Did a bit of searching havent found anything.
What I am looking for is an App paid or free that will move all of my text and pic text to my SD and automatically put them there once I get a text. I have some conversations with 9,00 text back and forth ect (thats one of the higher ones.)
My Evo is running really really slow and I am thinking its cause of all of the text messages I have. Deleting isnt an option.
My Backup Pro Will Allow it Manually.

I have an app that will back up my data what I am looking for is an app that will allow me to put a mms app on my SD card so when I get a text and send it won't be on phone but on the SD card.
Not that this helps any, but why do you need to keep 9000 texts?
I just have never deleted any. Also helps me to remember past conversations I have had. I only have text from my original touch pro (8125 or model right before) until now. When I went from the touch pro 2 to the evo think it took Sprint about 7 hours to transfer stuff over.
Any suggestions on an app?
"Backup to gmail" its a paid app and it will back up to your gmail account and label each one like [sms]
It does it as it comes in

So then there isn't an sms app that can be installed on the SD card and will hold the text on the SD card. Well guess I am just going to have a slow running evo then.
Don't know how long ago it came out, but My Backup Root is on the market. From what it looks like, it's a free app.

*edit* just read what exactly you would like. I think it's just an app to back everything up.

SMS Backup & Restore will backup all your SMS in an XML file. You also have the option to restore the backup. This app however won't backup any MMS. I use Handcent to backup MMS to the sd card.
mms -> backup -> zip -> pwd protect

Hello Guys,
where are the SMS/MMS saved, and is there any possibility to save it and to restore it, without a special application from the market?

its probably saved in some sqlite file somwhere, i never thought to dig for this. maybe it can be backed up direct to the sd or your server/pc with rsync
Does nobody knows the exactly place? because i want to restore my backed up sms.
I don't know where there saved at.But there is a app on the market that will back all your txt mess. to your gmail account.I's called sms back up.
while we are talking about mms can anyone tell me what settings they are using if they dont have a data plan and are able to send mms with JF 1.5
@g2crx: Yes i know, but i want go restore the messages back to the phone and so i need the place where they are saved

There is a post with the code someone added just TODAY!
Save sms, mms, contacts
Just use my backup pro. It saves all texts, call history, bookmarks, contacts, picture messaging to your sd card and allows one to restore them. I always use it when i update or do a factory reset. There is a free version and a paid version but it is well worth the $2.99.
@shaneaus Big thanks, this is, what i need
Hi, pretty new to the forum and couldn't really find exactly how to solve this issue.
So I've been using HTC hero's built-in sms and i recent flashed the entire phone to load a new rom. Anyways I backed up everything using titanium backup as well as Mybackup pro. Every was fine until i noticed that a few sms threads shrunk significantly (they shrunk from about 1.1k to about 200 each). I only realized now that i forgot to un check the auto delete sms option.
Since I have the old sms saved on the backup, I was wondering if theres anyway i could merge the threads back together. I've been told that some sms apps like GO sms allow you to backup and recover sms from the sim card. I downloaded the app but dont really understand how I'd go about merging the threads.
Any help is appreciated
Let's say that I have a Google Nexus S and I accumulate a bunch of SMS messages. Over time, I switch to another Android phone like the Motorola Atrix. If I do that, are there any programs that will seamlessly move the SMS messages including the threads over to the new Android phone?

Have you tried this before? Does it really work as intended? Will the SMS time stamps and everything migrate over like as if the SMS messages was sent to the new phone?

Yeah it should. Backup to sd (or internal storage for ns) and just transfer it to the root folder. not that hard
it's extremely easy indeed, sooooo many free apps to do so
Holy thread resurrection.. For the record: Titanium backup - save to XML works pretty good
Fastest method: Nandroid backup -> Copy the whole backup to other phone -> Nandroid Manager -> Restore SMS
yes

you can backup them by using any sms backup app(etc GO SMS PRO ).
and copy the file exported to new phone. and restore。
that's all.
One of my coworkers wants me to root his but doesn't wanna loose all data if it's preventable, is this possible?
What is he wanting to keep, and is he going back to a sense-based ROM after rooting?
I retained my contacts by syncing sense, google, facebook, etc before rooting mine. There are some file explorers out there that don't REQUIRE root, so you could possibly use one of those to back up things to your SD card (I can't speak to their effectiveness - I purposefully kept my dependency on this phone low until I had rooted it because of this).
Has he tried using the HTC PC software for his phone? Perhaps there are some features in there that will allow him to sync the things he wants to keep?
I'll look for some tools if you can give me an idea of what he needs to keep... (trust me, my wife's only reply was "everything" when I rooted hers I feel your pain).

What data are we talking about?

Specificity is your friend, here at XDA...
As mentioned, if contacts are have been synced to Google, then they'll automatically return.
You can also try MyBackup Pro for contacts, pics, and the other basic stuff.
If you want to backup app-specific data, if the app has a built-in back-up mechanism, then you're good for that app, but if it doesn't (and many don't), you're going to have to have root access in order for that type of data to be accessable by a backup app such as titanium backup, as it's kept in a special location that's normally of limits to any other app other than the one that "owns" that data. For example, when I rooted my phone, I said goodbye to all my angry birds scores/progress, and had to start from scratch.

You always have to lose data to initially root. Then from that point you can always backup.
He can backup texts and all before rooting though.
Thanks yall, he was afraid of loosing everything but I assured him that his piktars and music were saved to SD, contacts to Google and SIM but his SMS, I don't know how to backup/save.

Use My Backup Pro, it even restores your home screen setup to a point. I used it before rooting (pay for it! Its worth it)

I normally use TB to backup all my apps (+ data for the apps) because if using Apps2SD, it remembers and put the files back in the same place.
I use My Backup Pro for all my other data; sms text messages, mms, contacts (can NEVER have enough backups of that, LOL), calendar, browser favorites (seems to also hold my cookies and passwords, a major help!!!!!), music lists, and as mentioned, a near copy of every page of your desktop screen - icon placements, etc, which also is a major time saver.
So pretty much I use both, and paid for both, worth every penny in both time and effort saved.
Plus, TB has other cool features; dalvik cache cleaner (no need to reboot into recovery!), market link doctor (used many times, to fix programs that are installed, but the market don't see them anymore), and the many batch run ops, like mass move to SD card, restore only missing apps, etc. And, when rooted, you now CAN remove any bloatware at ease! Even Sprint apps.

Oh none of that is lost. Pics remain untouched as does the whole SD card. Contacts are backed up to Google, etc. Texts and call log is the only thing lost, and you can find backup solutions for that on the market.
You don't loose data or apps when rooting unless you get lost and brick your phone.

I just got my new sensation
I want to transfer my SMS messages from my USB bricked desire (yes I've tried to fix it but no joy) but when I try the transfer via bluetooth it only offers my contacts.
Any way of doing this (bare in mind I can't connect via USB) ?
Thanks.
Did you have everything on your Desire synchronized with your Google account?

worked for me when i switched my IS to Sensation
Do they backup to the cloud ?
I need to be able to backup to the cloud, as I said the desire is bricked and so I don't have access to my SD card.
Is there an app that backups to the cloud or another method ?

That's actually a damn good question. There is an app called just "SMS Backup" that apparently backs up all of your texts to neatly-organized Labels in your Gmail account, which seems kind of nice. It doesn't appear to have any way of restoring those backed-up messages to a new phone, however. Also note that is another, similarly-named app called "SMS Backup & Restore" which only backs up an XML file to your SD Card-- that's definitely not what you want.
A somewhat wackier solution might be found thanks to this thread: http://androidcommunity.com/forums/f4/data-file-storage-location-for-sms-messages-23299/
If you can navigate with, like, Root Explorer (or some similar file-manager app with elevated access privileges), you can try to locate /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db and export that file to Gmail or Dropbox or something like that. I know ASTRO lets you share files by long-pressing it, so I'm assuming that root-privileged file-managers will do the same.
Once mmssms.db is exported, I'm not totally sure what you'd do from there. Although I hope it's just a matter of replacing the .DB file on the new phone with the .DB uploaded from the old phone, I get the feeling it might not be just that easy.
Oops! It looks like the app I was thinking about is not "SMS Backup", but "SMS Backup+" which is advertised as being able to backup to Gmail Labels as well as to restore SMS (but not MMS) to new phones. Give that a whirl.
Mate, don't give up on a fix. PM ziggy1001 for adb.commands, there are two, but in most threads only one is mentioned. Good luck.
