Is it possible to back up my text messages? I''ve been trying to get activesync to work for over 4 hours, and finally managed to get it to sync my outlook data, except the texts.
backup texts
Hi,
no you can't. You have to search for thirth party software like Jeyo Mobile or write your own app, like I did.

I wonder if I can copy everything from my XDA2 which is not backed up by xBackup or ActiveSync, and then restore them again. I don't want to copy the softwares though, just the data. SMS messages, MMS messages, call list, stuff like that, because it is very annoying to lose them all everytime I hard reset my XDA2. I have to browse all my messages write down any important info stored there, and then write them into one note.
thx
Hey Guys,
I'm having trouble with my Messaging program. It sometimes doesn't show messages, and sometimes it shows empty messages. Sometimes I delete items, but it'll still say "2 unread messages".
It's driving me insane, it's not been a week since I hard reset and installed everything from scratch.
My MMS is screwed up as well! I try to send a message, it gets sent but the Magician keeps my message in the outbox. I go to the outbox and see that i have 1 unread mesage which does not show itself on screen! I was also sent some MMS Messages and the same thing happened, as the magician says 2 items unread, but does not show the message itself. :shock:
the only workaround i've done is to do a hard reset and restore my data (thanks to sprite backup)! its frustrating that i cant get my mms to work on the magician. any clues as to how this can be solved?
Yeah, that's what I did as well. But I reinstalled everything manually... because the last Sprite Backup I had was also messed up in Messaging.
Its becouse of spritebackup i think...
So... the solution would be to not backup your messages with Sprite?
The problem is Sprite messing up the Pocket Outlook databases. Not using Sprite for messages is an obvious workaround, but I think I read in a thread on this site that Sprite has a fix as well. You might want to check their website.
I got a replacement phone and i want to keep my text msgs. Is there anyway to save the text msgs and put them on the new phone? I need to know ASAP!
I assume its the same phone - use spb backup or sprite backup both can backup and restore messages.
Similarly, I want to archive my text messages, but SPB backups doesnt seem to do what I want.
Any idea where SMS messages (not emails, it copes with those fine) are stored on the device?
Or any way I can output them into text files?
Oh, and I dont really want to use outlook if I can help it. Something nice and simple like zipping the SMS messages on the device and beaming it to a bluetooth PC would be wonderful..... (if only life were that simple, eh?)
the sms is in the email part!!! you have to do a job lot!!!
Bugger
Thanks for your reply. I shall have a rummage and see what I can find....
Use Jeyo Mobile Extender to copy all your Text Messages via ActiveSync to your PC (just like your contacts, email, notes and stuff like that).
My phone backs up every night, after I flash my phone Myphone says it has returned 3000+ sms messages but I cant see them all does anyone know where tehy are, and how I can retreive them please.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 plus and I'm using the stock Samsung messaging app. I am now trying to switch to the Google SMS messages app. I have switched back and forth between these apps a very long time ago although I can't remember when the last time was that I did it.
Now when I enable the Google SMS messages app as default, all of my incoming texts show up but none of my outgoing texts are there although they are all still there in the Samsung SMS app. I have tried using two different backup programs and both seem to be only backing up my incoming messages. I have tried clearing the cache on the new SMS app. I tried using Textra and Handcent just to make sure it isn't specifically the Google Messages app. Same issue. I really would like to switch to the Google app but I cannot lose the text messages.
This is very clearly an issue with the stock Samsung SMS app, I'm just hoping there's some kind of work around. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Suggestions are appreciated
Which sms backup apps did you use?
I used SMS Backup and Restore, SMS Backup+ and Super Backup and Restore.
I use SMS Backup and Restore and have no problems backing up both outgoing and incoming messages. Did you check the backup files? When I view them, I see my outgoing texts as well as the incoming texts. When I switched to Google Messages from Samsung's on the S8, I had no issues with seeing my outgoing texts. When I upgraded to the S10+ and restored my texts from SMS Backup and Restore, it restored everything, not just incoming texts.
