Is there a way to transfer MMS from my old phone to the new one? Already tried Backup and Restore, it doesn't do MMS, you just get the text, and not organized. Can you just grab a data file and transfer it? Any other software on computer?

Help MMS Transfer?

Sir, If the content of the messages is what your after thats one thing. but if you need that content to be on your new phone thats another thing entirely.
See I sometimes need the content of text/sms/mms messages for reports and stuff.
so the easiest way i've found to get it is to use an android remote administraton tool
I Don't need the texts to appear on another phone exactly. but i need the contents to be in a text file for my reports.
so my Solution is a tool called
AhMyth
which you can use on a pc to create an apk to install on the phone. then i open the apk once on the phone and it connects back to my pc.
it's got a nice easy to use Gui environment too.
i click the get sms tab it shows them all there on the screen and i click the save to button and it dumps it all as a capture file on the pc
i also open a blank .txt file
and i copy / paste the content of the sms window to the text file and then i have my records...
all in a easily readable text file.
then for the sake of the title of this thread to get that to my new phone i just email it to my self.
then it's there for my reference with the mesage contents pluss any contact name and the actual phone numbers the messages come from.
while this isn't exactly what you meant in you question this does solve the problem of recovering the messages and getting that recovered content transfered to a different device...
Hope it helps

SMS Backup and Restore does indeed include MMS media, but it's off by default and hidden under advanced option.
