Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/840

I observed that version 1.5.11-BETA12 only backed up the last 500 call logs, while I have more on my phone. Considering that there is a setting for the amount of SMS messages being backed up, which defaults to 500: Could it be that there is the same default value for call logs, but no menu to change it?

Yes, this was changed as part of #586. For call logs, I need to check.

Actually, #586 is about the restore count, so it doesn't apply.

I have some additional information now:
New calls are backed up as expected, giving me ~520 calls in my IMAP folder. Also I was able to restore all of them (checked newest, oldest and some random samples) , so I confirm it's not the restore count but backup up count only.

@Woi the setting is called "Items per backup" and applies to all item types (added together). The default should be "All".

It was set to "All", since SMS were completely backed up.

I too get only 500 call logs in the backup. I read somewhere that android has a call log limit of 500, but going by dates I definitely have many more calls in my phone's call log than what is backed up. Using version 1.5.11.
