    text msgs - same phone, new # & carrier

    Not sure what you were saying there, but I've gone through everything that's been suggested, and everything I can think of. For example, last night after posting my last msg, I searched manually thru the system files on my phone & discovered a boatload of mtp files! Why they didn't come up when...

    text msgs - same phone, new # & carrier

    I loved this option! Dev mode was already enabled, so 7 taps on build # did nothing & I didn't remember that was how I'd activated it so long ago. I searched for MTP & media transfer protocol both, but neither came up in settings. However, I found an option under Accts & Backup for external...

    text msgs - same phone, new # & carrier

    Like you, I plugged in my phone to my laptop, but unlike you, it wouldn't recognize my laptop. Perhaps that was because it's Linux - I hadn't considered that possibility.

    text msgs - same phone, new # & carrier

    This is for transferring Galaxy to Galaxy. No option to transfer from Galaxy to laptop or other brand of phone. But thanks for the suggestion.

    text msgs - same phone, new # & carrier

    It may be lovely & easy to use, but it requires *32* permissions! Including all sorts of things unrelated to simply backing up SMS messages. Thanks for the suggestion, but I've got to pass on this one.

    text msgs - same phone, new # & carrier

    After downloading the app to my phone, creating an account, and logging in on a browser, I searched through everything the app offered, but nowhere did I find how to backup or restore SMS messages - you can *send* them through the app, but that's not what I'm after. If there's an option for SMS...

    text msgs - same phone, new # & carrier

    Can you tell me something about this? It looks like a web-based app (I'm looking for a local backup), and the link doesn't actually tell me anything but wants me to sign up.

    Hello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S10+ phone that I've recently swapped my SIM card to a new phone, and now I have a new SIM card, a new phone number, and a new carrier. My texts are currently intact, but after all these years I want to learn how to back them up locally on the phone or on my...

    Help modem login problem

    Hello, I just re-set my Galaxy tab to factory tablet to give to my grandson. When I try to connect to my modem, the connection is "saved" but it can't connect. I am certain I am using/typing the right password. I just want to log in to Google Play and get him some game apps before he goes home...

    blue vs grey

    Hello, I'm new to Android and to KIES. Will someone please explain to me why my wifi icon in the tray is sometimes blue and sometimes grey? And would this have anything to do with syncing issues?
