I'm migrating from Note Edge.
SMS back up by Go SMS and SMS backup & restore for about 4500 sms takes more than 2 days n yet not fully restored.
Used to do same in few mins on Samsung Note 3, 4 , Edge. Help anyone ?? :angel:
Hi,
I also have upgraded from a note edge
I used SMS backup and restore for just under 5000 messages. It took approx 10 mins to backup and about the same to restore. Were you attempting to restore a lot of MMS messages? Have you tried to restore without including them to see if its quicker?

Hey all
My problem is kind of strange. For the past 4 days, whenever I turn my phone off, reset it or let it do it's sprite backup, I lose all of my new text messages. It goes back to the same messages that I had 4 days ago.
I noted that my cemail.vol file is 10.4 MB. That is huge.
I tried to delete 95% of the text messages manually, and even went to the deleted items tab and deleted them again. I even used my CK tools to clean up my phone.
Whenever I reset my phone, every message that I spent hours trying to delete comes back, deleting all of the newest messages and restoring it back to the way it was 4 days ago. Same thing with my Sprite back up.
I have some messages that I would like to keep for sentimental reasons, and I have tried to delete almost every other message, but like I said, I turn off my phone and turn it back on, it goes back to the way it was 4 days ago.
Any thoughts on how I can delete these old sms messages and still keep the ones I want?
Thanks!

Juz first make a PIM backup of ur things... n do a hard reset or re-install the ROM.. I hope it will do...
I have a 68MB SMS database file and it failed restoring at around 30% now when I try to restore my messages it says:
"Restoring data from XML
Messages (SMS & MMS)"
0% 0/1
It has been there for about 1 hr and only comes out when I reboot. Any ideas how to fix this?
Then when I go to my partial backup, Go SMS Pro will show the names bu the stock SMS app takes forever to load the names.
This was never resolved I ended up using SMS Backup and Restore. Just beware if you have more than 5,000 messages like I do it can take Hours / overnight. It literally took me 8 hrs to restore 70,000 messages (remember this is lines of messages so if each contact has 100 texts which is easy.... and there are thousands of contacts in your phone...)

Ok...all else aside...why would you want that many texts on your phone? 70,000 lines of anything can't possibly be "just current info" ...
Hey...its your phone, etc., you can do anything you want. ..I am just curious why you'd want all that on your phone.

I'm a fiend for backing up SMS messages. I'm one of those guys who always thinks "you never know when you'll need it so back it up." A few weeks ago I had a soft-bricked Security Error on my G2. Luckily, this was in the same day after fully backing the phone up to OTG USB via Titanium. I decided to jump on the CloudyG2 train from CM12.1, mainly for xCam. I restored all my backups through Titanium. All of my SMS messages came back in my default app, Textra. However, those messages do not appear in other apps like the stock Messaging app or SMS Backup & Restore. Any SMS I've sent after flashing Cloudy show up fine in all apps, but Textra gets the backed up/restored SMS plus all the new ones. Any idea where they are? Are they permanently "locked" into Textra now because of using Titanium?
Has anyone found a way to back up all your texts, including those sent or received using Advanced Messaging?
I've discovered that all the apps that I've tried so far can't "see" texts that were sent or received using Advanced Messaging. This includes:
- SMS Backup+
- SMS Backup and Restore
- GO SMS Pro
The only thing that does work is the built-in AT&T Messages Backup & Sync service, but that only keeps the last 90 days of messages.
I'm looking for a way to back up all my messages so I can do a factory restore on my AT&T Galaxy S7 because it's running really badly after the Nougat update (eating up my battery like it's candy).
Thank you!

My dad just went through this after a really bad Nougat experience.. He didn't find anything after an hour of research. There was one app that said it would do it, but after he flashed back to MM, the app said it couldn't restore the text messages.
You have root? If you did, you could use Titanium Backup
Solution to missing advanced messaging messages from text (sms) backups.
I've got a solution.
Try "legal text collector"
Worked for me and the dev was totally responsive, and helped fix a couple bugs the same day.
10k messages backed up!
Hey i was having issues with texting today and couldn't pinpoint if it was tmobile or the fact I have over 20k in messages. On the phone with them all day and messages wouldn't send/ receive. Couple ppl said they sent me messages and never received.. Some test ones eventually came through.
Anyways, I had restored messages from a previous phone to this and now I went to do a backup like I normally would with Sms backup & restore and never had a issue. I look into the file saved and noticed that many of the messages aren't saved. I used the built in backup with Samsung cloud and restored on another galaxy phone..
Seems like since I got the phone not many messages saved. Would I have to format the messaging app to remove all messages and call it a loss at this point and start from scratch?
Sorry for the long message. Thank you in advance
