The app that was mentioned is good, but you can also use GOSMS, I personally prefer it to the out of the box sms but its all just personal preference
SMS Backup+
it will back up your text and media messages to your GMAIL....
I use SMS Backup+ to backup to my GMail account and Go SMS Pro to backup to my Ext. SD card so I can restore them after flashing a new ROM.
SMS Backup And Restore worked great! It took all of about a minute to do too. Thanks so much!
I use My Back up Root

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

Hey all. I have a question. I have a friend that was recently testing out SMS backup and from what he is seeing, if a text message is deleted right after it is sent or received, he doesn't see the message and it doesn't appear to get backed up. I was curious if any of you guys have come across a better app that can backup in real-time so that the message can't be deleted before it can be backed up?
Just use go sms pro and use the backup and restore feature and uninstall if needed

The stock app is capable of this.... Just go into the menu in messages and go to backup sms.

Thanks so much! I guess I should have looked just a little harder hahah!
I stopped using the SMS application, OR my actual phone number entirely. I use Google Voice for all phone calls and texts... and this way everything is stored on their servers and I never ever have to worry about losing a voicemail, text message, or call log again.
SMS Backup+ ... I think this may be a perfect app for exactly what you need. It backs up SMS and MMS to your Gmail account under an "SMS" label, and can restored your messages as well. Seamless, works in the background, you'll never notice it, it just works. Oh, and ... it has to be the version with the "+" on the end of the name, if you want to back up MMS.
My Backup Pro ... You can also use My Backup to easily backup and restore your messages. I still prefer SMS Backup+, though, because you never have to do anything manually ever after you install it.
Hey members. Just wanted to know what apps you guys are using to backup and restore your text messages, I'm flashing roms more lately and I'm tired of loosing my texts.
Gobackup, straight forward and simple

titanium backup for me
sms backup and restore, works great. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5yaXRlc2hzYWh1LlNNU0JhY2t1cFJlc3RvcmUiXQ..
sms backup+
restores date and order, which i don't think any of the above do. but it does take a long time, be forewarned.
titanium keeps them in order
really? it's never worked that way for me, which is why i always go back to sms backup+
so it keeps everything dated and ordered correctly?
I've always used MyBackup Root for my apps+data / sms and mms.
Hello,
I have a Droid 2 Global. I am using GOSMS and I really like
to keep all my text messages.How ever I accidentally started the stock text messaging app
and it trimmed (deleted) my messages back to 200!
No I know you cant restore them after this BUT I have
Titanium backups from right before this happened, but if I
restore them I will loose new messages.
Is there a way to merger the SMS messages?
