Sms backup +

Hi there - I had to reset/wipe my samsung droid charge and I want to reconnect my SMS Backup + but it only gives me the option of the gmail account that's associated with my phone, but before I had it connected to a different gmail account that I have. When I open the app and click "connect" only one gmail account shows up. I tried logging out of that account on my phone's browser, and logging in to the one I want, but it still just offers me one account to connect to, and it's the wrong one. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks - Maggie

So you want to use this app to backup sms and restore it once you get the phone reset?

Maybe you have to re-download it once you reset the phone. Since I have never used the app I can't be of much help. But, I can suggest sms backup and restore, which works great and does not need you to login to any Gmail account: [Only registered and activated users can see links. Click Here To Register...]

Thanks so much for that idea. I saw another app that looked similar to the SMS Backup + that backed up to GMail - I think - or maybe it was this app.. Can you see your SMS somewhere backed up on your computer? And does it do MMS also? I will check into it more - I have emailed the developer of the SMS Backup + app and they haven't replied.. of course I guess for free we can't expect too much - but I will check this out. Meantime, if anyone else has any ideas, I am still listening. Thank you very much.

With sms backup/restore you can't see the text on a computer. For that you'll need another app to backup to Gmail (like you are trying to do) and open it there - other apps backup MMS but I'm not sure how that backs up to Gmail or similar for computer browsing. If you find a good solution be sure to let everyone know for future reference.

Hi Folks.. Someone told me to add the other gmail account to the phone and then it would give me the choice - which it did.. I know I didn't have to do that before - but I did it - and it's okay.. actually, I might try deleting the account and seeing if it will still work. anyway - though - thanks for your ideas here - I might try that other app also - looked just as good - only I already had my messages going to my gmail - so I thought I would stick with that. Thanks so very much for your quick and great responses.

Hi there - so - in case you didn't see below - I got the SMS Backup + to work.. and that app DOES make the messages easily viewable in gmail.. It's really quite nice - you have to get used to how gmail, on the web, works a bit.. it's all kind of an inbox - but with "labels" - but anyway - it works really nicely!!
Thanks again for all the great replies!
