Has anyone experienced MMS messages being sent again after flashing a rom and restoring messages from backup?
Friends and family told me that I started to send them old MMS's yesterday (fortunately again to the same recipient) and my T-M account says i've already sent 13 of mms (maybe all of I have stored in my phone, i don't use mms a lot).
Please confirm my theory: it's a problem with incompatible MMS storage restored to another ROM with differend kind of message metadata, so the new ROM believed that all MMS are only to be sent. (App used MyBackup Root, migrating from Cronos to SalsaSense with AltMsg)
Please share your similar experiences.

Hey Everyone,
Wanting to flash a new ROM but hate losing my call history and text msg logs. I know it has to be possible to save them to my computer and reload once the new ROM is updated.
So can you help tell me where they are saved in the phone so I can export them.
I am currently using xtrSENSE4.6.5 & using the basic msg program included in the ROM.
Thanks

There are a couple of apps in the market - SMS Backup & Restore and Call Logs Backup & Restore - same developer - that will let you backup and restore texts and call logs across ROMs. The backups are saved to your SD card. The only issue is that the SMS app will not restore MMS messages, but if that's not an issue, this works well.
If it is an issue, there is another pseudo solution (which I actually like more.) SMS Backup+ will backup SMS and MMS messages to a label in your gmail account (by default it is a label called "SMS") and can also store call logs in a label as well (I believe that the label is "Call logs" by default). This can also restore from gmail to a new ROM. It also cannot restore MMS messages, but they will be stored in your Gmail account for reference if you need them. The cool thing about this app is that it runs a backup every time a message is received, or every hour for messages that you send (though if you send and then get a reply the reply will kick off a backup that will grab the one that you sent.) SMS Backup+ can also create a calendar entry in a calendar of your choice for calls (both made and received) if that is helpful.
Just don't make any major drug deals while running that app...lol

I have an unlocked Galaxy S2 running stock Gingerbread (2.3.4), unrooted. A problem has arisen whereby I can no longer send SMS's to one of my contacts (it has never been a problem before). I've tried deleting all previous message threads with that contact, but it didn't help. I then tried deleting the contact and sending an SMS to her number. The message was sent, but when I got a reply I was unable to reply to it. The reply also picked up the other person's name from somewhere, even though I'd deleted the contact from both the phone and my Gmail account.
I've tried both Handcent and the stock messaging app, and neither is able to send an SMS to this person. Other contacts are fine.
Can anyone suggest a fix?

it could be a problem in your network.. i had experienced that before, i tried flashing different firmwares and etc but it still didn't fix the problem.. so might as well call you network provider.
or you could also try to reset to factory settings/wipe data or better yet flash a new firmware
Hi
I too haven't had this problem but a similar one where I can't access contacts on sum card. I think if you have had your phone rooted.and installed ics or another rom it formats it slightly different i think because when I installed the aroma rom I had on when I saved the contacts I could see them but when I switched roms they disappeared. Not sure this answers all your question but might explain why her name popped up after you deleted it. Try installing a simcard viewer I tried this as my next solution and was able to see prior contacts there is one somewhere with no permissions I think.
Hope I helped
The same problem has occured on my Galaxy SII: After the SMS-thread from one contact got deleted I can't send SMS to her, I get status "failed" and under message details it says "Error code 1", I receicve messages from her but can't answer them, however an MMS with a picture got sent yesterday.
Has anyone with similar problems found an answer?
I eventually flashed new firmware: Stock ICS via Kies (4.0.4). Still can't send an SMS to the contact though. Has anyone else resolved this yet?
Hey folks.
I recently discovered a great app named "SMS Backup & Restore" which I now happen to be the owner of the PRO version. Things is, that the backup works fine, but upon restoring, messages seem to get restore the wrong order - most of the messages are in the same thread, but completely mixed up. And I don't miss a few, I miss a lot.
The FAQ of the developer says that osme SMS cannot be backed up nor restored since it currently does not support MMS messages. But I'm extremely sure that most messages are just SMS. Did such happen to any of you, too? How to resolve this? And could that be dou to the use of GoSMS Pro which I use as my phone messaging app?
Any help is very much appreciated.

That is the only app I use for sms backup & restore since I have android phone. Never had any problems, except when on restore, threads (not messages) are not sorted in order in which I backed them up. Ofc, I just sort them by "most recent" in messages app. I used Handcent sometimes, but never had problems with dissapearing messages. Backup app and messaging app use xml, which is stored on phone, so I don't think it matters which one messaging app you use.

Thanks for helping, PROleev. Is there a way to clean up the XML-File I have? It contains multiple messages and upon restoring, it does not delete the duplicates although I enabled the option in the program. Furthermore, it seems that it saved messages with the completely wrong time. Therefore, restoring the messages results in a mess I don't know how to resolve.. except for to delete everything.

You're welcome.
Here is the app for duplicate messages, and it should help you (I didn't try it, but users say that it does its job). It is slow if you have a couple of thousands messages. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10377014&postcount=1
I have to make a correction..mesagge applications read from data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db (database file), but they save messages as .xml which you can open in any xml viewer or MS Excel..

Hello XDA
I'am in dire need of your help and expertise. Last wednesday my LG G2 had a problem with its clock, and I have a feeling that it somehow conflicted with ingoing/outgoing messages - Is that even possible?
My real problem is that troughout wed-friday I had troubles recieving and sending SMS, or so I thought. 1 SMS that was sent to me on wednesday arrived friday and that it when I noticed that something was wrong. Afterwards every message I sent was almost instantly disappeared from my message app but my contact recieved the SMS even though. Also any incomming SMS would display in the notification bar and the dropdown function android has, but when I opened the SMS to the message viewer the SMS would disappear almost instantly before I could have a chance to read it through.I have a feelling the it is not deleted and stil resides somewhere within my phone. Can you help me find it or somehow restore it if that what takes?
Side note:
I've heard that you can use various android SMS recovery tools, but that should - correct me if I'am wrong - require a root of your phone. But if I root my LG G2, wouldnt the phone reset and the data get whiped along with my SMS ?
Thanks in advance.
Try using SMS backup and restore by ritesh sahu from google play store.

Hey guys, I was hoping you might be able to help me with a problem I've been having.
I have an HTC One, stock rom with custom launcher/home screen.etc, and I am trying to manage a very large volume of sms (50,000+).
When I first got this phone, I never told it to delete old messages as I liked to create backups. However, now the phone is just too bogged down as a result of all these messages.
I would like to have the phone start deleting messages once they get above a certain number. So to do this, I created a backup of all the SMS messages using the HTC stock messaging app as well as the SMS backup+ app. I then deleted all the messages, and used the stock SMS restore feature with the "delete old messages" option selected under the settings.
The problem is this thing has been running for 6 hours now, and I am not sure it is getting anywhere. How would you guys handle this situation?
Thanks for your help!
