Hi the_erk!
But thats for smartphone only. :roll:
I think Sprite Backup may be able to do the job, here:-

provided you know where the sms are stored :roll:

Try Sprite backup..
you can backup EVERYTHING, and restore selectively.
this includes mail, sms, settings, contacts, as well call list and such..
hope that helps..

RE
Hi AntiProxy,
Can you do selective backup instead of everything using Sprite Backup?
Thanks

You could also use Jeyo mobile companion or outlook add-in, available here:

yup, you can choose to backup any of the following separately:
file system, Personal databases, mail, System Data
under File System, you may choose to backup individual paths
under Personal databases, you may choose any of the following individual DBs: Phone (Speed dials, Call logs), Categories, Contacts, Tasks, Appointments
under System data, you may choose any of the following:
Other Databases, File System, Registry.
so in short, yeah, you can backup anything and everything
i personally have it autorun at midnight taking a full backup onto the SD card, with 2 last backups retension..
i know it'll come in handy one day
with the generated backup files being self-contained executables, you can recover from a hard reset without a host computer

Try Jeyo
one of the BEST SMS utitlities for SMSing that I have used so far is the Jeyo Mobile Extender.
It allows you to backup all of your SMSes into the Outlook folders on your PC.
You can even send SMSes from the PC if your PDA is sync-ed.
It doesn't have the option of sending your smses back to the PDA though.
Check it out at www.jeyo.com
It didn't seem to work with my XDA, but worked just fine with the IIs.

Couldn't agree more its great I love it best little download yet

just to tell you, you can't backup subfolders of your sms
ie if you created any subfolders in the sms tree, jeyo doesn't back them up.

Just re-read above post, it's already been explained....use sprite back up..mas

Sorry for being off-topic, but I have searched and searched to my wit's end. Do you plan to have a version of SMS Organizer for the smartphone?

[Q] Best way to backup SMS and MMS

Basically, as the title states I'm looking for options for backing up my SMS and MMS messages.
'My Backup Pro' does a fine job but it doesn't save the time stamps. Once you restore they all show up as new messages basically.
I'm looking for a way to backup, or even better, automatically backup or sync my messages.
(Too bad Google doesn't have a messages sync option like it does with contacts and calendar)
Thoughts?

I havent found a way to backup both SMS and MMS together.
SMS Backup & Restore backs up SMS with the TS and you can restore the backup.
I use Handcent to back up MMS.
Does My Backup Pro backup both SMS and MMS? I should try that out later tonight

Yep, you have the option to backup both. You can also backup apps and data, or either or. I really like the app otherwise.

I use an app called backup to gmail. saves all my sms, mms, call logs
real time

you can save the mms and sms seperately onto your sd card. But as for backing them up the only reason the backup is if your trasfering to another phone or flashing roms. If your trasfering to another phone go to a cellphone store and they can back up messages on a maching called cellebrite and trasfers the complete state of the phone to the other. As for just flashing roms i believe titanium backup will back it up, or you can make a nandroid and dig deep in the nandroid and pull up the messages.

Doesn't titanium backup save those?
I've done several backups/restores here of the call log and sms. Time stamps appear to be preserved. I do believe TB requires root access though.

messages in gingerbread

Hi!
I upgraded my Buzz from Froyo to Gingerbread and I wuold like to know if it's possibile to restore my old text messages that I saved in my sd when I had froyo.
default message application doesn't have the option "restore".
did I lost all my beloved messages?

You had to use a messages backup app before to install a gingerbread ROM

I would like to know if it's possibile to restore my old text messages that I saved in my sd when I had froyo.

U must be talking about custom roms. I think the default message application doesn't have the option to backup messages to sd card. And even it doesn't have the option to restore messages from some source. But u can copy the messages to sim. And if u have backed up the messages with some application, the same application will have to restore them. Or u can search the memory card for .txt or .xml files manually. Generally the backed up messages will be saved in text format.

[Q] Port SMS from stock apk to sense

Hi!
I changed from CM to Sense. I have a copy of sms data made with Titanium Backup.
I want to restore this sms/mms to the default messaging apk in Sense, is that possible? (I tried to restore, but nothing is shown in the app)
Or should I use Hancent instead? Thanks!

Hi, someone?

You can try to install/flash it but most AOSP apps don't work on Sense. Best off with Handscent.

It would be better if you use SMS Backup & Restore (find it on the market).
It backups all of the SMS to an xml file and you can restore it with the same app, and then you don't need to backup the data with titanium (as you said you restore it but there's no data)

[Q] import sms from aosp to sense

Is it possible? I just moved from cm7 to synergy and I did a titanium backup but when I import messaging force closes I'm willing to flash asopif needed

Did you restore system settings as well?

I believe so I imported two portions sms press and one more
I did sms prefs and dialer storage

Re-flash the rom, and and restore only apps and data, never system settings; try that.

So just dialer storage instead?

What do you mean by that?

The only two items I see relating to sms are sms prefs and sms dialer storage in my titanium backup

No, you're gona have to reflash the entire rom, starting over, and when you get to that portion, sinply restore all apps and data, not system settings.

Tried that as well with no luck I guess its because I'm going from 234 down to 233?
