Is there a way to export my SMS with the images ito a file say a pdf? I am trying to export an entire conversation I have with someone in which basically the file (say the pdf, html, etc...) that will look exactually as it does in the SMS app when printed out. I would like basically chat bubbles and the images showing. Also the text needs to be searchable.
Anyone? I found some ways to export but the text isn't searchable.

Hi.
Has anyone been able to download SMS messages to their Desktop PC. I can't seem to find the SMS files anywhere!

You can use Jeyo mobile companion, it´s definitly a MUST HAVE if you own a pocket pc phone edition
It imports and exports, sms, sent, received, outbox, etc, save call history, missed, incoming, etc save contacts, a real alternative to outlook, manage sim card and more.
It rocks!
Sms to desktop PC
You can export all of your messages (sms, mms, e-mail) with allexport.exe. And you are able to move the exported .txt files anywhere (desktop pc too) with your activesync (explore function).
You can set the autoexport function too: automatic export on every incoming messages.
It's FREEWARE!!!
You can download this program from:
xpocketpc.fw.hu
And you can find more informacion about it:

Is there any kind of tweak of program to allow sending of multiple text messages? The only way I know of to do that now is to open up a new text, touch "To," touch a contact; then the screen reverts back to the new text message with one contact added, and you have to repeat that process for however many contact you want to include. I would like a way to select several contacts from the phoneboon first, and then get to the new message screen. I know that you can select multiple contacts at once, but there is no option to send a new text message to them all at once.
sending a text to multiple contacts
each txt message is like an email, you can simply put a semi-colon ( ; ) after the first contact in the "TO" field of the message. after the semi-colon put a space & the next contact etc etc..
you can also choose menu > add recipients once you create the message. thats kind of what your wanting.
i remember an app called PowerSMS that dealt with "groups" of contacts but it wasn't freeware. you may check into the app & see if it suits your needs
Have you tried...
Select new.
Pick SMS/MMS/Flix/Pix/whatever.
Cursor should now be in the "To" field.
Start typing the name of the contact you want to use.
Name should appear at the bottom of the screen.
Tap the name to insert it in the "To" field.
Repeat for additional names!
Works for my Verizon TP

You could try Moblmsg (freeware). it doesnt store your texts in the standard way but allows you to define and save groups and send texts to them.
I use SKB Group SMS, works great and sends your multiple text in secs....

I know this is probably a stupid question but just wanted to clear it up in my mind:
the reason I CAN NOT reply to all in a text is because the text that is coming to me (SPCS is my carrier) only sees the sender not the sender's distribution list correct?
Hey, i have just got an s2 and was wondering if theres anyway to export the texts from my i8910 to my s2. I haven't been able to find any way currently so any help would be great.
Thanks
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
dont think its possible but maybe im wrong!? (try to save em with samsung sync programm (maybe need some converter))
thanks for the suggestion, but yeah kies doesn't recognise the i8910 only PC Suite or whatever it's called does. And i have the messages exported in both .txt and .xml format but any programs i've found crash at trying to import the .xml. I might email the dev of the app I was using to import. As it would be a shame to loose all my texts (I have over 2000)
Thanks, john
Just bumping this up again as just received my S2 yesterday having had the i8910 for 2 and a half years!
Been trying for hours to try and transfer the SMS from the i8910 to the S2 but no luck at all despite using all the recommended software from all the forums around the net!! I use the firmware where you can have the phoneID as a Nokia N8, 5800 or a Sony Vivaz so not sure if anyone has managed to use other backup software for their i8910 to get the SMS transferred to the S2??!?
Does anyone have an idea if the i8910 SMS messages can be transferred to the S2?
Thanks for reading and thanks in advance for any help of pointers!!
Hi there,
Yeah I had the same problem as you and spent ages trying loads of different methods. The only one that worked for me in the end was the SPB Migration Tool which you get from the android market store. it is not free however. After you have done that you have to download the symbian app and back everything up to their server, then you have to redownload it on your s2. See here for more information: http://spb.com/android-software/migration and then migrate from symbian near the bottom.
Good luck!
Being a cheapskate I tried to transfer over the SMS messages for no cost!
The way I did it was to firstly use Samsung PC Studio 7 (you can also use Nokia Suite) to backup the i8910 phone - you get a .nbu file(s) using either program.
I then downloaded "NbuExplorer" which reads the .nbu files. Using NbuExplorer I then copied over the text messages to my laptop hard drive into different folders - Inbox, Sent and Drafts etc. You get loads of .vmg files for each individual SMS.
Then downloaded a program called "ABC Amber Nokia Converter". Used this program to convert the .vmg files into a .csv file which can be read by Microsoft Excel - you get a spreadsheet with various headings for an SMS message.
Then I downloaded a free Android app called "SMS to Text". I only had two texts on my Galaxy S2 - one inbox and one sent. Used this "SMS to Text" program to export a text file with these two SMS messages on them. The resulting .txt file I opened up in Notepad - this .txt file shows you what way the data is arranged by "SMS to Text" for it to import via a .txt file. Copied and pasted what was displayed in Notepad into a new Excel spreadsheet - this would now be the template to import my i8910 SMS messages.
With the .csv file I got from using ""ABC Amber Nokia Converter", I made sure this .csv file was in the exact way that the .txt file from "SMS to Text" had been displayed in Notepad. You've got to play around with the cell formatting options in Excel to get the right hh:mm:ss for the time of the SMS column etc.
When the Excel spreadsheet has been formatted in the right way, copy and paste what is in the cells to Notepad. Save the Notepad as a .txt file. Transfer this newly created .txt file to a microSD card or onto the Galaxy S2 phone and then use "SMS to Text" on your phone to import this newly created .txt file.
To say this was a long hard struggle would be an understatement!!
I have a suggestion for future reference.
Get SMS Backup+ (Market link).
It will backup all your SMS to a label/folder in your Gmail account, called SMS. You can do this manually or set it to do it automatically. Then, you can restore your messages back whenever you want, whether it be because you've flashed a new ROM or got a brand new phone. You'll have your SMS intact for as long as you have Android and that software is supported.
It's a great bit of software - one of the first things I install after a flash.
I've been searching forever for an app that will handle Vcards sent to my S3 via a Blackberry or iPhone. The MMS comes in blank on my text app (8ms messsaging) or even stock messaging app, but there's no way to view the vcard attachment.
Enter "Save MMS Attachemtns" app.
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mobappli.savemms
Opening it brings up a list of all of your MMS messages within your text threads. The interface isn't very advanced and I haven't played with it enough to be able to select just one MMS, but regardless...clicking save will export all MMS to a folder on your phone entitled "SaveMMS"
From there, you'll need to delete the extra extension text after ".vcf"
Now click on it to open with your vcard handler app. I use DW Dialer as it's way better than stock Google dialer. It takes 8 seconds to respond after clicking, but it will import to your contacts.
This is far from an elegant fix, but if you receive vcards for work like me, you need something that will work, no matter how involved.
If anyone has a better way, let us know but a big thanks to the dev for writing this.
I've created app that handles vCards and it is capable of importing vCards from MMS. It's not free but I hope it's worth the price. Search for bizCard Manager.
Let me know what do you think.
Is there an texting app out there that can allow you to organize contacts much like how gmail emails can be sorted? If i have a contact that is set up as "work" in my contacts and they send me a text, it will be filed under a "work" folder. If a friend texts me, their sms history would be under "social" or something similar?
So basically, the architecture of my sms will be:
Main folder (unsorted)
A) social
B) work
C) family
D) something for automated texts from bank or verizon, etc
E) old
Always scrolling up and down my sms can br an eye sore sometimes.
Thanks!
