SMS Backup??

---

anybody know how to back up sms messages from the G1? Or what directory messages are saved under? I have about 600 SMS in one thread with a person and would like to back up for business reasons, but since copy and paste doesn't work, i'm out of options and its really slowing down my phone..any help would be greatly appreciated.

This might be a bit late, but now you have Txtract , it's released on Dec. 6th 2008.

You can now backup your SMS, Text Messages off your G1 phone into XML, CVS (HTML is coming up next) files on the SD card.

The application is available under the Tools category in the Market application. Screenshots and some instructions here http://wiki.brilaps.com/wikka.php?wakka=Txtract

My Backup also supposedly does this. I have not tested backup/restore features yet....just backup

Indeed it does, and it's a good app. However the output is so much not readable and latter processable by a not-much-computer-savy user.

Txtract 1.2 is coming up in a few days, let's wait & see what's in the bag

umm, it was neither built upon request, nor this thread is a promotion stunt. i actually saw this thread after the release of Txtract, and wanted to share the news over here.

Txtract 1.2 is released. Release notes here. http://wiki.brilaps.com/wikka.php?wa...ctReleaseNotes


The application is already published on the Android Market.


Thanks,

Txtract doesn't work for me. It cannot recognize the sd card even though I don't have it connected to my comp...:/

The solutions is to create the download/txtract directory structure in the SD card

Hi,

When your computer is connected, can you read/write to the card? Or, say, can you save anything else on the card via some other application running on your phone ?

Do you have the Txtract 1.2 ? It's build with Android 1.0 SDK, Release 2 (http://code.google.com/android/RELEASENOTES.html). Do you happen to have one of those drives mentioned in the release notes?

I'm getting the same SD card access error.

I'm able to read/write files when connected to a computer, and apps are able to read/write files to the SD card (specifically Android File Manager was able to copy a file).

I'm running RC30.

edit: And Txtract 1.2
