so im suppose to be getting a galaxy s3 tomorrow
im running a custom rom (cynogenmod 10) to be exact on my i727

Google for contacts, backup to Gmail for texts, mms, and call logs.

you can try using "SMS Backup & Restore" (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en) to back up your SMS. I've been using this and it's been doing the job so far.
ok thanks all

My Carrier (Rogers) allows me to block SMS as well as phone calls via their web site. Worst case scenario... change your number.

Just leave your phone on and let the messages come through. If your phone freezes leave the back door off and just do a battery pull it will run its cycle.
do most people restore system info and all apps of try start fresh and keep only best apps. also do most apps recharge you every month. the lady at att said charge me ninety a month but i can't believe ever bought that many and it shows my sister going over data but claim its Her number gets extra charges. seem right?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
No usually not a good idea to restorr system data. Also no unless you sign up for a monthly subscription. You are only charged one time for an app
i knew that. what about contacts or passwords. dont restore anything no system data? . i knew lady told it wrong. no way apps

Never restore system data.
And as stated, you only get charged one time for apps.

You should be using Google for your contacts or making backups in the contacts app.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777
You also have the option of exporting your contacts to the sd card.
what about installing other phones or sms programs. do keep originals or best one and replace others
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using xda premium
What do u mean by installing other phones? And when you download apps u can keep the origionals.
I'm guessing that there is no way to do this, but I want to restore some deleted sms messages. I have a missing month of SMS text messages and I am hoping that they might still be located in the sms database wherever that might be.
1. Does anyone know where the sms database is located on the charge?
2. Has anyone ever tried to open it (I assume it is a *.db)?
Thanks in advance!
Titanium Backup can back it up so you can check that out.
Edit: I mean titanium Backup can back up and restore sms.

Otherwise it looks like it can't be done. I found this by googling it. Get SMS Backup and Restore for future backups. I use it.

I have like 10 stashed away for saving AND it recovers through
wiping and re installing ROMS
So, a couple days ago my phone started to not receive any pictures what so ever, and im unable to send them, they will only send if i put a letter for the subject, will not send with just the picture.....people told me they have sent me pictures and none have shown up at all, i do not use wifi and yes my data is turned on, im unsure of what the problem is....i did a factory reset and nothing, cache/dalvik wipe still nothing, changed roms and still nothing, now running aokp ics with kg4 modem and changing to hefe kernel here shortly, any help would be appreciated

Never had good luck sending picture messages with this phone, even on stock. Only thing that does it, sometimes, is to have someone send me a picture message first, then i send one back, then it works. But that's rare and inbetween. I ditched my data plan, so I don't care for it now. I'll email it if it's that important to share and use wifi. lol.
It was fine a couple days ago, then all of a sudden it started doing this....

Check your apn.
Sorry, apn? I just know how to switch roms etc, know nothing about the other stuff as apn and what not
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app
Google apn with your carrier name in front of it. For me it would be att apn.
From curiosity, what would apn have to do anything with not receiving pictures or being able to send them?
Edit: i searched it, my apn is fine, if it makes any sense, i sent myself a picture, it didnt come through, it only came through when i put a subject, as only i receive it when i send myself it, no one else receives the picture i send them, even if it has a subject

Stands for access point name ie it controls access to the data network. Without the right apn settings mms won't work.

When your changing roms do factory reset... Wipe dalvik and cache... Then format system. Its just good practice.
I see you said you are using stock mms.... If your Internet is working then most likely its something Tmo might have to fix.

If you're running any rom that uses my aroma installer the wipes get done for you. If you want a totally clean install it's better if you opt for NOT doing a /data backup during installation.
As a test for mms you can try to send yourself an mms and see if you receive it. If you do then mms definitely works.

I reverted back to aokp, have done factory reset, wiped cache/dalvik, and i am using gosms, i have sent myself a mms with no subject and it never came through, if i put a subject in then i receive it, but if i send someone a mms with subject they do not receive it, if they send me a mms it doesnt come through, if you get what i mean, i can take screen shots to show if i need to, but most likely i have to call or go to tmoble

Yeah it might be an APN issue but you'd be one of the first people reporting this issue so I would call up t-mobile and tell them you can't send picture messages, pretty much what you stated here.
If you do go to t mobile. You might have trouble getting help with a custom Rom. They are not going to support custom firmware.

Another question, is it possible a new sim card could fix this issue? I was searching and found some people got new sim cards and it fixed some issues so im wondering if its a possibility getting a new one could fix this

Yes, it's possible. Call TMOB and see what they suggest.
I'd like to disable LTE while I'm at work because we don't get reception for it here. It then believe it kills the battery because it's constantly trying to find a signal and flips from 4g to 3g, etc.
I'm running CleanROM 8.2, which is Android 4.3. I've seen other posts that say use Phone Info, but the app crashes. I've also seen to dial a special number, but that number doesn't do anything.
Is there an easy way to disable 4g LTE with later versions of Android?
Thanks!
What's to prevent you from just disabling mobile data altogether?

You should still be able to receive calls and texts because I do that all the time on my phone and those things still work. If it does't then I don't know what to tell you.

If you disable data you can't receive texts, being on wifi enables Internet access but not texts or phone calls when data is shut off

Uhm, I don't think that's the case. Mobile data is solely Internet and multimedia messages. Phone calls and texts still work without data.
