[@fgbarrientos]

At minute 11:22 of the video after you showed the data transfer results (which did not include the secure folder) you hit on "next" and got a message "unlock secure folder to finish transferring". What happened there? Earlier in the video it looked like secure folder was to be included in transfer? Can you explain?

[@amaan06]

You need to unlock the secure folder to transfer its data

[@Joeeye123]

I just did mine wirelessly, was about 126GB which claimed it would take 1h 30m but it took under an hour.

[@gilbertsalazarjr3956]

Is it necessary to turn the phones off when removing/installing the sim card to the S24?

[@Freestylah]

I used Smart Switch recently and was sad to discover that it didn't transfer app data along with .apks. All my authenticators, password managers (with offline database storage), banking apps, carrier apps, messengers etc. were transfered without their data! I had to set everything up manually.... So "transfer all" doesn't actually transfer ALL.

[@vchnbl]

true bro

[@HenryDarkLordOfDeath]

And now I'm not using this anymore. Better to stick to the Google backup and Samsung cloud back in parallel instead

[@NickM-x8k]

uh, whats the point. I thought in 2024 and "smart" switch it would actually be good

[@HenryDarkLordOfDeath]

@@NickM-x8k Im pretty sure it's a premitions thing. Google is not letting Samsung write app data to the phone. Honestly that is kind of stupid though.

[@NafayAwan]

It's because in latest Android versions /Android/data folder is off limits

[@glenmallory6181]

Unfortunately, using a cable for transfer is NOT an option for those with hundreds of gigabytes (especially over 700GB a of data--heavy on photos and videos). These phones will run down to zero battery during the file transfer. My experience has been that I have to use Samsung Switch to backup to my computer first and use Samsung Switch to restore from the computer to the new device. If anyone has a better solution, I would love to hear it. This can be an opportunity to edit your gallery and other media for duplicates or files that should be discarded anyway (but it can be a daunting task when you have not done this maintenance for years). It is also a challenge when the phone must be in use for those on call for work. Maybe being tied to a laptop over night is cumbersome but a necessary option. If you do not use the Samsung Switch program, do NOT copy files because the date metadata for photos and videos will all be updated to the date of transfer. The process without using Samsung Switch requires creating zip files and decompressing them on the new phones to retain original date of creation. A HUGE thing to check after your transfer to the new device is that the files in Gallery can still be sorted by date. 10:32 This is another reason that I so dearly miss having the external SD card. It made phone transfers so much easier.

[@flashboss4209]

I guess if your phone runs outta battery while transferring, might as well put it on a wireless charger at the same time while transferring using cable, phone may heat up but it should work 😅

[@glenmallory6181]

@@flashboss4209 Ended up trying backup to restore from from pc. I also put both phones on chargers and ran Smart Switch over wifi. Running through computer backup worked well for one transfer. The other transfer of over 700GB failed repeatedly to complete. Running Smart Switch via wifi worked well the first time around. But all of these take a very long time to complete.

[@jpquebec123]

Wireless charging dude

[@Atljeepboy]

I also was wondering about when to do the setup and transferring the sim card, Thanks for this

[@Atljeepboy]

I would love to see a "out of the box" process too so we know what to do from turning on the new phone to the final phase, cause i know when you first turn it on it asks you questions about setup and looks like you already did that on this phone

[@annbrew7328]

Yes I would like that too, as I am stuck and not sure what to do next. It says on the language to put in the sim, but that is contradictory a good video, but I definitely need the dummies guide to setup new phone and transfer. I do miss my son not being around to do this techie stuff for me.

[@NonLegitNation2]

I wonder if the ETA is actually for the file transfer plus copying over and applying your settings and home screen layout because it seems that setup part would probably take about a half hour which would be right on point with the ETA.

[@Catalyph]

I had a bad experience with my Smart switch. I had 450 GB to transfer, most video and photo. but it took 8 hours.... using the USB-C cable that came with the S24 Ultra from an S20Ultra

[@rcary]

ive done this before without WIFi. I cant seem to get it to work again. Keeps asking for a wifi connection. I thought this used its direct wifi between phones and didnt need a wifi network? All i have is my mobile hotspot, but that shuts off if i use Smart Switch. Help!

[@sirhborn]

You'll repeat this on the s25 ultra, too?

[@carrie9668]

Let me start by saying thank you for all your videos. They are informative and easy to follow, especially for older viewers like me! I've pre-ordered my S24 Ultra after watching yours and many other videos. I'm trading in my S23 Ultra, which I love. I'm reading a lot of posts on Samsung members and the internet about how there is a problem with the screen and the sound coming out of the speakers. Have you noticed these issues also?

[@ClapperDan]

Same. i wish i did it earlier bc I wont get my phone till near the end of the month. However, my final payment on my S23 Ultra is next month lol Affirm is a godsend btw, I started my account with the S23 ultra purchase with interest, now i have like over 2k in spending power. I also bought a Neo QLED TV for gaming so I had to squeeze the S24 pre-order in for purchase

[@jbox8450]

If you have an s23 ultra Id keep it. Not worth trading in for a 1 yr upgrade. Costly and the s23 will get a lot of the s24 features and does already have alot just s24 corrals them together a bit better so things arent so scattered. Theres people out there that upgrade every 3 yrs or whatever but at these prices 1 yr and not the best hardware upgrades Id wait....I am a samsung lover and want the s24 too but just not worth the upgrade. Please enjoy your mew s24!

[@ClapperDan]

@@jbox8450 my primary motivation for upgrading is storage. I have 256 GB S23 Ultra. As it stands, the best move was simply preordering the S24 Ultra 1TB. Trading in my current phone would make it cheaper at under $800, than buying a new S23 with a trade-in. At best, I'm seeing offers for an undamaged S23 Ultra second-hand costing around the same price that I'd be paying with the S24. To me, it just makes more sense to get the S24 Ultra, and pay it off in 8 weeks versus spending around the same amount on last year's(still very good) device when I don't really wanna pay that much money in one go right now.

[@Bigdude0444]

8:29 You can also use a USB hub if you have a nice one and plug it into one of your high wattage chargers. I've done stuff (usually dealing with emulation) with 2 phones and a Steam Deck plugged in with all 3 charging just fine.

[@jonpeach5851]

The colours on yours are looking good there’s videos floating around showing the s23 ultra is more vibrant.

[@MichaelCorredorc]

One question, the Google authenticated app with the two-step verification codes is also passed? Or is it advisable to first transfer it without the smart switch?

[@monkeybusiness2204]

Transferred from my S22U to S24U, wireless, around 300+GB. Transfers got interrupted for a few times. Had to redo. And Smart Switch isn't smart enough to recognize files already been transferred and would re-do the transfer of the whole fricking 300+GB. It was neverending. Then I had to do partial transfer over a few times to avoid being interrupted and incomplete transfer again. Bad experience. Actually I have had migrated from older Samsung to the next gen in the past for 3-4yrs and never had a complete transfer without problem.

[@deallie87]

I had this same issue transferring from a S23U - S24U around 150GB. Very frustrating! But sorted now 😅

[@iZacq]

Nice What about when we do a Cloud or Storage Backup after Formating the Phone Does it make a difference in reinstalling & activating thing Apps, etc or it's just like we did a Smart SWITCH ❓️ Will all our settings of GoodLock be as it is in both ways, on the phone or we will have to do the setups again ? What about Developer Mode Options, will we have to do those settings again ?

[@MajoraPRIME]

I attempted the wireless transfer of over 300 gigs, and it stayed stuck at 96.8% with an ETA of 15 minutes, then it increased to 23 min and stayed there. Eventually, i gave up and only transferred the essentials. Am I able to eventually try again and transfer what I couldn't transfer?

Using Smartswitch to transfer from Galaxy S10 to Galaxy S24 ultra. Data "transferred" pretty quickly (about 1/2 hour) but now it's saying 5 hours to "organize" the transferred data! I'm using the cable for the transfer. Did it take this long for anyone else?

I'm using SmartSwitch to transfer from my old S9 to a brand new (old stock) S9 because I like the LED and no phones have it any longer. Anyway, the new S9 is still on Android 8, which is what it shipped with. Do I need to update the OS to Android 10 (the last for S9) before attempt SmartSwitch?

[@charlievthetuna]

This is what I'm going to try, phone-to-phone since Galaxy phones since the Note 3 (Dec. 2013) have a USB 3.0 (5gbps) connections. It should have been commented in his videos to use a USB 3.0 to 3.2 gen2 cables for optimum transfer speed. Also going to try old phone-to-PC-to-new phone. Since I have a newer high speed PC, I believe backing up to PC then importing to a new device will be faster yet.

Be careful with smart switch. It can leave your new device buggy. I did Note 20 > S22 Ultra and i had poor performance and battery drain. Factory reset and setting up without smart switch fixed it. Also from reddit it appears setting up the s24 ultra with smart switch has given some users bugs with the display. Im not saying its buggy for everyone but it's something to be aware of

[@oldmangamerlive]

[@ezekiel884]

@@oldmangamerlive I backup and restore what I can via Google and Samsung accounts - saved Wifi networks, bluetooth devices etc. I install and log in to apps manually. When it comes to files saved on the phones storage (photos, videos, downloads) personally I use adb as I have a development background. This probably isn't an option for most users as it requires some setup and familiarity with command prompt / terminal. If you google "adb file transfer ui" there are some tools people have made to make this more accessible, although I haven't used them myself. Worst case I'd manually copy the files to my computer from my old phone, then copy them from the computer to the new phone via a USB cable. For fast file transfer speeds you'll need a 'USB 3.1 Type C Gen 2' cable. The cable that comes with the phone is very slow.
