Hello I have one more 6 Android 9. I have clumsily deleted a conversation in textra. How is it possible to restore messages? My phone is not rooted if I root is it possible or useless that I try this opération ?
Thanks
It might be too late for the conversation you deleted, but download something like SMS Backup & Restore from the Play Store and set it to do daily backups. That way, you can always restore anything you've lost other than what's been texted since the most recent backup. If you root, you can use Titanium Backup for this, too, but it's a little more awkward and you still won't be able to rescue what you've already lost.
You could try opening the OnePlus messaging app and see if the lost conversation is somehow still visible there.
Unless if you have a backup set then it's gone. Textra and all your other SMS apps use the same messaging database so there's no way to recover it without a backup.
Thanks

I'm sick and tired of loosing my conversations whenever I want to flash a new ROM. I've heard there are ways around that, but I do not know any of them.
Try "SMS Backup & Restore" in the market. It allows you to save all your texts to your SD card and then reload them. And if you have any more questions, please direct them to the Q & A Section - this section is meant for development purposes.
Peace
I use Titanium Backup to backup my both messages and Handcent. When I restore those 2 things everything is back where I can use it for blackmail
I just wish dialer would back up too.

For dialer use Call Logs Backup & Restore, made by the same person who made the aforementioned SMS Backup & Restore.
Here is the SMS Backup/Restore - http://www.appbrain.com/app/sms-backup-restore/com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore
Call Log Backup/Restore - http://www.appbrain.com/app/call-logs-backup-restore/com.riteshsahu.CallLogBackupRestore
I have not tried call log backup, but if it's anything like SMS, then it won't disappoint

use message backup to gmail, it saves all messages to ur gmail account under text label

u should definately use titanium backup for this.
sms backup and restore is so slow if u have lots of messages as it restores 1 message at a time.
another vote for SMS Backup & Restore. I use this for my text, my apps are backed up with appbrain (and a few I keep handy with ASTRO backup), and everything else is synced in the land of google.
why not just NAND before flashing. It should save your conversations(sms)...then flash the old rom. It does like that for me.

...what? If you restore a Nandroid you lose all of your current settings/ROM.
SMS Backup+ is great as well.

I use SMS Backup to backup my txt messages to my gmail account. It seems development on this app has ended but a new developer has created an app called SMS Backup+ with the same funcationality as SMS Backup plus the ability to restore the backed up conversations to your phone (though I have not tried this). He is also working on adding the ability to back up your MMS as well.
A second option is to install the latest version of Handcent. One can now create a Handcent account (on their website for free) which allows users to back up their messages and all their Handcent settings.
I plan on rooting my t-bolt soon and flashing one of the deflated ROMs soon. What's the best method for backing up apps and settings, and should it be done prior to rooting of after rooting but prior to flashing?
Any tips/feedback are appreciated.

I dont know anything worthwhile to backup your apps, its better to have root and titanium backup.

Right, and I'm familiar with Titanium Backup, but it requires root, and the current root method wipes the phone as I understand.

I generally use SMS Backup and Restore on my phones, but this was giving me a problem on the TB. I restored about 5000 SMS messages from my OG Droid, but when on the TB it will crash it. This seems to be a problem with the messaging store, as both the stock messaging app and Handcent will crash (force close).
Anyone else having this problem?
I use Mybackup Pro to backup SMS, MMS, call logs, settings, apps, etc. It has a schedule feature so it backs up everything every night to my SD card.
I've used it to restore my sms, mms, and call logs...but havent used it to restore apps or their data. (for instance, i've never restored my angry birds scores and I dont know if its possible without root)
So take a look at that app and hopefully that might help you out.
Oh, and to better answer your question, I use Titanium backup to backup all of my apps and data. Unfortunately, you will have to be rooted for it to work.

+1 for MyBackup Pro. You need root to restore app data and market links. First thing I did after I rooted was restore my Angry Birds backup from my Fascinate. lol

So, does Mybackup Pro do the same thing as Titanium Backup? Or do you use Titanium Backup as well?
I'm thinking of rooting soon, so I figured if its the same thing as Titanium Backup, i wont have to pay for a new app.
basically. It allows you to back up and restore apps, app data and market links. You can also back up call logs, sms, mms, calendar, contacts, alarms and some other miscellaneous things along with scheduled backups. I just find the interface to be much more user friendly than when I was playing around with Titanium Backup.

They basically do the same thing. Titanium backup does take a little getting used to, as the interface isn't very intuitive. Once you get used to it, you should have no problems.
Either one is good.
I looked up MyBackup on the Market and I see it'll back up apps but root is needed for app-data backups. Am I SOL for backing that up before rooting? I wonder if a non-wiping root method is forthcoming...

I got a ton of text messages saved on my phone, if I use titanium backup, and restore everything after doing my first root job on this phone from a stock rogers, would the messages get restored too?
Thanks

As far as I know, rooting doesn't change anything in the phone other than giving it root permissions. You can do the Titanium Backup (as it's always a good thing to do), but you shouldn't need to use it as part of the rooting process. Your text messages should be fine.
sorry I meant rooting it and flashing it with a new rom
Ahh. I honestly couldn't say - I use Google Voice for text messaging, so I've never had to go through the process with the normal text messaging app. Maybe someone else can chime in with information to help you.
the texts will be erased. they are considred system data and tibu has issues with restoring system data. i personally don't use it but i've heard SMS backup works well, you can nab it from the market.
I've never tried text messages with Titanium. I do know that My Backup Root (in the market) works very well in text messages. And it's free, just be sure to rate it5 stars.
Go to the android market and type in SMS Backup. It's really easy to do a simple search and find what you're looking for.
SMS backup will save your sms files and when you flash a new rom, simply download that application again and "restore" them using the file saved on your phone.
Hi,
If installing a new rom wipes all data, when will we have a backup apps like the titanium Backup for Android????
Windows sinc is cool to restore the contacts but doesn't restore emails and apps
Emails should generally be left on the server (by default the phone only caches them for a few weeks anyhow) but yes, the app data is an issue. There's supposedly a good backup app coming, but I've yet to see it in any way other than a teaser screenshot so I can't tell you how close it is to readiness. There are other backup options, but (while I've never used Titanium Backup and therefore can't compare it) none of the currently-published ones are *really* easy.

where did you see the screenshot???
having done this exercise recently let me tell you of my experience:
1. i had a a backup in zune, incase i wanted to return
2. switched to Tango based rom, used SMSbackup to restore. Though it restored the text messages it kinda screws up the contact list and e-mail accounts. Currently, not stable and fixed. Known issue.
3. Zune backup restore didn't happen, got 801812E0 error and got screwed
4. Though you will lose your saved games, achievements will be there. You can look into using WP7 root data and use it to backup data. I had backed whatsapp messages through this method.
Moved To WP7 Q&A
Please do not post questions in the development section

Is SMSBackup a built-in app for the computer, the phone or does it have to be downloaded from the Marketplace? I really want to be able to backup my SMS messages.
Yeah, I just installed a custom rom and I was under the impression that Zune does a backup and when you re-connect, it will restore at least some things. hahaha. No way. Then I found out that the restore will only restore your phone after it does a software update through Zune. I am used to WebOS, which was great in restoring almost everything over the air.
Hope we get a good backup soon.
But, does anyone know if there is a place on the local computer that would have at least the Internet shortcuts from WP? I looked under some of the Zune folders but didn't see anything.
I have a lot of SMS that I have from running CM12 with the bundled SMS/MMS app, but now I want to use another rom and that thing comes with the google Messenger app. So does anyone know how to tranfser sms from one app to another, I can get the .db file from SMS/MMS but I don't know how I should go about importing it to messenger. Also I tried titanium backup but trying to restore the App + data just says restore and it never finishes restoring.
I've tried a google search, but there isn't very much to find. I guess people aren't as sentimental as I

The TiBu restore takes quite a long time. You need to set TiBu as your Messaging app (it should ask you to do this), otherwise you will keep getting pop-ups.
There is also an app called SMS Backup & Restore, which I have used several times to copy SMS/MMS from phone to phone.

Apps themselfs has nothing to do with SMS/MMS storage. They just read them and show them up to you. If you are using TB, then backup in xml format, because if you do in regullary way you will have some force closes. Or you just use SMS Backup and Restore app from Play store.
EDIT: If you restore app + data you won't get your SMS back, because they are store somewhere else. Actually, when you restore an app, you will get just the app itself and settings off it. Also TB can't restore system app yet in Lollipop.

SMS Backup and Restore did not do MMS (group/picture messages) the last time I looked. TiBu does this nicely, MMS too, though it does take a long time as others stated above.
SMS Backup & Restore does MMS messages if you check that option in the settings.
