I'm about to the upgrade to the G3 and since there's no microsd card in the G2, I wanted to know what app or service most people use to easily back up their texts and contacts.
Thanks in advance.

To backup contacts you can save them on internal memory and copy to pc, or just sync google contacts, for sms you can use this : https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=fr

Hello,
Is there a way to transfer SMS from one G1 to another. My G1 stopped charging and I will be getting a replacement soon. I want to keep all of the SMS that I had and transfer them to the other G1.
Please let me know how this is done and what software I need.
I have a rooted G1 with JF1.5 Firmware.
Thanks alot,
Moe
Check the market for an SMS back up program. There are some that will back it up to your SD card and some that back it up to your gmail account. Not sure about restoring them though, my text have never been that important that I need to back them up.

I dont think there is a restore function in any of them i was looking for one of these but didnt find one.
MyBackUpPro can backup and restore just about anything. Just dont use it to restore your contact, it WILL screw up your syncing. SMS, most settings and apps work fine though.

hi im running a 2.2 rom Froyd right now on my hero and a friend of mine with a Nexus one 2.2 was stressing that he couldnt copy his contacts onto his SIM card, so i checked my hero also cas i could have sworn i saw that option on my 2.1 sense rom before but on 2.2 it appears missing.
So is there any hacks/apps that enable contacts 2 Sim card as this would be very useful
thanks guys
There might be an app for this?
I've never liked sim contacts on android, and always discourage them.

No no i mean i want to copy my contacts BACK to my sim card so i can use them again on another phone --
if im using froyd i import my sim contacts onto the phone - i was asking how to import them back to the sim card as i have new contacts that i dont like to loose when either reflashing or changing phone
a nokia 3310 offers this feature LOL (No i dont want to use a 3310) lol
No, I 100% understand what you want to do.
Use the market to search for "contacts to sim", and you'll see apps (many free) like Copy to SIM Card, Contact2SIM etc.
Give one of them a go
thanks Pulser , Contact2SIM worked like a gem
Or just sync your phone contacts to your Google account so you can always access them on any device or computer.

True, and that's what I normally recommend, but the OP was after a way to then put the SIM into his other phone and use it.
So in that case, Contacts to SIM is the best way
with Froyo?
Wont sync from SIM card and mobile backup doesnt work.
I don't want to download from Gmail as these are my contacts and my wife is using the phone now.
During the update it asked if I wanted to backup my contacts on tmobile servers, but how do you retrieve them?
Secular
ps she needs a bigger font. How do I do that in froyo.?

I have an aria i just bought, and i wanted to backup my contacts and sms similar to using pim backup. I did not want to go the google route, right now i have all these email contacts on my phone and i dont want them.
I do not have a data plan so i just want to keep my sms and contacts on my sd or on my pc but dont want to have anything to do with gmail. Just a simple app.
Is there an option for this on android?
Several.I personally use mybackup root for those things.
Sent from my Liberty using XDA App

Not 100% on this, but if you're on a Sense rom cant you use HTC Sync for that stuff? That would sync your contacts to your computer I believe.
I found a program that did my contacts but not sms, but the program posted worked for me
Thanks
Now using cm7
Hi, got problem, phone is not reading any of sd cards anymore, got android hyperdroid, got phone repaired - replaced screen. Techs didnt touch the software, when i got the phone back, it wont recognize any sd card, if sd card reader in the phone wasnt working anymore (maybe they didnt plug the cable
I see to posibilities 1) try to task29 instal new rom. 2) Give the phone to techs and ask them to checkfixit. Since i need to restore to wm 6.5 i woul like to backup contacts from my phone. every backup software uses sd card for that. But in my case i cannot use sd card since it wont work. I have found 1 program
Wondershare MobileGo for Android it was looking promising, but.. it conected, an worked fine, but.. for some unknown reason it displayed only 2 of my 400+ contacts.. so i cannot use that.. Any one know any way to backup contacts to phones internal memory makink some file, and i could email it to pc ?

actualy you can do more with this software, you can export your contacts as vcf file, and then import and make those from phone to google account
