i read in google that i need to move every time one chat and send it by email. there is no way to save and move all chats by one to pc?
If your phone is rooted you can use Titanium Backup to backup Whatsapp along with its data and restore it later. That's how I do it every time I perform a factory reset, upgrade a phone to a new android version (like I'll do when I flash Marshmallow), or buy a new one

Now that I am getting more and more use to my Tytn, I am looking for a good backup app.
With Motorola there is Mobil Phone tools. You can go in and do a complete backup of all your phone data, contacts and such and even after a complete software wipe its a matter of 3 clicks and everything is put back. I am getting good with flashing roms and such so I end up taking a few days to get all my fav apps and such re-installed. I am not even sure how to force the phone to save new contacts to my sim card which would save some time, but I still am looking for a good backup program.
So, what do you use to backup and restore your phone data after a flash?
I used spb backup for most of my backups that were used for identical rom backup. Using the complete backup of one rom and then restoring to another rom is not really a good thing. As a matter of fact I've only had it work properly maybe 25% of the time from rom to diff rom.
The pim backup works really well. it's on vpg 3.62. works great.
A failsafe is NS Contacts Backup. it requires MS CF 2.0 though. it will work from rom to rom. It is free too. i think it's at nxybullsoftware.
Of course this is all assuming that you dont use outlook on your computer (I don't)
Just do a search for contact backup and you'll find lots of answers.
Yeah,
still using Spb Backup. It works properly without any problems as long as you restore to the same device / ROM.
If you want to restore PIM / mail data to another ROM / device: that works fine too but you cant restore application / system settings to another ROM. However, if you do not plan to flash your phone or switch it for another one: Spb Backup is a good bet!
Hey there,
My SMS program is lagging a lot due to having too many messages, is there anyway i can transfer them to my pc?
Ive tried searching but i cant seem to find what im looking for!
Thanks!!
Take a look at Jeyo Mobile Extender. Integrates perfectly with Outlook 2007. When registering your name, make sure its the same as the 'ME' in the HD2 contacts list.
or use microsoft myphone and archive the messages. They will be removed from your phone on next sync, but will be kept online. not sure if you can UNARCHIVE messages though if you want them back on the phone .....
If you just want to STORE them on the pc and not READ them there, then use PIM Manager to do a complete backup on your storage card. Remove the backup from the card, and move it to your PC. Then delete all your SMSes from your phone.... If you want to reinstall ALL SMSes at a future date, do a backup, put the old, stored backup back on your storage card, restore the OLD backup, then restore the NEW backup, making sure that on the second restore you untick the boxes telling it to delete messages
EDIT:
Just checked MyPhone FAQs, and yes, the archived material CAN be restored to the phone.
gonna try it now!
thanks for the response!!
Hi all,
I just tried upgrading to cyanogenmod 2.1 - SUCCESS (thanks to this forum )
but now the next problem has presented itself... is it possible to restore my backup (more specific: text messages)?
I made a nandroid backup, and after I got to 2.1 I restored... and it did a good job, I got back to the original 1.6.
So put all this information in one question: is it possible to backup + restore my personal settings (text messages) without restoring the firmware?
Or is the backupfunction just a "I just f***ed up my phone"-lifeline?
Thanks
I see that you said you restored back to 1.6 fine using nandroid - have you checked to see if you still have your messages OK? If not then they are probably gone for good. Cant remember if you get messages back with Nandroid, as I have used BART the last couple of times which definitely included messages.
If that worked and you still have your messages, you need to use a backup app and backup those items prior to flashing 2.1, then you can just restore the messages.
I use MyBackUp Pro (there is a full test version that lasts 30 days so would probably be good for a one off demo - but is worth paying for full version as per my explanation) - it allows you to back up all apps incl their data, plus a lot of the paid apps and their data too under the app backup option; and then they also have a data backup option which allows you to backup things like contacts, sms, your home pages etc. Of course you can choose to back up all or pick individual items and its the same for restore.
This is very useful when wiping the phone, as you restore your apps backup first, then restore your data backup - thus it will also install all the widgets as the apps are already loaded - if you do it the other way around your widgets wont work and you will have to remove them from the home screen and then put them back again.
I am giving away my phone to a friend, but how do I "clean" the phone?
Like, I want to erase/uinstall all the apps I've downloaded and installed, empty my messages, folders and camera files... Make it look like "new"..
Can I save my sms/text messages + contacts and their details on my PC or something? Or can I perhaps put them on my sim-card as I won't be giving away the sim-card?
I will be using another android phone, of course.
There are various programs on the market that perform sms backups/restores. I use SMS backup+ to backup my sms every few hours automatically to my gmail account under a label entitled "SMS." I think there is an option to restore SMS in that app too.
As for contacts, they should be backed up with your google account (email). Log into your google account on a computer and under contacts will be various groups. I've created a group specifically with phone numbers to appear under my contacts on android (Contacts [push menu]> display>click google account.and check the contact group you want on the phone).
By default, google will back up your contacts. Under settings, push accounts and sync, and manage your google account. There, the Sync contacts should be enabled and all of your contacts will sync to the google account (where you can edit the groups I've outlined above).
I would connect the phone to a computer, create a folder, and copy all of the contents of your SD card into that folder just in case. When you're ready to pass on the phone, wipe the sd card (on the computer or on the phone by settings>storage>erase sd card).
Reboot into recovery and wipe data, cache, etc. There might be a factory reset option as well. If you aren't rooted, I'm not sure, but there might be a key sequence that does the wipes for you. Try a google search for that.

market - smsbackup - works great here, puts all your sms on your sdcard. then email them to yourself.
then
settings - factory reset (wipes everything you ever did off the phone)
if you make a TiTanium Backup of the device first, you can just move everything from the sdcard to your new phone, or let google take care of the settings (online backup). either way, it's pretty painless.
what are you getting next ?
should take
If you're rooted you can data wipe from within CWM and format your sd card and also for backing up you can use mybackup very handy application. It'll backup your apps, sms, call logs, contacts and your media(camera pictures, videos)
Menu -> Settings -> Privacy -> Factory Data Reset
Hello
I switch ROMs from time to time and whatsapp is the only app that gives me issues. Sometimes i even flash 3 ROMs in a day. I usually backup my apps using Titanium Backup and restore app+data once on the new ROM. There are times that i only backup whatsapp app+data as there is a 24 hour restriction on re-registering with whatsapp servers ( sms or calls ) . Anyone know a workaround this ?
I usually backup whatsapp app+data and then restore it once on the new ROM. The problem with this is that even though i get my whatsapp data back and apply the required permissions , I am still not able to get push notifications from whatsapp. I have to launch the app to check for new messages. For me to get the push notifications , i have to uninstall the app , reinstall and do the registration again.
Is this tied into Google connectivity services or Android ID as a new one is generated upon the TibU install ? How does everyone else get around this being a flashaholic ? :fingers-crossed:

This is a bug
Happened to me way before
This is what i do
Backup chats within the whatsapp settings (just to be sure if TB gives some prob, can happen so why not take precautions )
Then downlaod whatsapp from play store and restore your data when setting up the device
Or
Backup app+data from TB
Download whatsapp from store
And without opening it go into settings and give all the permissions and then switch to TB select whatsapp and select restore data only
And you should be good to go.
Cheers :highfive:

Thnaks I will follow your method next time , appreciated!
Why dont you just allow Whatsapp to do a backup of your messages (in the middle of the night) and then just use Whatsapp to restore them after you flash your new rom? Do you actually modify a lot of settings in Whatsapp?

Backing up is not the issue , there is a 24 hour limit for registration to whatsapp servers . If SMS is used that option is taken away and then calling option gets available. If that's done too , you have to wait 24 hours
