Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/243

My phone was on stock Gingerbread Samsung ROM. I installed SMS Backup+ and backed up all messages, about 2000. Then I flashed a new Gingerbread ROM, DarkyROM. The app was still installed but my messages were gone as expected. So I went into the app and hit restore.

SMS Backup+ went through the whole process saying it was restoring messages. Then at the end it said something like "Restored 0 messages, 2000 dups". If I have no messages then how does it think I have dups??

I need to be able to restore my messages. I tried also marking 1 message as starred in Gmail and selecting the restore starred messages only. But trying to restore I got this "Restored 0 messages, 0 dups". Does that mean it tried nothing?

How does SMS Backup+ know which messages to restore and which ones not to? It doesn't seem to read the message database or whatever it is?

I had the same issue on Samsung Galaxy Nexus after switching to Jelly Bean.
I relaunched the procces the next day, my device was connected and set up to not turn to sleep (in dev options) and it restored all my messages.

Might be a bug with the sleep mode if the import is too long.
