[Q] How to migrate data to Nexus S

I need help
How I move my data in HTC Hero(GSM) such as SMS MMS Calendar to Nexus S

Calendar is synced in the cloud with google. but as far as SMS and MMS their are apps on the market that will do that for you.
App Data like game saves and app settings will be lost unless your hero is rooted and u can pull it off the /data/ portion

My Hero was rooted, but Nexus S didn't root,what best choice SMS+MMS backup app

SMS Backup + by Jan berkel is a good choice

There aren't really any good apps for restoring MMS from what I've searched. Most of the good ones say "MMS not supported" or "MMS restore not supported." Your best bet is using a root application such as Titanium Backup to restore all the MMS.

If you need to store sms in a safe place and don't need it on your phone you should hit the market and get sms backup. It wil take all your sms and store them to your gmail account in the event you need them.

Thank for SMS backup application name,I already backup&restore it.
I have one more question
which application that use for backup other data such as calendar,contact.
I want to use backup application, because I have some problem with calendar sync.
For this problem please look in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=914930

Titanium can backup sms and other user data. They are in green.
•[CONTACTS/CALLS] Contacts Storage 2.2 - this stores Call History
•[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2 - this stores SMS/Text Messages
•[BOOKMARKS] Internet 2.2 - this stores the brower's settings and bookmarks

Not sure of MMS messages since they are downloaded to the SD card.

I also recommend SMS Backup +

I recommend (and develop) http://www.bloove.com

I use both SMS Backup + and Go SMS. Go SMS backs up and restores SMS messages on the phone and SMS Backup + backs them up to my gmail account.

Is there any trick to make the Call Log restore works?
I've tried to restore from my Samsung Galaxy S2 running Android 2.3.6 to the new 4.0.3... And the Contacts app crash! Force Close!

Sms backup+, my backup are the ones I have used no problems with either.

I've always used SMS Backup & Restore from the market, never had a problem with it and it's quick, even when you have 5,000+ texts to backup/restore.

go SMS has an integrated backup feature

I use this app for my daughter's phone. I don't care if mine get erased. For the number of her texts to restore, it takes quite a while for the phone to be usable because it takes a while for the message database to stabilize. But, it works.

I use SMS Backup +.

Works great.
Automatically backup SMS, MMS and call log entries using a separate label in Gmail / Google Calendar. It is also possible to restore SMS and call log entries back to the phone (MMS not supported yet).

You can configure it to backup automatically, once an hour, once a day, etc. I set it for once a day so it doesn't tax my battery usage all the time.
It backs up to a free online account.

I've been using this one also for over a year. I love how it backs up to my Gmail so that 1) I never lose my texts and 2) I can search through them in Gmail if I need to. It works great to restore and I haven't ever lost any when switching between roms or different phones. It also backs up my phone call log to Gmail.

This is what I use as I prefer to have a local backup vs cloud based (data privacy reasons).

I back my dialer storage up via TiBu, but it's only safe if you're returning to the same base or at least same android version. It backs up SMS/MMS and everything. I however use SMS Backup/Restore for everything else.

[Q] Which texting app would you recommend for the SIII?

Whether it's stock, free, or paid, what text message app do you recommend? I'm tired of losing my messages after I change roms..

Download super backup. You can backup your texts and call logs between flashing. I use the stock app

Do you use this alongside titanium backup?

SMS backup & store is good, but slow at restoring. I think Handcent subscription portion has a backup service.

That one works good too, but is slow. However super backup saves to your SD card so if the phone is destroyed they're gone. I use both. Super backup for flashing and SMS backup to keep a more secure backup in case my phone is destroyed.

SMS Sync?

So I regularly switch between the OPO and S6, I'm looking for an app that syncs my SMS between the two. Right now I'm backing the texts up, uploading it to Google drive, then downloading and restoring the file. This is very time consuming as I don't delete my texts very often and have over 15k texts stored.
The only app I've found to do this is mysms but it's a paid service, I'm looking for a free app or much cheaper than what mysms charges... Any suggestions?

Try MightyText. Also lets you read/send texts from your PC.
I also think you can get the same using PushBullet.

Hmmm PushBullet looks promising... I installed mightytext a while ago but could only see it on a PC, not 2 phones. I'll look at it again tho.

I was using "Super Backup SMS + Contacts". It creates a backup file on your phone or you can upload it to GDrive/Dropbox/whatever. Than simply restore this file on your second phone.
