you mean the ones from 2014 that the backup thinks is 2015 or like the
actual backed up messages from for example sept 12 2015 ?

older messages back and emailed to Gmail ---how is this done or even
possible --- thank you

you could try the latest beta which reverses the restore order and limits the number of messages restored: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/releases/tag/1.5.11-BETA2

The lastest version does not seem to restore anything for me. It just says "Calculating..." no matter the restoration size I select.

1428 threads x 100 sms per thread, so roughly 15,000. I am not trying to restore all of them. Just the last 500, 200, then 100. None seem to work.

I'm just playing around with my filters/labels right now and seeing if that is what the issue is.

I suspect a timeout on the gmail side. I've seen this happen with lots of emails. Can you move the older emails to another folder? might help.

@Careless commented on GitHub (Nov 1, 2015):

I'll give that a shot, but the most common bug I've found to date since I started using this app years ago is still there. If I choose to do a backup or a restore, and I rotate the screen or go to a different menu and come back, the status indicator/bar says "idle" with a green check mark icon, and shows no status bar animation, or message. Yet the notification bar says "calculating" and continues to show this, and I cannot get rid of it unless I kill the app.

I always kill the app and try to restore again, because I'm not sure if the notification is another bug, and it just doesn't want to go away, or if the app is actually doing something.

Ok, so I moved a lot of the convos to "Archived SMS" and then moved 50 threads back into "SMS" label and it is working now.

I will try the 500 item restoration next.

If I keep doing 500 item restorations, does it keep appending 500 texts to the current ones that have been imported, or does it overwrite the 500 with the same messages?

nknuman, have you tried moving the sms threads that aren't restored to a new gmail label and then directing SMS Backup+ to restore from that new label only?
