Does anyone know how to transfer SMS/MMS messages and the call log from an Evo 4g to the Evo 3D?
Thanks,
Rif
Sms Backup should work. As for the call log, that's a good question.

Really? Never seem that done
If you don't have an Evo3d well you don't have an Evo3d
I used it to save sms & mms when my og evo's screen was smashed, and since I talk to multiple females, save any pictures that get sent to me without actually keeping them on the phone, that and 'Loky'... I dont use the call log feature though, or used the restore feature since you can just access them anyway through the labels in your gmail. But it works

Are there any apps for text messages?
I use Sync SMS. It requires a (free) Dropbox account but it works well.

Syncsms works well, in conjunction with dropbox. I don't yet see a way to send mms., which would be nice.
I use stock messaging and it works fine for sms and mms as well !

What stock messaging app would that be? I don't have one on mine.
I use TextPlus. You have to download it from Amazon Apps as it doesn't show up in the Market Place. I use the Wi-Fi only version of the Flyer....those with 3G get messaging I think. TextPlus is free and they supply you with a phone number.

I'm in US, so mine's a wi-fi only. I'd like to be able to send MMS, but get around it by using Syncsms for text and email for pictures.
hm.. that's why the application is missing from your device. can't help you....maybe a root access and some tweaks it will be possible, but, is hard to say that as long as have no idea if the hardware support this option

Serious, Text Plus. It's is what I am using. You can send pics. It is free. Amazon Apps. It is free.
Thanks guys these work great. I'm hoping to find a way to forward from my cell number. So far text plus works well. Still notifications are some what slow.
Google Voice works great on mine

Why wouldn't you just use GV?
Google voice works through email and can be repetitive especially if you have multiple devices.

Because I like sending MMS - like pictures and files through texting. Can't do that through GV. It is also available for my iTouch, so my texts are synced with all devices - Android or Apple.
When I send texts sometimes my friends don't receive it and the stock messaging app says its sent. So I try sending one with Google voice (I have Google voice integration) and it gets sent. A few hours pass and my friends get all of the messages they never got at the same time..what should I do besides call sprint? Anyone run into this?

Sprint could be having network issues in your area, which is why it sent with GV but not the messaging app.
It has happened to me before. I called sprint and they said something along the lines of network issue lol.
I wouldn't worry unless it keeps happening.
I agree but would also recommend using handcent as ur msging app. I think its by far a way better app
free the dirk
Thanks guys. Yea I had to open up Google voice and send them manually. I was using handcent but I deleted it because I thought maybe it was causing the problem. Guess I'll just have to call sprint *sigh* haha.

I'm getting ready to root my phone. However I have some very important text messages that I need to save them. Is there a way to do that?
get yourself a backup app or a SMS app that has backup features
sent from my ICS flavored HTC Vigorous Vigor. If I helped please use the "thanks" option!
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.
I might be asking for way too much but...
Is there any way to use a widget or app to switch whether I use Sprint or Google Voice to receive calls and texts? I know Sprint offers integration and can port your number an all. But I only want to use G Voice on an as needed basis.
Who knows, maybe it wouldn't even meet my needs. The reason I'm looking for this is because for whatever reason, while I'm in my office, I can't receive texts and barely get cell coverage... No one can, roaming isn't even an option. But I can connect to wifi.
google voice comes with an apps, u can chose however option u want. but it has to have a different number, cant be the same number as your phone number, if u take that integration, u need to remove it and then obtain a new number from google, then everything will work like a charm.

Without sprint integration, google voice can be used for texts only. The widget for google voice allows quick change for using gv to call or not.
I use gv for texts, have my gv number ringing under SIP, don't use gv for outgoing calls as SIP negates that.

Alright, so how do I toggle it on/off. I don't want to use it permanently. Just for texting is just fine too. What I want is to be able to have people texting (in this case now) my normal number be i guess forwarded to Voice. I just care about receiving because I miss a lot of important texts while in my office. you know, the ones that get you in trouble from certain people? lol
Well, I think I found SOMETHING. Haven't tried it yet. The HTC SMS app has a setting to forward texts to either email or another number (it's under the general settings). I'll see how this works out.
EDIT: Not exactly what I was hoping for but oh well. I suspected it wouldn't work, and it doesn't. The SMS app needs to receive it first. Doesn't even help if I can't get them in the first place.

If you login to gv from a desktop, you can set it to forward texts to your other number, or email. Look for settings, gear in top right corner.
Should be self explanatory

I had a Rezound and used the Backup function in the stock Messaging app to back up my MMS messages. However, I moved to an S3 and the stock Messaging app doesn't have that functionality. Does anyone know how I can open and read the messages from the Rezound's backup files either on the S3 or on a PC in Windows? Thanks.
--edit--
I meant SMS messages. I'm not concerned about the MMS messages.

Well, that's part of the problem. There is no file extension. I Googled the issue and found a post on Yahoo Answers that someone indicated it was an SQLite file, but I was unable to view the content in Notepad++ or any of several SQLite viewers. It all just looks like machine language - lines and lines of wierd random characters.

By the way, I meant SMS messages, not MMS. I've updated the OP.

looks like it can't be decoded so easily. If you still have the phone try an app from the market.

If I still had the phone, I'd just restore the backup using the SMS app, then export to XML. Unfortunately, I no longer have the Rezound.

Could you get someone else to restore them on their rezound and then use an app to back them up through a gmail account, then you can restore them from the gmail account you created just for that to the new phone.
There's an app that does that, it's name is simple like sms backup to gmail or something.

Well I thought of that, and I checked Craigslist and everything, but I don't know anyone who has a Rezound who's fine with losing the text messages they already have if something goes wrong. (Restoring the messages wipes out the existing messages.) I know I could back theirs up the same way, swap SD cards, restore mine, export to XML, swap cards back and restore theirs, but if something happens that the process fails in restoring theirs, they'd be a bit upset.
Ignore.
