Brilliant app.

However on Samsung Galaxy Note II sms's are logged as calls. So essentially unusable on that device. Would imagine it has to do With Samsung's way of integrating SMS in the call list..

Confirmed on Note 2. My Call Log tag is full of 0:00 incoming and outgoing calls that are actually SMS's. Going to be miserable deleting all those.

The way I filter these after they're backed up is to search: "label:call-log 0s" and delete all. This won't delete missed calls as they have no time.

Sadly, I've discovered this filter also deletes real outgoing calls where the party never answered. There may be no way to distinguish these from an outgoing text message saved as a 0s call.

I found a partial solution. In call log, go to settings, View By, All Calls (instead of All Logs, which it periodically switches back to) and then run backup. Only calls will be backed up.

Also having this on Samsung Relay running Android 4.0.4. I thought I was having the issue with no incoming texts being backed up; turns out they're just being seen as incoming calls.
