The SMS data is in a protected directory on Android phones. I believe
the call logs are as well. Unless your phone is rooted, you won't have
access to them. There are utilities out there in Android-land that will
let you back up SMS data and call logs, or you can root your device.
>From what I can remember, the SMS data is in
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/ mmssms.db
on the phone. Unless you're rooted, /data reports as an empty directory.
Android is essentially saying "Nah, it isn't empty, but you ain't root
so you can't see what's here. So there! Nyah! Thhpt!" <insert emoji
with a thumbed nose here>
There are times I absolutely hate Android. It's my phone. I should be
able to do what I want with it. Why the hell can't I move stuff to and
from my SD card as I see fit? Truly annoying.
says you can
Not sure if that means I would be able to copy them to linux.
