So, with the death of MyPhone I'm looking for an alternative way to sync/archive/delete SMS messages from my phone easily. Since the phone slows to nothing with too many SMS messages on it I loved how I could go into MyPhone and easily delete messages from contacts I didn't care about (twitter, short codes, etc) and archive the ones I wanted to save but not keep on the phone.
Any suggestions to replace this functionality? I've found the BestBuy M:IQ works pretty good for everything else but this.

My inbox shows 6 messages, but once you clik to enter, it only shows 1K on the right side and nothing ever opens up, the rest of folders seem OK, even new ones. It is something that affects only SMS messages and that I could not repair by reinstalling the program.
Has anyone faced the same problem and found a solution? It is rather annoying when you are abroad, like I am now, not being able to read any of my text messages.
Thanks,
gonz
Slightly different I think, mine would show that I had new text messages but would not display them, the inbox would appear empty, I was using Sprite backup, and discovered that sometimes it would corrupt the mail database after a restore, so downloaded their cleanmail program.

It will all delete all email accounts, text messages and the MMS account but I don't use mms so not to bothered.
Thanks, will try, although it seems I will not be able to read some txt messages, but looks like the only option.
i never thought cleanmail is so useful.
after restoring from a hard reset, about 800+ messages got corrupt and showed up as 1kB messages that wouldnt ever open.
cleanmail trashed em all just like bubbles.
Thanks a lot! Once my text messages account disappered and it can only be fixed with hard reset. With this program i was able to restore from backup and fix the problem! Thanks again!
WHAT A USEFUL TIP
Hey! This cleanmail thing is fantastic!
WHAT A USEFUL TIP.
I don't know who I want to marry more - spritesoftware for coding the app or bluetba for giving the heads-up!

Hey guys,
I want to transfer all my txt logs on to my computer so that I can make a copy of some of them. Any idea how to do this?
I am using stock txt app.
Thanks
Try searching the market for an application to do that.

SMS Backup + backs them up to Gmail
I took advantage of the option to port my sprint number to Google Voice. I have no complaints at all. It works flawless for me. I know there were some mixed reviews about it, but I like the fact that all call logs, text messages, voicemails are all stored online automatically. I archive them the same way as I do my gmail. And they are easily searchable. I also use the Chrome plugin that throws my inbox into my browser where I can text from from a dropdown rather than use my phone when I'm at home. But, it's all preference.

Did you use your sprint number or google voice? I'm doing the exact same thing as you but sometimes my google voice texts aren't pushed to my phone
Just putting it out there to see what recommendations people have for SMS/MMS applications.
I've been using GO SMS but the new backup to cloud and needing a GO id doesn't sit well with me.
Any suggestions?
So deactivate all the extra features from GO?
Handcent SMS is better
Hello,
My Note 4 suddenly did not turn on (hard brick). I received a new device but had two worries (could not reset the old device, could not transfer from it).
Many of my apps autoloaded on the new Note (thanks Android). Pictures, videos, recordings, and screenshots on internal memory were gone and so were old text messages and voicemails. Is there no chance Android/Google stored this automatically somewhere? How do I check?
Why are pending text messages or voicemails not shown? How would I know who tried to contact me in the weeks that the old phone is broken?
In the future I'll save everything (pictures etc...) to the external SD. Can I do daily auto-backups with SMS Backup & Restore for texts? What about voicemails? Is there no way to prevent texts in transit from getting deleted - if my phone doesn't work how can I save texts I've never seen or read??
Thank you.
If you have set up a Samsung account on your phone it will back up sms mms every 24 hours but only on wifi. As far as voicemail if you use the stock voicemail app you can have it set up to forward all voicemails to your email address. From there you can listen to them through your email account.
I have Samsung galaxy S2 upgraded to 4.1.2 … Tests here apply to my machine, but you can be sure, they can be repeated on a lot of other phones. I can not be sure on which one.
When you have several SMS apps, if you sent SMS by one app, randomly one of the other apps sent same SMS again. Each app sent once… but phone sent in double, so network operator charge in double.
In table bellow in red I mark, where this issue is very likely. Example: You sent SMS with the stock ‘messaging’ app… then … these apps will potentially try to sent the SMS too… zero sms, chomp sms, go sms pro, kk sms, easy sms, messenger.
(The image will be added in some different time.)
It is likely, in different times, different programs to be activated. On more modern phones, downgraded to older android, it will be no odd; single SMS to be sent in triple, four times or more.
Usually, if you have bystander apps what sent SMS, they can try to be in service for you and turn on your 2G by themselves and promptly do them job. They no care if SMS created in other app. They just want to be in service to you. This is serious bug in most SMS apps, I know how to fix it, but let SMS apps developers contact me for details.
I notice odd cases. Here described.
Textra mark messages by other programs like sent. But they are not sent. The message sent by textra is invincible to other programs, before sent.
Inside the chomp program, messages sent over chomp are well… but other SMS apps see these messages like sent by the receiver. Some apps detect these messages like not sent, and it is unclear how they’ll send them. This research, I do it without to send SMS, because it is difficult to hunt this problem down to minimal details. Each time, different apps are activated. We are in multitask environment.
Go SMS pro import spam in the conversations. Textra filter this spam in separate conversation.
Next SMS is jealous. It do not love SMS composed in competition app. But SMS by Next are well accepted by these other apps. And they kindly can try to be in service.
Other apps see messages composed in Messenger like already sent.
Resume. SMS apps are not well designed to work cooperatively each with another.
Solution. Chose your favorite SMS app, only disable the stock SMS app, and leave single active SMS app in the phone.
Do you know better way to upgrade SMS functionality compared to replace the stock app with other one? ( Example: how to replace it with two apps? ) Let me know, in reply to this post.
Just now, chomp complained with special notification to me that it wasn’t able to sent the SMS composed in five other programs. All doubts are definitely gone. Once again: SMS apps are very friendly, industrious in care for your job, they do it in double. You compose in one… SMS sent by other, etc…
