Backup to Gmail

I've used this for a couple years. In the last 3 months it started having errors for backing up sms and mms. I so disappointed, this app used to be great.

The app no longer backs up saying general communication issues. I think it probably needs an update to handle more current secure authentication with gmail.

Used to work well but doesn't anymore :-( shame. Anyone know of an alternative that does the same automatic backup?

I have to login in and manually backup. I had this to view my son's messages so it's useless now

App crashes over and over again when sending and receiving messages when you have auto backup turned on

As of a couple of weeks, my sent messages have not been backing up to my gmail. Messages I receive are backing up automatically as always. Does anyone know a fix?

I used to have my text messages backed up to my Gmail instantly with this app. But lately, since the new update.... . It doesn't back up anything until I go into the app and reinstate the settings to my email address. Then I can manually back up my messages and pictures. . Please fix the general communication error so that it works like it used to.... Automatically!! .

I have loved this app for a long time. It used to login, when I connected it to my Gmail and backup automatically. Ever since I have had the Galaxy S7, it no longer does this. Now I must remember to back things up once every few days and if I don't, things pile up and take forever to backup. Please create an update for the S7. I will give it 5 stars and donate

Now, it's hit or miss on the backup. Used to (years ago when first purchased) back up immediately and automatically... Now, it sometimes goes days without backing up. Then when you open the app, gives an error, and you have to log back in with your credentials. Lame.

This app worked great in the beginning then all of sudden it no longer backs up by itself. I have to force it & when it does back up it only backs up my incoming messages not my outgoing as well. It used to do both in a conversation format to google. Now it doesn't work at all. I've contacted the developer with no response at all the 3 times I have sent an email. My next step is contacting Google directly.

For years I've had this on S4 no issues. Reinstalled on new Samsung Galaxy S6 & gives same message others are getting regarding a communications error. Not working at all now.

This app used to backup to gmail automatically. Now, it doesn't even communicate with the server to sign in, in order to backup. I've had this app for many years. Time to try a new one.

This software seems to have been abandoned. It hasn't been updated since May 12, 2015 and does not work properly anymore (automatic backups fail, manual backups sometimes work). The link to the website of the author fails with a 404 error.

I would give this app. 5 stars but one problem is that it doesn't backup daily even though I have checked the preference to back up automatically.

Loved this app for years. Now when I try to use it, get an email from Google saying this is blocked because "an app that doesn't meet modern security standards". Please advise

Get "Error during backup. General communication error" message now. Have checked my Gmail settings but still doesn't work. Great app, miss having my text messages backed up.

Worked fine until I had to change my Gmail password. Now even uninstalling and reinstalling doesn't work. Pulls through 2 texts, and then crashes :-(

Please refund my money, it's not able to backup the sms and calls, what good is it if it's not serving the purpose. I have reported the issues many times no response from the team

Really upset moved and to change my number now it won't work wants me to repay the fee for syning them! I know it's not a lot but it's the principal of it,when it worked it was fantastic! Worked perfectly!

I used to have my text messages backed up to my Gmail instantly with this app. But lately, since the new update.... . It doesn't back up anything until I go into the app and reinstate the settings to my email address. Then I can manually back up my messages and pictures. . . Wish that wasn't the only way to do it.

Can someone help me with restoring the data. I hit the restore button and it does not work.

I got a new phone phone and when I try to restore my SMS (There are over 80,000 of them), it stops halfway through (10 hours) and then I have to start over. It keeps saying "general communication error". Trying to restore my text messages and contacts to a new phone is what we pay for. If this app can't do that, then it's useless. UNFORTUNATELY, BACKUP TO GMAIL HAS STOPPED....get used to seeing that message.

Works great, generally reliable! Wish it would warn you when backup fails for some reason or another - like password change, communication error, etc re: COMMUNICATION ERROR another user experienced... I recently purchased a tablet & was often carrying either/or, not both phone & tablet. I tried installing an app that syncs messages to your tablet - did not notice that I was 2-3 weeks w/out SMS backup until I went looking for a particular message. Phone logs had been backing up just file. Deleted the 2nd app, the communication error went away & backups resumed. 2nd wishlist item, an "exception list" of messages (numbers) NOT to backup

Been a user since 2011. It does backup and restore. But definitely needs work. Communication Error during backup often create duplicates messages when I had to start over (Annoying) Caused me to have nearly 70,000 messages saved. Had to manually delete the duplicates from Gmail to restore with no error (Time Consuming). Would prefer if messages saved together instead of separate batches. Tech support not helpful (sent an email with no response) Would be great if MMS could be restored.

I have had this ap for at least a year. It WAS great. I don't care for the splitting of messages into mms and sms, because it divides a single conversation into two folders if i add a simple emoticon. Makes it very awkward to try and patch together later. And now I'm repeatedly getting the "error in communication" message, though sometimes it just decides to work. That tells me it's a problem with the ap, not the gmail settings. Fix it. Please. I want this to go back to an awesome ap.

This worked for my Droid Maxx with no problems at all. However, I got a new phone yesterday, the Droid Turbo and it keeps crashing on restoring my SMS and Call Logs. Is there an update for this in the near future? The message I get is "Unfortunately, Backup to Gmail has stopped." I'd like to be able to restore all of my SMS's, Call Log, etc. It;s on Android Lollipop. Please HELP! 19Feb16 Do any of the developers actually read the bug notices? I can't get this to work on my Droid Turbo! Everytime I try to restore it crashes and I get an error that says "Unfortunately, Backup to Gmail has stopped" and it stops restoring! When are you going to fix this? I paid for this app and I expect someone to address it and fix it so it works! A response would be appreciated so I know I'm not being ignored! Either that or refund my money!

It worked the first time then just didn't. Waste of effort when google backs up more

Use to back up everything perfectly but now on my new zte zmax I will not work on all SMS messages it force close everytime

We have PAID for this app. I have been trying for days to get it to restore my messages since the tech had to restore factory settings on my phone. This isn't a free app so it really needs to do what it's supposed to. Fix this!

I have to login in and manually backup. I had this to view my son's messages so it's useless now

Used to be great, but since 28th April 2015, emails no longer contain content-type: text/plain & charset=utf-8 parameters in the headers . The result is that emails display perfectly in gmail, but are incorrectly formatted in other clients such as thunderbird.

This app no longer appears to be supported. No reply to emails. No longer functioning as promised. Do not waste your money on it.

I like this app it's very handy i am getting errors backing up SMS i get a general communication error. I will be happy to see this work.

I have a samsung galaxy core prime and the app will not restore at all. Continually says communication error.

I dare not trust a different app to use to backup my files.

Trash from the application, i am not able to recoup their messages to the new phone and sent and received calls ... :(

Get a communication error when attempting to back up SMS and MMS. Any solutions?

Google now blocks this app and won't allow a back up and states the app doesn't meet security standards. Pretty lame since I paid for it.

I used Backup to Gmail But It have msg Error during backup: General Communication Error Pls help me

I purchased , and it STILL don't work!
