backup texts 1.6 to 2.1

[geraerb]

Hi All,

Like every user probably did, I did a backup of my contacts and text messages before I updated to 2.1. I used the standard messaging app for this, thinking that I would be able to import them using the new messaging app.

However in 2.1, the messaging app does not have the feature to import the texts. And know I don't have any idear on how to get my texts back.

I already tried to install the original mmsg app from android 1.6, but that is a no go, as I expected.

Does someone have a clue on how to recover this ?

Else I have to revert back to 1.6, import and backup again using a different app and then update to 2.1 again. Losing all my setting for the second time.

If you have to go to the flash back to 1.6 then I would suggest an app called SMS Backup & Restore which I have found pretty good but haven't had to use it in relation to the update. What a pain in the rear tho. Let us know how you get on.

Why cant you just use the backup and restore that comes with the phone works a charm for me?

A lot of people are having issues restoring the backup they made with the 1.6 app. It's a common issue.

It took about 2hrs to restore all my stuff with S.E. Back up and restore

I actually DO save recipes as text messages sometimes, though ColorNote is probably better for such things.
