Has anyone had any issues with SMS Backup+ and the restore function? I've been unable to get it to work amongst a series of different roms.

The latest version of PimBackup works fine.
Once backed up, "Threaded SMS" will convert the conversations properly.
I used PPCPimBackup and it restored my SMS to the 'official' .02 HTC 6.1 rom no problems whatsoever
this did not however restore my SMS to the "Alex 6.1" builds...it restored select messages totally out of order and only about 1/10th of the messages

wow...I know this is an old thread, but that is definitely a good find. Now my threads are in order. Thanks.
why do people keep their sms and mms messages? Do you not use email? I am not judging, just curious why one would want to keep their sms messages? Do you also move them to different folder like email users?

Is there any chance to restore SMS if I bucked up them via SK tools?
Hey guys.
Caused by Samsungs GREAT settings to delete SMS in conversations > 200 SMS i have lost 2500 SMS on my GalaxyNote after the first sms restore.
I have a backup of all SMS before the GalaxyNote and would make a backup of today (maybe with another tool which can handle sms which are on my phone twice)
I want to join them together to get all my sms back together.
How can i do this?
First of all: I am currently using this SMS Backup tool:Click
Is there any SMS Backup Tool wich only restores SMS which are NOT on the device? I dont want to have some of my SMS twice on my device.
My Idea was to delete all sms, then i restore the BackupFile from before the GalaxyNote with my SMS Tool right now and then i restore the current backup.
I hope you understand my Situation.
PS: Mixing up both XML BackupFiles is insane because i have 3500+ SMS and they are all numbered consecutively in both files.
Go SMS Pro, has build in backup & restore
and when you restore, it will only restore the missing SMS
on a side note i also use SMS Backup + (https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync)
but it will restore everything, causing duplicates
but that's not why i use it, i like that one because it can log calls / times, and SMS to google account and calendar, so it creates a good log of daily use, and tracking, is great for business when you are trying to remember customers calls and when it was done
My Backup is a good app for this

You wont like this, but two considerations:
- The setting remained unchanged, its Google/Android in general, not Samsung
- Its caused by you, by not paying attention, by not being prepared, not by Samsung nor Google.
This post is in no way intended to offend, I just cant stand this spitting around BS because one is enraged bc he fukkered up and blames everyone and everybody except himself. I mean this in a general, not a personal way. But it does touch you slightly, though

Ok so just got my Nexus 5 and looks like we have to use Hangout now for texting. I save all my text and wanted to know if anyone knows the best way to import them into Hangout?
I have used SMS back up programs in the past and works just fine but not sure if it will work with this...:crying:
Anyone else has this problem?

SMS Backup & Restore needs to become the default messaging app in order to complete the restore. Once the restore is completed, simply open Hangouts, go to setting, turn on SMS and it will give you an option to make Hangouts the default SMS app. :good:
Download Android SMS + MMS Transfer to restore messages directly from computer.
PS: If you can't see the messages on Hangouts, please go "Settings -> Apps -> All -> Hangouts" and then choose Clear Cache and App Data.
Open Hangouts again, wait a few seconds and you will see your messages.
Sorry for bringing it up again.
I am using samsung galaxy s3 and just bought nexus 5.
I tried backing up massages with app suggested but still I cant see the massages on hangouts - even after clear data/cache mentioned.
Any help welcomed
Thank you

Not sure if you're willing but if you port your number to Google Voice all your text messages are in the cloud and will sync for every device you install GV on.

dont i have to cancel my contract for that
I use SMS Backup+ and it does backup text messages done through hangouts but I cannot restore texts to hangouts from these backups.
I have read that SMS Backup and Restore does work on KitKat and our N5s but there may be a hoop or two you have to jump through.
I need to find a good auto backup and ability to restore my texts, I miss that from my previous Android phones.

Downloaded SMS Backup and restore. Downloaded the back up from my google drive . Restored the messages and a message appeared that i will have to set the default app to SMS Backup and Restore . Did that and then made Hangout the default app. all the restored messages appeared in hangout.
After this you can install any of the SMS apps from the play store like Go SMS Pro , Textra etc etc . Once this is done, Go to the settings of Hangout and uncheck the option of Hangout as the SMS app . All your text messages will now appear in the new SMS app you have downloaded from the play store.

Oh, sorry, I totally forgot that some people are still on contracts. But once your contract is up in the future that would be a viable solution.
Assuming you're on Sprint with that contract you can also integrate your Sprint number with Google Voice which will have the exact reversible effect as permanently porting it.
Besides some backup and restore solutions that some other guys left above there really isn't anything that will sync your text messages.
I'm moving from a Note 4 to the Pixel 3. I've got most data transferred, but there is a problem with group text messages.
I'm using the stock Android Messages app on both phones.
I used MyBackupPro to save and restore the messages. It appears to mostly work, but for group conversations, only the parts I sent are part of the restored conversation. Other non-group texts and MMS contain both sides of conversations.
Is there a different approach I should use to correctly transfer my SMS and MMS data?
I used SMS Backup & Restore, but I do note have group texts, so cannot confirm it would work.
Been using SMS backup and restore with a combination of Titanium Backup for years. Works 99% of the time. There is a new app called Migrate. Does it all in one with a flash able zip in TWRP for restore. Haven't actually used it but, looks promising.
Thanks for the replies.
I repeated the transfer using Titanium Backup. This method worked correctly, so apparently the issue is with MyBackup Pro.
