   Hello, congratulations for your blog, it’s fantastic!

   And your software for sms export!

   I have a question… I have been looking for an aplication to recover a backup of the sms that we have created previously. Does it exists? If not, it would be great for me a method to pass sms from one handy to other.

   Thank you very much for your answer!!!

    Great software.

    I stumbled upon it and I find it extremely easy to use.

    I’m using it with my nokia E90, after downloading the software and installing it the icon was visible in Menu –>Installations.

    It works with my Nokia E90.

    I’d advise you start over again after un-installing the previous MsgExport .

    Really exciting software and it’s free!!!!

    Please keep up the good job.

    Could you pint me to other software you’ve developed.

    This application appears to be sooo close to exactly what I need. The only issue is that the time stamps appear to be 7 hours late. For example, if I have a message with a stamp of 11:25am, in the export, it appears as 6:25pm. This is consistent throughout the export. I am in the Pacific time zone, which puts the time zone that it’s synchronizing to one hour short of GMT, if that helps. Thanks for your efforts!

    I have sugestion:
    Can you make it in csv format so i can import it in excel and archive it. You can also put option for archive conversation between choosen person and owner. I use your app for that. Now I solve it with access and SQL queries but not many people know how to do it.

    Thanks.

    Hello,
    great app as for regexport.
    I wolud like to run one of them (or both) everytime i switch the mobile on.I took a look at powerboot,but i wanted them to run silently.
    EG run,do the task,close.
    Is there any way or any switch to do that?
    If has to be programmed,i would be pleased to donate something.
    I need such an app,but it does not exist,as far as i know.
    THank you.

22. on 30 May 2008 at 10:54 pm22babbaluba

    hi,

    would be so good to have a export which includes sms from all individually, manually created user-defined-folders. my nokia has the feature to create own folders and one can move messages there, but there is no chance to control these folders or contents with a pc or software…

    would help a lot an make your tool even more leading edge:-)

    thanks in advance!

    If I export the sms in the log file, my sms will be deleted from the phone?
    Or is it just an extra copy?

    I’m sorry but I’m almost maniacal with my sms, I can’t loose them

    Hi yohanes, I want to say your MsgExport is absolutely a fantacty tool comparing with other stupid similiar tools.
    But i found one problem, why the data and time of the SMS after export is all not the same as the phone’s.
    for example , the SMS in the export file: 2008/1/11 1:00:56 pm. Actually the time is 21:02 pm on my phone.
    Do you encounter the same problem? How can I solve it, thanks!

40. on 02 Mar 2009 at 3:09 pm40yohanes

    @Joby

    I think it has something to do with your phone’s TimeZone setting. Change it and re-export.

41. on 02 Mar 2009 at 3:13 pm41Joby

    yohanes, thanks,

    forget to tell you, I am in China. And I have checked that the timezong setting is right, and selected China.

42. on 02 Mar 2009 at 3:39 pm42yohanes

    Try changing to different timezone, so that the output is correct, then return back to your correct timezone.

    I still don’t know why it happens on some phone.

    msgexport does not work on my nokia 5630 express music – it just hangs while the progression bar pretends to export, but even after one hour nothing is exported. Your logexport program however works fine. Are you planning to build a new version?

58. on 09 May 2010 at 11:23 am58Angaelus

    There’s a problem if the phone’s clock is set to use 24 hour time. The times in the export will still be in 12 hour format, but missing the AM/PM. This is easily fixed by changing it to 12 hour format, but I figured it was worth mentioning here. This is necessary, for example, to use with Piotr Kucharski’s MsgExport2SMSBackupRestore python script.

    Hi Yohanes,

    Many thanks to you for creating this great application, which I used frequently in the past few months to backup my messages before deletion. Recently however, It is taking over 2 hours to make a single backup of my SMS database. I cannot pinpoint the reason but I have all in all about 1800 messages in total. I tried SMSExporter as well, which is doing the backup in less than 5 minutes. I have a Samsung SGH-i500w running S60 V3. This full backup used to take take less than 10 minutes in the past. Would you have any suggestions on tackling this issue?

    Many thanks!

63. on 26 Jun 2010 at 1:25 am63Informatico91

    Your program is outstanding. Until now it was the only one to meet my needs. But now I noticed a problem. The time of messages in the log goes back to two hours before. For example, if a message has arrived at 12:15:05 he really makes me look like if it had arrived at 10:15:05. The settings on the time are all correct. And ‘result to you or the same defect may depend on something in my nokia n73?
    I write from italy. It may be that the problem is with the time zone as it is set to rome?

64. on 28 Jun 2010 at 7:56 pm64yohanes

    @angaelus i have fixed the time issue

    @khiang @Sindib I don’t know what can be the cause of it. I have used all the optimal algorithms for creating the backup. One posibility is that the SD card is too fragmented. May be you can backup your SD card to your computer, format it, then try again?

    @Informatico91 Please try the new version

    @fling please try the new version. It works in s60v5. You will get warning about “application may not be compatible”, just continue.

    Hello everyone! Some time ago I signaled a bug in the program. Now, after a long time that do not use it, I noticed another bug. I have a nokia n73. Briefly, if a conversation with a contact begins with a message ‘sent’, the program will export messages from the first message received. Example: I write “Hello” and the contact says, “Hello.” In this case, the program begins to export messages from “Hello” received from the contact without exporting the “Hello” that I sent. Same thing happens with this example: I write “Hello.” Without having received answer yet, I’ll write another thing, “How are you?”. Then the contact replies, “Hello, I’m fine ..”. In this case the program does not export either “Hello” and neither “How are you?”. In both examples, beginning with the first message received, those submitted are normally exported. The situation, however, it happens again the same day, if I first send a message. I do not know but after all that. If you need more detail, I am at your disposal!

72. on 29 Oct 2010 at 11:37 pm72Informatico91

    Hello everyone. I’m still, waiting for something new .. could, gently, the creator of the application or the person who has released the latest version of the application, contact me by e-mail or posting a comment here. I would like to give more precise details on what was said in my comment a month ago about the problem encountered in the application. I want this because I believe very much in this application and in its great usefulness and simplicity. And with this problem, it loses a little … I await a reply! Thanks ..

74. on 20 Nov 2010 at 4:34 am74Informatico91

    Hello everyone .. I have an update! Re-explain the problem. If a conversation with a contact begin with a message sent, the message is saved in the html file in another part, along with other messages of the same type (that is sent first), sent to the same contact. Answer me please. Let me know if you can do something to solve this problem!
