[APP] Telephony Data Backup

[bartito]

Hello,

We present our new app: Telephony Data Backup...

How many times have you lost a important call log or message?

This app allows you to make backups (manual or automatically) from the calls log and from the database of messages (sms).

As for incoming calls and received messages, if you activate the option, the backup will be performed as soon as the corresponding event occurs.

In contrast, due to the limitations of Android, the backup of outgoing messages is held every few hours, in a background process.

Furthermore, the application will show the call log or messages with a comfortable and intuitive interface and can answer calls or messages received from the application itself.

Of course, you can delete entries or log messages.

The paid version removes the Ads and allows you to create a backup in the sdcard of the app data.

Please, don't forget to contact if you have issues...

How it works

When a call is ended, or a message received, the app starts a background process that performs the backup.
You can enable/disable backup for phone calls or messages separately.

Permissions

Read contacts and read profile: To get the contacts data and map phones and contact names

Read SMS, Receive SMS: To read the messages in order to backup it
Write SMS: To allow users to send SMS messages from the app

Read call log, read phone state: To read the call log when a call ends in order to backup it
Make call: To allow users to start a call from the app

Read/Write external storage: To make backups of the app settings

Receive boot completed: To set timers to do internal tasks

Internet: To display Ads

Billing, get accounts: To manage payment users data

MMS and Cloud sync

Your app looks promising !

Does it save MMS too ? Does it send data to the cloud for a more useful backup ?

 

[Tylog]

Looks nice, will give it a try, thanks

App data backup sync with Drive is coming in a few hours...

 

[DocteurN]

Thanks for this usefull app !
I've seen the cloud sync in your ToDo list => great !
Could you make possible to change the backup folder ? (I like to regroup backup folder in the same one (titanium backup, settings backup...)
MMS are also saved ?

 

[alexcallit]

I will try it for sure

how to delete back up data thanks

 

[slickdealers]

Very useful app! One stupid question though. Where does the backup save to? If I were to wipe my phone the backup data would be gone unless I physically move it off the phone, right?

 

[Raistlin1]

So does this app have the ability to restore the backed up call log and sms messages?

 

[bartito]

how to delete back up data thanks

local backup is stored at /sdcard/TelephonyDataBackup folder

Very useful app! One stupid question though. Where does the backup save to? If I were to wipe my phone the backup data would be gone unless I physically move it off the phone, right?

The local backup is stored at sdcard.
If you wipe your phone, without clear sdcard data, you are able to recover it.
Also, I have just published a new version (1.2.10) that includes synchronization with Google Drive. If you enable it you can restore the backup from local or from your Drive.

So does this app have the ability to restore the backed up call log and sms messages?

Nope.
Calls log is writeable, this is not a problem, and I have implemented (finally removed for now due to some phones only store
the last 500 calls in the log), but sms database is (since android 19) only writeable by the default sms app.
I'm trying to know if is possible to bypass the sms protection using root commands, but only partial success for now.

Hi Robert @bartito @OP

One more small wonder. My only worry how do you plan to manage Calendar Notifier app and Telephony Back up?

Surely you will be having fun. I will start testing this app as before. :thumbup:

You're right, swipe isn't working fine when you click the switch. I will correct in next release.
Related to the call-block, I need to learn about if it's possible.
Related to the sms-block, isn't possible in Android since sdk-19. I need to learn if this is possible with root permissions, but I think not.

Even Titanium restores the SMS by changing default SMS app to Titanium, restore and then changing it back. Maybe this will work for yout tool too? (For both actions user is asked, so this would need some explanation to the user in before )

basically there are only 2 solutions: update the database using root permissions or become the default sms app for a while.
the 2nd solution is probably the best.

First: thanks for the pro Code. But i do have an issue with this: i followed your instructions, a message "key is valid" pops up, but the advertisements keep alive. I did a reboot and tried twice, no difference. the version i got is 1.1.9, the version shown under Settings say "1.1.9 PRO"
