This is a great program, easy to use and exactly what I was looking for.

One thing only, could you update this to work with the new version of Ovi, “Nokia Suite”? Maybe just giving the option to select the Nokia Suite directory instead of Nokia Ovi Suite one would be enough.

@ ARX

in the first time i face that problem too.
solution:
1.open SMS backup & Restore
2.tap backup
3.the program will offer a name for the backup , just tap ok
4.backup file + folder created
5.connect phone to pc
6.search *.xml in your phone
7.after you find the xml file that your phone created ( you will find the folder you were looking for)
8.delete it and replace with the xml file created by nokia2androidsms
9. back to SMS backup & Restore
10. restore it
11. done

hello,

@dinj
@nanz

the first try :
problem i got was the same problem that dinj & nanz got. nokia2androidsms only produced 1 kb xml file which is unusable & receive no error message. i use win 7 & nokia ovi ver 3.1… that time.

second try :
this time i use different computer which use win xp & nokia ovi ver 3.1….
this time i get the same problem that dinj get & i receive error message : “No messages exported. Did you forget to synchronize you phone messages with OVI?”

solution:
it’s the nokia ovi ver3.1… that is not compatible with nokia2androidsms program
use ovi ver 2.2 download from website that nanz mentioned above :http://www.afterdawn.com/software/system_tools/manage_external_devices/nokia_ovi_suite.cfm/v2_1

This app doesn’t work with the latest version of Nokia OVi Suite. Can you update the application if not share the code, I will do it?

Awesome. Just used OVI 2.1 version and was able to get the “sms_All Phones.xml” file. So I am half way done. Now just have to upload it to Galaxy S2. I can’t see and folder on my Galaxy S2 for SMS backup & Restore when I access the phone through Computer. In fact I don’t see any applications.

Where should I copy the “sms_All Phones.xml” file to access it through SMS backup & Restore application?

I need your help really bad. I have over 5000 text messages in Nokia 5800 that I am trying to transfer to Samsung Galaxy S2. I downloaded the latest version of Nokia Ovi. I was able to MDataStore.db3 file which is 3.46MB. Then I tried running Nokia2AndroidSMS.exe file. It shows “DataStore 1″ and udder Phone IMEI it shows “All Phones”. Whenever I run it, it creates “sms_All Phones.xml” file which is only 59 bytes.

I also ran the file by dragging the “MDataStore.db3″ file to “Nokia Ovi Stores” section of Nokia2SMS utility but get the same result with “sms_All Phones.xml” file. The file says:

I tried using the procedures on both Windows XP and Windows Vista with the same results. Any help will be much more appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

@Chin
Thank you, I was really struggling to export these messages (I got a SGS2 and didn’t like to lose all my old SMS). I really couldn’t figure out where the problem was, then I read your message about the issue with newest OVI Suite, so I installed and old one (2.1.1.1) too, and it worked like a charm. Thanks again. And thanks to Miha too, of course!

Miha,

Do you still intend to update the application? I tried doing what Chin suggested in posts 83/84 as I have the same problem as he did, but for some reason this created more problems for me then it solved. I started getting sync issues and the only thing that resolved it was installing the Nokia Suite 3.2.64 Beta.

Hi, probably a really basic question/problem, because I’m not at all tech-savvy, but hope you can help.
I’ve got to step 1. Install SMS Backup & Restore. When I connect my phone to the PC I don’t get any selection, so can’t select Disk drive as connection type?
I also can’t work out how to complete step 3 ???
‘3.Copy the xml file into the SMSBackupRestore Folder on the phone, create it if it’s not already there’ Is this maybe because I haven’t selected Disk drive as connection type?

I’ve managed to complete step ‘4. Run SMS Backup & Restore and import messages’ but this has only backed up and restored the few new SMS I’ve received after switching to SGS2 phone from Nokia E51.

Thanks!

hello Miha,

could you please make Nokia2AndroidSMS.exe for Ovi 3.1? This is the only way, I can get my SMS to the new phone. I tried several otherways…. nothing worked…. It will be extremly helpful, if i can convert my .db3 file to .xml version and then use Ritesh’s (the android app developer’s) app to get them to my phone.

Thank you so much….

Ritesh

Hi, Transferring messages from my Nokia c5-00 to my HTC Desire HD. It seems I got all of the messages onto the Desire, but alot of the messages that were from other people now say they were sent by me, and alot of the time stamps are wrong, eg. instead of (me) (them) (me) (them) it is (me) (me) (them) (them), if that makes sense. Any help would be great.
Thanks.

Thanks for this great program!
It works all fine except for the fact that it doesn’t convert all my messages into an .xml-file (2000 out of 2400). I already changed the folder where my messages are to be stored on my nokia, but still some sms are missing.

Any explanation or help for this problem?

Whenever I click convert a msg pops say “No Messages exported. Did you forget to syncronize your phone messages with OVI”!!

I’m 100% sure I synchronized my messages as the OVI app confirmed it successfully.

Can some one help and advice how to over come this?
