Hi,
So I pressed 'Restore' after losing all my messages and after it did it, it said successfully restored 5000 items (9000 dups). Those figures are rough, but the word 'dup' means duplicate does it not? Anyway, it only restored up to about February this year, even though I backed up the messages only last Thursday (24th November), and in the restore settings I have 'All messages restored' not a certain number.
I tried restoring again, and this time is said successfully restored 93 items (12000 odd dups). It did restore a few more messages, but not all. This is bugging me now. Also, I checked on my gmail account, and the messages are on there, so I don't know why they aren't fully restoring.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks

It appears that I am seeing the same issue as above. I recently changed phone from my trusty Dell Streak to shiny new Samsung Galaxy Note. After restoring my messages and call log there are quite a few obvious gaps. I have tried resetting and starting again a few times but the result is the same each time. When I run "restore" it starts by showing "Restoring xxx/xxx items..." but when it finishes it shows "Successfully restored xxx items (xxx dups)". It even shows some "dups" on the first restore after a phone "reset" (which can't be right).
