Hi All
I am switching mobile phones and have a lot of txt messages that are relevant to a civil case I expect to deal with in the future. What is the best way to preserve messages for court? Are screenshots adequate to preverved messages or should another method be employed? Thankyou.

the screenshot is a good idea but there will be a lot of screenshots or pics, that may disturb you in searching for the exact SMS,
why not save in pc with other methods ???

here is one, search accordingly to your Mobil model
  1. Launch Droid Transfer on your PC.
  2. Open Transfer Companion on your Android phone and connect via USB or Wi-Fi.
  3. Click the Messages header in Droid Transfer and select a message conversation.
  4. Choose to Save PDF, Save HTML, Save Text or Print.
