General :: Quickly Restoring SMS From 2.3.5 Android Phone
Jan 10, 2013
I am trying to transfer about 14,000 SMS from an unrooted 2.3.5 Android to a rooted 4.2.1 Android phone.
MyBackup Pro backs them up quickly, but restores them at a rate of less than 1/second. Thus, I have been looking for another tool to back up with:
1. Titanium Backup: no, as the 2.3.5 phone is unrooted;
2. new Windows-based Ultimate Backup Tool: no, as it requires Android 4.0 or greater.
Any recommendations, other than running the restore tool all night? A tool that allowed me to back the SMS up in chronological blocks could be very useful.

I have an LG Optimus One. I've bought an HTC Sensation and want all my apps on the new phone with data. I was wondering if it is dangerous to restore just data on my Sensation from a CWM Backup made on my LG. Or do I need to use Titanium Backup for this job?

I used to have a HTC Desire HD. On that was a brilliant ROM, spent ages on it and it had LOTS of data and apps. One time I backed it up through Clockworkmod and a few days later it bricked. I managed to breath life into it but I couldn't restore that file because I moved it to my PC and so much time had passed that I couldn't find it. Recently I found the backup and saw the apps and app data was still inside (opened using winrar).
Is there any way I can move this app data and the apps to my Galaxy Note 2? I had a Titanium backup but it was on my phone memory which got wiped, the SD card was untouched. If there's an incompatibility between HTC and Samsung recovery backups could I use my dad's HTC Wildfire to put the app data on then Titanium backup and move the apps and app data over?

I have been messing around with some ROMs on my Droid1, every time I flash a new rom it auto restores my apps. It hasn't done this at all until today. I have tried disabling it in my settings but it still doesn't stop. Also when I go into the downloads page in the market to cancel them, I can some of them but when I try to cancel the others if causes the market to force close. I would like to know if there is anyway to stop google from auto downloading them when I sign in? When I turned off the backup it said it would delete the info from googles servers, but it obviously has not lol because I have tried flashing the rom over again since then. I know most people would like this to happen, but I want a clean install.

I bought an Audubon Birds Field Guide app for my Droid X and installed it, in addition to a ton of other free apps. Unfortunately the Droid died and I got a new one from VZ. When I took the new DX to the VZ store to set it up the guy said I should be able to restore all the apps I had installed, including the one I bought, but none of them showed up on the phone. He was not really all that helpful and told me to contact Audubon about replacing the app. I just did that, but I am concerned that none of the apps I had already installed showed up on the new DX.

I've seen people in videos boot their phone quickly, where is the option to do this on my phone? I'm probably being very stupid but when i turn my phone on and off it does the usual slow version.

We created a free app - VIN Barcode Scanner. I would like to know your opinion and your feedback. We are interested in a collaboration. We could offer integration to developers who has an app for search of information by VIN in Autocheck and other bases. Users would love that.
With application it is possible to scan VIN code quickly using your phone or tablet cam and then send a recieved code via sms or email. In case of integration, it is possible to search for information on the resources mentioned above. I think it is very convenient.
We are happy to offer you the following: SDK which will allow you to add VIN codes scanning into your app very easily. Many developers are using our SDK. Our SDK has a demo-mode so you can try it for free.URL....

I am new to Android, being an iOS aficionado who decided to give Android a try.
I am slowly but surely getting the hang of things. One thing, however, has me baffled: how do I quickly search for content on my device ( namely, contacts, apps, calendar entries, etc).
With iOS you merely swipes to the left of the home screen and type in the search box there what you're looking for. How do I do something similar with Android? I've tried the Google gesture search app, but it doesn't seem to bring up results very reliably.

I'm trying to figure out if I should ask verizon for a new battery. My eris battery life last me a full day, but my battery drops to 85% within the first hour after my phone is removed from the charger. The battery than dies slower from that point on. I figure this may be a bad battery or bad meter. Is there a way to calibrate the battery meter?

I'm loving my fascinate so far except for one really annoying feature (other than bing, of course). Whenever my screen goes off, the phone locks itself, and I'm forced to use the puzzle piece or the unlocked grid. This happens every time the screen auto shuts off, or when I shut it off manually with the power button. Is there a way for a non-root user to delay the autolocking to something like 30 minutes or so? As far as i can tell, there is no setting for it, only the screen timeout setting. Its annoying to keep having to unlock the phone, especially if I am driving. Anyone have any ideas?

I don't really think it makes a difference, but I'm running CM6 with the stock kernel and using setCPU. Normally I have great battery life but sometimes my phone dies extremely quickly and it says that the dialer is using all the battery. Does anyone know what is happening and how I can prevent this?

I've been getting pretty good battery life (about 14-16 hours on average) when I use the airplane mode trick and kill the Media Hub service. However, my phone has not been able to sleep since the past 2 days and the battery is draining quickly.
The up time indicates that the phone cannot go to sleep. I'm just surprised because I haven't changed any of my phone settings so I don't know why this is happening. I uninstalled the last app that I downloaded and that didn't help.
Should I try doing a hard reset? Are there any apps that will specifically tell me what is keeping the phone awake?

Anyone else having problems with their contacts loading slowly? I am running fresh 2.3.3. If I understand it correctly, each time you select a contact, it actually 'downloads' the data from the 'google cloud'? Is there anyway to speed this up or just load the contacts on the SD card and it can more quickly pull it from the phone?

I have a question, for the apps we can download them again, but I backed up my people phone contacts to my SD card using Astro, how do I restore those contacts and my pictures once I do the upgrade, and is there a better program to back up the contacts from the phone to the PC, then send them back from the PC back onto the phone, would feel better having 2 different backups in case one does not work, can't hurt,

I had to reset my phone to solve a GPS crashing problem. Prior to the reset, I had successfully installed Ryan's one-click lag fix, and my phone was a demon.After the reset, I noticed the SU was left behind, and when I did Ryan's rooting step, it told me the phone was already rooted and that the lag fix was unavailable. When I click on lag fix it tells me a lag fix is already installed and reports this file: (/system/bin/playlogos1 less than 5kb). But I cannot find this file.
Do I have to reformat the internal memory and, if so, how do I do that? Does reformatting complicate restoring the phone again?

I have a Plantronics headset, and a Sony car stereo (w/ BT). When I'm in the car, I prefer to use Bluetooth over the stereo, so I'm looking for a quicker way to swap between the two devices without having to go into settings.
Auto-switching would be preferable, but a widget that can just bring up all device so I can select which one I'd rather use, would work, too.

Im looking for an app which would show some popup window containing apps/folders which I've selected.
The idea is that I could quickly access my most-used apps, and maybe folders, without flicking through many home screens.
Im using the stock A2.1 launcher (on SE x10mp).

I have been using my Nexus 10 for a while now, but just recently got into all the "custom ROM" stuff. I wanted to know, that if I just backup my Apps + User Data, then flash a custom ROM, then restore those Apps + Data, will it work? Also, will it mess up the ROM anyway?

I have My Backup Pro on my phone for my backup app. I am wondering if I restore and app from the backup is it like restoring it from scratch or is it better to reinstall an app directly from the Google Play Store?

I got my wife an S3 for Mother's day and tonight, sat down to transfer all of her data from her S2. I used the Smart Switch app and along with Contacts, pictures ect. I included her apps. Problem is not all of them switched over. I figured i'd just re-download them again from Google Play Store from the S3, however the apps "appear" to be installed. I've check to see if the missing apps were selected as hidden but there's nothing there. I'm unable to uninstall and reinstall again. Her Gmail app isn't even visible anywhere on the device....have I missed a step in doing the switch from S2 to S3? Should I be signing her out of Google Play on the S2, and how to go about signing out of Google Play Store.

So I just wiped and installed a new rom, now when I try and restore my backup in titanium "messaging 4.2.1-en...(SMS/MMS PREFS)" and I reboot it fails to restart and gets stuck at the loading screen, so I have to re-wipe and start again.
Is there any other way I can restore my SMS? Something strange is going on here seeing as it's still a 4.2.1 ROM!

my SE Xperia Pro .I was flashing it to CM10 , flashed the core but that was the last thing done successfully. Clock work Mod recovery didn't launch , so firmware even didn't started to install. Now by switching it on I just get nice picture "xperia free project" and depressing dark after it. I cant launch recovery, SEUS at the first time stopped working very quickly, the second time said that there is modified software there, and thirdly ,at last, didn't recognize my phone at all. Can i do something with it, excepting using it like a brick?

I was playing around with the Ubislate 7ci tablet, which is basically a generic Android tablet with stock ICS. Since it is not supported well, I went thru multiple documents and rooted it, After a lot of tries installed ClockWorkMod 4 too and took a backup. But after that I went one too far and installed ClockWorkMod touch 6, which pushed my system in to a bootloop. I am not able to go to recovery, adb / fastboot is not recognizing my tablet.
I tried writing the boot.img and recovery.img to SD card using win32diskimager, but the tablet is not booting from the SD card.
I have the backup files from ClockWorkMod and a tablet which bootloops (not able to go in to recovery or adb/fastboot). Is there a chance of reviving the tablet?

I want to restore all my sms/mms into my phone since I did not notice that my phone message setting was default to "delete old messages" where test message limit was 200 messages per conversation.
I did a previous backup using Titanium Backup. But if I did restore the old backup, it will overwrite the message content and "new message" will gone. How do I restore the old message while maintaining the new message in my phone?
Btw, I'm using Titanium Backup 4.2.1, my phone is LG Optimus 3D, Android 2.3.5.
