Looking for Windows Desktop software for viewing threaded SMS
 

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:

LOL, 14000 texts.

I'm surprised your phone will run at all.........

Sexting is addictive.. Now u see why I want to keep these memorable messages. A couple years worth of some of the girls I have dated.

Ew. Why not try Microsoft MyPhone? I dunno how it handles pics, but I have some threatening texts from my ex backed up like that & they're readable on the computer.

As I mentioned earlier, MS MyPhone did work as far as backing up all my texts.. But..
1.) It only shows 15 texts at a time.. So to go through all my 14,148 texts, i would have to scroll through 946 pages (no way to increase # of texts shown on a page).
2.) The messages aren't threaded.

Thanks though!

I have found Jeyo Mobile Companion and am testing it our currently. It hasn't hung when I am downloading all the texts... And there is a threaded view you can do for individual people. The only issues I am having with it are:

1.) To edit the texts, such as moving them to folders or deleting them, the phone has to be attached as it is doing it live. I would much rather have everything done offline, and then when completed, it would resynch back to the phone.

2.) When looking at threaded view, I will try and change the colors of either my text or the person's text I am talking to, but this function does not work correctly and colorizes only parts.
