Please help bbm chat history

Hi,
I'm new to this forum and I'm hoping you can help me. I have been having a conversation with one of my messenger contacts and wanted to check something that was mentioned earlier in the day but was unable to do so. I have history turned on and set to save to my device. I checked the chat history and one part of my conversation seems to be missing whilst the rest is there...this is only the case for this contact as I have full histories for all other contacts. Please can somebody help me with this!
Thanks in advance....
K.

With regard to saving BBM chat history on the Z10:
1. Can saved BBM chat history be searched (other than by manually scrolling through vast amounts of text)?
2. Can saved BBM chat history be transferred, let's say, as a text file, for archiving and searching by some other means / on some other platform?
2.a. I understand that one can "email a BBM chat", but only a handful of the latest lines of a chat are incorporated into an email - not useful if one is looking to copy older excerpts?
2.b. Where is BBM chat history saved? Device? SD card? Is there a directory path that we can follow to access the history?
3. What is the purpose of saving all of this history if it cannot be efficiently accessed / searched / archived / used?
Thanks for any insight.

Is there a way to set it up so that a copy of every BBM message I send and receive gets sent to my PC or email or somewhere online so I can access them? I do not want to have to hook up my phone to my laptop to do this, however. Anyway of real-time wirelessly synching my BBM to my laptop.
No, not wirelessly without backing up to the PC.
You will need the BlackBerry Desktop Software to do that.
Download it here:
https://www.blackberry.com/Downloads/entry.do?code=A8BAA56554F96369AB93E4F3BB068C22
Once you backup, you can export the backup file to a CSV database using free PC software MagicBerry by Menastep.

Protect bbm chat history from being deleted

Hi Guys
I'm still new here, plz help me, is it possible for me to stop the bbm chat history on a Blackberry from being deleted? Maybe set a password before deletion will take place?
Plz help

Hi Catman78,
There is no such option of setting password for deletion. You can check the below KB article for checking memory leak -
KB02843 What is the Low Memory Manager feature on the BlackBerry smartphone
Alternatively you can save chat history in your media card. Check the below KB article -
KB18406 BlackBerry Messenger conversations are lost following an application load process of a BlackBerry smartphone

Recover bbm chat history

hi
i m using Blackberry Curve 9380.
i wish to recover my complete bbm chat history which i accidentally deleted while trying to delete a particular contact history.
let me tell you what exactly happened.
1) opened a particular contact chat window
2) pressed BB Menu and scrolled up to press"view chat history"
4) pressed BB menu and that's here where you get two options a) delete contact history and b) delete complete history.
so i accidentally selected "delete complete history" which erased my entire saved chat history with all contacts.
i wish to recover and view all of them in original format, what i mean by saying original is, after recovery i wish to view them all in bbm just as we normally view chats in bbm as i also want to capture some screenshots of particular chats which are very important in nature, as they happen to be associated with my business clients.
although i have chats saved in media card in .csv formal which is viewable in excel, but i dont wish to view them in excel format. i wish to view them in bbm.
is there a way how i can do that. is there a way to view chats in bbm that are saved as excel files. Please help as it is very important. advice me on any particular application or software available to view bbm chats as we see them bbm.
please please help. thanks

Hey rajkumar_bharti,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
If you deleted the history it can not be restored in BBM. The saved chats you do have can be viewed in CSV format but it will not be viewable in BBM.
My apologies, let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

BBM Chat History Gone

Hi,
I have recently bought a Blackberry Curve and have been using bbm on it, but I have noticed that some of my chat history goes away as I use it more, and I don't know how to view it. My chat history is saved on the media card, but I can't view it on the phone. Are the earlier messages gone forever? Some were very important and I cannot find them. Please reply soon.

Hey bflogan,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
BBM™ chat history is saved on the media card and not the backup IPD file. In BBM press the Menu>Options and scroll down to Save Chat History and choose media card.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

Hey Lettybetty68,
Welcome to the BlackBerry® Support Community Forums.
To resolve this issue with your BlackBerry® Messenger chat history for this contact, try deleting the contact and then re-add the contact and test with new messages.
I hope this helps.

Hi rizatambok
Welcome to BlackBerry Support Forums
First advice is a battery pull restart , do it by removing the battery while your device is powered On wait for a min. then reinsert it back , your device may take a long reboot and after reboot please check again if you're able to access entire chat within BBM.
In problem continues then let us know the exact version of BBM you're having on your BlackBerry .

Please help (Simple chat programme)

I made a simple chat programme.
It has a server object and it can handle several client.
It is working properly and can use to chat.
I have some problems. can you please help me.
1.What is the best method to read input and outputStreams
I have used inputStream.readUTF()/outputStream.writeUTF() methods and
also I have used bufferedReader.readLine()/Printwriter.println() methods.
I don't know about other methods.So please tell me what is the best and new out of these two.
And are there any method which is better than these two.
2.Is there any way to get more details from input and output streams
Here more details means Fontcolor,Size etc;
by now I'm adding them in to my output streams and filtering them when rea input stream.
I'm getting other details(Fontcolor,Size) and add them all to a string.
that means if client type "hi" my string will be something like this
"12ff0000hi".
When read the input stream i make a char[] and take first 2 chars to integer next six to a string and rest
to another string.
I think now you can understand my concept. So I'll not tell every thing.(if you want i can fully describe it)
I' feeling this is very bad way to do that kind of work.
Am i correct?
so can you give me some hints or examples to do such kind of things.

Here's a simple DataInputStream program that talks to itself. It runs the server as a seperate thread.

        // run the server code as a thread and then run the client code
        private void startup()
                new Thread(new Runnable(){public void run(){listen();}}).start(); // start server thread

BBM Chat History

Also, I can end chat but when the contact sends me a message the entire thread returns.

Transfer BBM Chats to new Device

Hi,
I am trying to transfer my BBM Chat History from my old Z10 to a new Classic. I have followed every resource I can find, especially from CrackBerry. No Luck.
I have backed up my BBM chat history fromthe Z10, but can't restore it onto my Classic.
Please help. I have chats that I really cherish and want to transfer onto my new Classic.
I didn't expect to have a "classic" phone issue where every time we transfer something we lose all text/contacts/information. If text messages can get transfered, why can't BBM chat history?
Thanks,
TrDxIt

BBM for BlackBerry 10, Android, iOS and Windows Phone does not support transferring individual BBM chat history between devices. The only conversations that transfer when switching devices are BBM Group conversations.
BBM for BlackBerry OS does save the individual chat history to the device memory which can be found at /home/user/im/BlackBerry Messenger/history/
BBM for BlackBerry 10, Android, iOS and Windows Phone does not save the BBM chat history is a accessible location.
For more detail about BBM Chat History check out this post I put together last year > How to save precious moments using BBM Chat History.
Obviously you would like support for transferring BBM Chat History so I’ll pass along your feedback for future consideration.

Deleted chat history

Can I retrieve deleted bbm chat history when save history was enabled. I tried going to filers folders. Clicked on I'm but the contacts pin is not showing. Is there any other way that I can retrieve these chats. Please help. Urgent

Hi 801010,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
Do you have a backup file containing the chat history? If not, once you have deleted the BBM chat history, it cannot be retrieved. Let me know if you have any other questions.
Cheers.

BBM - No option to save chat history on Bold 9900

I have the Bold 9900 and upgraded the software to 7.0.0.579 as well. I have the latest version of BBM but I don't have the option of saving chat history. This option is just missing from the list. I have asked my friends who own this same BB but they have this option on BBM. Help this is very annoying.
Kamlesh.

Here are my privacy settings again. My formatting in the original question did not hold:
Use custom settings for history
Always use private browsing mode - unchecked
Remember my browsing and download history - checked
Remember search and form history - checked
Accept cookies from sites - checked
Accept third-party cookies - unchecked
Keep until: I close Firefox
Clear history when Firefox closes - checked
The 'Exceptions' submenu has several domains set to "Allow" - these are the cookies I would like Firefox to keep on exit.
Settings for clearing History - In this submenu, 'Cookies' is unchecked. While this is unchecked, Firefox will not delete any cookies on exit, even though I have the 'Keep until I close Firefox" option enabled. But if I check this box, Firefox deletes all cookies on exit and ignores my Allowed Exceptions. This seeems to make no sense to me.

Hi @Chipomasi,
You can delete your Chat history by going to Tools>Options in the desktop client; click on the IM and SMS tab; click on IM settings; then show advanced settings; then you can clear the history and modify how long chat history goes back.
Note that this will not delete the other user's chat history with you, only yours.
