[Guest Dan Jacobs]

Any recommendations on how I move my 1000+ SMS's from my old Hero to my Desire?

Thanks,

Dan

Install SMS Backup & Restore.

Make a backup on the Hero and move the sdcard to the Desire and do a restore.

Worked perfectly for me ;)

Could try SMS Backup & Restore from the Market. Exports them to an .xml file on your SD card.

I tried that first and it does not import. It sees the file but then just says :

Successful 0

Failed 0

Total 0

So it exports from the Hero but then won't import on the Desire?

correct, the export shows over 1000 sms's, but then it will not import...

Oooh, damn...tried any of the Gmail ones?

[Guest Jochr]

Weird, It worked fine for my 1563 sms messages.

I use "SMS backup". It won't transfer the msgs from hero to desire but you can transfer all your Hero messages to you gmail account under a "SMS" Lable. To access your old messages simply use Androids Gmail app. Then install "SMS backup" on your Desire and never loose another message!

I second the SMSBackup option - at least then if I break/lose my phone or have to wipe it, the messages are still in my gmail account. Also keeps my messages client nice and tidy!

I know though that some people like to keep all their messages in one place. Not sure of the best way to sync them, though once rooted it would be a simple case of copying over the message database.
