Hi!
my sister got an Android phone for her birthday, but after some time, she realised, she doesn't like it so much...She decided to buy something more "user-friendly"(i don't understand her, she's crazy!!) and she decided to buy an iPhone.. But she has no idea, how to import her sms messages from Android to iPhone(if it is possible). Don't you know any solution, how to get it working??
Thanx a lot
Try saving the sms' to the sim card and just transfer the sim across, and save them to the phone.
if it works give me the android. Her loss can be my gain.
You can use "91 mobile assistant for android(visit www.91.com to download)" backup sms messages.
then,use "91 mobile assistant for iphone" restore your sms messages.
P.S:Your iphone must JB at first,and add weiphone(app.weiphone.com/cydia) by Cydia(install afc2).
Ok, thanks a lot i'll try it

You can use SMS Migrator here: http://www.androlib.com/android.application.org-baole-mainimporter-iCDt.aspx
SMS migrator only works for importing to android, not iphone.
91 mobile assistant android can only export as txt xml or csv,
91 mobile assistant iphone can only import .db files.
Is there no way to convert an xml into a db?
You mean export.
So I guess it's not possible then?
This is so amazing, with all this modern technology out there and no, there is no way to move data from product a to product b? It seems that this industry is indeed stuck in a thick cloud (of how to make things extremly hard for customers who want to switch).
Jailbreaking an iPhone 4s would not be that easy and I personally do not like to do this.
Why can't apple step up and create a "easy to transfer everything on the android to iPhone" application and google could do it vice versa? With what we have now it is either forget your data transfer and be stuck forever or throw it overboard and start from scratch. This is IT from the stone age and not the fancy miracle pixie dust stuff that is printed on the sales boxes.
I'm just switch from android to iphone,
is it really no way to convert sms from A to I?
My sms brought from my Palm -> WM -> Android...

any solution ? no way for transfer simply text message from Android System (like Samsung Galaxy GS2 or Note) to iPhone ? Of course, iPhone 4S w/out JB! We can manipulate the iPhone backup made by iTunes!
ohhh !!! :O
I badly need any apps to do this..... my brother offered his galaxy s2 to me if i transfer all his contacts / sms to his new iphone 4s....
guys, any luck !!
Hello Together,
as I had the same problem (my girlfriend switched from android to iPhone) - I wrote a complete App that views the android sms-table on the iPhone, checks out contacts from the iPhone adressbook and allows to delete not needed messages!
If you are interested in the solution (as I'm still working to get it certified from apple) you can already contact me under philipp[at]frenzel.net
If you don't understand why it's only a viewer, this is because apple closed down any methods to add records to their tbl_messages in the background (uihuihuihui)
Took me days to dig into this "specials...".
Cheers Philipp

I used smsbackup + and I successfully copied all the messages on the database to gmail. But now my question is: how can I restore these sms on my iphone 3G iPhone OS 5.1?
Thanks

It's amazing how I face a problem and suddenly someone else has the same issue and digs up an old and forgotten thread for me.

U can modify the sms.db itunes backup file for add/remove/manage sms/mms. For who know a little bit of database language, i think all is possible. Remember we talking about text message, and non machine-code
With Android system we can export on many ways the sms (for example in xlm) and with another software (OSX, Windows, Linux) is possible merging the messages and create a new sms.db. After, with a synch through iTunes, we can have do the job.... Utopia ? I don't think....
Hi all
I have whatsapp installed on my iphone and I used for quite long time and then I has been now using it on my android device but I found that I can't retrieve my old messages from the iphone to restore it in my android device !!
I found that IOS store the conversation in a file called Chatstorage.sqlite whereas Android OS save it in a file called mesgstore.db.
I extracted both and using a sqlite database viwer I found my messages but unfortionately both structures are different.
So is there any guru/geek/developer/programmer who can help me to import my old messages form chatstorage.sqlite ( Iphone whatsapp version ) to msgstore.db ( Android whatsapp version ) or at least to change it into .xml file that can be restored as sms ?!
Thanx in advance.
Namastey!
I want to know what are my options such as JAVA based apps, which are installable over Micromax Q80, from which I can extract text messages if not multimedia and then import them to Android 4.0 (Xperia mini pro SK17i Mango), I would prefer if the application is of a web based storage kind, such as SMS backup plus, which stores messages in google mail then can import back but is there a JAVA based app that does it? Even I had problems with SMS plus Android app, when I tried to restore my messages on changing SIM and reverting back but that is a separate issue, thanks a lot for reading!:angel:
My boss had sent me two contacts of the suppliers. He uses Nokia E5. I know that it would be in vcf format. My Galaxy Grand received 2 messages saying <content not supported>.
Is there a app to receive business cards from any phone. This one is pulling my nerves.
Hi, I've faced the same problem receiving vCards from Nokias so I've created app bizCard Manager.
Get it on Google Play. Let me me know what do you think.
Going along with this, is it possible to import it by going through a file explorer by any chance?
Well I'm not sure what and why do you want to import in file explorer.
My app intercepts any NEW sms vcards sent from Nokia by sms to your Android device when installed.
You mean those two previously received vcards? No it is not possible to import them. Anyway thanks for a tip, I will try to import vcards from sms inbox too, because now I'm importing them from MMS box only.
But let me know if I'm wrong about your question.
Hello dear XDAers,
try my luck here:
Since a family member died, I'm trying to preserve the memories of it and extract WhatsApp voice messages in a way that makes listening to them as easy as possible - ideally as it is presented in WhatsApp itself.
I have already moved WhatsApp to another rooted device.
What I don't want is a chat history with "11:19: voicemessage....opus" where I then have to manually go to each file in File Explorer.
In fact, it's pretty much exclusively voice messages with a little bit of pictures.
I have now installed WhatsApp in a VM, which works so far.
However, I have made the experience that WhatsApp at some point asks for an update or stops the service if, for example, the date of the VM is not correct.
Then I have to set up the whole thing again - even worse, if then the phone number should no longer be available.
The best thing would be a program that extracts the WA data (however, e.g. by pushing an old version) and then creates an HTML file or displays the chat history in the program itself in a WhatsApp style.
In any case, the voice messages would have to be embedded.
It may also cost something.
With the usual suspects such as from Mobiletrans, however, I have found no documentation on how the messages are displayed or only documentation in which the voice messages were then stored in a separate folder.
Thank you very much
