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

Yesterday I wanted to view something from "Onedrive" in "Notes", only Apple knows why, but the entirety of my notes that were not on my iPad, disappeared in an instant!

I just stared at the blank screen with that sinking feeling we all know so well!

Many times I had casually wondered why my gmail address appeared above the most used list!

Reading this thread gave me hope that I might recover my work which spans quite a few years, but alas, I couldn't find the "Fabled Folder" said to lead us to Nirvana!!

Here's a tip that might help other gmail users, just search your mail for "me:", that's the pseudonym that iPad uses to "phone home" with your thoughts and other scribbles! 😎

Hope this helps others who might be as bemused as I was!


Now all we need is a one click method of re-instating our precious notes, ...you know, just like the way they disappeared!
