Whenever I backup my texts and restore them after flashing a new ROM, I seem to have an issue where my texts aren't restored in the order that I received them. This makes things troublesome as they are no longer in conversation form. Is there anyway to fix this issue? Thanks.

Hello everyone,
Having a problem since flashing from stock WM 6.1 rom over to a 6.5 Rom like Mighty Rom.
Can't seem to restore my old sms text messages properly. Tried PIM Backup, SPB backup and Microsoft Myphone with no luck.
I mean they do actually restore the messages except they are scrambled and not in order by the correct date and time. This means when I go to view a threaded convo or use the manila "reply" option the previous text conversation is there but not in the order in which it was originally. This is unfortunately not much help.
I'm not sure if this is a known issue with flashing from 6.1 to 6.5 or not but if anyone knows a way to successfully do this it would be very appreciated.
Well apparently found a fix but didnt really fix it. Someone suggested restore the sms, turn off threaded sms, soft reset, turn it back on and soft reset again. That did resolve placing them in order when I click on "all messages" and in the text message inbox and threaded convo they are all in order.
My problem now lies in the manila sms threading. As in when you scroll to the sms tab, flick through messages and click on the screen and it takes you to a threaded convo showing you a small pic of that person and gives you the little text box on the bottom of the screen to enter a reply and you press "send" on the screen.
Anyway on that screen all previous messages are still scrambled. If anyone knows a fix please share!! Thanks!!
Same problem here. Hoping someone has a solution; it's not critical in any way, but annoying.
I restored with PIM backup after turning off Threaded messages. Then I turned on threaded messaes and the phone takes about 2 hours to sort 3000 SMS. I can see now threaded messages but also have the problem in Manila SMS's threading. New messages come in the right order but restored wont.
I think we need some kind of back up utility that restores messages one by one, from older to newer, both sent and received mixed up. Restore utility at PIM backup will restore Received messages then sent messages and thats why Manilla scrambles. Any idea?
Hey guys, I have just tried doing a hard reset and recover using the built in backup. It restored my data perfectly after the hard reset, although now when I recieve messages, the message does not go under the correct conversation.
For example I already have a conversation with BOB and JANE. I get a sms from JANE, which shows up inside BOB's conversation.....
I installed handcent sms which I guess I will uninstall and see how it goes. Just wondering if anyone else has had this issue?
So far the only way to resolve this in my experience was to delete ALL sms threads. All the sms I am now receiving are going to the correct conversations. What a stupid bug.
I just went into my gf's conversation on my phone, then sent a sms through it, it went to my boss....WTF? I get a sms back from him and it goes into my gf's conversation.....
I'll divide into both;
Messages; I am happily backing up my sms using sms backup and restore; and when i flashed a new rom, i had no problems with it restoring my sms. but i have one question, why all my mms didnt appear? t just appeared as blank messages. i would love if my mms would be shown in the messages too.
Call logs; I tried myBackupProand restored my call logs. the problem is, after restoring my contacts, and restored the logs, it wont recognize the contacts. it just shows the numbers, not the contact name that i saved. is there any other apps that does this perfectly? i've installed Call logs backup and restore but i kinda afraid to use it cuz afraid it'll be the same as myBackuPro. if someone could enlighten me would be great.
Thanks!
Is there a way to save then reinstall the call log? Can someone tell me the location of the Call Log or Call History file / directory? I'm installing a different ROM and want to save it. What about saving SMS's. Where are they stored?
There are apps for both of those, I've seen them on the market but I'm not sure of the names

I use Mobile Backup 2 to back up my sms & call log. I have over 6000 texts that I backup (most are from my son in the Army - when I start missing him too badly I go back and re-read them). This works great to restore.
If you use Handcent for your messaging MB2 will restore your messages backwards (oldest on top) but the stock messenger is perfect.
Check out SMS Backup + it backs up SMS, MMS and call logs to your gmail account. You can also restore SMS and call logs to a new ROM but not MMS. You can set it up to continuously back up either hourly or daily or just on demand.
Be careful on your initial backup though, it only does the first 100 messages per contact, so run the backup, delete the messages it backed up, then run the backup again and repeat, continuing the process until everything is backed up. After that it will work smoothly. It's also great because you can delete SMS from your phone which take up a surprisingly large chunk of internal storage.

If you haven't heard by now, there's been some strings in the Android Messages app indicating that there are going to be some new features coming to the app, potentially including RCS enabled by Google.
That sounds all fine and dandy; there's a number of benefits to rcs over sms. One problem though, is there doesn't seem to be a way to back them up. I'm someone who likes to back up all of my text messages - I've been using SMS backup and restore to do weekly backups for a little while now, and can take the resulting xml file anywhere i need to, and carry my texting threads to a new phone if I need to.
So when RCS inevitably becomes available (i'm on project fi), how can those be backed up? I've been searching all over for a while, and there doesn't seem to be a solution to this yet. Are they stored in the same directory as regular text messages? Why can't apps that backup sms/mms messages also backup rcs messages? is it just a matter of them being updated to include the capability, or is there a technical limitation to that?
tl;dr How can you backup rcs messages?
Unfortunately, you will have to downloada third party texting app. I'm having the same issue with my tmobile s9. I'm using the Mood messenger app. So far so good. Hopefully sms back up and restore comes up with an update supporting this RCS crap..
