[Q] Backup SMS - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Dropped my phone in a puddle and the display is dead. Kies saved my contacts, but then it hangs up at 62% when it reaches my messages. I've tried searching for the sms file but just can't find it from my PC.
Can anyone suggest another method?

SMS blocked... or lost!

Hi Guys,
i have a MDA Vario and I love that thing. But I recognized with the time.. that SMS are blocked. Over night I turn off my phone and when I turn it on the next morning, no message is coming. A lot of my friends asked me if i got their message last night.. They sent it to me after i have turned it off. And on the morning i didn´t got anything. No message.
Last week i registered myself on a Website where a SMS-Registration was necessary. I clicked on "send the Message". The MDA Vario blinked up.. and I expected that it will ring and signalize the message. But nothing. I never got a message. The SMS is lost till now. And i´m afraid that there are some more messages which got lost.
Does anyone recognized the same Problems like me? Or can anybody help me? :?:
Thx

where are my new messages?
got the same problem. SMSs just stopped comming. i started using sprite backup - the only change in used programs.
hardresetted device works, but after restore: no go. even microsoft activesync backup restores settings with no SMS...
any thoughts on this?

This MAY NOT be your case, but...
Sometimes (although the "nice" people at Sprite Software won't recognize it), after restoring a backup made with sprite backup, the SMS inbox folder (and sometimes even other folders like draft and trash) stop working. The effect varies:
you may see "x messages unread" but the new messages are not visible.
you may never see new messages.
the new message notification can stop working, with or without the other symptoms.
recovering from this problem is difficult: the easiest way is, ofcourse, and hard reset. if you want, SMS Organizer can still extract the messages from the damaged database most of the times.
SMS lost - not received
This is interesting - I have posted exactly the same behaviour - only some SMS received.
I can recreate the problem that you describe almost at will - It is not related to any backup software - it happens on a "virgin" XDA after hard reset without anything being loaded or even an Active sync attempted.
bottom line is: put your XDA in a spot where the reception is weak and switch it off. Send two messages to the phone. It will wake up trying to receive the first message. It will loose the network and re-aquire, but no SMS will be received. (although a confirmation message will be sent) - as it is awake now it will receive the second message. The first one will be lost forever.
I have upgraded ROM to no avail. I had it in for repair twice - still same problem. O2 has now agreed to exchange the unit. I will keep you posted.
My concern on reading this is, that this is an issue with the unit itself.
Certainly hope I dont have any issues as I send and receive a lot of sms messages and any kind of failure like this would mean the phone being sent back and contract cancelled unless I can find a different phone that interests me. Unlikely as I was only considering this or the XDA Exec.

Lost txt messages

Hi guys,
A problem I've had is that sometimes I'll go a day without recieveing txt messages. Then I'll turn my Atom Life off and back on and up comes 10 messages with a sim logo (the some icon that names stored on your simcard has) next to them in my inbox that should have come through at various points during the day.
Is there something I can do to prevent this? It's strange!

[Req] SMS/ Contacts backup and restore

Have been using MyPhone for a while now and find that it is a real pain due to how slowly it restores text messages. Having over 2000 texts restored takes almost 30 minutes and in order to do it, I MUST have the phone connected to the power supply or else the screen switches off and the sync fails.....
Can anyone recommend a decent backup/restore utility? dont mind one that backs up to the SD card as I mainly use it when I flash new roms (one very few days usually)
Using MyPhone to back stuff up once every week or so incase the phone is lost/stolen isnt an issue .... as long as I dont need it for restoring stuff every few days
Thanks

[Q] Rebooted phone, lost all sms messages.

Yesterday I was traveling so I had to turn my Hero off for the flight, when we landed I turned it back on and both my contacts and sms messages were all gone, same with my call history. Any suggestions on a way to restore or recover the sms?
I'm running DarchDroid 2.7
Thanks

Any way to recover messages without root?

So, the phone works fine until one day randomly it restarted and was reset and thus I lost all my phone data including text messages. Is there a way to recover the messages without root? I hadn't backed up the messages
