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.

I recently changed from a rooted Droid 1 to rooted Droid 2 and used 'sms backup and restore' to move my texts to the new phone. After doing so I can no longer receive or send texts with either the stock app or chomp sms. I could send and receive before I restored the old messages.
The stock texting app sits at the load screen with a red circle spinning and never shows any of the old texts, while chomp sms lists all my old conversations and lets me type a text but after hitting 'send' it hangs.
I've tried uninstalling chomp and clearing the data/cache of the stock app with no success. Is there anything else I can try?
New new version of Hangouts has SMS and MMS integrated into it. I was wondering whether Hangouts stores SMS on servers, or if you wipe your phone and install a new ROM the SMS is gone, just like the stock SMS app?
SMS are gone when clean flashing a different ROM. Use SMS Backup and Restore.
I recently upgraded to Nougat Pure Nexus. Before I did, I made a backup of my SMS messages with Titanium Backup. When I had everything installed, I booted up and then restored my SMS messages. This took about 45 minutes. During that time, I had a friend send me a test text message. I never received the message. After the backup was done all of my messages were there but the one that was sent while I was restoring my messages never appeared in Textra or the default Google Messenger app. Is there any way to see if I missed other messages or get those back that I received while doing a restore? I think this may be due to the fact that Titanium set itself as the default SMS app when restoring messages but I would have thought that they would still come in anyway. Can anyone help me with this? I fear I missed important messages.
I'm on Verizon FYI.
EDIT: checked with Verizon. Nothing lost I don't know how to delete this thread.
Hi Guys,
I have imported my SMS messages from iOS to my new OnePlus 5 and I am facing a strange issue.
I have used iSMS2droid with a backup from iTunes and also SMS Backup and Restore. The weird thing is the messages show up only in the OxygenOS stock messages app and not in Google Messages. Also they are not grouped correctly (some SMS from the same number show up in different threads) and they are not ordered by date.
Any help would be really appreciated. I've already tried to delete them and re-import from SMS Backup and Restore but with no luck.
Thank you
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!
