Hey guys,
Been doing some googling and trying to decide on the best automated sms backup that is more bullet proof restoring like switching from a different brand android phone to another or a newer rom release version.
Would love to hear the best ways...
Can try smsbackup+ hope you will satisfy the app

SmsBackupRestore from play store

The best and easiest is going into settings and clicking "cloud". You can setup your phone to backup sms, mms, call log and wallpaper to the samsung servers. Everytime I do a factory reset my messages and call log gets restored automatically. Better than an app in my opinion.
My Backup Pro from the store. SMS, call logs and much more. It allows you to schedule backups and to store them in a cloud service for easy downloading to a new device.

If you're already using titanium backup, it has call log and sms backup implemented.

The most bullet proof method is
Settings-Cloud-backup.

The stock ROM has T-Mobile Backup pre-installed, check your account and sync settings to make sure it's enabled.
As someone who keeps flashing different roms, titanium backup is a life saver. One thing I can't get it to do is restore all my texts each flash. Anyone have any suggestions for an app that can do this?

Mybackup root from the play store. You can backup SMS, MMS, APN settings, call logs, and other settings. I use it for those mentioned above.

Titanium Backup backs up and restores my text messages successfully with each rom flash I do.
I use sms backup +
It backs up sms/mms/call logs to your gmail account so its good in that I can limit the number of aged texts sitting on my phone knowing everything is backed up and also I can use gmail search to find any aged text I want quickly.
The auto backup feature is also handy once its set you can forget about it.
Restoring is also quick and easy.

Hi all,
I have all my contacts sync with my Google account. One thing that can be done on the note 2 is linking the same contact together across Facebook, whatsapp and linkedin.
I would like to back up this information so I dun have to re-link them again should I change phones. Is this possible?
If so, how does one get to it?
Thanks.

Thanks, mate. Yes it's rooted. I have backed up contact storage, just not sure if that's where all the information is stored.
Thanks for confirming.

I don't it's gonna work like that. You could use an app called sms backup and restore, but that app doesn't restore mms.

Does anyone know if there is a way to backup your default choices? For example on loading a new Rom, even after restoring settings from titanium I still have to choose the default browser etc etc. Could there be a build.prop maybe? Any help would be awesome! Thanks!
edit: Maybe I wasn't clear enough, I want to backup the default selection. Such as if I had 3 different browsers installed and I have a default browser. Is there a way to backup just that info?

You can go to the google play store, there they have many free apps which can backup very
detailed information about your personal things like mms, contacts, email, passwords, bank
accounts, internet favorites, typed urls and other things which may be helpful to you.
The better launchers usually have backup/restore options making it easy to restore their settings.
Many of the better apps and even some games have backup/restore settings too.
If you really want a 100% complete backup so when you flash a new rom and decide that you
don't like it you can simply make a nandroid backup using cwm or twrp recovery before you
flash the new rom and then restore the nandroid backup anytime you like.
Good luck!

Here is an option you might try. My Backup Root (there are 3 flavors) that say they backup APK+DATA and that should give you back your default choices etc.
here's their listing info:
- 0-Click Batch backup of applications APK+Data and Market links. Including protected apps.
- 0-Click Batch RESTORE! of applications APK+Data and Market links
- Unlimited amount of backups
- Scheduled backups
- Backup to SD card (Online option for Pro users)
- Backup of Photos
- Data backup supported BETWEEN DIFFERENT ROMS! of Contacts, Call log, Browser Bookmarks, SMS (text messages), MMS, Calendar, System Settings, Home Screens (including shortcut positions), Alarms, Dictionary, Music Playlists, APNs, Applications with data/settings/market link, Photos, Music, Videos and more...
YMMV, but the app works for me very well.
Aloha and Good Luck!
