Hey guys, been off and on with XDA for a while. I just bought a Note 4 today coming from a Nexus 5. Been trying to transfer/restore my SMS's via the SMS Backup+ App and my gmail account. I am positive the SMS's got backed up due to the fact they're all in my gmail account SMS section with all my recent texts. The biggest problem I'm having right now is getting the SMS/Texts to show up on the application "GO SMS Pro". I was able to see my texts for a brief few seconds before it magically disappeared with this message on my screen showing it. It says "Tip: If the messages don't display properly, maybe GOSMS been prohibited to read the messages by permissions management app, please reboot your device or modify the permission settings".
I have already rebooted the phone. Any idea what this issue is?
I had a same problem. It seams that sms backup + is not compatible with kit kat. I used easy back up

and it worked

I think it could work if you set up sms backup+ as default messaging app. Restore from gmail and change default to go sms. Kit kat allows only one app at the time to make changes to text messages. If go sms is default than sms backup + wont be able to make changes. Problem is that sms backup + is not available as a choice when I'm trying to change default messaging app. Maybe someone with knowledge can modify sms backup +.

Testing the updated sms backup+ beta from the google+ community easy to become beta tester to get it. Will let u guys know in a few hours. This new version makes itself the default sms app which should allow for a full restore

I used Samsoog Kies and it worked okay for that and a few other things.

Hello Everyone,
Does anyone know of a way to get the Captive to do a reminder that an unanswered SMS message has come in? My old phone would chime every 5 minutes until I read the message and this was kind of nice.
Thanks
check out an awesome app named handcent.
I should install that on my husband's Captivate. He NEVER checks his notifications and sometimes it goes days before he gets my texts.
Stock SMS app does not support this. Most have gone to 3rd party apps, most popular being Handcent.
Missed Reminder is a good app if you still want to use the stock SMS app.
Thank you, I'll give that a try.
handcent SMS has a option where if u didnt check the message u can set a reminder...i set mine to every 5 minutes
I use tasker and it works awesome!

That's what I use and it works great for SMS, MMS and Gmail. Only gripe is that it doesn't support regular e-mail.
I did not develop this app and offer no support for it but thought I would share. Basically what this is doing is sending any SMS/MMS messages you receive to your tablet via GMail.
APP IS INSTALLED ON YOUR PHONE.
To get the SMS/MMS messages to "Push" to your tablet:
Go into Advanced Settings > Backup Settings and change the "GMail label to assign SMS" to Inbox.
Goto Auto Backup Settings > Incoming Schedule and make sure it is set to 1 min.
Drawback:
Unable to reply to most SMS messages.
Once the message is received on the phone it takes 1-2 minutes to get the message onto the tablet via GMail.

Um...dunno how to tell you this, but the Xoom can't send or receive sms. At all.
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
Edit: Nevermind...heh.
The application is installed on your phone. The Xoom receives the SMS via email. I am fully aware that the tablet currently does not receive text messages. This is just a clever way around that.

Hi everyone, I've just uninstall go sms pro and then reinstall it. What happen to me is that all messages that I put into private box disappear. when I enter the private box, App require me to create lock, notification...anđ then "No private messages yet"
For me, they are valuable messages, how can I retrieve them?
Thanks you so so muchhhhhh..
I am sorry if this thread are posted in wrong place.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks you very much
You may want to check your stock messaging app as any messages you sent or received from GoSMS, should also show up there.

SMS backup and restore
"SMS Backup & Restore" from the play store. i made the sms backup on my S4, moved the files to my PC, then transferred them to the N5 and did the restore through the same app.
Go SMS let u backup to their cloud and restore from it too. That's what I use. No files to transfer at all.

That app failed for me. It first asked me to set it as a default and then tried but failed miserably.

Worked for me fabulously.
My SMS backup and restore said it was restoring my text and then said they were all duplicates except for one and there was only one conversation in hangouts. Tried it twice with the same result, my google account is connected to sms backup and restore but it is not restoring them to hangouts.

I've tried every app and none would restore them to Hangouts, even though they would say completed. In the end I disabled Hangouts cos it's sh*t, and installed the proper AOSP messaging app for Android 4.4 (you can install it the normal app way and it works, but it won't let you save senders numbers unless you install it yourself as a system app. Anyway, once that was installed, went into it and there were all my messages I'd restored earlier that weren't there in Hangouts. Hope this helps.
SMS backup+
SMS backup+ has worked well for me... can back it up to gmail. Saved my pants in court before.

haven't had any issues yet, slower than using stock app but still goes through for ME. Takes around 4-5 minutes to round trip send myself one and receive it.

Same here. It's pretty slow.
A good way to get any of the MMS to send almost as fast as it does in stock messaging app is to attempt to send the MMS and you can immediately make a call or AirPlane Mode or Mobile Data toggle it and then hang up or disable AirPlane Mode or Enable Mobile Data and it'll send much quicker. The phone call method only when on 3G though, not LTE
How is the interaction with google voice? I frequently dont receive messages using GV integrated on sprint.
Hangouts took control of the voicemail on my phone after I enabled SMS. Instead of getting a voicemail notification I received a text saying I had a message.

It's ok. Full integration won't be until May 2014 though.

Were you able to figure out how to disable that sms voicemail? I'd rather use the visual voicemail that came with HTC One.
No, I had to undo sms with hangouts.

I was having the same problem. Download System Panel lite from the play store. Open GV then press back. Open System Panel and tap on GV in the list then tap exclude. This will stop the service from being flushed.
The problems i have with MMS is that it has to be on 3G to send. Otherwise (if i am on 4G or Wifi) it wont send.
I currently have a mod to enable MMS on wifi with the stock app, that also takes the compression off.
Also. It wont send SMS when roaming. I need to be on sprint.
Do you guys expreience this too? Or is it just all the mods i have affecting my phone?
Not Sure But..
Theres an Stock Messaging app in the play store that does SMS over Wifi.
Its basically the CM messaging app with some extra goodies.
Its called 8SMS
id supply a link but XDA isnt letting me post a link since im new. Sigh
Hangouts is terrible with mms/ group messaging
