How can I recover deleted notes from my iPhone 4s?

I took notes in my class using the app on my iPhone but a week later when I went back to the notes it was deleted and gone. I know it was on my phone because I looked over it after class. Is there any way to recover it? I looked on my icloud but there was nothing on there.

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.1

The same thing happened to me. And i watched my phone automatically delete my note as I was holding it!!!


I found out that the phone automatically links to my yahoo and gmail accounts. So, I went into my yahoo account (same for GMAIL), and saw that it had a "notes" folder on the left hand side.


my gmail and yahoo were automatically linking and deleting random photos and notes. I haven't figured out how to put them back on my phone but I found them hidden in an email folder.


Weird...

hey,

so here's the mistake i made

i saw tht all my notes were backed up on my gmail account. I didn't know that was possible, so after seeing them on my mail, I, for some reason, deleted all the notes from my mail account.

Now, the problem is (i think so, at least) b'cuz i deleted it from thr sumhow it got deleted from my phone too.

N now with no icloud backup, i can't see a way out of it.

so, is thr sum way to get it back, at all?????

So I've always been able to find my deleted notes in my Yahoo! e-mail, but I want to know HOW TO GET THIS TO STOP!!!


I've been dealing with this crap for 3+ years and it all started with my iPhone 4, continued on my 4S, and has now started on my 5S. SUPER frustrating behavior, and beyond tedius to have to copy and paste half my notes out of my e-mail every couple of weeks.
