Hi,
I have just completely formatted my phone, installed latest cm9 and now using sms backup+ to restore around 10k sms but once I do, Messenger crashes everytime I open it. I tried only restoring a maximum of 500 sms and messenger will not complain if I do that. Does anyone have had any similar experiences and what was your fix?

AFAIK thats because of the limitations in the stock messenger of CM9 ma8
either try upgrading ur phone to latest CM10 and then try restoring back ur SMS bkp or u can try some third party SMS app from stores and see
are you moving from a stock rom/non-cm? because i think cm and stock use different sms database formats AFAIK

I was coming from an older version of cm9. All my SMS messages are backuped to my gmail. I guess I will try cm10 although it is still broken (sigh).

If I install samsung stock rom, then use titanium backup after restoring all my SMS messages from cloud, install cm9 and then restore it, would this fix the issue?

CM10 doesn't work either. Any other ideas? I thought this SMS Backup+ was universal for all android devices.

nvm it works now but I have no idea why. It worked a while after I was playing around with other things. Works now it seems. But would prefer it to be on cm9 lol

I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem- i back up and restore my sms using GOsms, and once it goes past 10,000 on the restore it totally messes up the modem on whatever rom im using. no data will work at all. i've tried many things to be sure that that is what's causing the problem and it seems to be. anyone else having that issue?

Never used GOsms so I can't comment on that, but I use SMS Backup & Restore and I love it. I've got about 10k messages as well and it never gives me any problems. You can also schedule automatic zero click backups.

yes, use this you can backup your message
You guys message wayy to much
My question is, what the hell do you need to save your SMS's for anyway? Sure the conversations are great and nice.. But when you blow a new ROM on.. Why care about them?
People are just Weird! I had a friend want the new ICS on their Captivate so I put it on there and told him he will lose everything as I dont want to do the work to restore anything for him. And he was fine, did the upgrade for him and he was bummed he lost his SMS messages.. I laughed at him for his sadness..
WHY YOU NO DELETE YOUR SMS'S!!!!
I upgraded to XXLPQ (polish) from XXLPH yesterday.
I'm now seeing duplicate (2, somebody said 3) SMS's sent to a recipient for each one I send.
Received texts aren't duplicated
Only goSMS (or handcent) is set to notify
"stock" SMS app does NOT lead to duplicates
This didn't happen in XXLPH
Wanted to check if anyone else has this issue? Next step is probably clearing SMS data or indeed a full wipe
I got the same situation here. Everything Ok with stock messaging, but with Go Sms Pro, it duplicate sms >.< Looking for solution !!
Yep, same here, though i updated from gingerbread not from an ics beta.

Same here, guess its an App issue then?

It seems more likely to be an issue with the firmware. As it affects all 3rd party SMS apps. Pretty sure there aren't issues on the nexus so possible not a general ics issue?

I have the same issue but I'm also not getting contact pictures in any third party apps.. not in Go contacts, Go SMS, Handcent, Whatsapp.
Tried them all and I get nowt but the stock app gets the pictures perfectly. I've removed and re-added accounts a number of times but giving up now unless someone knows of a way around it.
Same problem
I'm also getting the same problem.
Did a full wipe before installing the ROM
Did not restore settings for go sms, but did restore my messages
I have also tried freezing messaging in titanium backup and disabling messaging in the settings. Neither seams to work.
Has anyone had any success with fixing this?
I am also facing this problem. First i thought this might be due to GO Sms . I uninstalled GO SMS and installed Handcent_SMS .. Same problem there
Sending duplicate messages (GO SMS and Handcent)
Not showing contact pictures in messages list (GO SMS and Handcent)
Anyone got the solution ???
Not sure, seems strange!
Possibly a Firmware issue, maybe a App issue
We shall see what other ssay!
same problem here
report the issue to the devs
did so for handset via email [email protected]
supply phone info
software info
and if possible logcat
Chainfire Kernel not to blame
I still have the problem after reverting to the stock kernel (3.0.15-I900XXLPQ-CL223505 [email protected] #3)
I was hoping that reverting back to stock kernel would fix it, but that is sadly not the case.
At least we know that it's not the chainfire kernel causing it
Same problem here (with Go SMS and browsertexting).
I have emailed both devs, I would suggest everyone sending emails to the app devs to hurry things along
Strikes me as something that has changed within the firmware from Samsung,
Gingerbread Roms (Official and cooked) never caused the issue for me whilst using Go SMS its like something within the ICS firmware is refusing third part apps access to the facebook contact photos.. or maybe its something within the Facebook app that's blocking third party stuff.
default sms app is giving me issues with sms ringtones not working
Hey all,
I updated to I9100XXLPQ_I9100OXALPQ_I9100XXLPQ_HOME.tar
and getting the same, default messaging app is fine, but when I have any other messaging app installed all my messages are being sent twice. I have tested this with Go SMS and Handcent, so to me sounds more like a Samsung problem.
Back to using the default app for the moment so...

No point in doing that. As this happen with all 3rd party messaging app, it is clearly a firmware issue.
It's definitely not an ICS issue otherwise the GNexus would be affected as well.

It's definitely a firmware issue but app devs maybe able to fix or work around the issue faster then it takes Samsung to correct it. Can't hurt
Pretty big bug for Samsung to cause between previous leak and LPQ and not notice
Do we have any contacts at Samsung we can report this to? Maybe someone can contact the great CyanogenMod creator who now works at Samsung to put in a small word lol

Hi everybody!
I'm also affected by the double sms bug.
I also tried to freeze the stock messaging app with titanium, BUT, now, I can't unfreeze it... have someone the same problem? have someone a solution?
titanium tell the app have been unfreeze, but it don't. I've tried several unfreezing app, with no more success.
If there's no solution, can i flash again LPQ with Odin to resolve this mess?
Thank you!
What Rom's are we all using?
Am i right in thinking there is more than one regional variation of ICS out at the moment? Does it happen on all variations or just one?
ROM: WanamLite 9.3
Network: O2-UK
App: GOSMS
I'm experiencing problem with this rom, when I restore around 5 - 6k messages my messaging app is kinda weird cause, my sent and receive messages separates so it becomes 2 threads per person. Get it? for me its a big problem cause I don't delete my messages haha. Please help!

SMS Backup and Restore PRO, it works fine in jelly bean (PA,CM and RR) , but when I restore it in Android Revo. it separates...
Afternoon guys,
So i've just updated from ICS (XXDLI8) to JB (DLJ4), used the download from samfirmware and Odin, then factory reset in the phone so that my internal SD was completely fresh/new, all good so far, but afterwards, when I tried to restore the backup I had made in ICS of my SMS/MMS, instead of grouping all my messages together in a single thread per person, it had a separate thread for each individual reply... giving me over 4000 threads O_O
Has anyone else experienced this? If not, I guess there might be a glitch that occurred during flashing with Odin and i'll just re-do it in a bit
I did the same thing but mine worked perfectly. Just try again and good luck
Hmmmm
Ok, so i've just wiped and re-flashed the ROM with Odin, restored my messages and the exact same thing has happened, every message has it's own thread... I was hoping a re-flash would fix any glitch but it doesn't look like it!
Anyone have any ideas?
I had the same trouble with all JB Roms I tried, asked the same question and got no answer/fix. So for now I'm using CM10 based rom's and no trouble.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
It's a bit frustrating! But at least it's only SMS/MMS rather than something OS breaking haha. I guess i'll just have to live with it!
Wow, finally I have found this thread....... oh, and I guess im not the only one having this issue then.
Yep, same here. I flashed a rooted stock rom (DLJ4) too and same issue here. I restored all my messages but the conversation/threaded messages are no more.
I did reflash a few times but to no avail.
Can someone please advise me and the OP.....
Many thanks

Same ROM?
Also, I have just recieved a few messages from someone and all three messages show up seperatley!!
Forgot to mention, the SMS app I am using is the AOSP (google)one.
As you guys have figured out, My Backup sucks sometimes for backing up and restoring SMS messages. I flash various different Sammy JB ROMS fairly frequently. I would suggest using a dedicated program. I've always used the free app called SMS Backup & Restore by Ritesh Sahu, and have never had any problems.
Use titanium and use the .xml restore methods in future
AOSP SMS on Samsung based ROMs has that issue. Happened to me on Dragon ROM when I chose AOSP messaging. Worked fine when I flashed again, this time with stock Samsung messaging app. Try reverting to Samsung stock messaging and check. Who knows, it might resolve the issue. Good luck.
Alternatively, you can use SMSBackup+ to backup your messages and call logs to your Gmail account. Works like a charm for me. You won't need to restore the messages as they are just a click away.

Really appriciate the responses guys.
Just to clarfy a few things.
I have been using "SMS Backup & Restore Pro" (for a while) and it has always restored my messages without any issues (threaded messages restore properly). These were usually ICS Roms and "AOSP" JB Roms.
So I'm guessing its not the app itself. Having said that, I will try the app someone mentioned a few posts above- which links to Gmail. Sounds good.
Also, the person that mentioned about Titanium backup, I think you might have the answer.....I usually restore all apps and settings via Titanium. When it gives me the option for XML or Snapshot (I think), usually I choose XML but this time I chose Snapshot. So, I will reflash again and restore with Titanium but this time choosing XML. I will let you know if this works.
Finally, the person who mentioned about reverting to Stock Samsung messageing app, I have tried it but still get the same issue.
Thanks to all of you for responding and for your suggestions. :good:
I will get back here once I have reflashed. :fingers-crossed:
Thank you
ok guys.
I have flashed a few different Roms now and still have the same issue.....even with the samsung messaging app.
This is really frustrating me now!!
@ Slaphead20, can you advise me on how you did the .XML restore?
I tried but can not seem to find the option.
The option after I flash a ROM where it asks me whether I want to choose XML or snapshot doesnt seem to have appeared with the Roms I have been flashing. (Omega/sotmax & Haldric)
Hi, well tbh I just tap on the titanium loss for each one and restore, so I'm going to check in the preferences menu and see what I might of set up to get it working.....back in a bit!

I can't find the exact setting, so it might be a case of having to delete the titanium app settings backup that it creates on ext sd and re configure the app, but in the menu there are two relevant entries but I'm not messing with them to experiment as all is working for me......and if it ain't broke........ ..
Has anyone had any success in restoring sms/mms with TiBu? I used to be able to do it all the time on my Galaxy Nexus, but now with the GS4, it fails every time. Any insight would be appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure if it is related or not but SMS backup & restore does not work on the S4 either. I have a beta app from the dev but haven't tried it yet. In the mean time I have been using SMS backup+

Hmm, thats weird.. I was able to use SMS backup & restore a few days ago. It was actually my last resort since I couldnt get TiBu to work. The only thing I dont like about that is it doesnt support MMS yet. Are you able to restore MMS as well with SMS backup+?

Ran into the same problem with TiBu, went to the device I was moving my old texts from and the only way it would do it was if I removed the embedded pictures and it restored
I started a fresh titanium backup folder with this phone. I have 3 sms backups. The first 2 appear OK and have file sizes of 1-2 megs but the 3rd just has a ? In the description and only a few kb. However I cannot restore any of them and trying to make new backups fail. The first ones were most likely from a rooted stock. I've been on hyper since and the backup never worked on it as far as I can tell. I've wanted to give touch wiz a shot so I have yet to try any AOSP flavors yet so I cannot comment on those.

It kept failing for me too. I found an app called JS backup (it was free) in the play store that worked for me. I just made a backup on my S3 and used wifi direct to send it to my S4 and made sure to put the backup file in the folder for JS backup and it worked perfectly. The only downside is that the texts I already had on my S4 got wiped out when i restored the backup.

I had no problem restoring SMS/MMS with Titanium Backup on my S4. I had a backup from my galaxy nexus that was running CM10.1 and had no issue restoring with CM10.1 on my S4. Are you guys trying to restore from a custom ROM on your old phone to a TW ROM on the S4?
I am also having problem restoring SMS backups from TB. I am using Mybackup Pro to backup and restore my SMS/MMS.
I believe the issue is with touchwiz. TiBU can restore SMS but has issues with MMS. Delete any MMS from your old phone before you do a backup and it should restore the SMS fine. Or use a non TW ROM.
