Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/377

A couple months ago, after an update from Google Play, the app no longer backs up messages either automatically or on a regular schedule. Backups will complete perfectly if done manually. Current settings are: regular schedule=never, incoming schedule=3mins. Using a Galaxy Nexus with Android 4.2.2. Log file shows only entries for manual backups, nothing for automatic ones.

Edit: Well, now I'm confused. It did some backups on its own nine days after my last manual backup, and it didn't have any info about the automatic ones in the debugging log. It seems like it worked for a couple hours one day, then stopped as abruptly as it began. Nothing in the log.

I think I have the same problem on Nexus 5 Android 4.4.2. Manual backups always work. Automatic backups sometime fail with a notification. I'll provide details when it next happens.

Definitely failing to do automatic backups. Probably all the time.
Manual backups failing.

Still falling on 1.5.5 on Nexus 5 Android 4.4.2. Manual backups work always. Automatic probably don't every work
