I'm rocking a HTC incredible running CyanogenMod-7.0.3 which is version 2.3.3 of Android. I have not needed to do a restore of text messages for quite a while, and have verified that backups are functioning normally. However today when I went to restore I began running into issues.

The app functions normally when in the restore settings "All" messages is selected. However since I have 25,000 messages backed up I do not want to do a full restore.

I select to backup 500, 200, or 100 texts, and only sms messages. What happens is, I click Restore, it logs into my account and hangs up on the "Calculating" phase, and does not progress to restoring messages.

Here is a link to the logcat:

Hope someone can help, or if you need more info let me know.
Thanks!

I am having the same issue! I am using MIUI (Android 2.3.7). I did can't seem to restore any messages no matter what I try.
I couldn't restore 100, or 200, or 500. I thought I give ALL a try. So I moved all my old messages that I don't need to an SMSARCHIVE folder, and kept the ones I needed (less than 500 messages). It fails after "Calculating" for like a good solid 5 minutes with an "Error during backup/restore. IO Error".

However it won't write anything in the log file.

Thanks
