A app that Backs up your SMS/MMS to your SDCARD(alternatively, maybe a app that saves them there in the first place?)
And also Deletes the text messages it backed up.
I've seen a few apps that you set on a schedule to auto-backup texts, but none have the feature to auto delete after the backup.
And I don't see the point of installing 2 apps to make this work(trying to keep my Internal Size down due to cheap a** manufacture not putting in a decent size memory).

Hi cheetah, not sure bout ideas, but I'm interested in learning about Java and I'm a complete noob. (I don't know anything about Java) and I'm not sure if u would be that kind to teach me.
P.S. idea? Let's go for... a multiwindow app (with or without root, for AOSP and other phones.)

Unacceptable losses of SMS

Wondering whether I am the only one with this issue
I SMS a lot and like keeping the SMS on my device. I had recently an extremely unpleasant surprise: my total list of conversations was back to... ONE conversation with my last SMS and... That's it!!! Thousands of SMS gone
I happen to save everything with mIQ and hopefully it's not lost. However I had the experience already twice in the past 2 weeks so I am wondering:
Is this a feature from Android? Big SMS file --> autoarchive? If then how do I disable it or how do I recover my SMS?
Is it a bug? In which case this is extremely severe and not serious for such an expensive device or for an OS that is expected to be a safe one
Is it from Samsung implementation? Or Android itself?
Please share your experience, I'd like to know if I am the only one and if there is any solution (My "old" Touch Pro 2 with WM 6.5 never lost a single SMS although having more than 30,000 SMS in the box)

Ive never let my SMS get to more than 500, mainly because I don't like scrolling through congressional. Never had this issue though.

you really shouldnt keep that many sms around anyhow with android, its likely to cause some issues but did you check the settings on the sms app? mine has settings to delete threads after a certain number and is set to 200 by default.
I use a program called Backup to Gmail. Works excellent.
It let's me delete sms'es on the phone while my Gmail account keeps them all even if I delete them on the phone.
It can also restore sms'es.MMS restore is not supported yet but backup works good.

Yes of course... Besides If I had it set at 200 I would expect to keep at leats 200, not 1
I shouldn't let many with Android ? So with WM6.5 it's ok to have 20,000 SMS but Android cannot handle them ? Hum... Somethng is seriously wrong

Thanks, I know a few of these. Without being able to restore --> kind of useless for me... Actually as far as I remember some CAN restore
I am already using mIQ that works ok (though a bit slow to handle too many SMS)
why would you even want that many, its not like you are going to read through 20k sms
It's funny like the answers are more about having less SMS or why wanting that many rather than why the SMS client or the OS Re broken...
Hey man why do u need a car, just take your bicycle!
I have more than a thousand conta ts I converse regularly with. Then add a certain number of sms per conversation and u get there
Anyway I do not even have that many on my Tab... Far less than on my previous device. And this disappointing device/os/client combination cannot even manage them... What do you expe t me to do or say? Go back to my TP2? Honestly this is ridiculous
meanwhile I'd like to know if I am the only one and if someone knows some fises (other than delet my SMS or but an iPad...)

give handcent a try and use their backup service, ive never had a problem with the stock sms app, currently theres around 300txts for 20 contacts, and 50 or so for the rest.
No problem here as I don't keep a lots of sms. But had a problem with new sms going into the wrong contact profile. So, have to be extra careful not to reply to the wrong person.
Anyone faces the same problem?

Deleting would help more than the purchase of an iPad, as that uses the 3g chip to get a data connection, while both the texting and voice service are ignored.
That said... I never got this issue, but my brother has a relatively similar one: long messages tend to be split, mixed and (why not, since we are at it) partly deleted. That is on Eclair using an Xperia X10 mini pro.
Never had this kind of issue when i was at my peak of sms usage: store on the MMC, and there you go, thousands of sms on a puny Nokia 3650.

[APP] UNDELETE 2.0 - recover deleted files on the go [ROOT, FREE IMAGE RECOVERY]

UNDELETE - RECOVER YOUR FILES ON THE GO
Undelete for Android is an application for root users that allows you to recover any type of deleted file from your SD card or internal storage.
With support for over 1000 file types, Undelete can come in handy if you accidentally delete photos or want some old tunes to listen to.
Undelete can also securely wipe and shred files so that they will be impossible for others to recover.
Features:
- Restore any file that has not been written over
- Securely wipe/shred files
- Thumbnail generation
- Works with images, video, music, archives and binaries
- Batch operations
- Preview media files
The free version of Undelete 2 now allows unlimited restore of image files - you will have to purchase the Key to recover all other types of file.
Currently, only FAT is supported. On Tegra devices, only the external SD is supported. EXT 4 will probably never be supported - use a desktop tool (if you can find one).
Some files that are discovered after a scan may fail to recover as data may be corrupted beyond repair, just like desktop based solutions.
INTERNET and READ DATA permissions are needed for the logging system. Logs are only sent manually with your permission through the "Write to us" dialog.

Regarding double storage - send logs, we now have an improved logging algorithm.
Regarding action bar - its just a normal action bar.
Regarding not liking that everything is not free - you do know what a buisiness is right? We have to PAY people to WORK. We have to PAY for office space. PAY PAY PAY.
We dont do ad supported apps. They are pointless on rooted phones.

True rooted phones can block out ads... true you need to pay your workers.... but imanges only kind of weak. Maybe make the app a full 7day triao be abel to restore all files and after 7 days only images can be restored
will send logs

You have absolutely no idea what youre talking about mate - if it was free for seven days people would just install it every time they need it, then uninstall, then install again.
Anyway, end of discussion.
So - is everything working ok in 2.0? We made many changes, so some feedback would be appreciated!
Oh WOW - great update! Thanks so much for this wicked app, its saved my bacon a few times

Its working PERFECTLY. One small question though - can you provide a full list of the supported files?
EDIT - submitted as newtip! Hopefully they will write on the portal!
I will get you a full list tomorrow. But in fact the app supports any filetype. Simply use a wildcard in the search string: *.png for example will find all png extensions.
Basically you can restore any file...

I agree. I've had a free 50gb from Box for a couple of years, but the lack of Sync makes it far less useful. Any use of that space is accomplished manually, which partially defeats the purpose.
Unless I'm missing something - is there a way to get Box files and folders to automatically update, upload, etc.?

I don't think so. You can of course save from a lot of apps on your 700 or other Android to the cloud, and access your files (provided you have some kind of data connection), but automagically... not with the app itself. I saw that an app I have been using for a loooong time with my own FTP server actually supports syncing... <blush>: FolderSync. Will give it a try.
Trial version ("only allows two accounts and has no sync filters or Tasker support" -- enough for testing Box ):
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.lite
Full version:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=dk.tacit.android.foldersync.full
EDIT: confirmed working! I really recommend FolderSync for its versatility and all the options it throws at you. Nice to see it actually works.
It works!! Thank you! I also noticed that Polaris Office can save/edit files on Box no problem.
This is a great offer, no strings from what I've been reading in their TOS and 3rd party reports. Seems they just started the offer and who knows how long they will. They do limit the file size per file though. So to move big files, then you have to pay.
One thing to keep in mind about this deal though, they offer zero warranty and zero guarantees of your data being secure. See item#14 of the TOS. But I guess you can't ask for much when it's free .

Thanks for the link - no, I wasn't aware of this, and it does look promising.
It looks like this would work for my phone, but I'll have to see if there's a Windows desktop equivalent. That's where it would be the most useful. I'm currently using IDrive to backup various files and folders on my desktop, in real time. I was able to get 15gb of free storage there, and it does do full sync, but I'd love to be able to do this with my 50gb of free Box storage. As I said, the main limitation with free Box is that it does not provide a sync function. If there's a way to enable this with a 3rd party application, that would be ideal.

Exactly - that's what I was referring to. Box definitely does do real-time sync, but you need one of their paid accounts for this.
I have mixed feelings about paying for cloud-based storage, and have taken a serious look at CrashPlan, SOS Online Backup, etc., to do a full backup of perhaps 300gb+ of photos and files. But I haven't convinced myself this is either practical, reliable, or necessary. I currently have a backup strategy with 2 duplicate internal hard drives, updated nightly, along with a similarly cloned external HD backed up weekly, and then stored off-site.

[APP][3.2+][FREE] Blox Backup. Unlimited storage. Cloud

Right since last year i haven't been developing any apps due to both my other apps just failing and because i now actually have a job but there's things i always wanted to do in terms of Android apps and an app like this was definitely one of them.
so about the app, like the title says it's a cloud backup app, which i have made for backing up images to the cloud, it's also got unlimited storage and thankfully is secure enough for other people to use.
It's not %100 complete but apps never are so this app will hopefully be supported a lot lot more than my other apps so if there's features you'd like but the app doesn't have then let me know and i'll try my best to add it.
Here's the Gplay description:
Blox Backup is an easy to use image cloud backup app with unlimited storage which means you can backup any image of any size for free with no worrying about limited storage or losing any of your favourite photo's.
I have made Blox Backup easy to use with a clean and simple layout to ensure you can use the app without issue.
It also has these simple features:
Ability to sign up to your own personal account
Unlimited storage
Easy to use interface
A clean and simple grid gallery
The ability to download your photo's back
You can also delete the images at any time!
So why not choose Blox Backup as your next solution to securing your favourite photo's!
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.simplistic.bloxbackup
So yeah, if you like it then please let me know as i have a good feeling about this app!
Thanks for reading
What method are you using to secure the photos?
Also, when I try to select a photo to upload, it just force closes. So the app is unusable right now.

I'm currently trying to resolve the problem
Thanks for the quick reply.
Unfortunately i have had to temporarily un publish the app due to problems.
Right i give up, I've tried every single "solution" but absolutely nothing works, so i have no idea what's happened but it won't work so this app, unless someone can actually fix it, is going to off the play store
Okay, I'm feeling very very stupid right now, it turns out i forgot i deleted the imageview from the layout but made a rookie mistake and left the code. I'm such a twat. It will be back on the play store soon!
It's back on the play store now and this time it'll actually work

How are you finding the app now you can actually upload?
The app looks great and I love the simpleness of it.
There is one feature that I suggest you add though. Can you make it so that we can select multiple pictures to upload at once? It is a pain to only be able to do one at a time.
Other then that, I love it!

Generally i like this idea, but how can you guarantee unlimited storage?
Where is the server at? How do i make sure that security is good enough and nobody but me got access to my photos?

+1, what he said.
The only other app I know that is technically "unlimited storage" is Shoebox. It basically shrinks your image to a lower resolution so that their server/SAN/NAS doesn't fill out quickly. There's no way "unlimited storage" is a free thing just like that, there's gotta be tradeoffs or compromises somehow and someone's gotta pay for hosting the storage. Please explain how all of this will be addressed, otherwise for all we know we could be upload our private/personal photos to your server for you to enjoy.

+1. Wanna know where, what cryption, and so on for this app. If it is stored in USA, it's kinda out of the question to use this app.
Well according to Quickblox it's unlimited and i had a look because i thought there might have been some catch but the only thing it really says is that it's on a shared cloud storage as I'm only on the basic free package. As far as i know it's safe as long as i don't give any details away and as long as i use my own api key, secret code and auth key, rather than a public test one.
If i'm wrong and using shared storage isn't safe or could harm any of you then please let me know because i want this to be genuine app but if it'll cause problems i may as well delete it and not bother with it.
Again though, as far as i know it's safe and is indeed unlimited unless i paid for the top package which i definitely can't afford
I like it very much so far. Thank you

Thanks for the suggestion. Great idea!
It would also be nice to be able to monitor a remote phone (opening up the app to for parental monitoring for example).
This could be achieved by either allowing to :
- send a daily report by mail
- having a client app with data synced whenever a connection is avaialable
- sending data to a central server
...
anyway to export the data as .csv ?

"Would you like to know how you use your smartphone?
Well, as you've already installed this app, that'll be an affirmative!
By gathering statistics about your apps with Phone Usage Monitor, you'll know where your precious time is creeping off to. Time you might want to spend on living your real life..."
Part 1 - Motivation
The second "do" doesn't really have a function in the first sentence and I made it a bit softer to make a more friendly first impression. I mentioned the app's name to remind the user what's going to help them (branding, be proud of your creation). I stayed true to your intention, the reference to 'real life', but made that a bit softer as well by using "might" and not mentioning a negative word like "lose". We're all winners here!
Part 2 - Current
"To let us know this information we will run a service in the background to monitor the use you make of your smartphone.
Quiet!, it will not consume more than a little bit of the precious battery of your mobile..."
Part 2 - Suggested
"You're probably wondering how much battery this app will consume. Don't worry, just a tiny bit.
Think about the time you will save after gaining all this usage intel. You won't even need as much battery anymore."
Part 2 - Motivation
Shouting "Quiet!" doesn't come across very friendly. There's also never a comma after an exclamation mark. I wrote the text to match the battery icon better. I'm also pushing the major goal of the app forward.
Part 3 - Current
"We will give you more information if you let us see how do you use the apps in your device..."
Part 3 - Suggested
"Sorry to bother you but I will need some usage access in order to provide you with all these awesome statistics. Is that okay with you?"
Part 3 - Motivation
"let us see" gives the impression multiple people or a company will be watching along, which totally isn't the case. I wrote it a bit more personal, fun and friendly.
Part 4 - Current
"Do not worry!
The data we collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Suggested
"Do not worry!
The data I collect is NOT sent anywhere."
Part 4 - Motivation
As in part 3, It's better to speak from a first person point of view, "I" instead of "we". It's just the app and the user, "you and me", which is a more comforting thought.
Instead of "START APP" I'd use something more vivid like "Lets go!" or "Show me some numbers!" or "Start saving time!"
The UDPA looks good, people are used to not reading these disclaimers and accepting them anyway. It's also a nice reminder that even if there is a "we", it's literally stating no personal data will be collected on any server. Kudos! :highfive:
I personally don't like the last paragraph but ah well, one has to make a living, right?
Looking forward to those stats...

It would also be nice to be able to monitor a remote phone (opening up the app to for parental monitoring for example).
This could be achieved by either allowing to :
- send a daily report by mail
- having a client app with data synced whenever a connection is avaialable
- sending data to a central server

Hello, thanks for app!
Any chance to remove "full network access" from permissions in future ?

Sorry, but Internet permission is needed to display Ads.
I understand that you do not believe in my word when I say that I am not sending data anywhere, but I need to access the Internet to load the Ads
Please add export data functionality! Csv format for example. Great app otherwise, thanks!
Crashing
Hi,. Unfortunately the app crashes every time I open it on my OnePlus 6 that runs Android 9. The first time run screens work fine and permissions are assigned ok but then I can't open the app. I have tried clearing the storage/cache and that hasn't helped. Any ideas what to try next please?
Hi
Assuming you're rooted, please, post a logcat or send by email.
Thanks

Hello
I've tried but no luck reproducing the issue.
If possible, enter app settings then enable debug mode then reproduce the issue then sent the log file.
If not possible, please, contact by email or PM to receive a debug version of the app to track the issue.
Thanks in advance
