Hi All
Its me again, I seem to have a problem with my messages, I had an issue yesterday which is now fixed, but however during that process i lost three days worth of messages,
The process involved me using titanium backup to restore all system files.
just wondering if anyone knew if there is a way i could possibly get these back?
Steve
The only way to get it is by contact your service provider if you don't ever use any sms backup app.

Whenever I backup my texts and restore them after flashing a new ROM, I seem to have an issue where my texts aren't restored in the order that I received them. This makes things troublesome as they are no longer in conversation form. Is there anyway to fix this issue? Thanks.

Hi,
I recently bought Galaxy SIII LTE and I have been using SMSBackupRestore for a long time in my old Desire;
When I was recovering all my old sms from my Desire to my SIII some sms threads were duplicated even triplicated after restore i.e. some of the messages were in one thread, others in another even though all sms were from/to the same number;
Has any one else have encountered the same problem and knows an application/Workaround in order to restore all SMS correctly?
Thanks
I had a similar issue when I moved from my Sensation to the 9300.
Cannot remember exactly what I did but I have a feeling it was deleting all messages (Clear Messaging Data) on the phone then restoring.
However I use SMSBackup+ so my solution may not work although we are talking a similar principal.
SMSBackup+ actually backs up to your Google Account so you can even see your Messages there. After trying several different apps I found this one to be the most reliable.
EDIT: Guess if you still have the Desire and the messages are all ok there then use SMSBackup+ to backup to your goolgle account then restore on the 9305. It is pretty slow to restore but not had any duplications since my initial issue which may have just been a glitch.

Thanks for your repply I will try your approach today
Hi guys,
I am trying to restore my texts from my N5 to N6 and they restore fine but the timestamp for the received texts are all wrong, hence texts all over the place.
I have tried everything I know to fix this but nothing works, I have even tried to backup texts I received today and enabled the timezone options in the menu from the SMS Backup & Restore app but still does not work. It is reading today's received texts as yesterday. My sent texts are fine.
Anyone else had an issue like this?
Thanks

I would try the Go SMS app to backup and restore your texts. I did this a while back on a different phone, and recall the phone apply a "time fix" after restoring the messages to make sure the times were correct. You can install Go SMS on your N5, do a backup, put the backup file on google drive, Dropbox, etc. Install Go SMS on N6, download the backup file, and restore it in the Go SMS app. Once restored, proceed to use any messaging app you like, and uninstall Go SMS.
OK. Will try that on Monday as a friend is borrowing my N5 this weekend
Navigate to /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases where you'll find mmssms.db. Copy this over from your old phone to your new in in the same location and fix permissions so that both the owner and group have read/write permissions.
I've been using this method since Gingerbread and it's worked on every version of android since then.
You can also take telephony.db to transfer your call logs and blacklist.db for any blacklisted numbers.
Hope this helps.
You could always use titanium backup. Works for me

To anyone who has any ideas that might fix this situation:
I updated my wife's AT&T Galaxy S5 to the Marshmallow latest OTA, and the phone decided to do an entire new reset (which has never occurred before when updating). We lost all of the data on the phone. And I understand that you can't just miraculously recover data from nowhere. But we found that her texts were somewhat recoverable from AT&T Messages, despite the fact she's always used the Stock SMS app.
The problem I'm having now is: how do I get the texts that are in the AT&T Messages app to transfer/show up in the Stock SMS App.
Any and all help is most thoroughly and most gratefully appreciated.
Im not sure if it will work, but maybe try to do a backup and restore with the samsung tool on your PC? Or i have used "sms backup and restore" app to back up and restore them when I was a flashaholic. not sure if it will pull from the att messaging app, but maybe if it is the current default messaing app and you run that, it might pull them into an xml file so you can then import them back in with the same tool.
Mine did that. The sync with server option was grayed out for a few days. After about a week when I was on wifi, they just popped up.
So today I made a factory reset in order to solve some excessive battery draining that I had the last few weeks.
As always, I have I made sure to make a thorough backup to all my accounts and I also used the HiSuite to make a backup on my pc, HOWEVER, after I restored my backups and apps, I noticed that all my sms are missing besides some 5 sms of today and maybe 5 sms from 2013!
I tried to delete messages app data and restore them but no luck. I also tried to restore them from HiSuite and although it says restore complete I am still missing the sms. Finally I tried to restore them from an older huawei cloud backup (I suppose it also stores the sms) and but again nothing!
Can someone please guide me? how can I access my Google account sms backup and restore the last sms backup?
Tks in advance,
Thanos

I think there is a bug in the app. When I restored my messages a lot of them got stored in a conversation with "unknown number".
Yes, I also some of mine were registered as unknown number indeed.
There must be a way to recover the sms though, but what is it...

Honestly I didn't really dig deeper into it because I don't care much about text messages. Maybe transferring to another app with a backup tool and then back can solve the issue?
