Galactic Zoo, thanks very much for trying to help throughout the course of this thread. Anyone here in the States have any recommendations on motherboard repair locations with good reputations/approximate cost? Thanks!

Galactic Zoo, I can actually code in SQL and have written queries against a SQLite database, so that option would be a possibility. I feared that motherboard repair would be very expensive, so hadn't explored that option. Do you know what company(ies) might do it and/or for how much? After...

Galactic Zoo, "I hadn’t been familiar with Google One, so wasn’t a subscriber from before the time when the motherboard of my previous phone (Moto X4, Google Fi edition) recently went bad. I believe the failure occurred on 5 Jul 2020. Unless someone knows of any workarounds, I don’t think that...

Galactic Zoo, great -- that helps! At least I now know that I can't (easily or inexpensively) retrieve that data given the status of my old phone. Would turning on message backup have been done from within the settings of the Google Messages app? Regardless, where would the backup be stored...

Galactic Zoo, you're saying that Google Messages doesn't allow external card storage in its settings? I know that some apps allow that capability, but I wasn't sure about Messages.

Anyone know where these various items are stored on a micro-SD card if the relevant app allows them to be stored there? I'm particularly interested in Google Messages (Google Phone, etc.).

Kizzy Catwoman, well, that would be unfortunate . . .

Golfdriver97, shouldn't the file/folder locations be more universal? I was using a USB card reader attached to my Windows laptop, so using File Explorer, and wasn't having much luck trying to find out if some of the data for which I'm searching might be hiding in there somewhere . . .

Golfdriver97, no doubt! I do have a micro-SD card from my former phone but am not familiar enough with how/where my data relevant to my original post might be stored or if it's even readable/retrievable.

in addition, if anyone has any suggestions as to other forums beyond Android Central that might be good to post this question, please let me know. I realize that the issues are complicated and that other forums may or may not be better fits.

I'll post exclusively on the original thread going forward now that I've set up a user account.

Galactic Zoo, no offense taken. As to restoring, I wasn't certain if the new data not downloaded since the motherboard failure on the old phone would also be incorporated into the new phone once connecting via Wi-Fi. It would've presented problems had the data relevant from the time of...

hallux, thanks -- yes, I suspect that the apps discrepancy in numbers can be explained/reconciled. I used Google Messages for texting. Google seemed to be moving away from Hangouts, so I'd chosen Messages. Hopefully, you're correct about the undeleted VM history, undeleted audio messages, and...

Golfdriver97, the phone doesn't turn on.
