restoring SMS problem - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi
I had to send my 6 month old Xperia z1 to be repaired as the USB port ceased to function. They sent me a recon handset by return.
i'm trying to restore my SMSs using SMS Backup+ by Jan Berkel. I have used it for years and it stores 30,000 odd messages on Google for me.
Seems that as I restore them, the messages are disappearing. I can see it happening. I am using the stock messaging client on 4.4.4 and I've tried clearing the cache.
I don't know where the SMSs are stored though.
Can anyone point me in the right direction?
cheers
Simon

There's no way to do it, as far as I know. From now on you should back up your text messages using SMS Backup +. It synchronizes to a Gmail label.
Dam had a feeling there wasn't a way... Yeah I saw this sms back up apps when it was too late haha

If you didn't backup your text messages on Phone previously, then it might be tough to recover. I would give the free trial of Dr.Fone for Android a shot to see if you can recover the deleted text messages. Hope that I'm not late.

Theyre stored in a database. They are not part of the file system. Data recovery apps cant help

Backup SMS and MMS to cloud.

I am currently using SMS Backup+ to backup my messages. It works great but it does not restore MMS messages. Does anyone know of an app that backs up to a cloud service and restores everything including all MMS with the associated pictures, files, videos, etc.
Much thanks!

Try Jottacloud. It perfectly syncs with an Android device to cloud.
Try android sms + mms transfer.

Phone Can't Send Texts

Two days ago I installed the new hangouts and now my phone can't send texts at all. I can receive them and I can use everything else (calls, internet etc.) It just can't send texts. Anyone know of a solution?
Maybe you downloaded a bad version or something. I am using Hangouts and everything is working fine. I pulled this from my phone. Try installing this over yours and see how it goes. https://www.dropbox.com/s/lvxbehpbnnot7nc/com.google.android.talk-2.0.122 (904984-30).apk

[Q] 4.4 Data works, SMS doesn't

I'm not posting this is a specific ROM's thread because it happens with all 4.4 ROMs I have tried. I cannot send or receive text messages (Hangouts or the messaging app), but my data works. If I restore to 4.3, everything is fine again. Nobody else seems to be having this problem, any ideas?
No threads have been made about it. Normally it the other way around. Most people wasn't getting data.

When you say you can't send messages, I presume you are talking about SMS? I had a similar issue with my Custom ROM. My SMS just disappeared. Probably fault of my own while setting up the phone. All I did though was install a SMS app from the Play store. I'm currently using Textra and haven't had any issues so far. There are many to choose from though.
Hope this helps
