Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus/issues/925

Before you report your issue, please consider perusing the https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus#faq and searching the issues page to see if it has already been reported.

Expected behaviour: Expect text messages to be backed up 1 minute after receiving them.

Actual behaviour: No items are being backed up automatically. If I click the Backup button it backs up the items without any issues.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour: Send a text message and then it is not backed up.

Please specify the following:

Android version: 8.0.0
Phone model / brand: Samsung S7
SMS Backup+ version installed: 1.5.11
Messaging app: Downloaded 'Messages' app with blue icon

I've been reading around and wondered if you've updated to use the new API calls for Oreo?

I installed Tasker and tried to do a profile and task using the 3rd party integration as well as running the intent script. I can see the jobs running in the logs but it still doesn’t backup the messages. Only a manual trigger is working. Is there any other work around?

I've also tried using 3 different messaging apps. Two called Messages and one called Pulse. Still won't backup without manual intervention.

Automatic backup doesn't work on Moto G6 Andriod 8. Manual back works.

Android version: 9
Phone model / brand: Google Pixel XL (version 1)
SMS Backup+ version installed: 1.5.11
Messaging app: native 'Messages' app with blue icon

I'm having the same problem on my phone. It has apparently been a problem for a long while. I just had to replace my phone the middle of December, and that is what brought this to my attention. I've tried to follow the FAQ, but Android 9 does not seem to have a "battery optimization" settings option for apps. Manual backup works fine; only automatic backup just doesn't seem to even try. The only entries in the sms_backup_plus.log are are few sequences of:
-backup requested (manual)
-starting backup (manual)
-backing up
-backing up
-backup finished
with appropriately matching timestamps.

@egburr that's interesting - I switched over to a Google Pixel 2 XL with Android 9 this past December also and my SMS backup works. Kerenel 4.4.116. SMS Backup+ 1.5.11

I'm using PulseSMS - you might consider trying other messaging apps to see if that helps.

Thanks everyone for the feedback.

Using the new Oreo JobScheduler API is on the roadmap.

I'm marking this as a duplicate of #758 just so we can track one issue and keep all the feedback in one place.
