I got a virus on my phone and I need to back up text messages. The cloud wont let me. Does anyone know what else I can try?
Play store search SMS Backup, I would get one that sends them to gmail.

Hi i been using Mango for some time, recently realise one of my friend in my contact list when he try to message me on messenger it will his email address instead of his name. when i tap the email address it will prompt his name and account, only happen to him, my other friend who message me using live not having this issue, i try resync restart my phone still the same. On my Live account it show his chat name and seem fine. i wonder how can i make his name show on the phone. I notice his messaging option is only Facebook + SMS no messenger anyway to add it in? i link all his account together but still not working, very frustrating...
Hope someone can shed some light
I've got the exact same problem with like 4/5 of my Messenger contacts.
I did make a thread about a week ago but still haven't found a fix for this yet.
After reset to factory and restore the contact all works... FINALLY
What does the factory reset delete?

except your calendar and contacts are synced to the cloud and music, pictures, videos, and apps can be restored through ZUNE. You do lose game saves

When you say, restored through Zune, do you mean like downloading the App's manually, or Restoring the device?
It's just download and install some of your previous app (that were installed on your phone before you made restore).

yes, music, pictures & videos have to be re-synced. Apps have to be reinstalled. As I stated, you will lose game saves and any other app specific files and save states
if you have a backup, you lose nothing, restore the backup and everything is exactly as it was when backed up. Apps, game saves, SMS, etc...
I'm rooted using synergy. was trying to freeze some applications to help with battery life. I use yahoo as my default email. My buddy uses gmail and froze backup assist plus with titanium and all was fine and helped his battery a good bit. I did the same and I couldn't receive any emails, though i could sent. Is there a reason backup assist plus being shut off would have an effect on my email receiving?
I don't know if this would help but before you freeze/disable Backup Assistant Plus go into your MyVerizon account and disable it for both SMS and emails. Go into My Verizon->Manage Account->Change Features and remove them both. Then go ahead and freeze/disable and see if that helps. I had a problem with receiving texts from Verizon and once I disable BA+ it stopped.
Not sure if this will work for you but it is worth a shot!

I don't understand where there would be SMS and emails under MyVerizon - the only Manage Account link is under the phone for plan items, not features within the phone itself. Might you offer a link or screenshot, please?

Hi
I have searched through the forum and seen how to use SMS Backup & Restore to move SMS from old device to new Nexus 5. I have managed this successfully and can see the restored SMS's in Hangouts. However I prefer to use Textra for SMS and I cannot see the restored texts in this app. Does any one have any ideas why this would be?
Thanks

Did you download Textra first, run it, and then import your messages?
You have to import first, then run Textra for the first time. So uninstall it, reinstall, and your messages should show.

Hi,
soon my email address I have in my Google account will be deleted. Since I can't do anything about that it means I will lose all my apps. Luckily I haven't paid much for them (~10€) but it's still bothersome to redownload and reconfigure all my apps.
Is there a way to transfer my app data? Maybe with Titanium Backup? I really don't want to lose all my app data.
Thanks.
hey guys, so a week ago, my instagram account got disabled for no reason. everytime i try log in then it says "your account has been disabled for violating our terms". and this is bull****. i never violate any terms at all.
so i emailed instagram about this and yea they replied, but they dont do **** to help me, they just told me to go to help center but theres never an answer there.
but then, i tried to log in to my account using the instagram app using my dads phone, i can logged in no problem, then i tried my friends phone, i can logged in too. i tried to log in using the web, yes i could logged in too. so i search on google, instagram actually disabled your device from ever logging to their client. idk wtf that means. they trace our device by imei or some **** idk.
so i tried the xprivacy method from xposed(yes my s6 is rooted)but it still doesnt worked, i still cant log in to my account using my phone.
so i have a final solution. im gonna root my friends phone, then im gonna try to log in to my account using my friends rooted phone, then backup the app instagram using titanium backup, then send the backup to my s6, then restore the app and app data back to my phone. after i restored the app and open the app, will my account still logged in from my friends phone earlier?
any titanium backup experts here? i just want to make sure of this because so that i rooted my friends phone worth it. so please answer this.
thanks in advance xda.
The account will stay logged into your friends phone until you log out of it. But doing titanium backup the data is backed up so you'll be logged in when you restore the backup on your phone. Of course this is all in theory.
The only issue I see is that you have different devices most likely and different android versions, so usually it's not good to restore different data.
