Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/192

I use a Samsung Galaxy 5 with a Eclair (2.1) installed. All messages sent and received until April have been backed up perfectly in a separate Gmail folder. But thereafter, only outgoing messages would back up, it hasn't backed up any incoming texts since then. I need over a 1000 very important texts need to back up asap!

Would appreciate some help here.
Thanks!

If it's really important use another app to backup to SD card so long...

Same problem. Since mid-Sept only my sent SMS messages are backing up to gmail. Any received SMSs are not backed up. This was probably when I upgraded from Android Gingerbread to ICS (SE Arc - official Sony update). Since then I have tried moving app to phone, uninstalling and reinstalling app, and even resetting and backing up all SMS messages again. No luck. Please fix. See also issue #147.

Same her now. Probably after upgrading to android 4.1.2, and a device factory reset. Only sent SMS are backed up.
