I am trying to export my text messages and my contacts from a cell phone(an Adroid Samsung Galaxy mini and a Sony Ericsson w810i) to my ubuntu laptop.
Firstly I tried using Wammu
and I was easily able to export my text messages from the Sony Ericsson W810i(not android phone).
When it comes to the Android Samsung I cannot even retrieve the messages let alone export them, however I can retrieve every calls and only the contacts that are saved in SIM card.
I also tried with Xgnokii
which for some reason cannot start up as well as gMobileMedia
which states that my phone is not supported.
I also tried with gnome-phone-manager
but what I get is
thanos@thanos-laptop:~$ gnome-phone-manager
** (gnome-phone-manager:14036): CRITICAL **: bluetooth_chooser_button_set_property: assertion `bluetooth_verify_address (g_value_get_string (value)) || g_value_get_string (value) == NULL' failed
** Message: New connection device is empty (not changed)
** Message: New connection device is empty (not changed)
** Message: No device!
** Message: Exiting connect thread
I also tried other ports, but no phone can be found.
The only way to see my messages is via the android application airdroid
, but I am not able to save my messages and contacts in my PC.
Is there a way to save my text messages and contacts in my PC?
sms backup and restore

with dropbox, you should try that.
