So I have ATT advanced messaging turned on. The problem is that if I use an app besides smart switch to backup sms messages, it only captures received messages. Apparently it's some restriction with Advanced Messaging.
Does anyone know of a way to view smart switch backed up sms messages? I have a friend that lost our conversation, and I was trying to provide a copy but nothing seems to work. Thanks!

Hi,
I have searched high and low and am yet to find a definitive answer about how to get it to work.
People saw that you can use Handcent & also GO SMS to do group messaging but I am yet to be able to get it to work, is there a step by step guide by someone who is actually able to get the Grouped SMS to work. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 and an iPhone 4S and I have stopped using the S3 until I can get it to work as it does on the iPhone.
I apologise if my searching was not exhaustive!
Thanks
Matt
Threaded SMS is already enabled by default.
You want group messaging.
Go into GoSMS settings and make sure you have Group Messaging options turned on. There are options in the Advanced menu under the Send and Receive settings.

I am at work and the phone is at home but I am pretty sure it was already turned on. Are you able to send Group Messages on yours? Are there any other settings I need to have turned on or off?
how do i set tasker to trigger sms backup everytime i get a text
Hi, I think thiss wil do:
Backup SMS, MMS and call logs automatically on Android device
You can back up anything to the cloud storage service. However with text messages, when you perform factory reset or switch handset, the messages will be completely lost.

I found only one problem: at SMS backup+ app - It can't be seen, that backup runs (last backup xx.xx.xx xx:xx date/time), but with click "backup now" It shows "nothing to backup" and data is already at GMAIL/IMAP destination.
Anybody try any app which you can hide private texts like vegas sms and go sms pro etc but you can still use the AOD(always on display) and show the icon for new texts that cane in. I guess it needs to still use the native app in order to work. Looked in the store there are so many apps don't want to try them all.
And can be backed up by sms backup and restore
Hello,
I would like to know how I can disable the automatic conversion sms in mms from the stock application without root?
1. Unless you're messaging a group, SMS won't be converted to MMS.
2. The default Messages app also supports RCS on most networks (e.g. on my Vodafone HU model, it received and displayed RCS messages with ease), so that might also be happening in your case.
Any ideas how to disable this SMS to MMS?
Even longer message to only one person results in conversion to MMS. I want to disabe this whout root. Thank you for any tips.
My problem is SMS messages to one recipient always automatically to MMS. All the others go normally. I'd like to stop this one from converting as I usually don't have data on and don't wont to turn it on only to send one message. I'm using the S8 with the Samsung messaging app.
i have the same problem, when my text exceeds the 3 sms it automatically converts to mms.. I know someone with the samsung J5 and on this phone it doesn't converts..
I would of thought it would be possible on the S8, but i can't seem to find any settings for this.
Is there any way to stop the conversion to mms?
If I remember correctly, than Samsung devices with 6.0 or older allowed you to write 10 SMS, before it converts to MMS. With 7.0 and newer it allows only 3. It's very annoying for me, because when I type in my language, with specialized characters, one SMS is about 60 symbols. It's very, very frickin annoying.
There use to be an Xposed module for this, but it doesn't work on Samsung's with 7.0+.
Any fix for this?
yes a fix would be great even with root. because sms is free mms is not!
I have a Samsung Galaxy S10 plus and I'm using the stock Samsung messaging app. I am now trying to switch to the Google SMS messages app. I have switched back and forth between these apps a very long time ago although I can't remember when the last time was that I did it.
Now when I enable the Google SMS messages app as default, all of my incoming texts show up but none of my outgoing texts are there although they are all still there in the Samsung SMS app. I have tried using two different backup programs and both seem to be only backing up my incoming messages. I have tried clearing the cache on the new SMS app. I tried using Textra and Handcent just to make sure it isn't specifically the Google Messages app. Same issue. I really would like to switch to the Google app but I cannot lose the text messages.
This is very clearly an issue with the stock Samsung SMS app, I'm just hoping there's some kind of work around. Any suggestions would be appreciated!
Suggestions are appreciated
Which sms backup apps did you use?
I used SMS Backup and Restore, SMS Backup+ and Super Backup and Restore.
I use SMS Backup and Restore and have no problems backing up both outgoing and incoming messages. Did you check the backup files? When I view them, I see my outgoing texts as well as the incoming texts. When I switched to Google Messages from Samsung's on the S8, I had no issues with seeing my outgoing texts. When I upgraded to the S10+ and restored my texts from SMS Backup and Restore, it restored everything, not just incoming texts.
