If I was looking for them manually, where would I look?
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
I think that is it but you will not be able to read it in text. Are you trying to backup messages? Using a different app such as go sms or handcent would make it much easier.

you can also download "SMS Backup and restore" by Ritesh Sahu. it'll save your SMS & MMS's into a single .xml file to your SDcard and you could also upload it to Dropbox.

This is also what I would suggest. You can keep multiple backups in html format. I was able to bring over my answers history from my DInc, although I have not worried about maintaining backups much since.
It's a great tool.

I'd like to know if there are any efficient and dependable apps for Syncing (Both Backup And Restore) SMSes with GMail.
I tried SMS Backup+; it does backup all the SMSes to GMail pretty well, but when it comes to restoring it - does not restore all the SMSes.
I tried many other apps as well... All of 'em seem to have a problem with restoring the SMSes.
So, I'd like y'all to suggest some good apps that serves my purpose.
Thank You.
Try ' backup to gmail' works perfectly..

Tried that too.
It doesn't restore all my Text Messages either.
One thing I can't find out how to restore with titanium backup is my text messages...
I assume its more than just the messages, and it probably a data base that needs restored...thanks in advance.

SMS Backup +
SMS Backup + works great. Backs up both call logs, and SMS/MMS to the cloud.

Another vote for SMS Backup+. Has never failed me after countless restores. Also nice to search through my texts in gmail.
Mybackup root also does this.

I use to use mybackup but my 30 days ran out, what's another good app, or way to transfer data?

If you have titanium backup, it has a new backup to .xml feature for backing up sms. That way you can back up sms to a .xml file, wipe/install new rom and then restore by using the restore from .xml option in titanium backup. The advantage with this is that it works independantly of whatever app you use for sms and is guaranteed to work.
Im unsure whether this is available only as a pro feature or not but the app is worth every cent in usability and has other exciting features such as extract individual apps/data from cwm backups directly from the app.
I've been thinking about titanium, but xml doesn't save mms, just SMS. So I'm not exactly sure what to use, titanium is definitely good for apps, but I would like an app that did all that I wanted.

If you're restoring to the exact same sms/mms app , you can do the standard backup + restore. The xml method is just for cases where you're switching between apps. A regular backup would backup the .db file for sms/mms.
I use sms backup and just manually save the mms to my sd card when they come in so that way they are always on there. And sms backup can do schedules. It's a nice clean program

So I have finally figured out how to extract contacts from an SBU file, convert it to vCard and then import them into my phone.
Here is the wonky part.
When I click on the contacts button, it only shows my phone having 12 contacts in my phone. BUT when I click over to "Groups" under "My Contacts, there are all my contacts that I have recently restored.
Now I have tried playing around with Wondershare, and a few other programs, but I want all my contacts in one place. Not having to swtich tabs to make this work. How can I copy them from "My Contacts" to the phone itself so I can see them all easily? I am so close to having all my contacts restored, this is the final step!
Please help!!! Thanks in advance!~

No, but I will once I can solidify all my contacts into one area.
There is a real fast safe way to restore contacts through it. I have nandroid backups for every rom. I use tbu and go into extract from nandroid, choose the rom, check the "contact storage" box, choose data only and restore it, reboot and they are all there, full size pictures and all.

I simply connected via Kies air and edited them all manually. Slow day at work so at least I got something done. Lol

Guys is there an app to backup SMS and email the conversation as is ?
I have tried many apps in play store but all they do is taking backup in xml format and emailing.
Its of no use to because it can be viewed only if restored to same/another mobile.
I want to view the SMS conversation in PC itself (in txt format or doc format)
is there specific app for this purpose ?
