching off your anti-virus and firewall.
2. Computer iTunes menu > Edit > Preferences... > Devices > delete your backup -

I have an original iPhone running version 2.2.1. I wish to get rid of the phone, but before discarding it I want to remove the email records, phone book information, and photos. I would like to leave the other apps in place. Any suggestions?
Delete you mail account on the phone and disable to sync your mail account in the info pane in iTunes with your phone connected, same for contacts. Also deselect photo syncing in the photo pane. After the following sync, your mail, contact and photos should be gone.
Photos inside the camera roll have to be deleted on the phone.
Remember, that apps only can be used with the account they were bought with. If the phone will be set up with a different iTunes account, all of your apps will be removed.

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

i have a new computer and want to sync my phone to the new but dont want to lose the information. how do i transfer. i was told there was a way but not sure how
for the purchased items from the iTunes Store, you could use transfer of purchases
for the photos, other music/movie not from itunes, you'll be needing a third party application
for contacts, calendars , photos from camera roll : you could just directly transfer it from your phone to the computer. -
Highly Dissapointed G570 falling apart within 3 months and now cracking close to end of Warranty
I purchased a Lenovo G570 and noticed within 3 months the screws at the bottom were dropping out unknown to me. Next the rear edges cracked open everytime I opened up the Laptop TO USE IT and made a cracking sound , same noise when you close it.
I am highly disappointed in this Laptop. I was considering getting a Lenovo Tablet but after this nightmare , I will keep as far away from Lenovo as I can.
Also I bought the Laptop at the end of August and was shocked to discover that my Warranty expired a couple of weeks before it should have so to replace the Screws I was told to ship it to the factory for repair would cost over $250 !
I see some Screw Kits available for much less than this.
I am now just waiting for the Whole Laptop to fall apart but will not be repairing it , I will just throw it in the Garbage Dump and consider it a waste of money.
I will go for a Toshiba or Apple next time.
Never Ever Again ....NOT A CHANCE WILL I EVER PURCHASE LENOVO ! SHAME ON THEM !It will keep falling apart. Don't buy anymore Lenovo products. They will just beak into pieces. They are shameless and disgusting. My laptop just keeps falling apart.

My I phone 4 fall from my hand and screen broke. Can I replace my I phone 4 from Apple Store ? How much it will cost in Dubai ? Please help me with the information.
I'm assuming you can..now I don't know the prices for your area, you'll have to check around, I just did a quick web search and I'm pulling all sorts of prices up, I'd look into a repair facility near you and see what they can do for you :-) shouldn't be too expensive though! Good luck!
