[Q] SMS migration 2.3.6 -> 4.0.4 - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi.
i want to migrate about 20k sms from a sgs1 @ darky/semaphore to my new nexus @ aokp/franco.
testing several apps and tools, effect is always the same:
backup finished, 10k unread sms displayed and when i want to open them, there are no conversations and it wants to refresh for an endless time.
i used sms backup/restore, myphoneexplorer, titanium backup, my backup, yaffs extractor and a manual copy of the mmssms.db...nothing worked for me.
strange:
i tested the sms debugging script by Honusnap and after that, i could access all sms.
but because of an error, i could not send sms anymore.
help?

[Q] Whatsapp reader or restore old messages

Hi all, i guess it's is already mentioned.. but i couldnt find it after searching for almost a day.
I have old whatsapp messages that i want restored, could anyone explain me the way how to do it?
greetings,
Gertjan
I'm not quite sure what your problem is. Did you change the device or reinstall whatsapp and want to restore a backup?
In general it should work following these steps:
http://www.teamandroid.com/2011/08/21/how-to-backup-chat-messages-in-whatsapp/
Follow the steps below to backup your Whats chat conversations:
- Open WhatsApp.
- Press the Menu key, and go to ‘Settings’.
- Scroll down and go to ‘More’;.
- Now tap once on “Chat History Backup” and backup will start.
That’s it! Next time when you re-install WhatsApp after a full reset, you will be asked to restore your previous backup (which is stored on your SD card).

If not, we need some more information...
However I guess it's not that useful too have all those older messages in whatsapp, because they are just filling the internal space and you can't easily access them (you would have to press "load older messages" again and again and whatsapp will become slower and slower ...).
A good possibility is to transfer the full whatsapp backup to your PC and use a tool called "Whatsapp Extractor" to display all the conversations.

is there a way to restore iphone whatsapp backup/history to android htc one X?
Re: Whatsapp reader or restore old messages
WhatsApp automatically makes backups every 24 hours and stores them on the microSD memory card of your Android phone. To restore the deleted messages of WhatsApp, you will need to uninstall and reinstall WhatsApp. During the installation process, you will be prompted to restore the lost message history of WhatsApp. Choose restore your missing chats.
Today I woke up in the morning and saw that all my whatsapp messages were deleted, I did not perform any back or restore from any backup utility such as Titanium backup. I am on Android 4.3 on Samsung note 2.
I tried to uninstall whatsapp and re-install again, it asked for restoring messages from backup folder but only restored messages till date 30-Dec-2013, although message backup was present with latest backup of yesterday’s date i.e. 23-Feb-2014.
Please let me know how can I restore all the messages and resolve this issue.

Have you tried whatsapp migrator tool?
:good:
Try this way
Have you tried to restore by WhatsApp. If you have done a backup, messages, chats can be easily restored. If not, try Android Data Recovery on RecoveryAndroid. I used it to get my lost Whatsapp messages back days ago.:highfive:

[Q] I can't restore call logs/SMS with TB.

I moved from pacman android 4.2 to pacman android 4.3.
TB did backups of call log and SMS via XML.
But when I tried to restore call log, nothing changes in the dialer app.
When I tried to restore SMS, I see all my old SMS for about a second before they all disappear again. I don't have the "prune old SMS" setting on, so all SMS should stay there forever.
Any help?
I tried it with 3 other restorer apps and none of them work either. I'm starting to think that the rom stores the data in a unique way that no standard rom uses? I don't know.

[Q] Restoring text messages from backup on 4.4?

I just rooted my phone to install the Google edition ROM but before I did I backed up my texts using Wondershare MobileGo. I've used this program to backup and restore messages, contacts, photos, etc. on my phone many times before and on previous phones and it has worked fine. But this time when I try to restore my messages they don't show up on my phone. To be specific, when I first do the restore the threads will show up under the contact name but there will be no messages when I open the thread. Soon after they just all disappear (only the restored messages, not any new ones). It seems like they're getting deleted as they're empty threads but that's just a guess. I thought it might have been a problem when doing the backup so I opened up the file (.sms file) in notepad and all the messages are there. I think it has something to do with Kit Kat but I've never encountered this problem before.
So does anyone know how I could restore my messages from the .sms file I was given from the backup or why the messages don't show up on my phone? Thanks!

[Q] One backup solution?

Hi,
Is there an app that backups & restores these things (and maybe more):
1. All apps data
2. All photos (camera, whatsapp, mms)
3. SMS messages, preferably to GMail
4. WhatsApp messages ("exploded" - meaning, not just upload the msgstore.db file)
I'm looking for something automatic, that will backup things as they arrive (e.g. after I take a photo), or hourly/nightly, and that knows to upload the new data to a cloud service.
I know a mix of Titanium & Google + & SMS Backup+ can do these things (SMS Backup+ can't restore whatsapp messages and only backsup nightly, not as whatsapp messages arrives, and can't backup crypt7 files (tri-crypt can decrypt, but for me SMS backup didn't trigger afterwards)). Titanium also failed to upload backups for me (for reasons unclear. the message it gives in the notification is cut off)
Nandroid backup will contain everything, but can't be done nightly and the file is huge, so can't be uploaded. I think it also means that if I change phones, it can't be used for restore.
Basically, I don't want to mess with it. Have it work in the background, send everything to a cloud storage and allow me to restore, even if I switched to a new phone.
