When I try to use SMS Backup&Restore it tells me that there are no messages to backup. Is this an issue with the S10 and is there a fix?
Solved-Reinstall it and it works
Thanks for letting us know. I've used it for years, and it works fine on my S10 as well...

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?

The only way to get it is by contact your service provider if you don't ever use any sms backup app.
well new phone, same issue, how to transfer SMS/MMS with media and group messages intact
i was really hoping that the new automated lollipop transfer would take care of these things, but I guess not as call logs and SMS/MMS were not carried over at all
tried helium but still only does SMS, apparently SMS backup and restore still fails to keep group messages intact
TiBu (titanium backup) with the xml backup option was the only method that worked properly from my s4 to my nexus 5, and it seems to still be the only proper solution again here
- TiBu MMS transfer works perfectly on lollipop as far as i can tell
- would be nice to have a reliable option that does not require root access, but that does not seem to be the case
Are there any other working options?
Still works perfectly: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore&hl=en
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

Hi,
I've recently installed Android Messages on my Redmi 4X (running MIUI 9.2.3.0), but none of my previous messages appear. The messaging functionality works fine (I can send and receive messages fine), so it's not a permission issue.
All my messages appear in the default messenger app and Textra (which is what I was previously using) so I was wondering if there is some sort of import process I am not aware of for Android Messages.
I have also tried backing up and restoring all my messages using SMS Back Up and Restore as I saw suggested on another forum, but that hasn't worked either.
Thanks, Matt
