Is anyone else unable to use this on the latest couple of CM builds?
It seems to always force close on me, going to try to get a log and maybe pass it on to the developer of the backup application...
One of my main reasons for not switching builds is because the lack of being able to backup and restore my sms.
I use sms backup and restore.
Works great.
Really great.
5,000 texts backed up to my sd card.
When I want to backup more sms they add to the data file or making more files in the folder.
and I've restored all my texts to three different builds now.
Last back up I did was on a new Dwang build, and for 4k and some odd hundred texts took about 34 minutes to restore in my inbox but it did perfectly.
the author of sms backup is aware of the issue. he's working on it.

Oh sweet, that's excellent - thanks for the heads up. : )
I'm looking into it as well. I'm not sure what broke it yet.
Just found the issue #50 in the google code page. Looking forward to seeing it fixed, one of the most useful (even if never used) features.
Being able to do a quick Google search on your sms messages is phenomenal. = )
I was having the same issue so I was about to contact with the dev but checked here first. Thanks for the advise!
The developer does not run CM, and as such is having a hard time replicating the problem, or getting enough information to figure out how to fix it.
SMSBackup is a must for me, as much as I text. When it broke, I started looking for alternatives.
XArchive is a similar app (based on the same source originally, I think), and it works fine on the latest CM builds. It's a pay app, but it works, so I bought it. No problems. I just couldn't wait for the free app to be fixed.
there is small fix here, works for me:
http://code.google.com/p/android-sms/issues/detail?id=50
An update was pushed today and the issue is now fixed! All is right with the world again!
Did everyone get up and running again with the latest update (1.1.1)? Because I'm still getting FCs, on 4.2.7.1 and 4.2.8, despite uninstalls and a wipe of the phone before 4.2.7.1.
Seriously bummed here, that's one of my favorite apps...
Ugh - of all the things I tried, I missed the most obvious... The folder name is case sensitive. D'oh!
I have a rooted sprint hero running aosp mod (latest stable, not gingerbread - don't remember the version number). Up until Sunday everything was working fine. Sunday evening I noticed that I hadn't gotten any texts all day (highly unusual). Started to text my fiancée, didn't recieve a response. Called her a couple hours later, she said she'd recieved them and replied. I figured it was a sprint issue and would pass by the next day. Next day, still nothing. Stood next to a friend of mine, had him text me, nothing. Sent him a text and he received it almost instantly. As of today I still can't recieve texts, though everything else works just fine. Is this a simple software issue on my end that can be fixed by reflashing my rom? Or is it something more serious that I need to see a sprinnt Rep for? Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I saw a guy have this issue with cyanogenmod. He ended up flashing a different rom and all his texts came through at once then. He was using the nightly releases, so I think he just waited until the next nightly came out. You might should just reflash and see if that helps.
This is a common issue. Usually it is due to deleting the stock messaging app because you have handcent or chomp, but those apps pull the info from the stock sms app, so if you deleted it, reinstall it. The other cause is just a known bug in froyo, and though I have never had the issue, many many others have been able to fix it by going into recovery, nandroiding your current setup, wipe EVERYTHING, flash a sense rom, go into settings and update your profile and PRL, then open texts up (you should get a bunch), then going back into recovery, wipe everything again, and restore your nand. Hope this fixes it, good luck.
Sounds good, I'll give it a shot when I get off work. Does it matter what sense rom I flash? More specifically, can I just use an ruu from HTC.com or will I lose my root?

RUU takes longer. also, dpending on how you rooted you will probably lose root. just run ANY sense based rom (custom too), fresh,NFX,liquid, whatever, it'll only take like 5-10 minutes. Also, just a hint, make a nand of the sense rom before you go back to your current one, that way you can update your profile/PRL whenever you want. I keep a sense NFX rom in my nand folder for just that.
Or you can wait till I release an updated dualboot script and have both easily accessible. Should be released this week.
Oh, and like some others said, its a problem with froyo and some phones. You might look in the froyo sense thread and try the fix listed in the first post.

Can you tell us the specifics of what it will do?
I'll post a link later. I'm still adding to it, but plan on releasing it Friday.

You're awesome. Followed your advice, worked perfectly.
However, I'm now having a separate issue (I assume). All physical keys work fine, with the exception of my home key which does absolutely nothing once the phone boots. Is this a related issue? Did I screw up somewhere along the line?

I have heard of this as well. Can't remember the fix, but it sounds rom related. The home key action is in /system/usr/keylayout/heroc-keypad.kl you can also check there? You could try to re-restore the nand again - wipe ALL first. Also, I know most launchers have home key options, make sure those settings look normal. Also maybe go into your launcher app in settings/apps/manage apps and clear the defaults for it, then see if home does anything. IF that doesn't work search for member "appleflap" on xda, he made a hardkey remapper that you can fix/change the function of the home key.
Reflashed the current nand to no avail. Flashed a clean install of aosp, works fine. I can deal with the loss of my settings, I suppose.
Thanks for all of your help, bud.

I am actually having a similar issue, but I am periodically not able to send texts. Receive just fine, but some texts fail over and over.
I am running CM 6.1 stable, and using the default text app. Anyone had this issue?
Sorry about the bump, but I did not feel it necessary to create a new thread after I found this one.
Edit: I totally also recognize this could be something to do with the sprint network as well
Hey guys, i have a pretty serious problem with SMS messaging. It seems like my Milestone refuses to receive SMS messages. I've been using FroyoMOD and now i have Cyanogen 7 RC3 from kabaldan. With both of them i've experienced this issue. And it's always the same.. after like a month or so from when i flash the ROM..it's happening again. It's really annoying and people are yelling at me for ignoring them So, if anybody knows what's the deal or has experienced the same issue.. i'll be more than glad if you had any suggestions. For now i pretty much think it might be something like kernel-related or whatever.. i don't really know
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english.
install advanced task killer, open the sms app, go to advance task killer and uncheck the sms app...with this setting you can receive sms...
forgot to mention that i use handcent or chomp sms..not the stock app. that also might be the problem. i tried rebooting and i don't think i have any task killer that kills my sms app. unless the task killer is integrated w/ the ROM. Anyway, gonna try this.
Got the same problem here and it's driving me crazy.
I've taken a look at the log and you can clearly see the sms arriving, because android is starting the sms app. But it get's killed before it can safe the sms. I believe it's due to a memory shortage. I've tried several different memory management settings and also tried to fix the sms app in memory by adjusting the oom_adj value (see thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1012330)
But nothing realy helped for long. I still loose many SMS also Whatsapp mostly does not notify me about new messages. Push mail works most of the times. Gtalk notifications I'd say work only in 50% of all cases. I'll probably downgrade to CM6. The milestone simply has not enough memory for Gingerbread.
Is your data memory low?
there is a bug when getting lower than ~20mb of free memory,
(last time I ran in that problem was in 2.1, so i'm not sure if releavent to 2.2 and up)
Yes, it's quite low and can possibly be below 20mb at some times. When I look at it it's usually around 30 Mb. I can get more free memory by adjusting the memory manager settings, but that only means it kills background apps even more agressively, or so I understand it.

Handcent seems impossible to run even on stock telus froyo http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=12675946&postcount=13
I'm going to reinstall it and test with minfree values of 6, 8, 26, 16, 16, 32.
Hancent is always in the 4th or 5th slot so maybe that will work.
well i just flashed latest MIUI, sent sms to my number and received it.. i think i had SuperCharged minfree from you zeppelinrox. well i guess it's always the same: i flash new ROM, it works and after some time it stops. what the hell.. the thing is i never used stock messaging app, that might be the cause.
I use supercharge script with aggressive 2...moreover i use advance task killer...i didn't lose any sms...before that sometimes I didnt receive any sms...you have to unselect your app for sms(stock one, handcent, chompsms)...I use stock sms app and everything is working...
Its seems you'be got me wrong, I mean applications data memory, not device ram.

You're right. I got you wrong. I've got plenty of application memory. I've had low applications data memory a few month ago and it took me days to realize taht this causes the phone not to receive any sms. But as soon as you free up memory all SMS seem to be coming through.

by the way, What do you mean by "I've taken a look at the log"?
by the way, just got another problem... seems like everytime i flash MIUI ROM (and maybe any other ROM, idk) and recover my messages from backup with SMS Backup & Restore, the phone sends out by itself like 5 messages always to the same people. It happened like 3 times so far.. and it's pretty much possible that i flashed it 3 times.. but i think that might be more like the sms backup-related issue. The 5 msgs seem to have something like hasn't-been-sent-yet flag or whatever.. seriously, i just feel like throwing the phone out the window right now.
Maybe it's application issue?
I've been using "SMS Backup+" for long awhile (probably since november when I first flashed MIUI)
and never ran into problem.

Is used the Debuger from the Android SDK. When you connect your phone to the computer you can log almost everything with it in realtime.
Btw. I've just migrated to MIUI to try if SMS arrive here more reliably. But I'm not yet sure I like the user interface. It's rather different from CM7.

Thanks man!
you've just open a whole world for me..
is it done through adb?
yo can give me reference, that I can search about? thanks.

You need to install the Android SDK from Google. Since you know adb I guess you allready have it. In the SDK there's a file called ddms.bat. That starts the debugger.
Same stuff here...
I´ve had similar issues relating the sms thingy. I´m going to try that app killer thing to see how it goes.

Hope someone figures out a way out of this.
Thanks.

well i have an observation. after i stopped using all sms backup apps, the problem is gone. and by sms backup app i mean those that backup to gmail, not to sdcard. if you have an app that checks for new sms's and automatically backes them up, then get rid of it.. if you need an one time backup, use SMS Backup & Restore.
like i said, getting rid of automatic sms backup apps did the trick for me.
So ive flashed Clean rom and have noticed that people tell me they sent me pictures but I am not receiving them. is there something I can do to fix it? if not I might go back to stock, because some of these pictures were highly important!
Any ideas anyone?

Group messaging, if not enabled in your Messaging App Settings will prevent them from downloading.
Set it up and see if that helps.
If it's ALL MMS messages, I'm not sure I have a suggestion.
EDIT:
And I guess to add, on custom ROMs with different devices I've used in the past, MMS messaging has always seemed to be one of those things that has big issues. In fact, I lived without getting pics for a long time on my old phone. What are you running? You can scour its XDA thread for "MMS" -- bet you'll find something if there's an issue.
Hello everyone. Been awhile since I posted. After having the LG G4 for awhile I decided to get a Galaxy S6. Love it for the most part, except for one small thing. And that is that Samsung seems to have removed the simple option in the stock email app to choose where to go after deleting an email. You use to be able to choose between next email, or back to list. Well that option is completely gone. And I always have my phones set up to just go to the next email once I click delete.
My question is this. Is there anyway to get the stock email app to do this? Through root, or some other tweak or mod? I know I can just download a totally different email app, but before doing that I wanted to see if anyone found any other way to do this? Or has anyone even noticed this? Thanks
