Titanium SMS Restore - AT&T Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I just got my Note 3 and I restored my SMS/MMS using Titanium. Currently there are duplicates of my previously sent messages in some threads that have the pending circle like they are trying to send. Has anyone else seen this happen before? Any advice on how to get rid of them without manually deleting them all?

Delete it and restore them using the snapshot..if that doesn't work try the XML

If you are still having problems try https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore You can backup and restore and it will ask you if you want to delete duplicates. I always use this app when factory resetting or whatnot.

That is OK if you only what to restore text. It claims to back MMS but it doesn't or I must of done something wrong. So far I have used Kies to backup and restore. I haven't tried titanium back yet.

Restoring my new droid 3

I just got the the phone for my mom and within seconds had root. Installed titianium backup and started to remove Bell/Moto bloat and in that process I deleted google com file in stead of the gmail app. Now the phone still works and I restored to factory which resolved some fc issues but the "text messaging" app still fc's I also removed the "messaging" app which I think is causing the fc for the text messaging app but when I try to restore it from titanium it gets stuck at restoring and never actually restores.
I'm thinking of just reflashing the firmware again and start over do to my stupidity but never owned moto devices so please guide tell me where I can get the stock bell firmware and how to flash it.
Also will I loose root?

I'd just reflash another ROM and be done with it. Not sure why you're manually removing apps, most roms are de-bloated.
edit: you're on XT860??
Yes xt860

Missing people

A while back after a rom or two always using Titanium backup a number of contacts disappeared. I had flashed a few rom and all contacts always saved the titanium. Then after another flash many were missing and would not or could not restore. Even downloading contact apps that revealed missing contacts did not show all I uses to have. I believe this was when I went from Fasty to either rc2.1 ics, cm7, or another gb rom. Any ideas?

I've found its more reliable to use google contacts and just sync after a flash. As for recovering the ones lost, probably no hope unless you made a Nandroid of the last ROM you remember having all of them.

I just go into contacts and click menu and restore/backup then I click backup to storage, then when I want them back I click restore from storage and its finds the file for you

That is another way to back up contacts. However, if that backup were not performed before flashing a wipe ROM, it goes back to not being able to recover lost contacts.
(true life story)
I once had flash party with other junkies like me. Suddenly, people got missing!!!
But, luckily, nobody noticed it and the party went on!

[Q] Titanium Backup won't Restore Now (UPDATED - PLEASE HELP)

I have a rooted HTC One with:
Android Revolution HD 20.2 by mike1986
Version 4.3
HTC Sense 5.0
Kernel: 3.4.10-geee1312
Build #: 3.09.401.1
I resolved my issue with not being able to backup. I found the legacy folder. I've since reflashed my ROM.
However, now my "restore" is stuck at 0%. It's been like this for 10 minutes. Whats going on?
NEW ISSUE: Now I can't restore. I've fixed my backup and reflashed my ROM. Now my apps won't restore back... Please help!
Same issues. Have no resolution from developer. Hate the app and it's support and don't use it anymore. Anytime I restored settings it soft bricked my phone. I use Helium now and certainly won't recommend TiBu. Glad I had 3 backups with 3 apps and put them all to the test.

Did you guys backupped also the system app?
If yes it's this the problem.
Titanium working fine here, never had an issue
Backed up everything in batch. Restored using ever possible combination of the app and data or just getting a new app and restoring data. Soft brick every time by trying to get back anything attempted. My 2 other apps restored perfectly every single time. Developer ignored me-certainly won't recommend.

It's normal if you're trying to restore a system app.
And the batch will backup all...
Is this the prob
It's advised to backup and restore only the data of the system app

Yes, did just the data on the restore as well as app+data - had the same results with restoring apps that weren't system related as well. Just a pain that I don't have to deal with, with other backup applications. TiBu has just not been great for me at all.

Can I use titanium backup to get rid if all this at&t bloat.

What the title says. I just want to get rid of all the at&t apps with titanium backup. Is this ok? I'm on ST and don't need or want any of them. Thanks

yes - suggest you "freeze" them rather than delete
Yes you can
Freezing them is giod than instead of deleting or removing it
tapped from DNA
Freezing is the best option. Its hard to bring it back to stock if you delete them.
Thanks everyone. Super fast responses!

What if you have already deleted a bunch and froze others? Can you Factory Reset and go into stock recovery and wipe?
Would this put everything I deleted back or am I SOL?

Factory Data Reset does not restore deleted system apps. Until an odin/oneclick is released for MJ5, your best hope is getting the apks from a phone that is on MJ5. I'd hook you up but I'm happily rooted on MI9.
Is there a list somewhere of apps that are safe to freeze?????
did got you ? :/

I believe if you backup the apps' data along with the app, your emails should have no problem being restored.
I only backup apps and data
Did anyone get Titanium 6.2.0 Test 6 to work on N4? I am rooted.
Somehow when I restore a app+data, it just sit there forever.

Its not an issue with the n4, it's titaniums issue, it's happened me to me on the s2,3,4 and n4, the app on titanium freezes while restoring, don't restore it the next time u try to restore your apps, chances are, it retired but the app didn't processed it or its buggy

I see. So it doesnt work. Then what other software can I use to freeze, freeze and restore?
When an app hangs in titanium upon restore, go to the play store and manually install the app. Restore should resume.

Did anyone successfully back up and restore an app using the latest Titanium?
I am able to backup and restore these app with no problems : Whatsapp, Viber, Wechat
I did have some luck backup and restore my SMS, but I get some weird msg about "changing your default messaging from Messages to <app name>. I think its because the SMS is seen by Google and Samsung app and only one can be the default? I am not sure on this so I didnt restore. I use SMS Backup app and Titanium and both give me similiar messages. If you know something, do let us know.
