Go the reverse way

Is there a way to sync texts that were saved on the tablet to the phone? I recently had my phone wiped and I couldn't restore them, but my tablet has all my texts. So I want to copy the messages over from my tablet to my recently wiped phone. Please tell me there's a way to do that D:
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
No not at this time
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Working hard on an update. Don't ask for ETAs. :-) Looking forward to better stability and performance

SyncSMS problems with SGS-III and TF300T

I have been using SyncSMS for quite a while and I recently got an ASUS TF300T to replace my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 (now with our daughter). I was synching SMS messages via my Samsung SGS-II phone and home computer and all was well until now.

What changed?

I replaced my Gingerbread based SGS-II by a T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S-III which is running stock ICS. There were the additional SyncSMS updates from the Play Store (I still prefer the old "The Market" name ;-)

The problem is that I can only see one side of the conversation on my TF300T... my side. I cannot see the messages from the other parties. I read the FAQ and followed the instructions but I must have overlooked something as I can't get it to work properly.

My SMS app on the SGS-III is "Handcent SMS rev 4.3.5". This is the same app I was using on my SGS-II and on my previous G2x and I had no problems.

I also disabled the stock message reader supplied with the SGS-III.

I would appreciate any assistance into how I can get SyncSMS to work properly with this configuration. Should I remove SyncSMS from both devices and start fresh?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Flash fox I already answered you via PM when you PMd me yesterday.

Also read the FAQ in the settings about third party sms apps.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] flashfox:
Sorry... I missed the PM ;-(

Just sent you a PM in response and the logs from my phone
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
hey guys, i just wanted to let you know that this app is not dead. i got a nexus 7, and am i making sure that it runs well on the nexus 7 and is formatted well for the smaller tablet size.

also, i need 4 volunteers to join the beta group that use this app a lot and have time to send me feedback and errors. I will take the first 4 PM's (please include your email addy). thanks guys!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ellingsoc:
Pm sent
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
thank you guys for the interest, but the SyncSMS beta group is now set.

in the mean time, feel free to share your thoughts and ideas for improving the app! also, if you like the app, be sure to rate it in the Google Play Store!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Real_Justus:
Who is in and who is not? Just asking cause I am in doubt if I am or not or if I missed something...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Everyone who asked, is in.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ellingsoc:
Sweet can't wait to try out the update

[Xoom Themes and Apps] iridium21:
Is there a 'lite' version of this so that I can check it works ok before purchasing?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Real_Justus:
It works pretty good... But you got 15 Minutes to test, no matter what...
[Xoom Themes and Apps] 94SupraTT:
Beta is working great!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] thelastwilson:
Tasker

Is there currently any tasker integration?

I've had a search through the thread but can't find anything, would be really useful even if its not a fully plugin and only via the send intent action something like com.developer.app.[start|stop]service like can be done with some other apps.

Other then that, its a great app.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bongd:
Purchased and works great, but it's really slow using Dropbox. I'd use Wifi but I wish there were a way to revert to Wifi when connected, but use Dropbox if not connected to Wifi. It's a bit cumbersome.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
i am working on an update which should improve performance. also, my update will lay the framework so that i can evaluate possibly using other Cloud APIs
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rmkilc:
What do you mean its slow? Are you talking about the time it takes to sync and send or receive a message tablet size?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bongd:
I retract my statement. I finally found out how to enable the Google account and now it's lightning fast. :)

I was talking about the Dropbox sync earlier. I think my Dropbox account or the server it's on is buggered after tinkering with it a bit more.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rmkilc:
Yeah, dropbox is used as a temporary storage point. Google push is used to make it near instant. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] bongd:
Mhm. Now my only challenge is that it's not recognizing the do-no-sync settings. But what I'm trying is changing the checking interval to an hour or more so I don't get two notifications when I have both devices with me.

Playing with this at work (whoops) but it's working great with Google Account. I know there are things under development currently but I can appreciate that and I'm so happy with the configuration I've got now. Thanks again, d0lph1nK1ng. Almost forgot, but going to give this a 5/5 rating with a review in the Google Play store. Will recommend to friends as well. :)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] kevdog:
Thanks for continuing to do work on this.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gnuAU:
Thanks for the app, but I'm having trouble getting messages from international mobiles, sending them is no problem from the tablet. Local mobiles work fine in both directions. I'm using the stock sms application on a gt-i9210t.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] D1ll3r:
I really love this app, just what i've been looking for.

Got the Google push and Dropbox all set up.

But i can't seem to get the "Sync all past SMS" feature to work. Any hints ?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ellingsoc:
There should be a update coming soon I would think
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Unfortunately that feature may have some bugs in it. I just sent out the release candidate version of the update to my private beta members, and hope to release the update to all by the end of the week. Thank you all for your patience.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] thefightforgood:
This would be a phenomenal feature. I would love if I could send intent actions to turn sync on/off from Llama.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
there is a Do Not Sync interval that you can set to automatically turn off sync in that time interval, i will think about adding a public open intent for use by other apps
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:

[Xoom Themes and Apps] PMOttawa:
Hi. I've been considering buying SyncSMS for a while and finally did today. I set it up on my SGS2 and my Nexus 7 and managed to sync my messages properly. However, there is a real lag on between the message appearing on my phone and being sent to my tablet (and on the replies). I saw in the thread that setting up Google Push will give near instantaneous syncing but I can't figure out how to set it up properly.

I've looked, but beyond the included wizard I haven't seen any instructions on how to set it up for optimal performance.

Do you have step by step guidelines anywhere?

Thanks.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ellingsoc:
Setting

Help and about

Under about find the version #

Tap it like 20 times then close and open the app again

Sent from Galaxy S3
[Xoom Themes and Apps] PMOttawa:
Tap it 20 times?... That's a pretty obscure setting. Thanks. I'll try this.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] PMOttawa:
Didn't work...

Thanks for the advice, but it didn't seem to do anything. No log in to Google option appears.

Though I still appreciate it.

I'm hoping that the app developer has some more in-depth guidelines/suggestions for setting this up on the phone and table beyond the help section on the app. There are some questions I can't find answers to on this thread, either.

What I'm looking for is what do I need to do to get near "same time" texting from my phone and tablet.

Specifically:

What's the ideal set up? What's the fastest? Are there considerations to get good balance between performance and energy drain?

The default "sync" time is 5 minutes. If I have syncing at 5 minutes on my phone and 5 minutes on my tablet does that mean I can have up to 10 minutes lag between having the two devices in sync? (That's what it seems like right now).

Should I set sync to 15 seconds to get high performance? If I do, will it kill my battery by polling for texts repeatedly?

I'm not a heavy user while I would like to get the texts fast, I don't really want to drain my battery quickly.

It kind of sounds like Is accessing Google Push capability is something separate from syncing but it's not clear.

What about Power Management apps? I have one on my phone, so if it manages connectivity do I need to exempt SyncSMS so it will continue working?

Thanks.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ellingsoc:
Then keep tapping it works trust me. First screen shot shows the screen you need to be at the tap version 0.92

It works when you see Google show up in the settings

Sent from Galaxy S3
[Xoom Themes and Apps] PMOttawa:
Yes... and thanks.

Thanks for your patience and taking the time with me.

The problem was that it was working, but I just wasn't seeing where the Google option was showing up (because I think I expected it to appear under Help and About, not the level above it).

I've now got it all set up and it's working as well as I hoped it would... maybe even better. I'm shocked at how fast everything syncs.

Spectacular job by the developer. The dropbox/google push solution is really elegant.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Manicor:
My opinion

I purchased this app and used it until I found Tablet Talk.

Tablet Talk is years ahead of this in my opinion.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] PMOttawa:
Maybe, but...

... SyncSMS does everything I need it to do. I wanted a solution that didn't require a direct connection through wifi or bluetooth and this was it.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] thelastwilson:
It would be appreciated greatly. I love the app but find myself not using it purely because I forget to turn it on. All my other settings are scripted with tasker based on either location or NFC tags.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
OK, let me see what I can do for you in the next update - coming much sooner than the last update took =]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] julyaann:
++++1111
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
you can use the following intents to turn the service on and off if you have at least version 0.9.2:

- com.d0lph1nk1ng.syncsms.intent.action.START_SERVICE

- com.d0lph1nk1ng.syncsms.intent.action.STOP_SERVICE

but for that to work properly, please be sure that:

- background sync is enabled

- wifi-sync only is disabled

- do not sync interval is disabled

enjoy!
[Xoom Themes and Apps] rlanza1054:
Just wanted to say that I've been using this app for a few months an absolutely love it.

Just noticed something in thread about instantaneous and Google setup. Going to settings and see what this is about.

But never had a problem and stopped using the other one that I had originally installed.

Love the app! I any reason I sometimes have 2 conversation windows with contact? Sometimes ill have 2 Dan windows one with just the sent messages? I is there anyway to keep them in one conversation?

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ellingsoc:
Long press on one and make sure the phone is the same sometimes you will see a 1 then the number
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Bettz:
The conversations with my contacts names start with +44 the ones where I just see my sent texts start with the original number any idea? I apart from changing all my contacts to +44?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ellingsoc:
Make sure the numbers are the same and that should fix your problem.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Bettz:
I edit the numbers in syncsms from +44 to 0... And save which sorts out the conversations but as soon as I get another message it lists it as +44 again.

Sent from my Nexus 7

---------- Post added at 04:13 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:31 PM ----------

If I change the contacts number to +44 the conversations sync properly. Is there a way round this or will I have to change all my contacts to +44?

Sent from my Nexus 7
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ellingsoc:
Make sure you fix the number in your contacts as well I had to edit a bunch when I first used the app
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Bettz:
What do you mean fix contacts? Contacts are fine in my phone the only problem is I'm going to have to change everybody's number to start with +44 is there no workaround?

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mr. Whippy:
Just purchased SyncSMS. I'm running a Droid4 from Verizon, using the native SMS program. The tablet is a Nexus7, unlocked but not rooted. Regular single SMS messages work fine.

I cannot receive group messages. I haven't tried sending a group message yet. I receive a "ghost" to the account every once in a while that says "6250" as the sender and it has the message VZWMMN1 synced. That's it.

Is there a way to receive group messages?

What is the 6250 sender? Almost like a ghost from dropbox.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mr. Whippy:
Just noted a second issue:

If I send two messages to the same recipient in short order, sometimes the first message does not get delivered (almost like it's deleted or overwritten by the second messge before sending out).
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mr. Whippy:
So, is this basically a dead app? What are people using instead? Tablet Talk?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mr. Whippy:
Wanted to wait until I got a response here, but had to rate this only 2 stars. Getting the 6250 ping message every hour or so is plain annoying. Not receiving any response from the developer (contacted via email a few times) or here on the xda, I can only assume it's an orphan now.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] cdmackay:
Apols for OT, but...

Does anyone know of an SMS -- email gateway app that offers reasonable privacy? i.e. something that will let me read and reply to SMS msgs on my Desktop, ideally via email.

I know of PhoneLeash, DeskSMS, etc, but they all route your msgs via their own server, which isn't private enough for me.

SMStoMailboxPro was perfect, and used my own gmail to relay the msgs, which is reasonable, but it has stopped working with Android 4.2.1 (at least, for me on CM 10.1), and the dev is not responsive.

any suggestions, please?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] n0m0n:
Hello,

Anyway to get this to also work on a PC, and or iMAC?

Thanks
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Unfortunately, this is not possible due to technical restrictions.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Sorry about the absence. There has not been much happening with regard to the app since the v0.9.3.3 update back in late November.

I have started to do some more development on the app this week, and I'm hoping to release an update at some point with a revamped Setup Wizard, better 7in tablet/phone support via SlidingMenu, as well as various bugfixes.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jopah:
I've been using your app for over a year and i absolutely love it :D I was wondering what your opinion on adding a quick reply/read button to the extended notification would be. I'm not a developer at all and I feel like this would be a lot of work, but I know I would find it rather useful, so i figured I'd ask what you thought about it =]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Mjamocha:
Awesome thanks.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Ellingsoc:
Looking forward to the next update
[Xoom Themes and Apps] uscpsycho:
I hate to bump such an old thread but is it possible that there's no way to get vibration alerts with this app? Seems like such a basic thing that it would have been brought up at some point in the 100+ pages of posts. I searched and didn't find anything about it. Am I missing something or is this basic feature missing?

And while I'm bumping this thread, what is the recommended sync interval for not killing your battery? Will setting a high frequency lead to serious battery drain?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] projekt06:
two way sync?

Hi, I have multicard by O2 and use two devices with one number.

Problem is, only one device can receive sms. I can chose by

USSD code which one. But if my tablet receives an sms, it is not synchronized

via syncsms, it only informs me about missed calls and incoming calls. Synchronizing SMS

from phone to tablet works , but SMS received by the tablet are not synced.

Did I miss some option in the settings?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Dswelch51964:
Can I use old Jason files to restore

Phone crashed without a good SMS backup. Lost about 2 months, but I've been running your software the whole time. I found all the files in Dropbox subdirectory.

How can I setup or use to restore to my galaxy S5 that is rooted?

Let me know if simple or complex and where I should start.

Thanks

[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Works great! Isn't there supposed to be a wdget?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
No. Widget is under development
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Oh, OK...works great.

Only thing I would like to see is having the messages to and from alternate like a standard text message AP like chompsms. Right now, all of mine are on bottom and theirs are on top so I run out of room when trying to reply to a text... I can't see what they said back.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Descend:
I like the app. I agree seeing the messages one after another would be nice as posted above. Also being able to copy and paste messages would be awesome, for web browser links and such. Keep up the good work, and thanks.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] keitht:
After a rough start with my rude comments (sorry) I tried this and it does work well. I do not like the poll period options and have removed it for battery life reasons. If this could have push notifications to get the data, I would be more comfortable using it but I do not want my Xoom draining battery life checking every 5 minutes to get the data. Otherwise, great work on the app! I apologize again at the start for my remarks..
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
appreciate the apology
[Xoom Themes and Apps] jtseidner:
Thanks for the great app, this is really cool! Along with everyone else I agree message threading could be improved, but I'm sure as the app progresses you can improve it so that the conversation appears as it normally would.

Question...could MMS be a feature in the future?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Descend:
Agree MMS would be cool
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
i'm not sure i understand what you and Descend mean? could you please elaborate or show a pic?

as for mms, i'm not sure, but i can add it to the list =]
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Here is the best way I know how to explain.

Right now, the text show on the screen like this:

YOU: Blah, blah blah

YOU: blah blahb blahb

YOU: Blahb abla bljahbkakhbakhbkhab

YOU: aboubougou fouf

ME: Blah blah blah blahb

ME: sdflkdeidfoaidsfkle

ME: lkdsfldkfsdkjld

ME: gkhadfhdiydfkfkf

When we believe it should look more like this:

YOU: BLahb blahb llbhakhb

ME: bkahdkbhdk blah blah

YOU: blahbkhbabkhb blahblb blhab

ME: blah blah blah bkhbhbkhb

YOU: blah blah bklhab

ME: blah blahb blah

So the text should alternate based on when they are received or sent. Sometimes you could get two or more by ME: if I send them before YOU: responds but in general they would go back and forth in a converstation.

Does that make sense?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
yeah i think i got it. the message show that they are properly sorted by time, correct? (even though they are incorrectly grouped by sender/received)

The real message flow is:

ME: Hi

OTHER: Hello, how are you?

ME: Good, you?

OTHER: Not bad.

But you are seeing:

ME (3:11): Hi

ME (3:12): Good, you?

OTHER (3:13) Hello, how are you?

OTHER (3:14) Not bad.

Am I correct that this is what you are seeing?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] gbenj:
Thats what I'm seeing, which as far as I know, is a known issue for you, the times from received messages appearing a few hours earlier than sent.

Need any more info on that front?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
received messages (from other ppl via phone?) are being shown hours earlier than messages sent (from phone / from tablet?). is it exactly off by an hour?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] Thefoot2468:
mine is always off by 4 hrs the recived SMS always has the wrong time stamp, my sent s always right
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Yes, they seemed to be sorted by time. Weird thing is that my outgoing text have the correct time stamp while my received text are time stamped 7 hours off (earlier). They should be 11:55am and they are stamped as 4:55am.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Yes, that is what is happening with me.

But a threaded view would be nice so its easier to respond to text because the newest text would always be on bottom and it would read more like a conversation. :-)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Now, as of today, my sent messages are being duplicated. Although the person receiving the text is not getting them twice... they are still showing up in my view panel twice.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
ghoticov, are you on 0.3.5?
[Xoom Themes and Apps] ghoticov:
Yes, I am on v0.3.5.

EDIT: Weird thing was that it wasn't duplicating every message. It started off ok, then duplicated some of them, stopped and then started again.
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
This is most likely related to the timestamp bug. Let's see how things go when that is resolved.

I have been working on my other pet project the past few days, EyeLauncher, available for free in the market. I learned so much doing this SyncSMS app that I need to update the other app with all the practices and ideas =)
[Xoom Themes and Apps] d0lph1nK1ng:
Attached v0.3.6 with bugfix for timestamp issue

As I mentioned above, I've been working on another one of my projects, so v0.4.0 isn't quite ready yet. I felt that this bug was important enough to be worth a release though, so here you go! This will only fix messages received after installation on both phone and tablet. Unfortunately this will not fix the timestamp on previously received messages. Enjoy!
