Hi guys,
I have the Galaxy S4 but will be eventually getting a new Android phone in the not too distant future. I have several text messages on the existing phone. What is the best way to save all the text messages and seamlessly load them into the new phone ? Any recommendations ?
I plan on rooting the new phone. If I used Titanium backup, how would I back up the texts then load them to the new phone ? I currently have CM right now, can everything be restored via Titanium backup on a TW or another newer version of CM later on ?
I tried using titantium backup to restore but had no success in the past.
I have been using SMS Back up and Restore and it works on CM as well. The same developer has one for call logs too. Call logs Back up and Restore if you want those saved too

So out of no where yesterday I was exasperating market crashes with ACS ICS v5.5. So I reflashed the rom (doing the standard 3x cleans) and when I restored from Titanium my SMS, call logs, wifi settings, and basically nothing but the apps and app data came back. I looked on there wiki and made sure all my setting where right (they are) and i even manually went in to flash just SMS and other data and even thought it says it completed fine it does not come back. The only thing i can think is my last back up went bad somehow (yes i did verify my back up once it was done)? Does anybody know a way for my to go back and flash a older back? I cant find a way to select older back ups.
Did you choose to restore system apps AND data?
I had the same problem before, i notice that the sms and other things can only be restored when you restore them to that rom.
Hi All. My N4 is all stock. To transfer my sms messages from my previous device, I used SMS Backup & Restore app from Playstore to create a backup file which I then transferred to the stock N4. I used the same app on the N4 to restore. Strangely, the restore process froze the N4, and worse, when I rebooted, the stock mms app was suddenly "not installed" (with just the green android robot in its place on the dock). I had to install Go SMS and did the restore all over again. Go SMS worked, fortunately. (I think it may have been the volume of sms restored that choked up the stock mms app, but i'm just speculating, and I still don't why the restore process should delete/uninstall the stock app itself.)
My question now is: is it possible re-install a stock MMS on an all-stock N4? if yes, how? I'm trying to avoid a factory reset if this can be avoided. Many thanks!
Hey everyone.
I unrooted my Note 3 and used Kies on a Macbook to restore my backup to the phone. However, everything gets restored except my SMS. Even the MMS gets restored. I know the SMS is saved in the backup because I used the same backup file before and everything was fine. Now, Kies only restores some of the SMS from a few people, shows (No Subject) for most of them, and since a few hours ago, wont even detect the phone.(Connecting...) Anybody know what's going on or is there another program that can restore the .sme file which holds the SMS? Thanks!
Hi guys, I've got a Huawei G700-U10 which has stock ROM installed, with Android 4.2.1 (never installed an update, as far as I can remember).
I never messed with the phone. But did root it, so I could use Titanium Backup (payed version) on it properly.
I used Framaroot to root it, with SuperSU.
Backup were running smoothly. But few days back the phone didn't boot up at all.
Seems to happen a lot with this phone, it went into a bootloop.
Tried a few things to get it back up, but nothing worked, so decided to do a factory reset.
As I did have my full device backups (on ext. SDcard), I thought, there wouldn't be any problems.
So I did a factory reset, by pushing the Volume up + Power button.
After that the phone booted up and I installed Titanium Backup on it.
To my surprise the phone was still rooted...(?)
I can restore everything else besides the SMS history. It seems to restore a part of the SMS history and then stops, with the error:
Data restore failed for "Messages (SMS & MMS)".
Checking the SMS app, I see that only a part of the history has been restored.
I tried to make Titanium Backup the default SMS app, but that didn't work.
Do you guys have any idea on how to get a full restore of my SMS history.
It doesn't have to be restored on the phone itself, it can be a text file for all I care.
Any help is appreciated :fingers-crossed:
I wiped my phone and installed a new rom for a couple hours, received one text during that time. Then I wiped again, installed a fresh AICP rom, and let Google Setup restore my most recent backup from the cloud. It only restored the one message, and I lost a couple years worth of messages.
Is there a way to restore my messages from the cloud backup, to a certain point-in-time?
Thanks!
Mike

If you go back to stock and restore that backup you should get all your messages. I had the same issue on ROMs that sms was not restoring. Even though Google does a pretty descent job backing up I use sms backup and restore also. It's free and can backup anywhere (google drive,device,email etc.) That way you never have to worry again.
