How to transfer sms from X1 to PC ?

Hi Guys, I am sending my X1 for repairs, I wanted to save all my data including sms onto my pc. All other data was backed up onto my outlook through sunchronisation excepts my sms.
I would really appreciate if anyone could help me how to backup my sms messages onto my PC?
Thanks

Serach Google for SmsImport. Very nice app.

You can use PIMbackup to backup ur sms to a local file.
or you can use dashwire it saves youre sms and contacr etc. online and when you get ur phone back you just install dashwire and login everything syncs back.

All of your contacts are backed up to the Google servers. If you go to your Gmail account on the internet and click contacts, you will see them all. My phone went in for repair and 5 minutes after setting up my phone all of my contacts had downloaded to my phone.

You can also use/try:

Flexilis features:
Anti-Virus
Backup (Phonebook and media)
Locate: (GPS location and "Scream" mode to locate your lost/stollen/ misplaced device)

There are two programs that perfectly worked on my htc hero: Sprite backup for android and Vcard IO. First one options for contacts, sms, app etc backup.

rippir, thanks for the info. I just got an HTC Hero 2 days ago and have been on the lookout for all the "must have" apps for it. Just downloaded Lookout (which was formerly Flexilis) and am very impressed.
Good info!

I use MyBackupPro from Rerware. It backs Data & Apps to your SD card or to their secure website. You can even schedule auto backups either daily or weekly at a specified time.
Free version for testing if you wish.
Small fee for this app if you like it. I used the free verison 2 hot minutes, fell in love and bought the Pro version.
Found in the Android Market, search for: MyBackup
You can see more infor on their site: www.rerware.com

you can backup your contacts from gmail
go to gmail -> contacts -> Export

[Q] question about maps and stared locations backup.

How do you back up stared locations in the map application? I would like to back them up before I flash to firefly!
If it does it automatically how do you check?
thanks

I would guess that it should work with Titanium Backup? Make sure you back-up and restore both the app and the data.
Otherwise, I actually think (and hope) Google would automatically save this for you on your linked Google account (gmail or whatever), but I'm not so certain about this.

[Q] Automated Backups and new machines

Hi,
in terms of backups wp8 already has a lot of backup .. skydrive.. whatever automation.
But i am wondering what would happen if i swap my phone due to "damage" for example to minimize the backup work.
On my TP3 i had spb backup that backed everything up for me. it was a joy to swap the phone.
Do i need another programm on wp8 or is everything synced in the cloud with skydrive and microsoft account?

You have to turn on backup from settings. I can vouch that backup works well as my 8X keeps breaking... And takes a long time to be fixed. Screw you HTC!
Back on topic, 4 main things are backed up
1. Text messages (REMEMBER TO TURN IT ON)
2. Apps installed on your phone (App data is NOT backed up)
3. Your accent color (Home screen layout is not backed up)
4. Settings (Except home screen layout as stated)
Everything is automated if you TURN IT ON. It is linked to your MIcrosoft account, and AFAIK does not use skydrive storage.
Did I forget to state to TURN BACKUP ON?
Text messaging backup is off by default. TURN IT ON It's a lifesaver.

Account info is backed up, but your password needs to be entered again.

best way to backup everything?

so now after my ongoing volume issue all the sudden my persistent ? Google search bar seems to partially disappear if almost totally randomly! f#(+ing annoying!!! I need to factory reset I guess.. I don't use backup to Google so cross that out. WHAT can I use to backup apps contacts pics music pics etc..? I've always had a rooted phone until now HATE IT SCREW VERIZON. THANKS GUYS

I've used Helium to back up app data and text messages. Some programs (such as whatsapp) allow you to manually save a backup to your internal storage as well. You can copy the backup to your PC with AirDroid or many other methods. You can also upload it to google drive or another cloud service.
