Hi guys
does anyone know some kind of program that would export SMS and MMS to excel format?
Do you want the header data or ALL data? In other words do you want the Who, Date/Time, and the contents of the text, or do you just want the Who/date/time info.
who/date/time/sms or mms
Ok so not terribly concerned with the contents of the text just that one was sent/received and if it was sms/mms right....
Let me do some looking/thinking...
I hope you know some useful software .
Not sure if direct linking is allowed so just fix the spaces I entered below or do a market search for any kind of sms/mms backup. I listed a couple I have used or know of.
SMS Backup +
sms backup & restore
I've not looked at this one but try it it looks like it will do exactly what you want..
w w w.androidzoom. com/android_applications/tools/excel-backup_muxu_download.html
I have used this one and did not even know you could read the backup data in excel.. WOW Learned something new!
h t t p s://market.android. com/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
I am looking into my gmail account to see if the data backed up to it can be exported/imported to excel format since I have 3+ years worth of texts stored there form the backup programs. If we could run the program and then simply take the data directly from our gmail label that would be nice.
Ye i was thinking about excel backup too but i couldn't find it for free anywhere :/.
So no one know of one program that can save mms and sms threads?
What a **** os. Even Nokia has this omg.

Does anyone know how to split/archive an sms thread (or perhaps start a new thread for my wife, keeping the old one). I have imported all my sms from my Windows Mobile using Sprite Migrate (cool free beta software).
My wifes thread has 4k sms messages, and takes a few seconds to load, does anyone know if I can split the thread into chucks? It would be cool if they were split by date.
Does anyone know if I could backup all sms using some tool, and modify the file to split the sms, and re import?
I own MyBackupPro, does anyone know if these file are easily manipulated?
Thanks
looks like nobody can help you. afaik these things are stored in sqlite databases, maybe you can look into that. my layman's guess would be that the first problem is to seperate the two threads, maybe you need to create a contact WIFE2 or smthng, and alter the number in the database for a few (thousand) sms.
btw, WTF? i once tried to restore a backup of my sms with ~35 msgs in the largest thread, made the sms app FC... yesterday i had to delete a thread with 32 apps because it always showed me one unread in the summary, but all read in the thread...
Hey gentlemen and ladies, was just wondering if you I could get an opinion on something.
I update my rom every now and again, which means I do a full wipe and reload all of my texts and contacts using my backup pro. However, I've had this phone for about a year now, and now have roughly 10,000 texts which just take too long to be added back to the phone.
Was just wondering is there was a decent program I could store them on windows? or on gmail? or even online somewhere? Thanks guys
Maybe you can try SMS Backup and Restore, which saves all of your SMSs in a single XML file.

Try SMS Backup + by Jan Berkel .. app that syncs and restore your sms to gmail (at least thats what I use it for).. Stores it thread style in a label on gmail and resyncs when you flash.. pretty quick to restore as well..

that sounds good.. i think ill look into it
after i added all 10,000 messages back on to the phone, i think it actually decreased in speed.. or is it just me? can a large amount of messages slow down the phone?
Yes I seem to find that problem as well.. speed restored when I clear all messages.. but using gmail to sort through is a lot easier

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

hi XDA as I decided that I want to do some badass stuff with my SK17, I'm looking for an apps to make a backup of my stuff, namely SMS and MMS messages and the apps I installed. I don't have root yet, so I thought it might be a little tricky.
regarding messages: I've looked on several SMS backup apps from the Play Store, but I read in description that they don't support MMS messages yet. then I found Txtract, which does, but sadly I can't see an "import" option in it.
regarding apps: I've already found FileExpert which can make backups of .apk files, but is there an app to also save the data related to the game (downloaded SD stuff, game progress, settings etc.)?

For apps titanium backup would be best, but without root, i dont know if it will save the data. Did you look into my backup pro, or even just for the msgs sms backup & restore?

"Please note that this app does not support MMS (Picture/Audio/Video) messages." - SMS Backup & Restore.
I was reading on some forums that My Backup Pro doesn't export and import MMS messages, but I guess it was about some other version. thanks, I'll try it

I think it is because it give you the option to backup to their servers, but you need to be connected to sign up for it haha a little stupid I agree but yeah thats my best guess.
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..
