Hey,

I've noticed my Nexus 6 stopped backing up for past ~2 weeks (since 6.x release?).

I've now moved to a N6P, and there I can't restore at all (IO errors).

While backing up the missing SMSes (and SMS Backup+ starting from scratch when I relinked my account), I've noticed a lot of error happen every so often: either Timeout issues (Android putting the app in sleep mode?) or IO errors.

Log:

Any idea what might be the cause ?

Speed is also really slow and it seem to hang at the same sms number for minutes on end (why I requested a new backup while it was apparently still running).

It's on WiFi. Keeps happening almost all the time.

It's also not reliably backing up.

Seems android related ?

I have also restored all text messages, but they don't appear in the sms messenger app at all.

The app acquires a Wifi lock to make sure the connection does not go away. Somehow this is not working correctly on your device. Not sure why.
