Hi guys, at present is there anyone working on a method of backing up and restoring sms messages? I really don't want to lose all my current messages so I'm effectively trapped using the initial Windows phone 7 build until until someone releases a backup tool.

Hi guys. i'm new here. i have an o2 xda ii mini. had it for more than a year now and i had a xda ii before that.
I (very) stupidly didn't recharge for a while and lost all my data. nevermind the lost data because i backed up most of the things i need, the problem is:
when i recoverd my data sms messages that i had when i backed-up (january 2006) are there and un-deletable. i can't access the files, some are not yet read but are unreadable. it also occupies the 50 slots in the deleted messages so when i delete a new message its permanently deleted right away. How can i get rid of this?
Faced the same! After restoring from sprite backup.
What you can do now is, use spb backup to make a custom or selective backup without messages. Hard-reset and restore!
Hope this helps

Hey there,
is there any possibility to get my short messages from one custom rom to the other?
I love switching roms, and of course i alway make NAND Backups, but everytime I install a new rom, my SMS are gone, and i dont like it
It would be great if there was some kind of file, i need to copy, or restore or whatever to have them secured.
There are several options to do this...
I'm using SMS Backup & Restore: https://market.android.com/details?...mNvbS5yaXRlc2hzYWh1LlNNU0JhY2t1cFJlc3RvcmUiXQ
Another option is to extract your sms from the nandroid with AppExtractor:

Another vote here for SMS Backup and Restore. It saves them as an XML file so you can copy them off to another device as well if you want. It's also pretty intelligent about restoring stuff from the backup, for example it can avoid restoring messages that are already on the phone, and you can restore individual conversations rather than the whole backup.
Thanks

Awesome guys, thanks for the fast help
and again i see, xda-community is the best
Always best One more u can use is Titanum Backup for almost all posibble backups
I always use Go SMS backup service, it's easy and fast, also you can use XML for backup that could be usable in other places.
I use mysms (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mysms.android.sms) This app stay in sync with cloud... And i can read and send message without my phone - from web!
Ne careful when you switch your sms between an ICS and a non-ICS rom, the data has not the same form.

Hi all!
There is a way to backup text messages and, if possible, call logs, between Android and WP7? I'm actually keeping these things backupped in Gmail with SMS Backup + for android, but i dunno any Wp7 alternatives.
Can you please help me to find a solution?
Thanks in advance,
Mauro.

theres this

that's fine for backup and restore of text messages and contacts.
it doesn't capture call logs tho, restore is fairly easy, but if you must setup and sync all your accounts first, then restore the backup, then delete facebook (if you use it) then restart and setup facebook again.
for some reason my contacts get all messed up if I don't delete and resync my FB contacts when importing backups
If your looking to copy from android to WP7 etc then that might be an issue, if you can edit the vol files created I guess you could then import them in to WP7 but ive looked at the files and you would need a special program to do it also note that MMS messages lose there content, the message is still there but no content. perhaps that's something that can be fixed in future versions as I think the chap who made it is still trying to work out how WP7 stores it all.
Hi,
I have been trying for two days to backup all my sms's and restore it to my new Note 9005 without success. I unticked the option of maximum sms in a thread but still no success
I was using HTC one X then HTC one and all sms's migrate with no issues.
I was wondering if the Note has any kind of limitation that I don't know or anything that I need to do.
I have tried, sms backup & restore , My backup pro, Hi Suite.... all with no success.
Thank you for the assistance.
I am relatively new to advanced android development / rooting. I rooted my Nexus4 recently without doing an SMS specific backup with a backup app. However, I had done a full backup using adb and I have the backup file as backup.ab. Is there any chance that I can restore all my previous sms and call history from this file to my phone now? I am running the latest stable cyanogenmod 11 installed via the installer. Appreciate help in restoring my text messages.
