Android SMS & MMS Backup

If you want to backup your SMSes and MMSes from your Android phone I found 2 apps to do this:

SMS Backup & Restore by Ritesh Sahu - Excellent for backing up your SMSes to an XML with included XSL file for easy reading in a webbrowser.
Save MMS by Andrew Schwimmer - Let you save MMS images one by one, ok if you don't have more than maximum a couple of hundred MMS images to save.

They both save data to your SD card which you can then copy when connecting your mobile to a computer or just pop in the SD card in a pc with a card reader.

Thx to for SMS backup: http://androidforums.com/htc-droid-incredible/281188-sms-mms-back-up.html,

Sending images in MMS messages with Froyo on Nexus One

Upgraded to Android 2.2 Froyo and suddenly can't send images in MMS messages? (Mine just said Sending in the message view and never changed to Sent)
The problem could likely be that the images are too large to be sent (carriers usually have a max limit on image size or upload is so slow the it can't finish with a large image) and Froyo dosen't resize the image like 2.1 Eclair did.

To send images you need to crop them first. This will create a new image from a subsection of the original. (Not destroy the image being cropped tho). Do like this:

Open Gallery and open the image you want to send. Press the More button and choose Crop. Select the portion of the image you want and press Save.
You will now have the original plus a new smaller image.

Then, for the new image, do like usual, press Share and Messaging or choose Menu and Attach from inside a message.
