Version 1.8.13 MMS

[jonkmanj]

All the contact/phone info from every MMS is still stripped out, so I can't tell who they're to or from. Also, I am missing messages. In one case, I have 52 messages on my phone from a phone number, but only have 2 on my computer.

[quote="dvjunk"]I installed 1.8.13 yesterday and updated my phone client to the latest also.
Moto G5Plus - Android 8.1.0
Synced over Bluetooth (and tried USB)
Synced to Outlook 365 ProPlus Version 1908
Win10 Enterprise (work laptop)

Everything seems to work fine except syncing messages. It loads the first 3000 or so quickly then slows way down. After some time (at least 15 min) it gets to about 5000 messages (out of 9000+) and over 100 MB and then crashes MPE.
Syncing again starts over with syncing messages (doesn't start from where it crashed) and crashes again. I tried USB as that is much faster for syncing (especially when I have a lot of photos) but that didn't seem to be any faster and gave the same results. Syncing messages only (vs my normal multi-sync) gives the same results.
I turned off message syncing for now and everything else seems great, and it does sync faster than before.

Thanks for this great program... I've been using it for many years and donated several times... appreciate all of your efforts!!![/quote]

Ditto here - but on my Moto z3 running Android 9. I disabled the default Google Messenger app on my phone, installed Textra (highly recommended) and deleted all but a max of 25 messages per thread leaving about 150 messages. My phone syncs now - and after the first sync it is amazingly fast for all categories doing multi-sync.

Great program, thanks for keeping it growing. And I was reminded to make another donation, which I just did (also highly recommended)!

Messages archive not showing all archived messages. Has the file name been changed? I can see a file called SMSArchive.dat in AppData but this has not been updated since 18 March - day before I updated to 1.8.13. Is there an esy way to restore these messages?

FJ work hard on this and solutions are coming. I got it work now and all MMS are downloaded correctly at least for me.
For the moment install the https://www.fjsoft.at/files/MyPhoneExplorer_DebugUpdate.exe at PC for stability and speed , and later look for update of the app in phone.

Hello,
the same for me: sync MMS is very long (3404 messages and crash near 107 M).
For the moment, I come back to 1.8.12 version, wating correction.

Thank's for this very usefull software.

Hi,

03/25/20 9:22am - I installed the Beta mentioned by DagSa earlier and it FIXED everything EXCEPT the sync of the mms/sms is slow but thank you!!!! Hopefully you can get the speed fixed.

I HOPE YOU ARE ALL WELL, we here in Massachusetts are just rising on the curve so we a all huddled down in our houses but all is well for my family... so far.

Same for me, Only thing I can sync now is the phone, Organizer, Notes, Call Logs. Everything else now crashes. Samsung 8 Android.

I installed the Debug Update and then did a sync of my messages. It was fast AND complete and looks to have all the text and images. Thank you!

I do so much appreciate this great set of software. Time to go make another contribution!

[Bellegarde]

Upgrade to version 1.8.13.
The sync works except for the new MMS function.
MMS files are downloaded, the new icon appears when necessary but no text or images are visible.
It will be great when this feature is OK.

SAMSUNG A8
Android V9

New sync on a SONY M4 phone. Android V5.
Sync made from a new profile.
Successful synchronization for SMS and MMS. Duration: 10 minutes.
The local copy on the computer must therefore be reset (arrow icon 2)
Setting up debug version.
New sync for SMS and MMs. Duration: 5 minutes.
You're on the right track.
Thank you for this good program.

jal3, I was just thinking the same, I have not found a more comprehensive program out there and now with mms, it tops all!

[highroad]

Same issues here. At about 7200 out of 9700 messages, sync slows to a crawl and then eventually crashes the program. I don't see any MMS items upon relaunching. Had to roll back to 1.8.12.

Again, the current beta of the PC-Software will fix the crashing issue: https://www.fjsoft.at/files/MyPhoneExpl ... Update.exe
The beta for the Android-Client should fix the missing data problems, please download and install: https://www.fjsoft.at/mpeclient.apk

When the betas are installed then press the second button in the messages view (Download entire).

If you have still issues even with the betas then contact me via email and describe your issue. Its not possible to reproduce this issues on my phone so to say it clear: If you want to get things fixed then get in touch with me, otherwise i will make another update with unfixed bugs in it.

Hi FJ,

Your recommended solution worked for me, thank you. And yes it does indeed seems faster. The MMS entries worked, with name, number and text part visible. Nice feature to have the MMS content backed up inline.

Furthermore, after using the Download Entire first, the sync button also seems to work too.

Once again thank you for your ongoing support / development.

Cheers,
Ron

I haven't installed the beta yet but I tried three times today having just upgraded to 1.8.13 and it crashed at 1482 messages and at 107.38 M just like you and having gone slow near the end as well.

edit.....

I just installed the beta and I'm not sure if my phone installed the apk but it looks like all is working now. Photos attached to messages and download was super fast.

Thank you so much.

Ever since the first mms/sms sync the sync has been really fast and the program does not crash anymore. Thanks!!!

I just go the notice for the new version of desktop app 1.8.14 so I downloaded and installed it and updated the phone client to the latest 1.0.72.
I ran a multi-sync and everything seemed to work OK.

Thanks!

Hello,
I installed the 1.8.14 and I can't sync the MMS. It only syncs the SMS.
Do I need to activate any option to synchronyse MMS?
If it is needed, where is the option?
I apologize because of my bad english language.
Thank you

I think you need to temporary enable debug in phone to make the install of apk in phone. Someone else need to explain or google it.

Correction: Latest Android client app are at Google Play since april 28, version 1.0.73. No need for beta.

I'm on 1.8.14 (the nightly from 2020-05-14) on the computer and 1.0.73 on the phone, and syncing mms works fine, but I have a related problem:

MPE crashes if I try to include messages (with mms) from the phone when creating a backup.

All of the ~120 MB of message data is successfully fetched from the phone, but I'm guessing that the very next step in the backup procedure (serializing the data to the mpb file?) is where it fails.

This only happens with my girlfriend's phone, having several thousand messages at as I said ~120 MB total including mms.

No problem with my own phone, but I don't have nearly as many messages and the total amoung of data including mms is a lot lower.

I'm currently using a work-around to only include the message archive from the computer in the backup, which works fine.
