Anyone use this app?
For some reason it is not auto backing up my sms or mms... Only call log.
How do I fix this?
Try using SMS Backup+. It will backup your SMS/MMS and has an option to put your call log into a calendar.

Hey guys,
i'm currently using Backup to Gmail to backup my SMS.
However i'm a little bit confused about the way it saves the sender and receiver contacts in gmail.
i can only see the name of the sender in my gmail account sms folder - not the number.
But how about restoring the messages? And especially if there are messages from people i don't have anymore in my contact list.
Can anyone bright me up?
cheers

I've tried searching on the forum and google but cant find an answer.
Using Go SMS.
I am able to send and receive mms with stock message enable while using go sms.
If I disable the stock message and and strictly use go sms I am unable to receive mms.
I have tried setting up the apn again and using the mms settings within the app. No luck to get it to work.
Perhaps the program can not work with mms? Try to contact the developer of Go SMS.
Android has always needed the stock SMS app to send MMS, even when using third party SMS apps, don't disable the stock SMS app, just disable the notifications in the stock SMS app and keep using your preferred third party SMS app.
How do I stop my sms messages from auto backup into my Gmail account?
Go to w.e app you're using and turn it off?
Hi,
How to transfer contacts and texts from Samsung SIII to the 5t? Is there a smart switch or something for non Samsung phones?
Thanks
Your contacts should be linked to your Google account. If they're on your SIM (which IDK why anyone would do these days), you can save them to your Google account on your s3, then when you sign into your Google account on your 5T, they will sync. For calls and texts I use the SMS Backup and Restore app.

Thanks about the contacts restoration, I manually copied them by creating a vcf file last night. About sms backup and restore I tried many apps, they copy each sms individually but when we restore them they are sorted wrongly i.e. not as per dates. Is there any specific app to which you are referring to? Also is there any smart switch type of app for this purpose?

Thanks. Copied contacts by creating a vcf file and then restoring the same. For messages used many apps, they copy each sms individually but after restoring them they are not sorted date wise. Is there any particular app to which you are referring to? Also any smart switch type of app for this purpose?

No prob. The name of the App is SMS Backup & Restore. Just search it in the Play store. It will batch backup all your calls and texts, then you can upload it to Google drive within the app. Search for the upload to G Drive setting in backup settings. Once complete, download the same app on ur 5T, sign in to Google drive within the app, and restore. It will warn you if you don't switch back to ur SMS app and select it as default SMS after restoring, you will not get texts until u do. It does this because it needs to be the default SMS app during restoration.
So I backed up call logs and contacts from titanium backup before and when I tried to restore it, it messed up my contacts and phone app. Contacts app cannot import contacts from google account, it shows error. while contacts from vcf files imports but it doesn't show up in app. phone app does not logs call history, though calling and recieving calls works perfectly. Any fix for this. I'm currently using third party contacts app and dialer app.
You can access the contacts in your google account at contacts.google.com, maybe have a look at them there first, and if they're good, delete the ones on your phone and synch again.

Contacts are there on my account, but contacts app is fails to import contacts from account or even from a vcf file. if i create a new contact than it also doesn't shows up in it.
Anyway I had to factory reset to resolve the issue.
