Description
A simple App to Backup and Restore SMS Messages. This is a Paid No-Ads version of the Ad-Supported Free App.Note: On newer phones with inbuilt storage the default backup location will probably be the internal storage card and not the external. This is because the phone reports the storage that way. If you intend to do a factory reset on the phone, please make sure you save/email a copy of the backup outside the phone before doing the reset.
* Automatic Scheduled Backups.
* View Backup Contents.
* Backups created in XML Format on the SD Card.
* Option to backup selected conversations only.
* MMS not supported yet.
* FAQs at http://bit.ly/d9t7Jk
This App needs the following permissions to work:
* Storage - modify/delete SD card contents (android.permission.WRITE_EXTERNAL_STORAGE): To create the xml file on the SD card.
* Your messages - edit SMS or MMS, read SMS or MMS (android.permission.READ_SMS, android.permission.WRITE_SMS): Needed to read SMS during backups and write them during restore.
* Your personal information - read contact data (android.permission.READ_CONTACTS): To display and store the contact names in the backup file.
* System tools - prevent phone from sleeping (android.permission.WAKE_LOCK): To prevent the phone from going to sleep/suspended state while a backup or restore operation is in progress.

Fit for purpose Good but lacks Google Drive and Windows Skydive support. Updates too frequently.

Does what it says This app backs up and restores texts one by one, then updates the conversation threads. While I certainly believe that this is a more robust way of going about it, the restores take infinitely long especially since I now have just under 19000 texts. Surely there is a better way of going about this? Titanium Backup backs up and restores the entire database in one go so it's much faster but is not compatible from ROM to ROM. The dev should try to find another way to speed up the process or at least alert us.
