Android sms to Iphone

Hi, I was looking into getting the iphone 4 but wanted to find out the best way to get my sms from my g1 to the sim or iphone. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks

bleh why would you wanna do that??? I'd say your best bet is to find a phone store that has a cellbrite machine. Or don't be a zombie and just get a sick new Android device and don't give in to the hype of the sub-par iPhone 4.

AFAIK SIM cards can only hold 20 texts, that is the least of your problems though.
As of iOS 3.1.3 you can't copy texts from the SIM to the Phone. Also there are no apps that will let you edit SMS entries on the iPhone.
In shot, it isn't feasable...

64K Sims will store 50 sms', 128K will hold 100.
the cellbrite solution as mentioned already will be your BEST bet, which can be done in the store, i doubt an Apple store will have this device, so go to the phone store.
although, if that's not a possibility, and you really wanna get down and dirty... you would have to find a way to convert the sms xml file into a database file for the iphone. i've seen some sites that can convert the iphones sms database file into xml but not the other way around...

if the iphone is jailbroken you could go to /private/var/mobile/Library/SMS and edit the sms.db file some how and import the xml data, but that right there just seems like a big headache. you can open that file with something like SQLite which is freeware...

Just resend all the texts you have, hahaha

Use sms backup, it wl automatically backup all your texts to your gmail account.. and then get a new android phone, cause iphone 4, while it is an amazing device, it is still locked down and has limitations to wat devs can do.

I will give sms backup ago, and I will still be using my rooted g1 but I can't escape the apple lure

Well why don't you get an iPod Touch, if you seriously want the apps the iPhone has. Do you really need a phone which is overrated, forces against your will to use iTunes, has crap battery life, crap reception and absolutely locked to the hilt when it comes to writing apps for it. Not to mention if the battery goes bung, prepare to ride the shaft to get a new battery, since it can't be easily replaced. Trust me, an Android phone is more flexible. Ditto with the old WinMo 6.5 and even SymbianOS.
Mate, stick with Android and get yourself an HTC Desire, get an iPod Touch, you'll be alright. Don't believe the iHype.
Edit: realised you were from Britain, so deleted mention of AT&T. My bad.

Any way of transfering SMS from iPhone to Nexus 4?

This might not be the right place to ask, but here goes...
Any way of transferring my iPhone 4 (iOS 5.1) SMS to my Nexus 4 that I'll be receiving in a couple of days? Preferably a free method. It's not that important, but something that would be nice if possible.
Thanks

no

Transfer SMS from iPhone to Nexus 4
None of the free ones work very well at all, I've tested them all out over the past couple of days. I ended up buying Backuptrans software (about 25 bucks) and it worked perfectly, transferred every SMS into the Nexus 4.
Be sure and up your Text Message Limit to max (5000) per conversation on Messages Settings screen also!

Yes there is. I can't remember now but there are apps on the PlayStore that help to do so. You'll have to extract the file needed from your iPhone first though.

Yeah I heard about Backuptrans, but I'm not sure if I want to pay $25 to do this though. At least it's an option if I do want to go that way.

Thanks, I'll try and find out what apps they are. Extracting the file isn't a problem, I'm jailbroken and I do manual backups every once in a while.

Can't you export to sim card?

Transfer Data 4s to N3 - Free or Paid?

Can someone recommend a free "reliable" program to transfer my data on my 4s to my new N3, or do I need a "paid" program?
(there is too much info on Google to sift through, I respect/trust the recommendations of you guys).

I used the samsung smart switch. http://www.samsung.com/us/smart-switch/
Just back up your iphone (I had a 4s as well) and then plug in your note 3, run the program and select the things you want to transfer. Worked perfectly for me except for emails, which I just entered my user accounts and passwords, synced, and done. Everything was there from photos to contacts to text messages. Actually-music didn't transfer but that was a plus for me cause I wanted to get rid of itunes anyway, so i just dragged and dropped everything into my sd card that I ended up using.

Google Voice MMS now supports VZW

Im sure most of you read the news about hangouts now supports vzw mms or vzw finally supporting google voice... regardless, this is great news for me since my primary phone has being my Google voice for a long time.
I'm looking forward to a way of making hangouts being less laggy on the Note, if anyone was able to make it more smooth, please share.

I'm one of the people who think one laggy app can't be the result of defective device. Just makes no sense. Thanks anyway bro

while I tend to agree with you, I have a note 4 on Verizon and hang outs is not lagging for me. If you do a search in xda there are people talking about this problem.

Right... it is weird, it is very laggy on my wife's S5, was laggy on my S5. It is laggy on a G3 I have laying around and also on my Galaxy Tab S. I have a original Moto X and on the Moto X it isn't laggy... I'll keep an eye on the development of this issue, I have 2 year warranty anyway (and never keep a phone for that long) if it turns out to be a defective device I'll replace it.

Thanks for this! I've been giving out my Google Voice number for years and the whole MMS thing has been the one thing I hated about it.
I just tested with a friend who sent me a pic and it got shifted over to email. Not ideal, but since I get email on the phone too it's a lot better than it just disappearing into cyberspace.
I haven't integrated Hangouts with Voice yet so maybe that's why it got turned into an email. I've been hesitant to integrate the two. Does anyone know how to separate them again if I try it and don't like it?

I don't know how to separate them, never tried really but the reason you got the picture on an email is because the Google voice app doesn't support pictures, even back in the day when T-Mobile and Sprint were the only two supported for MMS I think it was received as an email.
Make the jump to hangouts and it will all work fine. By the way, when you switch it to hangouts, you'll have to forward your calls again to your Verizon phone # OR you can use the hangouts app to make and receive phone calls. The calls handled by hangouts are over WiFi or data, like VOIP

I think that guy had more of a serious problem.
I have tested 8 Notes at 4 different verizon stores now and they all have horrible lag in hangouts.

So tell me how you are experiencing lag? as I don't seem to notice any?

When you hit send, the animation is all jerky. On Motorola devices or nexus, it's butter smooth

so you can receive mms messages now via hangouts.. but you cant send a mms via hangouts ... Is this correct?

My understanding and experience so far is you can send MMS, get MMS, whichever. Group messages aren't working, though, so not that kind of MMS!

According to this http://www.droid-life.com/2014/11/10/google-voice-mms-messaging-support-for-verizon-now-official/ , group messaging is being worked on and will "be enabled in a coming update".

[Request] Samsung Messages Port

Here's the deal:
I've got a Samsung Gear S3. For the messages app to appear on my watch, I normally need a Samsung phone to pair with, otherwise, the app won't appear, and you can only deal with messages only when receiving one, which is a limited and limiting functionality. The only way I could have it work is possibly by getting a Samsung Messages app, which can only be functional if ported for the OnePlus 6T. If there's anyone who can do such a thing and help me out, I would really appreciate it. Otherwise it's fine. Just thought I'd ask.
Thank you,
Savz

Just go into your S3 and pull the app, then side load it on the 6t, but I'm pretty sure you are going to need more than just the app

The app is hidden on my Gear S3. To become visible, I guess it must detect the Samsung messages app on my 6T, which is the reason I want a port for the 6T.

Mine is working fine with Google messages... Also using Gear S3.
EDIT: Nevermind... I misread your post. Yeah, no creating texts on the watch.

Use Pulse as your SMS app. There is also a Pulse Samsung wear app you can download. Both are free, I use them on my 6t and my Galaxy Watch. Problem solved.

Yeah the apps are free, but I didn't realize that you needed to purchase the account to use the wear app. Sorry I didn't realize that because I have a lifetime license for Pulse but I didn't realize it was required

I bought the lifetime subscription for Pulse and use it on all my devices. Totally worth it! Just do it and you won't regret it!
