Text message backup

[rdubmu]

What is the best way to back up text messages. On Windows Phone if I hard reset my phone and log into my Windows phone my text would reappear along with my apps.

Can you actually restore with Mighty Text though?

Does Android have a naive text backup since apps are also backed up?

IMO Titanium Backup as .xml is the best. Does SMS & MMS.

Have to be rooted though...

Your can also use Helium to backup text messages. No root needed.

The G2 has built in backup service.
Here's a link to t-mobile's page about it (it's similar for my AT&T G2 as well):
Backup & restore: LG G2 | T-Mobile Support

This is one of the (many) advantages to having a Google number. Especially for Sprint people for whom it is free. But all text messages are automatically backed up to your Google account.

Just one solution from my end.

I believe the LG G2 D800 has backup & restore built-in.

1. Settings
2. General (Tab)
3. Backup & Reset
4. LG Backup service
5. Backup & restore
6. (either) Back up data (or) Restore from backup

*** NOTE *** Factory Reset WILL DELETE the BACKUP. I connect my LG G2 to my PC and download the backup file(s) there before performing the factory reset.

What are the steps to restore text (SMS & MMS) messages from the Google Account?

I have been using SMS Backup + by Jan Berkel for all of my phones.
You can find it easily on the Play Store (can't post links since I have only been lurking vs posting for years...)

If you use CM Security, it has the ability to backup automatically and restore your messages. It's a bit weird, but it's under menu, find phone, find lost personal cloud data. Contacts, SMS, phone log.
