[Q] Merging SMS? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I have a Droid 2 Global. I am using GOSMS and I really like
to keep all my text messages.How ever I accidentally started the stock text messaging app
and it trimmed (deleted) my messages back to 200!
No I know you cant restore them after this BUT I have
Titanium backups from right before this happened, but if I
restore them I will loose new messages.
Is there a way to merger the SMS messages?

The app that was mentioned is good, but you can also use GOSMS, I personally prefer it to the out of the box sms but its all just personal preference
SMS Backup+
it will back up your text and media messages to your GMAIL....
I use SMS Backup+ to backup to my GMail account and Go SMS Pro to backup to my Ext. SD card so I can restore them after flashing a new ROM.
SMS Backup And Restore worked great! It took all of about a minute to do too. Thanks so much!
I use My Back up Root

[Q] saving text messages

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

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.

[INFO] SMS Pictures not working after freezing in TB

So I have GO SMS Pro and decided to freeze the following thru Titanium Backup: SMS/MMS PREFS Messaging 2.3.6.
WHY ? because I would get a double post, sms from GO SMS and one from Messaging default app.
That kept me from getting pictures sent with Text messages.
I did get the text messages, so I had to unfreeze it.
Even after unfreezing my daughter would send a txt with picture and it would not come thru.
So unfrost it, and all works fine. I really like GO SMS Pro, but still no pictures came thru, she is on a differrent network using iPhone.

titanium backup for me
sms backup and restore, works great. https://play.google.com/store/apps/...mNvbS5yaXRlc2hzYWh1LlNNU0JhY2t1cFJlc3RvcmUiXQ..
sms backup+
restores date and order, which i don't think any of the above do. but it does take a long time, be forewarned.
titanium keeps them in order
really? it's never worked that way for me, which is why i always go back to sms backup+
so it keeps everything dated and ordered correctly?
I've always used MyBackup Root for my apps+data / sms and mms.

Managing large volumes of SMS

Hey guys, I was hoping you might be able to help me with a problem I've been having.
I have an HTC One, stock rom with custom launcher/home screen.etc, and I am trying to manage a very large volume of sms (50,000+).
When I first got this phone, I never told it to delete old messages as I liked to create backups. However, now the phone is just too bogged down as a result of all these messages.
I would like to have the phone start deleting messages once they get above a certain number. So to do this, I created a backup of all the SMS messages using the HTC stock messaging app as well as the SMS backup+ app. I then deleted all the messages, and used the stock SMS restore feature with the "delete old messages" option selected under the settings.
The problem is this thing has been running for 6 hours now, and I am not sure it is getting anywhere. How would you guys handle this situation?
Thanks for your help!
