What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Backup from an old phone to the cloud
2. Try to restore to a new phone running KitKat

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Call logs are restored OK, but SMS isn't, despite reporting that 'restored 1361 
of 1361'

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Backing up on Nexus 1 running Android 2.3.6.

Restoring to a Nexus 5 running Android 4.4.

Please provide any additional information below.

This could be user error in terms of I'm not that familiar with the new UI and 
the way Hangouts is the new SMS app in this version of Android, but I suspect 
it might be related to the way only a single app can be registered to write to 
the SMS database at a time [1], [2].

... for thoe, that cannot use google market

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I am unable to convert the saved file format
2. I tried to change it as a text file but I am looking to save it into SQLite 
db table
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would like to save the file in the SQLite database.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I am using Android 2.1 version and API 7

Please provide any additional information below.
I would like to import the saved file into SQLite database and play games with 
queries.Can you please help me out with this ? 

Feature Request: It would be great if LifeSaver saved all the data to my Google 
account either in 
GMail or using the Docs Upload API. This would let me have multiple backups 
(with timestamps) 
from multiple phones and would protect me from the inevitable moment when I 
accidentally break 
my new and my old phone.

I'm using Cyanogenmod 7.2 (Android 2.3.7)
I've installed lifesaver2 from f-droid app

When I click on "Save your life" button, the following message appears:

Horrible error while engaged in life-saving: Saved life is unreadable.

What should I check?

I'd like it lifesaver backed up my user dictionary as well. I hate having to 
teach my phone new words :)

My cloud data backup has been up for at least a month now and hasn't been 
deleted. The app says that it should be deleted every 2 hours. I would really 
prefer that my data not be left in this database indefinitely.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Restore a LifeSaver backup on the stock HTC Tattoo Android 1.6 ROM

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expect it to restore the call log from the LifeSaver backup. It instead halts 
with an error indicating that the permission READ_PHONE_STATE was not assigned.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Lifesaver 2 from Android Marketplace.

Please provide any additional information below.
The stock Lifesaver app works fine in third-party ROMs for the HTC Tattoo. It 
just does not work on the stock ROM for me. My solution for this problem was to 
add the permission READ_PHONE_STATE in the manifest.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Save data
2. Restore data
3. Try to exit

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I would expect to exit, but instead the app brought me back to previous stages 
of the app.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?


Please provide any additional information below.

What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Backup old phone (G1)
2. Restore to new phone (Nexus One)
3. The new phone wasn't completely clean; it had some SMSes and calls already. 
Not sure if that's a factor, but including for completeness anyway.
4. Open up the Messaging app on the Nexus One.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Call log and SMSes are imported fine. But SMSes are not sorted in date order 
(call log is though). All of the imported content appears to have the current 
datetime as the time of the latest message.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

LifeSaver 2 (0.9), from the Market, on a Nexus One running Froyo 2.2 (FRF91)

Please provide any additional information below.

Workaround: Open and closing each SMS thread seems to be sufficient to get the 
phone to read the relevant part of the thread and sort them as expected. That 
takes 5-10 minutes for the volume of content I have, but feels like something 
the app should be able to do?

Otherwise, I'm a very happy user, thanks!

I think a lot of phone without SDCARD can still write to a flash partition 
which is mounted in SDCARD by default.
I prefer to have those informations backed up in my SDCARD rather than in the 
cloud as I'm a little bit concerned with the fear that attacked you ^^'

Thanks anyway for this app since it really helped me a lot ;)

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Tap "Save your life."
2. Tap "OK" after save is complete.
3. Press back button.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected result is for the app to exit. Instead it goes back to the screen 
displaying the completed "life saving".

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
LifeSaver2, Android 2.3.7 (also occurs on CyanogenMod 7.1)

Please provide any additional information below.
It may sometimes be useful to see again the results of the last save or 
restore, but it is an inconsistent use of the back button. Pressing the back 
button from the main activity at first start up results in returning to the 
home screen.

It cause an input loop: save a life, tap ok, press back to exit (as it worked 
when the app was first started), see the "life saved" screen again, tap ok 
again to be sure nothing went wrong, press back to exit, see the "life saved" 
screen again, repeat.

Possible solutions could be:
-Clear the activity stack when the main activity is loaded.
-Override the back button to always exit the app when pressed on the main 
activity.
