I am trying to export my text messages and my contacts from a cell phone(an Adroid Samsung Galaxy mini and a Sony Ericsson w810i) to my ubuntu laptop.
Firstly I tried using Wammu and I was easily able to export my text messages from the Sony Ericsson W810i(not android phone).
When it comes to the Android Samsung I cannot even retrieve the messages let alone export them, however I can retrieve every calls and only the contacts that are saved in SIM card.
I also tried with Xgnokii which for some reason cannot start up as well as gMobileMedia which states that my phone is not supported.
I also tried with gnome-phone-manager but what I get is
thanos@thanos-laptop:~$ gnome-phone-manager
** (gnome-phone-manager:14036): CRITICAL **: bluetooth_chooser_button_set_property: assertion `bluetooth_verify_address (g_value_get_string (value)) || g_value_get_string (value) == NULL' failed
** Message: New connection device is empty (not changed)
** Message: New connection device is empty (not changed)
** Message: No device!
** Message: Exiting connect thread
I also tried other ports, but no phone can be found.
The only way to see my messages is via the android application airdroid, but I am not able to save my messages and contacts in my PC.
Is there a way to save my text messages and contacts in my PC?

to export from android, search the google store for "contact export". this will save your contacts in csv, vcf, pdf to your phone. you then copy from phone to pc via any means you prefer: wifi, blue, usb.
