Hello there,

First of all thanks for providing such an indispensable application.

I did not have any problems, until this August 8th.

My device is a Samsung I9300 with untouched official rom, Android 4.0.4 and my SMS Backup+ version is 1.4.5.

I'm using 2-way authentication in my Google account.

I can't backup due to this error:

Error during backup/restore: Command: SELECT "SMS"; response: #5# [NO, System, error, [Failure]]

Here is my log

E/k9      (23071): Unable to open connection for null:SMS/AsyncTask #2/conn1101984704

I have read FAQ, and I have tried all of the following, none of them solved my problem.

  • Switched to using plaintext authentication with an app-specific password
  • Reauthorized SMS Backup+ from Google Account
  • Tried to backup over VPN in case my connection is blocked
  • Cleared data of SMS Backup+
  • Uninstall/reinstall
  • Unchecked/checked SMS label visibility in Gmail IMAP, checked if its all uppercase and still available

My SMS is now stacking up in my inbox, please help me so I can continue backing up.

Thanks.

Best Regards

looks like this is a problem on google's side... can you connect via imap from another app? is the password for 2step auth set up correctly?

I switched to text auth and it worked ok on one droid, but not on the other

  • I also deleted an already existing SMS label in the connected gmail
    acct to not confuse the software.

The only thing I haven't done yet on the second droid is delete the SMS
label in the other gmail acct. Doing that soon for a second effort. Could
that be causing a problm?
