Hey guys...
I've got a new annoing problem with my HD2... (official Firmware)
I just updated my phone with the new 3.14 Firmware and restore my Data with spb-Backup... everything seems to work fine, BUT my HD2 won't save the sms history in the contacts now.
If I get a new sms I see it normally in the messaging tab, but if I want to answer in the message window of the contact it won't show ANY sms - not even my own sended ones.
The inbox menu in traditional mode works normally and shows any received sms.
Hope you understand me, my english is not the best.
Any ideas?
No ideas? I don't want to hardreset my phone again...
maybe backup of SMSes with PIM Backup, then deleting all messages and restore back could help?
I have the same problem on my hd2. If I switch to "traditional mode" The history is showing, but not in "conversation mode" (Don't know if that's what its called in English)
It happened after I updated the rom to the latest official HTC ROM. (3.14)
It's really annoying
happened to have the same problem today, tested PIM Backup, helped with mine:
1. install PIM Backup
2. backup only Messages
3 restore Messages:
- "Text Messages" checked, below that "Conversations" box unchecked (not sure if it's necessary), "Inbox" and "Sent Items" checked
- Message restore options: Delete all existing messages from the Database
4. soft reset

try repeating the above procedure with one addition - delete contents of Windows\Messaging folder after step 2,
I'm not sure if and how it affects stored email messages so it could be a good idea to make full backup first if you keep any important emails

I had the same problem. The problem is when you restore your messages using PIM Backup, 3.14 does not sense the messages at all. I personally think the new 3.14 loads sms's to another folder than before thus we can't see it under threaded but when you look at traditional it shows all the pervious messages meaning it might be in a sub-directory in the folder. Just an idea.
To my knowledge there is no way of getting it to show in all your messages. I would recommend just to delete all your messages and start from scratch or load another rom, maybe 2.07 or something.
I can speak only for myself, but for me PIM Backup + deleting files in Windows\Messaging folder works - tested it few times just to be sure.
On my device restoring the messages with PIM backup brings back files in this folder, and then SMS threads reapear.
It looks like if the SMS thread information was stored in all the files inside Windows\Messaging - I wonder if anyone could confirm this?
My messages folder is empty, and I also tried to delete all messages including the folder to see if the new messages would line up in conversation mode without restoring any messages, but it didn't help.
I'll try a hard reset once I've made a backup of everything except my messages. If that doesn't work I might consider downgrading the ROM.
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?
I know of no application that would allow for reliable restore of SMS and MMS messages after rom changes. SMS Backup&Restore works only with SMS, and is very unreliable for databases with more than 5000 smses. Titanium Backup has its own problems, and (I think, although I am not sure) it also ignores MMSes.
So what I usually do is just copy file
Code:
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
and restore it on the new rom, with permissions.
If I copy and restore the database from GB > JB rom, or from JB > JB, everything works.
However, I am encountering a problem when I do it JB > GB. The problem is that the file is being ignored and no SMS messages are being displayed in SMS programs, like stock app or GoSMS. I followed several threads about restoring permissions on this file, but nothing worked regardless the apparently proper permissions.
Do you have any idea what could be wrong?
I have sms backup xml format file from ICS android phone, now I have Jelly Bean 4.2.1 phone. I would like to import those messages in it. But JB phone only support CSV format file to import (restore).
I have also tried several SMS backup & Restore softwares in the phone to import those SMS, but failed.
I have also tried to convert xml file format to CSV file format on my pc. It also failed to import.
What should I do get back those SMS.
My phone is similar to the Micrmax A-116
Hello, sorry for my english I have a problem , it'll drive me crazy ,i can't transfer my SMS / MMS of Textra to another SMS app because I always used to do a backup of the application of Textra , Titanium Backup, but I did not know is that the application Textra has its own database of businesses different from that of Android, result -> my text messages are in a different format for saving SMS Backup restore I found this
In github /sync-oz/convert-textra-db-to-xml
(I can't post link)
It works well but my MMS are corrupt and most emoji are replaced by strange characters (and therefore not recognized) and I can not lose my SMS , what can i do ?
