anybody know how to back up sms messages from the G1? Or what directory messages are saved under? I have about 600 SMS in one thread with a person and would like to back up for business reasons, but since copy and paste doesn't work, i'm out of options and its really slowing down my phone..any help would be greatly appreciated.

This might be a bit late, but now you have Txtract , it's released on Dec. 6th 2008.
You can now backup your SMS, Text Messages off your G1 phone into XML, CVS (HTML is coming up next) files on the SD card.
The application is available under the Tools category in the Market application. Screenshots and some instructions here http://wiki.brilaps.com/wikka.php?wakka=Txtract

My Backup also supposedly does this. I have not tested backup/restore features yet....just backup

Indeed it does, and it's a good app. However the output is so much not readable and latter processable by a not-much-computer-savy user.
Txtract 1.2 is coming up in a few days, let's wait & see what's in the bag

umm, it was neither built upon request, nor this thread is a promotion stunt. i actually saw this thread after the release of Txtract, and wanted to share the news over here.

Txtract 1.2 is released. Release notes here. http://wiki.brilaps.com/wikka.php?wakka=TxtractReleaseNotes
The application is already published on the Android Market.
Thanks,

Hi,
When your computer is connected, can you read/write to the card? Or, say, can you save anything else on the card via some other application running on your phone ?
Do you have the Txtract 1.2 ? It's build with Android 1.0 SDK, Release 2 (http://code.google.com/android/RELEASENOTES.html). Do you happen to have one of those drives mentioned in the release notes?

I'm getting the same SD card access error.
I'm able to read/write files when connected to a computer, and apps are able to read/write files to the SD card (specifically Android File Manager was able to copy a file).
I'm running RC30.
edit: And Txtract 1.2

There is got to be a conflict somewhere, it's odd. Which File Manager are you using? I'll try to replicate your environment over here.
A few troubleshooting steps:
Do you see a download/txtract/ directory in your SD card? If not can you please create them in that order and retry?
Can you write to that directory?
If you're a developer yourself, you can send also send me a DDMS trace.
The code that deals with file i/o is pretty straightforward, nothing fancy in there.

This seems like resolved. Another user complaining about the same issue just created the
/download/txtract directory tree on his SD card, and verified that it works.
I'll look into this in the next release, to make sure it exists. Apologies for the inconvenience.

Hey,
I just wanted to confirm that manually creating the txtract directory got it working for me as well.
Thanks.
Now...if only the next version had scheduled incremental backups and a viewer for the backup file

Thanks for verification, much appreciated and apologies for the inconvenience.
There is an immediate bug fix release (patch per se) on Android Market, v.1.3 only and only fixes this bug - automatically creates the "darn" directory. *how did i miss that!
As for the incremental backups go, we have a few ideas flying around

Txtract 1.5 Released - supports HTML Export
FYI...
There is a new version of Txtract 1.5 on Android Market. HTML export is now supported. (at last).
We hope you'll like it.

got the new version yesterday and the html support is so much better than the xml and csv export. 5 stars...

Txtract 1.6 Released

Hey there is an application called SMS Backup in Android market which lets you backup all your sms to your gmail account.. It stores all sms into a label which you can choose what to name it. Easy to setup and it will do auto backup as well... So if the phone is not with you and you want to see if some one send a sms to you,, you can log into your gmail account and see if there is anything new in sms lable... Very cool application...

It's amazing, isn't it
I think, the difference might be on the Txtract side, aside from being able to send to your gmail account, you can email to whichever email address you please. I personally like to email my SMS backups to my Yahoo! email.
I think, SMS Backup is cool, but I don't like the 100 splits, and I don't like all that stuff in my gmail account. Just a personal thing.
Just to be clear, two apps serve different purposes. I'm not bashing SMS Backup, or the work another fellow software developer did. If you want your SMS messages as labeled threads in your gmail account, SMS Backup is what you need.
If you want individual files in your SD card, or your computer or your backup to be sent to your other non-gmail email addresses, Txtract is probably a better fit to your needs.
Given that the Txtract backup file is a text file in nature, you can still use your email client's (or system's) search features to find some SMS you sent ages ago

Android Email Client IMAP folder workaround

Issue:
Haven't found any solid threads addressing the issue. If you are like me, you sometimes would like to use the native android email client to do perform basic functions with your IMAP email account. The problem is, your IMAP handling of certain functions do not sync correctly with the IMAP server, say Gmail for example. When you delete or send emails, your client creates new folders, and they do not go where they're supposed to. Here is a workaround, or rather an appropriate fix (for those with no interest in installing k9 or Seven).
Requires:
Root and SQL editing. Any android based operating system.
Fix:
You need to edit some values in the database. If you look under /data/data/com.android.email/databases/EmailProvider.db and go to mailbox. Under there you have all the _id and display names for your Email accounts. For 'type' you have the following integer values
0 = INBOX
1 = Folder
2 = ? (I have none set to 2)
3 = Drafts
4 = Outbox
5 = Sent
6 = Trash
7 = ? (I have none set to 7)
8 = Search
So if you reassigned 'type' 3, 5, and 6 to correct folders (e.g. [Gmail]/Sent Mail set as 'type' 5, at the same time setting wrong Sent folder to 'type' 1 to be deleted later), it should handle it properly.
This is a similar solution to correcting IMAP issues in Thunderbird (configuration editor). I am posting this here because I have found no other real working solution to the problem, and Google has refused to fix it in their OS revisions (AFAIK up to 2.3). Perhaps a patch could be designed that adds "Set to Sent", "Set to Trash", "Set to Drafts", etc., that allows a user friendly adjustment in the native client.

Interesting post.
I'm running an HTC Inspire with a custom ROM and my settings are different, which leads me to suspect that the fix requires a bit more than you indicate.
The path and file name you mention are not on my machine. I would guess it might differ based on your Android version (Froyo/Gingerbread/Honeycomb) and/or for any vendor who customizes Android, such as HTC's Sense or Motorola's Blur.
Under the VirtuousUnity ROM (a Pyramid/Sense3 port) that file is located at:
/data/data/com.htc.android.mail/databases/mail.db
In my 'accounts' table, the data seems to be organized differently than yours. I show the three IMAP accounts with 70 (yes, seventy) fields for each defining the behavior of each account for things such as (encrypted) password, refresh frequency, notification settings, and so on.
Among those 70 fields is '_sentfolderId' field, where it shows a numeric value corresponding to the below structure in the 'mailboxs' table in that same DB.
So, let's take my first IMAP address as an example. In the 'accounts' table, the '_sentfolderID' field displays '5' as the folder to use. That would seemingly correspond to the below convention in the 'mailboxs' table. If all there was to it would be to change the '5' to '7', I'd say it's a walk through the park. But I think not.
Here's where things get interesting.
In the 'mailboxs' table, the structure is far more complex. In that table, I show a minimum of 11 settings (rows) for each ID. They appear thus:
1 - INBOX
2 - Trash
3 - Drafts
4 - Outbox
5 - Sent
6 - INBOX.Drafts
7 - INBOX.Sent
8 - INBOX.Trash
9 - INBOX.Junk
10 - INBOX.Sent Items
11 - INBOX.Spam
(I say 'minimum' because one of my IMAP accounts used for business has additional folders added for organizational reasons, so I won't include them here in an effort to not confuse matters.)
However, I think there's more to it. For each record (listed above) there are 20 fields in my db corresponding thus:
_id (i.e.: 'INBOX', 'Trash', 'Drafts', etc.)
_undecodename
_decodename
_shortname
_serverfolder
_defaultfolder
_account
_movegroup
_showsender
_lastuid
_existsize
_noselect
_haschild
_serverid
_parentid
_displayname
_type
_synckey
_enablesync
_default_sync
For the first five records (a/k/a, '_id'), I show a numeric value in the '_defaultfolder' field thus:
2147483647
2147483646
2147483644
2147483643
2147483645
These '_defaultfolder' values are the same for each of my accounts - in other words, the set of 5 values appear for each of my accounts. There are also flags in other fields, but I think that the key is somewhere in the above settings. I have to believe there's a simple fix to this (like just changing the folder id settings to add or move the numeric value above to the 'INBOX.Sent' or 'INBOX.SentItems' field) but I'd like to hear from someone else before I take the plunge.
Perhaps I'll do a nandroid backup and experiment a bit, but if anyone else has some input, I'd really appreciate it because this is a problem that affects us all and is, in my view, inexcusable for Google or any phone vendor to not remedy.
Anyone else have thoughts on this?

Does this work?
I am on 2.3.5 using the default mail app with IMAP and GMAIL. I want to reassign the ANDROID SENT MAIL so it goes to the correct IMAP FOLDER. does your idea work?

I noted that on my Mail database, Junk mail seemed to be assigned to ID 7. I had nothing assigned to 2.
I have also noticed, that the edits to the database must be made while the app is still open or it will crash when you try and start it.
This did, however, work for me.

Do I access the db with a terminal app? If yes, what command(s) do I use?

On a motorola defy running 2.3.4 I do have the EmailProvider.db databases on the path you indicated, mjmacky. But I can`t locate the `mailbox` that you recommend going to.
Where in the EmailProvider.db is it located exactly?
I pulled the EmailProvider.db out of android and into my PC (via adb) and I`m now comfortably browsing it with an sqlite manager (The `sqlite manager` firefox plugin) but I simply can`t find the `mailbox` nor any indication of strings such as `INBOX` or `sent` or `drafts` etc.
Please be more specific as to the where I can find these values.
I must say solving this issue is a big deal for me, as there`s no other way I know of being able to store emails sent via android outside of it (other then on gmail perhaps) K9 does not solve my problem as it only enables to store sent messages in either SENT folder or SENT ITEMS where as on my IMAP server (Which is on hostgator) the folder is named INBOX.sent items. (Neither does `enhanced mail` solve this problem for me.)
BillTheCat , I have followed your various posts concerning this issue and share your interest in finding a solution.

I must thank you heartily mjmacky, as this post of yours helped me solve this problem.
(Thank you,BillTheCat, as well, as the info in your various posts contributed to my understanding of my problem.)
I found the `mailbox` you indicated, mjmacky, but not in the copy of the EmailProvider.db I pulled with adb out of android into the PC, but instead with the `sqlite editor` application for android. Being prompted by sqlite editor to choose which application`s databases I would like to browse I pointed to the native Android email app. Four databases appeared, one of which is the EmailProvider.db, having entered it, `mailbox` was now visible and inside of it the folder list you specified. In my case it was id #9 that had to be edited. it was assigned to `sent` whereas on my server the right name is INBOX.Sent Items. Having edited this value inside the sqlite explorer, I have sent a test email from the android native email application and indeed, instead of saving the sent message only to the `sent` folder as it did before (a folder that does not exist on my server) it sent it also to the INBOX.Sent Items folder, a folder that does exist on my server. Having checked my IMAP account in Outlook, I can finally see messages sent by Android.
I have no words enough to thank you, mjmacky.

Glad to hear you got it sorted out. I had no luck fixing mine, but hopefully the much anticipated ICS release for Inspire will fix it.
Just as a correction, Enhanced Email WILL save sent messages to the server, you just need to tell it which folder to use.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk 2

For some reason I could not make enhanced mail do that, I simply couldn`t manage to change the Sent folder to the desired name, probably missed something.

In EE open the email account you want to change (the message list) then: menu - folders - press/hold the folder you want as the target - select the popup for 'set as sent folder'.
Sent from my Inspire 4G using Tapatalk 2

Thanks, now Enhanced Email works for me too. I have a problem, though, in both native email app and Enhanced Email - same behavior - message is placed now in the correct Sent folder and is synced to server properly but if it contains an Attachment - the attachments itself will not be synced. The Attachment IS being sent and is being received by the recipient but it is not stored in the INBOX.Sent Items, on the server, while with the message that contained it does get synced. As consequence the message appears without it`s attachment in all clients using this IMAP - including in the sent folder of the android client that actually sent it (Be it EE or native Android Email)
Any ideas, please?

This manner doesn't work on Xperia Mini Pro
Dear mjmacky
I've tried your manner but it did work after I changed the type to corrospond number.
But when I synchronized my imap email with the native email app, the type automatically
change back to the wrong numeric. Is there any other setting I should do? Would kindly
have your advise? Your help will be highly appreciated by me. Thank you.

I abandoned this thread after I made the post because it didn't get any replies for awhile and I thought they would have fixed this by now. Personally, I have completely switched over to using the Gmail apps since their functionality has vastly improved over some of the native email apps. With that in mind, if you're still trying to tackle your issue, there is something to keep in mind:
My procedure could be device specific, meaning you might have to do some exploring to find the correct db file. I haven't really messed with this in 2 years, I just stumbled back and am surprised to see a post as late as December 2012.

I have a Nexus 4, and I am experiencing the same problem: was able to change values, but they revert back as soon as I launch the Email app.

Concept still works and is still necessary
Hi There,
Ran into the same problem with HTC Mail on 4.3 (Viper 3.1.3 One S) and the recipe still works as in the description of BillTheCat.
I got it to work by editing /data/data/com.htc.android.mail/databases/mail.db
Summarising:
if the account with id 3 is misbehaving, find all rows in the mailboxs table with "_account" 3. You'll have the usual INBOX Trash etc. folders, but you'll see 2 rows representing a Sent folder, likely one of which INBOX.Sent. Note the id (first column) for this folder and go back to the accounts table, and change the fields "_sentfolder" = INBOX.Sent and "_sentfolderId" = <id you noted>. Commit change to database and done.
Editing was easy with dSQLiteManager (free on GPlay), because I have more accounts I first dumped the two tables to csv and opened in excel on my computer, to have a better overview which mailboxes to change.
Unbelievable that this is still necessary, but it worked like a charm
@ikeny: it may be necessary to make sure that the mail app is not running when you commit your change to the database with your editor (I just killed it by long press back or force close from the app manager)
Cheers and thanks to OP and BillTheCat

Props to powerpenguin if he's actually found a solution, but I moved on to Aquamail a long time ago. Though it irked me to spend money for a function that my phone is supposed to have natively, I find the feature set of Aquamail and it's robust ease of use (like a consolidated inbox for all email accounts) to be well worth it.

Just an information for other people that encouter the same behaviour:
My "Drafts" folder does not sync. All other folders do. I checked the database. The "type" of my drafts folder is correctly set to "3".
Then I checked the AOSP source of the mail app. I found some comments that mentioned the drafts folder will not ever be synced in the mail app beginning with mail app version 2.
Line 351 and 1051 of: ImapService.java
Can anyone confirm the behaviour?
Sadly, I currently do not have the time to re-implement syncing of drafts.
If anybody has the time to look at this (might be really easy but I do not know whether editing the mentioned lines of code are enough) I would be very grateful.

Don't know if this applies here, I guess it is, cause it's about the IMAP folders, but I also couldn't found any "official" thread for the KitKat Stock Email app, the one that is on the play store.
So, I was using the email app, I have one IMAP account, that I really almost don't use. I entered on my email account settings (inside the email app settings) in order to see if there was something related to configure the imap folders, and for a few seconds I saw some settings that I never saw before!! You can see the attachments. You can see on the shots, Data Usage and System Folders extra settings!!
I kept going back and forward, but not always I would see those settings again and if I do, it would be for a fraction of a second. Only for a few times would stay for 3 or 4 seconds...
When those settings would stay longer, I could enable/disable the checkboxes from the sync email, contacts and calendar (it's an imap account, so I don't understand why those settings were there) but the ones from system folders I couldn't modify (enter on those). I also think that those settings only appear to me if I have the sync frequency enabled on.
Does anyone ever encountered these options?!? Does this mean that they are hiding somewhere and can be enable somehow, like with the help of some xposed addon?!
This would be very good, cause we all need to change those system folders...

I can't answer your questions but I strongly recommend to use K-9 Mail instead of the stock Android E-Mail-app. K-9 Mail is open source und available in the Google Play Store and also via F-Droid. K-9 Mail works well with IMAP accounts.

Can someone please tell me where I can find this on the (rooted) stock gingerbread 2.3.3 for the Verizon D2G?
On every droid device I have owned these settings have been here (all HTC tho).
I want to make some sync setting changes but cannot find anything aside from the Background Data and Auto Sync boxes. The Actually accounts, both Goggle and other social media networks are missing.
Could this be due to me using the 4 corner press to bypass the activation call at the start?
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Blur has Settings → Accounts (My Accounts app). You can find the sync settings there; tap an account to edit them.

Hi, thanks for the reply.
In Settings I have:
Wireless and Networks
Call Settings
Sound
Display
Battery and Data Manager
Backup Assistant
Location and Security
Applications
Privacy
Storage
Language and Keyboard
Voice input/output
Accessibility
Data and time
About Phone
The my accounts app is also missing. I have reset the phone back to default using the reset option in settings.
Any other ideas?

Update:
I may know why it is missing. I used Titanium to remove some Verizon apps, "My Accounts" included.
Restoring it does not appear to work. Since it tells me the app was not installed.
Does anyone know of a way I can slip stream the apk in there, or where I can find the APK?
Thanks!

Attached .apk and .odex.

Sorry for the n00b Q here.
Where do I place the .odex?
I have only ever installed from APK. Never seen/used .odex.
Thanks for the post though! WIll save me hopefully from an SBF.
- EDIT: I think I know what an ODEX is now, just need to know where to place it before or after installing the APK.
Since I likley need to use ADB to do this and push the files if one could provide the CMD for pushing these and to which DIR they need to go I would be great-full
Thanks

UPDATE :
I used Astro to drop these into the /system/app folder and I still have them there.
Does anyone know why I cannot find Settings → Accounts (My Accounts app).
Do I need the MyAccount.APK? Does anyone have this?
Thanks!

I don't have anything like that (“MyAccount.apk”) on my stock rooted 4.5.608.
I can make a nandroid backup and upload the /system image, though, if that's fine with you.

Sure I would love that.
Failing that, may have to SBF I guess.
Let me know when and if you post nandroid..
Thanks!

See PM.
The file is, however, is a regular TAR archive (as CWM 5 uses those now), and you can open it with Total Commander, 7-Zip, WinRAR and the likes. Inside it you can find the entire /system/app directory as it exists on my phone. Some apps are frozen; you might also be interested in some changes I made to /system/build.prop (since you're a GSM user judging by your country of residence, you can safely copy it after backing up yours) — it has some tweaks added to improve GSM performance.

So after looking through your app folder, I discovered that the missing app I was in need of was called Setup.apk.
Now when I go to settings, I have the "Accounts" option.
Can't seem to add facebook to it. But I can live with this.
Thanks again for all the help.

Do you mean the stock Facebook plugin or the official Facebook app?

When you go into Accounts from Settings (which I was missing but have now corrected) and then click on Add Account. It shows me the options. Google, Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook etc.
I click Facebook and nothing happens, when I click the others it lets me add a new or another account.
Facebook seems like it is just dead.
The Facebook for Android App is installed and the blur.facebook,apk or whatever it was called is still there too (assuming this is the stock plugin.)
UPDATE: I giess many ROMS don't allow FB for Android to sync contacts due to some fight with Google and Facebook.
So using an app like friend caster from one louder lets me sync some data but not all.
I guess the Sense ROMS I am used to have Facebook Sync built in. This ROM does not, nor does it allow it fully.
Thanks.

Facebook was working for me when I was on stock 2.3.3/4.5.608
but it did change with gingerbread
but it doesn't work on most custom ROMs
the android version 2.3.3. almost doesn't matter, with all the changes verizon/motorola make to it
so you can't really compare phones made by other manufactures
I still think you need to SBF to get things working again, or at least, do a reset/ delete data
edit: when i was still on stock GB i froze a bunch of apps, and one of them broke facebook
I unfroze them but facebook would not work, tried a few different things, fix permissions, reboot, clear cache/data for apps, but ended up doing a wipe data/reset and that fixed it

[Q] App to Browse Home Network Folders & Download Files to Phone?

I want to be able to connect as my PC user account, browse to a UNC path (e.g. "\\DESKTOP-PC\Pictures"), and download/transfer files from the PC to my phone... all without the need for any server software or additional setup on the PC.
I see the "ShareFolder" app in the marketplace (for $2.50), but there is no trial, and few reviews. Does anyone know if that app will suit my needs (one review makes me believe it won't, but the description indicates it will)? Or can anyone recommend a solution?
Thanks very much for reading!

Depends on how much space you need to have for "sharing" and what you need to do. The ShareFolder app can let you look at pictures, but you cant open any other file types on your phone. Not very useful.
I highly recommend using SkyDrive, as now they have a Desktop Folder, just like Dropbox, and then your computer doesn't even need to be on. But space is not huge....
The SkyDrive app is free but there are other apps for SkyDrive
Or, if you don't want to bother with a SkyDrive folder on your desktop, you can check out Allway Sync - it runs off your computer and automatically syncs your specified folders just about anywhere, including SkyDrive. I have the Pro Version and LOVE it!
Otherwise, you have to pay for a "big" cloud space or run a server off your puter, as far as I know.

I find 25Gb to be spacious enough for the content I host on there, really.

A way to sync folders between phone, tablet and PC?

Why hallo thare!
As you see in my signature I have a Gnote and a Asus Infinity and my home PC is a MSI GX740 with Windows 7. My idea is that I want to sync some folders so they look all the same on all three devices. The method would be when they all are connected to my home Wifi they shall sync a certain folder. Another neat thing is that everytime I get home and connect my phone or tablet to my Wifi it shall upload the DCIM/Camera dir to my PC so I dont have to mess with that
Is this possible?
Thanx in advance

For sure it's possible, but why not give a chance to e.g. a dropbox. It gives all functionality you ask for, with uploading camera pics directly to dropbox folder on my lap, all folders in dropbox synced in all my units

I was looking for something similar and decide to use box.net as backup/sync tool.. Whenever I do something in one of the folders stored in box, it automatically syncs to the cloud. Then when I use the box app in my tablet, phone or desktop, all the files are synced.
I read somewhere about auto upload photos, but not sure if it was with box.net or dropbox.
hope this helps

Photo sync (camera upload) from a phone works in dropbox, and you have to choose an option whether any data connection or wifi only.

Try Sugarsync.

Faced with a similar need, I worked with a family member in another city to set up a private "Cloud" using FTP. I back my files up to his system, he backs his up to mine.
The PC apps are Filezilla server and client for the FTP functions. SyncBack is an automated backup/sync program. Those take care of PC to PC transfers and syncs.
The android app I chose is FolderSync.

Try GammaSync
For PC-to-Android folder synchronization (only one-way at the moment) I developed a free app which does not require external cloud storage services (like Dropbox or SugarSync). Check GammaSync. It's available on the Play Store. Maybe you'll find it useful
