Sms-backup-plus: SMS Autobackup on nougat not working
Hi - SMS autobackup doesn't seem to be happening on the latest version of Andriod (nougat). I really liked this feature, so if you could fix it that would awesome.

I am having the same problem with v1.5.10 running on Android 5.1 (Meizu M3s).
"Regular schedule" and "Incoming schedule" give the following error: "isConnection failed; ENETUNREACH". However manual backup by pressing the button works perfectly.

I think if you go to battery settings, battery optimizations, and set SMS Backup+ to "Not optimized" it will resume backing up automatically without delay.

I have this problem as well, just changed the setting. Is there a code change that needs to be made here?

I've modified the power-saving features so this app is not 'optimised' for power saving, but hasn't fixed the problem.

Problems lead to Solutions.
To get Android nougat to allow SMS backup to automatically backup, change this setting with these steps:
Settings, device maintenance, Battery, unmonitored apps, add apps, add "SMS Backup+" .
See screenshots to help assist you in this.

It won't let me leave a screenshot. Okay. But you get the picture.

gaiuslove none of the settings labels you're referring to in your post marry up to the setting I have.

I have Android 7.1.1, and that is the process by which my SMS backup's automatic backup started to work again.

gaiuslove any chance you could take the screenshots and put them in a document and share via dropbox or similar?

Now it's letting me leave a screen shot. I'm on my laptop now, not on my phone as before:

Please try the new beta: https://github.com/jberkel/sms-backup-plus#beta
It should work without changes to the unmonitored apps configuration

When I click on Google Play to install it, it says it's already installed. Will it work if I uninstall my current version of SMS back up and install this one?

gaiuslove if you read through the Beta Testing section of the page, it explains how to become a beta tester.

@gaiuslove have you signed up for the beta program in Google Play? If so, it should push you an update soon (mine just showed up). If not, you need to scroll to the bottom of the app page in Play and click the sign up button.

This has been added to the 1.6.0 milestone - I think the idea is to figure out how to ensure that the sleep doesn't affect the automatic backup.
@jberkel is that what you're thinking? I think we should update the title of this issue or fold it into a meta issue around this topic as this is just an unclear bug report

@jcrben it looks like a duplicate issue and should be merged

Google play just offered me the (once beta) 1.5.11 and I installed the update. When updating it, I also opted into the beta testing program. Has this (doesn't automatically back-up while phone is sleeping) bug been corrected in 1.5.11, (I guess I will soon see, as I now have 1.5.11), or will it be corrected in 1.6.0 ?
