Hi all,
Since MS Myphone service is not working with WP7 for backing up the short messages, is there any way or a software to backup all contacts, SMS, and others. Most importantly SMS. How can I get a backup for SMS messages.??
Thanks a lot for any advice in advance..
Does anybody know where the sms are stored in file system? If we knew this maybe we could just backup those files via Touchxperience file explorer (Beta).
I posted in another thread about this, because I was also looking for a way to backup my messages. I didn't really find a "real" way. But what I found is, in my opinion, better than nothing. I like to keep my SMSs for sentimental reasons, so if you only want to be able to read them again in the future, I have a theory of how to do so. I took my SD card out of my HD2 and booted WP7, all of my contacts, messages, account info, was gone. I put the SD back in and it was all back to normal. So, I assume that if you back up your SD card with EASEUS partition manager (I think there is a tutorial on this in the dual booting android and wp7 thread) you can keep the backup on your computer and save it for later. I haven't actually tried this, but because nobody seems to be working on this, I thought it might be worth mentioning.

It's true.
Works fine for me. I use it to backup apps, however.
Good post. It never hurts to do a backup. But it doesn't help when you upgrade the build, all messages etc will be lost.
Edit; Looked at easeus partition manager and it seemed that the only way to copy a disk partition is to create a new partition on your hard disk, thus erasing the whole hard disk! How do you do it Domenukk?
Also I may be wrong about losing all data when upgrading eg to nodo. If this is possible to do a backup, after upgrading the ROM the backed up sdcard could be re-inserted, it might work! Dont know
Edit 2; found thread titled "[Q] Backing up or Imaging SD card partitions" which explains how to backup to hard disk using ease-us. Another poster suggests using a usb stick or external hard drive instead of precious internal one.
a while ago there were rumurs of Myphone for WP7
http://wmpoweruser.com/my-phone-for-windows-phone-7-pictured/
Has there been any updates?
Right now this is the only thing that is preventiong me from making my HD2 with WP7 my main phone.
you could use "copy and paste" to copy each sms message to Office, then put the file in Dropbox and retrieve on your laptop.
I have tried this and only the message gets copied, not the sender or date/time. you would have to add this for every text in Office
It is useful though for important stuff.
If you download apps via Zune to your phone, they are remembered when you change your ROM, though doesn't work for XApps.
Contacts- saved to sim or synched via windows live account.
Come on thebranded, dive in
hi, its going to be stored somewhere, i backup my programs data files, even after a reflash and upgrade i can use the backups to restore the data for the apps, works great for things like petrol usage, fitness programs etc
anyhow, the SMS files must be located somewhere on the card as well, why dont we get to gether, get a sms message and record the time stamp, turn off the phone and then search the phone looking for files edited at that time stamp
i thnk you can just use zune and sync it

as i said, it doesnt backup SMS messages. If you were about to update the device it would do it, but we cant, and we probably shouldnt even if we could.
Since I have my Note 3 retted have a weird problem where I have cause not yet obsolete.
If I remove or something new place in my ex sd card and restart it, then that is negated and then state that I did not delete it again, or is that beyond that I have is gone. Posted
Ie mn card is exactly as it was before.
Somewhere is thus always a backup put back but do not know which program is responsible for it.
've Backup program, s removes and then done the same, but that does not matter, then there happens the same. So I think that the unit itself does, but can not find anything in the settings.
Anyone here have an idea?
Gr JB.
I've been on the NO_BS Verizon ROM for months. Yesterday I flashed to the latest Verizon build and did a factory reset. Now my music apps and gallery will not read from my SD card. I can access the SD card from ES File Explorer, and the SD card shows in settings, so it's not an SD issue. Has anyone run into this issue? If so, what's the fix?
I left out a ton of information when I posted that. I forgot to mention that I made backups before I factory reset, then rooted and restored data with FlashFire before reflashing again with Home_CSC.
The issue was dirty system data. Since I changed the build, it was significant enough of a difference in the system data that it caused some issues, including SD issues, no incoming call notifications, Netflix drops, ect. I'm updating this in case anyone else makes the same mistake I did.
I have a samsung galaxy tab A 7.0. It is rooted. It was working fine until today. I took the SD card out and transferred some files to it from my computer. But when I put it back in my tablet it messed up really bad. Certain apps didn't work anymore (faded). When I tried to open one it said app isn't available. Some kind of way I think my SD card got corrupted. What's worse is that I can't reinstall titanium backup. When I try to it says, app not installed. When I try to install it from the play store i get error code -504. I've been trying to fix my device all day. I am beyond frustrated. Can anyone help me out with this?

Remove TB first then reinstall.
I'm guessing it's because of the latest firmware update, but I used to have all my folders (Documents, Music, Pictures, Download, Textra just to name a few) default save location to my SD card. I no longer can. Now, the only one I can get to go there is just my pictures. This made it easy for me when I needed to wipe phone and start fresh again. Does anyone know if I would need to Root my phone in order to override this and do it on my own? I have rooted in the past, but haven't in years due to the freedom we had. Any help or info would be great!
Thanks!
