thanks for any help
you have a gmail account?
Consider running something like SMS Backup + by Jan Berkel
https://market.android.com/details?id=com.zegoggles.smssync&feature=search_result
it will back up your SMS messages to labels in your gmail account... You can also restore to phone after wipe if needed.
It has worked pretty well for me. i.e. I haven't noticed any issues with it, and I can view my backed up SMS messages up in my Gmail account on my PC if/when needed.
While it says it can backup (but not restore) MMS messages, I don't get enough Pix messages to know how that works. Nor do I have it backup call log entries.
Hey thanks for this. Now I'll just back up my SMS before flashing and then restore them after flashing.
Ok i have a question. Yesterday i flashed a a different ROM but before i did that i did a titanium backup of all my Data and my Apps Then i flashed the new ROM then i restored all the Data. But after i did the restore and rebooted my SMS Texts were gone. But all of my contacts were still there. Is there a way to restore the lost texts or am i out of luck?
out of luck.. I use SMS Backup before flashing roms when i need my text messages..

As one7dchevy already stated, SMS Backup and Restore is a great app (which is also free) to use for saving your SMS when switching ROMs. You can also use Backup to GMail, which not only backs up SMS, but will also backup MMS and your Call Log if you don't mind the $1.99 fee (a bargain in my book).
I had the same thing happen when using TiBu but they showed up a lil later, I think after a reboot.

That is what usually happens after i restore the data. I do a reboot then then all my texts would all be there

Hey guy's
I restored 33000 SMS with SMS Backup & Restore.
I selected it as the default SMS application, restored my SMS and get back to Handcent SMS as the default SMS application.
Everything seem's to be here but when i enter in a conversation (the biggest for example), blackScreen, nothing loads. I think kitkat doesn't like so many SMS.. but why? JB liked it
an idea? (I already cleared cache and data of each application)
So I have two Kitkat enabled devices my Galaxy S4 (i9505) and the LG G2, now I have been using SMS Backup and restore (SBR shortend) on a scheduled basis to backup these devices, Yesterday I decided it was time to update both roms and relied on SBR to sort out the messages on both like I had done previously on Jellybean.
However when restoring these messages they all have the same received information.
My SMS client is chompSMS however I have downloaded a few alternatives to see if it was a chomp issue, it was not. So then I proceeded to restore my CWM backup which sorted all this out and tried out a few different SMS backup tools in addition to SBR to see if it was an issue there, again nothing.
Now I'm desperate to restore the time stamps on the main conversation windows for organisational purposes.
The weird thing is if I enter the messages the timestamps from within the message conversations are all correct, they are just being displayed incorrectly in the main conversation list (the one that details the messages from individual contacts)
It appears that this is an issue with Kitkat specifically due to restrictions, I've tried the xposed plugin AppopsXposed and still no luck.
Can anyone help me sort all this out please, it would be greatly appreciated
So oddly enough I have 4,846 conversation threads which contain 77,000 messages.
Titanium Backup will restore messages into the stock messaging app but nowhere else. To restore the messages it averages 15 minutes.
With that I cannot access them in ANY other app (i.e. handcent, chomp, go sms pro). The only solution is to use SMS Backup restore. The problem with this is that it takes over 7 hours. I started it 11pm and its now at 3:38am. There has to be a better way, any ideas?
I backed up my SMS messages with Titanium with the XML backup.
