Im trying to back up my viber messages
I have htc desire x
i go into viber > settings > calls and messages > email message history and start creating the backup file.
it loads for a while and then exits the loading symbol (if you get what i mean) and just leaves me on the calls and messages page
i have 2 conversations, one is where ive been regularly deleting the messages and the 2nd is a conversation ive kept for months (maybe around 5 months) it has so many messages.
the first conversation backs up and emails fine but the second just wont backup and email.
im wondering if viber has a limit of messages you can have to backup your messages?
anyone got any tips to help me backup the second conversation because the first i really dont care about i just really want to save the second conversation.
i looked on many websites and ive tried the app backup text for viber but same as emailing my message history, it only backup the smaller conversation (1st one)
please help asap!

Hi guys, I have tried looking for an answer to this question on google and on xda, but cant seem to find one. Maybe you know or have seen the answer before and can help me!
I just recently put a new rom on my phone and then used Microsoft Myphone to recover my contacts/messages/ calendar etc. It worked, except it has jumbled all the sms/text messages. The messages are not sorted within each contact by date and time received. The messages are displayed in some random way. Is there anyway to sort the messages within a conversation so that everything is sorted by time received/sent?
I really need an answer since I frequently have to go back and check messages for work and other details and it would be so much easier to find those needed messages if the conversations were sorted!
Thanks!
Love the new phone so far with one minor problem. Is there an easier way to delete text messages from the device? As it is now I have to press and hold on each message, then click on delete from the menu that pops up.
Not normally a big deal but if you get alot of sms notifications from various message boards/ texts / etc... its a royal pain to have to manually delete 20-30 messages one at a time like that.
if you go back one screen to the list of contacts instead of the list of individual messages, you can delete all messages from a single contact by long pressing.

Thats the screen I was referring to. My problem is that all of the forum notifications that I get come from a different "number" for each message/thread so they dont get threaded together. When I had my iphone 2G there was a delete all ap that cleared all of the messages at once. I loved that ap and was hoping for something similar, or another way to selected multiple messages at once (with checkboxes) then delete them as a group.
SMS backup and restore in the market for free has a delete all. Also lets you back all up to an XML file and restore, no root needed.

Hi there,
This is Viber's official rep.
I'm here to help.
Have you uninstalled/deactivated Viber lately?
Yes and I had an official reply it auto deletes the messages after a long conversation or after 14 days..

Unfortunately, Viber's chat history is automatically deleted when reinstalling/deactivating Viber. This is why we recommend our users to use Viber's backup option and export their chat history onto email, in order to have a backup of it frequently.
We apologize for any inconvenience that might have been caused.

Hi Viber,
I'm having a similar issue, me and my girlfriend can only view about 6 pages of old messages (I cannot scroll down more than 6 pages) though we have more messages than those 6 pages. My girlfriend reinstalled Viber once but as I remember, it was far before than the date showing on the oldest message (on the page 6th). Is this a limitation of Viber of maybe we have problems with our phones? Or wrong setting I dont know? We are both using Viber v2.3.2 on Sony Xperia S, android 4.0.4. Please help
Or is there anyway to auto backup our messages?
Thank you for your support.

message should store your viber server like face-book messenger
No your messages should not be stored on the server for staff to read. line messenger does the same its erased everytime a sign in occurs its called security
What are tou sending via a text based messaging system that you need to save for so long

Hey everyone,
I've wondering this for a long time and couldn't find a solution to my problem. I have samsung i780 and have upgraded it to windows mobile 6.1. It comes with the SMS displayed as a chat conversation, which is neat. I want to backup all these conversations, as they are.
When I try most SMS backup software,(like iMobile SMS backup or Godswmobile SMS transfer) they backup all the messages, but they don't save it in a conversation way. They split them into sent or received smses, and its really hard to make sense of things and its tiresome.
Is there any software that can save the entire conversation as they are displayed in wm6.1? (i.e sent-received-sent-received etc)
Or at least someone can think of in this way:
In the conversation window, I can select all, and then copy the messages to Microsoft word or Note. The problem is, it shows very few messages at a time(as the screen is small, so only like 7 or 8 are displayed at a time), and I have to keep clicking on 'Older' to go to the very first sms, which is like a 1000 click before. And its tiresome to copy/paste it in the word, and if one small error, you are pushed back to the very recent sms chat.
Cant I just access the main html/xml file on the mobile where all of this is stored? Anyone knows how to retrieve the file where all your SMS chat/conversation is saved?
Thanks
Okay, I found the software.
Jeyo Software is the one. God, I wish I had known such a software existed before. Its just beautiful.
One more thing, any idea how to restore contacts that were saved as .xml?
Thankx

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.
