Android Backup / Cloud and Gmail Support

[kcella]

Does anyone know of an android app that can backup SMS, MMS to Gmail and also backup App data to the cloud (preferably Google Drive)? Ability to schedule the backup is ideal too.

I can find app that do one of these function, but not both. Which is the alternative, but for simplicity, I'd rather have one.

You don't mention your phone. Samsung has Kies they could be others for different brands. Google backs up your settings and a app list to your Google account.

I have a Samsung GS4. If Google backs up my app list, then why didn't it download my apps when I upgraded my phone from Droid2? That is actually what I expected and was the reason why I started looking for backup Apps. I will take a look at Kies.

Kies is not working for me. It is very slow and it has yet to load any content from my phone.

Hmm, what Android version were you on the Droid 2? When I transferred from my Galaxy S to the S3 mini, my apps automatically downloaded. Although not sure if its because of Google or my Samsung Account. Samsung provides cloud backup on their more recent phones.

I had Gingerbread on my Droid2. I found the apps, they are listed under "All", but not downloaded or installed. Probably related to the fact that when I added my Google account, I had no data network. I was working off of WifFi until it went down due to a storm. I had hoped it would resume once the network was fixed, but it did not.

Now that I've at least got the app list, I'm still looking for a all-in-one backup solution. See my first post above for the description.
