Help! Have to read last SMS with broken touch screen
I get SMS message to phone, but touch screen stops working and I know that message has valuable information from people that I have contact information only in that phone.
Any hints to read that message? So far: I restart device to see if touch screen come back...bad mistake..I have to take SIM out for start, because skip SIM code asking (you cannot write code with keyboard!) I tried to connect to PC with Nokia PC Suite 7 and tried read it with that, but know luck..it doesn't show any messages from N900. Is that wrong version for N900? Then I tried to back up that N900 with Nokia PC Suite 7 and yes it backups messages, but not let put messages to another N900. Should that PC Suite 7 support N900? I found info how to write SMS from terminal, but can I read from terminal? Luckily I have installed working setup for USB-mouse (not Bluetooth-mouse), but can I setup USB H-E-N from terminal to activate it? Or can I start use bluetoot mouse without need to touch touch screen (I ask this because I have to go and buy it if needed). Is there any way to activate cursors keys for mouse (like in AtariST)? Lot of questions, but any hints are now welcome. |

Can you still see the screen, and interact via keyboard?
Then I don't see the problem. Just search around TMO for how to read or export sms via terminal, and/or see here: https://wiki.maemo.org/Terminal https://www.pittnerovi.com/jiri/hobby/electronics/n900/ |

Your SMS are stored in the N900 into Code:
/home/user/.rtcom-eventlogger/el-v1.db Go to the "Events" table and look into the free_text field. Here are all your mesages. In the remote_uid will you find all the phone numbers. |

Mouse and KB should work with a microUSB adapter.

FWIW we had a very simlar convo about searching SMS on SailfishOS here recently - there are apps that do it for both OSs. The one I installed is called SearchNemo. It's essentially a sqlite3 frontend.
