I have a Samsung Galaxy Prevail the model number is SPH-M820-BST and I am having some serious problems with my phones ability to copy SMS text messages to my computer or send them to my e-mail. I am having some problems with my land lord and I am trying to get a record of the text messages that she sent me but they are not copying properly, all of the messages copy except for a couple of really long important ones that she sent.

These are the programs that I have tried so far, SMS to text, Super Backup, SMS Backup+ (e-mailed to my gmail), SMS backup & restore. All of these programs have the exact same problem where they copy most of my texts except for a couple of the same really long ones that she sent. One thing I noticed is that for some reason my text messages are usually limited to 200 max per contact but for her its now at 207.

These text messages are really important for me to get my security deposit back, I've tried everything to no avail. Maybe I should use screen capture software?

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this? Any help would be much appreciated, thanks.
 
I've used MyBackup app in the past many times, not exactly for your purpose, but I found two things while messing with it.

It backs up long texts (multipart) perfectly
It stores them encoded, but if you View the text data it generates a temporary html file within its install folder.

That said ... How comfortable are you using a file explorer on your phone ?
 
I just did a quick google and have you tried Long pressing your power button? Apparently if you do that a menu pops up with an option to take a screenshot.
