Hi,
I've made a back up with Titanium Backup before flashing my phone, from Handcent SMS and phone messaging. I can see the database of my messages on the back up files in Handcent SMS and all of my messages on there, but after flashing and recovering them. they didn't back anyone can help me with that?
On the other hand my Contacts backed to the phone. just the texts messages.
Thanks
Not sure if handcent has a backup feature but as far as I know titanium doesn't back up sms. I switched to gosms because you can backup and restore sms in the gosms program.

Are you sure about that?
Because I have the database and I can see the SMS's in the db but couldn't restore them.
Not 100% sure but I've backed up using tibu numerous times and never had it restore messages. try gosms you can backup from here on out

Thanks will try that for next time!
Any other suggestions guys? as need some of the text messages!
you could also use sms backup + from the market and it will backup all of your messages to Gmail and still use Handcent. Just another suggestion.

SMS backup is my presonal savior never fails... just backup your sd to a computer before wiping just incase

still get the same problem, cant even restore them after i revert back to old rom..
I've used SMS backup + to do this a few times. But it syncs SMS to gmail so you'll need a gmail account.

Yes, it's possible to restore them from gmail. I've done it a few times. It will also do the call log if you want. I suggest you play with the settings a bit though before starting the backup. I normally add the sender's number to what's backed up (default is just name).
Thanks a lot
Hi!
Update: Issue is resolved! I used the pre cm7 nandroid backup to export my messages to myphoneexplorer, then reapplied cm7 the same way and imported from mpe.
I recently upgraded from miui-ger_MILESTONE_2.4.6 to CM-7.2.4f (2.3.7).
Prior to the upgrade I did a comprehensive backup of my applications using Titanium Backup (v6.0.?) and I'm trying to restore that backup now. While this works for all my non-system apps, wlan, bluetooth and gmail account settings it somehow fails for SMS history:
I have an entry titled '[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.3.7' which contains all the messages in question and I can restore it's data or the app+data without any error. After several tries and reboots SMS history still remains empty. I'm sure my old texts are still there because Titanium lets me export data from the backup to a csv file.
Any idea what is going on or what I should try to troubleshoot this would be much appreciated!
Hi all. I just flushed the new Revolution HD rom to get 4.3 but having problems to restore my backups from Titanium. I read a lot about Titanium so decided to backup my stuff with it to restore later but now when I try to restore my contacts I get the "com.android.phone has stopped". I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Do i need to restore data only or app + data? I seem to have trouble with SMS restore as well. Any other way I can use the Titanium files to restore my contacts? Thanks for the help.
Have you backupped also the system apps with titanium and no you want to restore all?
If yes is this the problem.
You have to backup only the data or the apps that aren't in system folder

Well my initial backup I just did a batch backup of everything on the phone so yea I have system and data. Now what I'm trying to do is get my contacts from the backup. I just tried to import the data (green) of my contacts in Titanium but it didn't work. Then I re-flushed and tried to restore SMS (green) from Titanium that didn't work either (sms icon disappeared from the phone).
Now I keep reading that it's not good to use Titanium to restore system apps (sms, contacts) but is there another way to use the data saved with Titanium to restore? I just want my contacts and sms to be back. Thanks.

Your previous rom before the ARHD 4.3 was?
However, i don't know how to restore only the contacts and the sms.
Because, for backupping this, i'm using the contatcs app and the same for the sms.
So, i'm sure i have a backup of this!
For contacs, see if you've this in your google account

Ah man that sucks for me cuz I don't sync contacts with google either. I was really hoping TB will do it all for me. My previous rom was ARHD but older version with 4.2.2.
Titanium sucks, as does their support. Had same issues as you and they would not assist me at all. Good thing I had another backup using Helium.
