@Techboomers As the timestamps were all 0:00 on the opening page I thought I'd add them here. 1. Using device-specific software 0:37 2. Backup and restore with Google account 1:06 3. NFC Connection 1:53 4. Copy and transfer files using a computer 2:37 5. Use a third-party app or service 4:01 Nice, clear and succint video. Many thanks.

Thank you! I have a new LG device, but when I tried to use the LG Mobile switch app, on the second step, I disabled screen overlay for all apps, except for a failure with trying to do so for one-Google Play services for dual apps. Using the Clone-it app, I got the same error. This is on a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4X. For the backup and restore with a Google account, it wasn't clear how to restore the data after following the video instructions. From Google Drive, I was unable to do anything with the stored backups, which I could see on my desktop for the Redmi, but not on my new phone. NFC isn't available on my Redmi. So I have copied the internal storage on my Redmi to my computer, and have tried to copy my new LG V10 H960 phone, but I was not able to copy all of the data under internal storage from the old phone and just paste it into the internal storage folder on the new phone, so I tried with all folder except the Android folder. That copied some folders, but then failed with the Download folder (due to a conflict with the existing Download folder. So I will copy all folders except for existing ones (Android, Download, Music, Pictures, Videos, DCIM, etc.), and copy and paste the content of the existing ones, and also exclude irrelevant folders, e.g. MIUI, mivideo, and hidden folders (starting with .) So far this is working out as I have finished copying and pasting all the contents, and am just waiting for the processes to complete! However! It is now complete, and no apps have been added. :( So it appears that I have to install each app manually.

real nice and easy to understand. I can't speak true to her claims yet. As my phone will not be here till 4 days. But I haven't got a new phone for a long time and I don't want to lose everything this time. At first there was no way I knew I could avoid a loss. Back when Android was still a baby (doughnut and eclair). But she caught me up with the transfer methods. Awesome! 5 stars. Her pretty, relaxing voice makes the issue a better time.

may I know after you transfered the data folder like for example Android Data folder to your new phone, what's next? How to make the apps in that folder appear in your new phone? Thru installing the apps in the phone and it will automatically read the data stored in your folder? So that when you open your newly installed app, you are already signed in in that app?

@neub43213 жыл бұрын
Thanks for such a comprehensive and clear job. Your 4th method, copying files, only works if Android apps maintain compatibility over time. In other words, my Android 10 apps need to be able to read the corresponding data from my old Android 2.3.6 phone. If there are exceptions for particular applications, I'll have to try other methods you listed.

Was looking to hear the difference between each of these ways, and what data would or wouldn't be copied, and how to get as closest replica transferring from my broken note 10+ to new note 10+. When I upgraded my moms S5 to note 10+ 9 months ago, using Samsung smart switch left much to be desired! Especially with more than user on the phone. Thought this was going to explain which ways came closest to an exact clone as possible.😕 Also, the "computer" voice used in this video is a little hard to understand.
