How do you transfer your text messages and Pics from the Droid 2 to the Bionic. I have the SMS backup on the Droid 2 to my gmail, but reading conflicting reviews on whether or not this works.
Has anyone done this, or have any suggestions on how to accomplish.
Thanks!

09-14-2011 10:55 AMI used SMS backup and restore, took the txt file along with any data I wanted and transferred to a PC. Then I moved them back in while using mass storage on the Bionic. You do have to move the txt file from SMS onto the internal partition for it to work I think. At least that's what I did since the app already created the folder there. You can do this with the files app that's pre-loaded on the Bionic.

09-14-2011 10:59 AMHow did you grab the text file, doesn't it just create the file as part of the gmail calendar, or is there a setting i need to change..maybe I'm missing something?

09-14-2011 11:09 AMI have used sms backup on my OG droid to backup text messages when I did a factory reset on my phone. It worked perfectly but you lose your MMS messages. It can't restore those, only the SMS but you do have them saved in your gmail still. I have not tried to restore to a different device yet but I'm expecting my Bionic in an hour or so at which time i'll be trying it. Also, if you decide to give it a shot, remember it can only do around 100 messages at a time when backing up/restoring. You keep running it until it says no messages left.

09-14-2011 12:44 PMHandcent has a paid service where you can back up SMS and MMS. I think it was only $4 or so for a year. SMS can be transferred right over the network. For MMS you have to move a couple files in order to restore. Worked great. The only issue is with how the phone handles the timestamps. The stock program saves everything by when it was added to the phone. SMSgo sorts correctly but incoming messages often have an incorrect timestamp.

09-14-2011 01:50 PMDid they restore with the correct timestamp or is it showing the time they were restored at? Originally Posted by rza49311

09-14-2011 01:54 PMYeah must be something with the messaging software. If you look at the actual backup file made on the Bionic it still shows the original, correct timestamp next to the message. There has to be a fix for this.... Originally Posted by rza49311
