Text message transfer to N8

Hey guys, I tried many times and can't get around this problem. So I have about 5500 messages on my N97 and want to transfer them to N8 but when it try the phone switch and transfer them with Bluetooth it literally takes for ever, last time I tried it transferred like 30 in 5 minutes, is there anyway I can make it go faster? Also tried to backup my messages on Ovi suit and PC suite, well on PC suit it gives me an error saying there is not enough memory(On the PC suite application on my computer) and it backs it up short, only 1000 I think and in OVI suit, I backed it up fine but when tried to restore, it did it and took some time but nothing happened, number of txt messages didn't change. Anyone has a easier way to do this?
Nokia N80
Nokia N82
Nokia N97
Nokia N8 Dark Gray- RM-596

If anyone runs into problems transferring messages from their previous phone to the N8, I managed to sort my ones out from i8910 (s60 v5).
I used the latest version of pc suite, which places messages into conversations like on the N8.
Now I had like 50 Drafts, which didn't sync, so instead its best to manually do each folder manually.
Connect S60 V5 or older phone, give it some time to load the phone previous.  You will see messages without syncing, on the phone section below the pc suite copy.  If it didn't sync some folders, then disconnect and connect again.  You can move the inbox first, from inbox > inbox (in pc)
Connect N8 & again manually select all the items from inbox & drag back into phone.  Repeat this process per folder.  You may need to get creative, like if it doesn't show up, then clear your inbox in the old phone once all messages transferred & for example select all drafts from drafts (on phone) and move to inbox & repeat.
Got my one sorted in about 10 minutes for about 200 messages. Including folders.

  • HT201269 If i transfer everything to my new iphone will my text messages transfer also?

    If i transfer everything to my new iphone by itunes and back everything up will my text messages transfer also?

    Yes.  I suggest doing the backup/restore to itunes, not icloud.  But before doing the backup, also back up to icloud as a safety measure.  If icloud restore has problems (but often icloud restores have more problems), then do the restore from icloud.

  • When transferring from a 3GS to a Iphone 5, will my old text messages transfer?

    I'm transferring from a 3GS to a new IPhone 5. Will my old text messages and emails transfer via the cloud or from my computer?
    Thanks.

    "Messages (iMessage and carrier SMS or MMS pictures and videos)."
    The messages should transfer, and the emails are attached to the email server so your inboxes will come back as well.

  • Iphone 3gs text message transfer

    Hi, my little sister passed away at Christmas and I am trying to safe and/or transfer her text messages on my iphone 3gs, I have a 7 yr old MacBook.  Sorry I am a bit of a 'techno donut'!! Any advice greatly appreciated. Thank you, Livvy

    Hi Livvy,
    If you need another option to save the text messages, I've used decipher text message in the past to save my mom's messages when she passed away. I also took screenshots at the time too just to be safe since I was afraid about losing the info. Hope whatever way you go that you are able to save your sisters info.

  • Text Message Transfer

    Hi,
    My iPhone 3GS will arrive in a matter of days. I would like to know if messages and contacts could be transfered via the SIM card? I'm currently on SE G900, Symbian OS v9.1.
    If not, is there anyway that i can perhaps like, type a txt file or something with the contact/date/time whatever intact and sync via itunes?
    thanks all!

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
    You will be able to sync your contacts from the iTunes window. Your iPhone will come with instructions on how to set it up.
    I'm not certain you can transfer data from a Sony cell phone or not. Best bet is to use iTunes to sync all your data.

  • How can I transfer my saved text messages from one phone to another?

    I have a Blackberry Curve 9320 and recently it began malfunctioning, so I have been sent a replacement of the same model. My problem is that I can transfer things like photos and contacts easily enough but I want to know if there's a way of keeping the text messages that I'd saved on the previous phone and putting them on the new one, any ideas?

  • How do I save/ transfer text messages on my droid maxx... with a black screen.

    My screen has gone black and my new phone is on the way. I managed to get some pictures off but am not sure how to get the messages. Will this transfer with the sim card?

    No, the SIM doesn't store text messages.  An app might do what you need - you can install it on your computer, link/sync it to your phone, and grab the messages that way. 
    sms backup and restore - Google Play

    You can transfer purchases, but that will only transfer music purchased through iTunes. You won't be able to get any third party music or music from CDs back onto iTunes without going and getting them from wherever you got them again

  • Transfer iphone 4s to z2? where do I find text messages?

    i have just purchased a Z2 and used the sony bridge and the cable to attempt to transfer photos, etc.  Everything seems to have worked, however my text messages are still blank.  It completes with no errors and i have everything ticked.  i've tried ticking just the messages part.  still can't find any of my text / mms messages on Z2?? 

    Hi there,
    I have received my phone yesterday. First the Sony Bridge for Mac software said that it was not possible to transfer data to Z2. Later on it came back with another Sony Bridge for Mac installation (I guess it was a kind of update) and then I tried it again and this time it did not complain about my Z2 and transfered my data. I am able to find my messages under messaging app with icon, but I was not able to find my notes. I had to move my notes from Mac to Gmail and sync it via Gmail.

  • HT201694 My dad & I both have iPhone 5s. He no longer uses his & my screen is cracked. If I switch our SIM cards, what data will be lost? It is important for me to save/transfer all photos, video, & *especially* text messages.

    My dad & I both have iPhone 5s. He no longer uses his & my screen is cracked. If I switch our SIM cards, what data will be lost? It is important for me to save/transfer all photos, video, & *especially* all text messages. When the SIM cards are swapped between phones, will any of these things be lost/deleted?

    Thank you! I would prefer not to wipe his phone. My cracked screen iPhone still works, so I would ideally like to put his SIM card in my phone for occasional use. As mentioned, he is not using his iPhone anymore for phone calls, but would like to maintain access to photos, video, and all texts. As I use an iPhone for calls, trading the cracked screen is ideal. If I am able to switch them without losing data, I will, but am afraid to do so if there is a chance that any data will be erased. (I'm not sure if the photos, video, and -namely- texts are saved to the actual SIM card. Can text messages be backed up?
    iPhone do not store anything on the sim.
    Photos should be saved on computer like any other digital camera.
    You can restore the backup for your dad as well as for yourself while swapping phones.
