Guys I need a little help here... I have Motorola RAZR MAXX with some of little problem with SMS conversations.
Before we start, here the basic info.. I have thousand of messages stored since owned an Android phone (now 18,500 messages), I'm using Galaxy Gio and right now RAZR, and never delete any SMS archive since using Galaxy Gio and migrate them to RAZR. After a year with RAZR, I'm using SMS Backup and Restore app to backup SMS archives.
And 3 months ago, SMS Backup and Restore App got some problem with "null" error which is I didn't understand and still no answer from the developer. Last week I flashed my RAZR with official JB ROM with RSD Lite and failed when I wanna restore SMS archive with normal method (one by one - forget the app) and with App Extractor done in seconds (copy the XML database and restart).
After all of that, last night almost half of my SMS conversation gone.. from 512 sms conversation became 320 conversations, I have to restore it again from the SMS Backup and Restore App but every time after restore seems my phone CPU usage gone high (60%), I think it's rebuilding the SMS database but for how long..? already 20 minutes.
Any solution or hint to fix this..? Any question for additional info are welcome...
sorry if my English were bad...
Did you check your message settings.
It might have deleted old messages.
Hit thanks.
nope.. everything is configured nothing will be deleted.. I'm just curious my RAZR cannot receive any sms when the stock sms app got frozen.

Hey gentlemen and ladies, was just wondering if you I could get an opinion on something.
I update my rom every now and again, which means I do a full wipe and reload all of my texts and contacts using my backup pro. However, I've had this phone for about a year now, and now have roughly 10,000 texts which just take too long to be added back to the phone.
Was just wondering is there was a decent program I could store them on windows? or on gmail? or even online somewhere? Thanks guys
Maybe you can try SMS Backup and Restore, which saves all of your SMSs in a single XML file.

Try SMS Backup + by Jan Berkel .. app that syncs and restore your sms to gmail (at least thats what I use it for).. Stores it thread style in a label on gmail and resyncs when you flash.. pretty quick to restore as well..

that sounds good.. i think ill look into it
after i added all 10,000 messages back on to the phone, i think it actually decreased in speed.. or is it just me? can a large amount of messages slow down the phone?
Yes I seem to find that problem as well.. speed restored when I clear all messages.. but using gmail to sort through is a lot easier

Hey Everyone,
Wanting to flash a new ROM but hate losing my call history and text msg logs. I know it has to be possible to save them to my computer and reload once the new ROM is updated.
So can you help tell me where they are saved in the phone so I can export them.
I am currently using xtrSENSE4.6.5 & using the basic msg program included in the ROM.
Thanks

There are a couple of apps in the market - SMS Backup & Restore and Call Logs Backup & Restore - same developer - that will let you backup and restore texts and call logs across ROMs. The backups are saved to your SD card. The only issue is that the SMS app will not restore MMS messages, but if that's not an issue, this works well.
If it is an issue, there is another pseudo solution (which I actually like more.) SMS Backup+ will backup SMS and MMS messages to a label in your gmail account (by default it is a label called "SMS") and can also store call logs in a label as well (I believe that the label is "Call logs" by default). This can also restore from gmail to a new ROM. It also cannot restore MMS messages, but they will be stored in your Gmail account for reference if you need them. The cool thing about this app is that it runs a backup every time a message is received, or every hour for messages that you send (though if you send and then get a reply the reply will kick off a backup that will grab the one that you sent.) SMS Backup+ can also create a calendar entry in a calendar of your choice for calls (both made and received) if that is helpful.
Just don't make any major drug deals while running that app...lol

Hey folks.
I recently discovered a great app named "SMS Backup & Restore" which I now happen to be the owner of the PRO version. Things is, that the backup works fine, but upon restoring, messages seem to get restore the wrong order - most of the messages are in the same thread, but completely mixed up. And I don't miss a few, I miss a lot.
The FAQ of the developer says that osme SMS cannot be backed up nor restored since it currently does not support MMS messages. But I'm extremely sure that most messages are just SMS. Did such happen to any of you, too? How to resolve this? And could that be dou to the use of GoSMS Pro which I use as my phone messaging app?
Any help is very much appreciated.

That is the only app I use for sms backup & restore since I have android phone. Never had any problems, except when on restore, threads (not messages) are not sorted in order in which I backed them up. Ofc, I just sort them by "most recent" in messages app. I used Handcent sometimes, but never had problems with dissapearing messages. Backup app and messaging app use xml, which is stored on phone, so I don't think it matters which one messaging app you use.

Thanks for helping, PROleev. Is there a way to clean up the XML-File I have? It contains multiple messages and upon restoring, it does not delete the duplicates although I enabled the option in the program. Furthermore, it seems that it saved messages with the completely wrong time. Therefore, restoring the messages results in a mess I don't know how to resolve.. except for to delete everything.

You're welcome.
Here is the app for duplicate messages, and it should help you (I didn't try it, but users say that it does its job). It is slow if you have a couple of thousands messages. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10377014&postcount=1
I have to make a correction..mesagge applications read from data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db (database file), but they save messages as .xml which you can open in any xml viewer or MS Excel..

Hello XDA
I'am in dire need of your help and expertise. Last wednesday my LG G2 had a problem with its clock, and I have a feeling that it somehow conflicted with ingoing/outgoing messages - Is that even possible?
My real problem is that troughout wed-friday I had troubles recieving and sending SMS, or so I thought. 1 SMS that was sent to me on wednesday arrived friday and that it when I noticed that something was wrong. Afterwards every message I sent was almost instantly disappeared from my message app but my contact recieved the SMS even though. Also any incomming SMS would display in the notification bar and the dropdown function android has, but when I opened the SMS to the message viewer the SMS would disappear almost instantly before I could have a chance to read it through.I have a feelling the it is not deleted and stil resides somewhere within my phone. Can you help me find it or somehow restore it if that what takes?
Side note:
I've heard that you can use various android SMS recovery tools, but that should - correct me if I'am wrong - require a root of your phone. But if I root my LG G2, wouldnt the phone reset and the data get whiped along with my SMS ?
Thanks in advance.
Try using SMS backup and restore by ritesh sahu from google play store.
Aur backup ready the phone and then restore

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!
