I have a Sprint Touch Pro 2. From the last 2 years, I have over 14,000 text messages (I had imported it from my Touch, then my Diamond, then my Touch Pro, and finally to my Pro2). It used to be a lot more, but I pruned it down..
The issue is, my phone is VERY slow when I hit the contacts list or go to check my texts.. the phone will literally freeze for 5 seconds or more.. I tried wiping the device and importing, but as soon as I reimport the texts, the same issue arises. Threading also doesn't work, as the device just gets bogged down trying to sort all of them. I have tried doing this a couple of times at night, with no success.
I obviously don't need this many texts on my phone... But I do want to keep an archive of them on my PC. Preferably showing a threaded view.
I know Exchange 2010 will download SMS, but I can't upgrade from Exchange 2007 till DPM 2010 comes out as well (sometime next year).
I have found a couple apps (
see links below), but most of them work by working with the live database.. so, nothing permanently downloaded.. And if you try deleting stuff, it needs to redownload everything again.. crashing half the time because of the size of the SMS database. I did find one app, but it doesn't have a threaded view and costs $$. All of them aren't being worked on anymore.
Online is no help either. Dashwire is not showing me any text since April, plus it is closing end of the year. MiQ, is freezing up the phone and the ads are very irritating. Microsoft My Phone shows ALL my texts, but is showing only a few per page (I would need to click a couple thousand pages to clean up the phone). Also, it is not threaded either.
So, if anyone knows a web/desktop app that can show threaded SMS conversations and after editing, you can sync the updated list back to your phone... Plus won't choke on the large amounts of texts.
The stuff I've tried but were no good:
