[@TheCosmogal]

Thank you for, the great review. I am 81 and managed to set up my S23Ultra from a S22 Ultra. Had a minor problem with loading the SIM card.. after that, was easy. Thank you so much.

[@cathyg1099]

By far the best explanation on how to transfer everything from an old phone to my new S23+. Thank you!

[@scottgarvy]

Mine didn't move everything even though I selected move all. Missing many pics and other things. I still have both devices. Did I miss something?

[@stephenbuckham9964]

Ive just bought an s23 and this is the best transfer tutorial ive ever seen thank you very much for sharing

[@perfectlymprfct]

Thank you for all 20 lovely minutes. I have a brain injury and appreciate the step by step details that allow me to speed up or slow down, as appropriate. 😉

[@cpayne4956]

Very detailed with multiple options for several sources. Great job!!

[@otteydw]

This was a great video. Our new S23s are coming today and I was hoping for a super simple transfer from our current S9s. Thanks so much for the explanation!

[@jortizu92]

Doing this today. Any tips on random hiccups you ran into?

[@sm-hh4wq]

wish s23 had 3.5mm jack port.

[@BalramNair]

This is definitely a great video, well-detailed for those who are doing this for the first time. So good! Thank you 🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@timhonzel5455]

Very informative. Can you tell me though if you are using a launcher (like Nova) which I use are there different or additional steps you need to take to make all those settings transfer as well as my home screen set up and widgets? thanks

[@Theperilsofbev]

THE absolute best tut I've seen, thank you!

[@paulalibone3476]

When I broke my s22u I found restoring to my s7 tab easiest by restoring from samsung cloud. It set the screen up the same and all the passwords were set. Worked a treat. When I get my S23U i might use this approach.

[@AchillesNYC]

amazing video yet again, setting up my s23 ultra as we speak. Well done, thank you sir

[@gianlucaierpi2258]

Very clear video. Just a clarification, I mounted an SD card on my old S10 considering that my new S24 does not have an SD card slot, I would like to ask you if Smart Switch also provides the possibility of copying the SD card data to the new device. Thanks

[@pamelawalker9056]

Great question. I have also had purchased the S24 Ultra and have a SD card in my S8+ that I will need to transfer to the S24 Ultra like my apps. Hope the question get answer.

[@alim6543]

Very detailed and comprehensive. Best video. Very helpful.

[@BrushTE]

Always uncheck 'settings' when transfering data. I've already seen topic on forums in my country that someones screen is looking worse than his S22ultra(it was yellowish for exemple) etc. Deleting all accesibility settings etc. was helping them to deal with these problems. This time I wasn't transfering anything cause I kept phone cause I can't tell much more. Just something to consider : )

[@crimsonblade4058]

Thank you so much! This video has saved me hours of transferring my data from my iPhone.

[@dionataylor8379]

Oooooo this is so good! Thanks for sharing!! So excited to set up my new Galaxy s23 Ultra now! Very very good!

[@doonbiz]

Really excellent video, clear, explained well, hitting all the details others miss. Thanks so much, now subscribed!

[@osronn]

@1:28 You can switch sim cards on the fly, no need to power down.

[@TechisodeTV]

Very true, but I tell people to power down in case they are transferring from a phone that also has a micro SD card in it. Typically, the micro SD card and Sim are in the same slot. If you eject the micro SD card without unmounting or powering down, you could lose some data. It's faster to tell people to power down than walk through the unmount process :) But you're correct. If you don't have a micro SD card installed, you don't need to power down :)

[@osronn]

@@TechisodeTV ah ofc, makes sense if you need to remove the SD card 👌😁

[@WellThen101]

Outstanding video! Subscribed! Well organized, clear, concise. Preparing to move from an Galaxy S8 to S23. Hopefully this works well with Verizon phones and the ancient S8. We'll see! 🙂

[@marsoelflaco5722]

Just got a Galaxy S23 Plus. Thanks for the tips.👌🏽

[@ryoung5592]

Thank you for the detailed info. I always set up my samsung to samsung, but i was just browsing today and you gave me a few tips. I appreciate you thanks again.

[@lizardbreath9999]

Thank you for your video! Can I ask I will be using 2 sim cards. Do I add both before I transfer date frim my old phone?

[@TechisodeTV]

You can add one or both. That shouldn't affect the data transfer 👍

[@animiisenpai]

Is it true that smart switch affect battery life

[@Ccraigger1]

I need help please..I just recently traded in my note 20 for a new S23 ultra..after the transfer process I lost all pics and videos in my secure folder..never transferred to my new phone..how do I recover all that data? A video available? Thank you

[@MatthewRichardson1]

I mean the app is recommended to you during the setup process so it's hard to miss.

[@codeosagie]

You're the best. You did a very detail job. God bless you.

[@pipopt]

Do you think there's a benefit in doing fresh installs for every app?

[@ScooterBlia2]

Smart Switch is glitchy now. I could only transfer a few apps at a time and i couldn't transfer any messages older than 2 years. The app would crash or disconnect from old phone. S22 Ultra to a s23.

[@THE_WOAT]

Excellent content and explanations, really like the cadence as well. Thanks!

[@TechisodeTV]

Thanks!

[@ShenHeng]

When you do a restore, will the photos / videos have original timestamp or timestamp overwritten with the restore date? Does anyone know?

[@Md_Saba_Mallick]

in India, we are still waiting for S23U to be delivered. ordered on 3rd of Feb, delivery starts 17th Feb and will be done by 22nd Feb

[@fdosrzalc]

Thank you!!! I made it step by step.

[@TechisodeTV]

Awesome!

[@kalishascott8108]

Hey! So, I need help! 😭 smart switched from an A32 to the S24 Ultra. Google messages doesn't receive my audio messages or video messages that were in Samsung messages. I've backed up, factory reset, tried a different method and NOTHING is working. At one point, my group messages in Google messages were separated. I tried using Google 1 as the backup data and also Samsung cloud. I think that method triplicate the SMS messages and left me with zero MMS ones. I have NO idea what I am doing wrong.

[@mablenay]

If I had any type of malware on my old phone, would that transfer over too?

[@RideHealCapture]

amazing tutorial. have me an idea what I should expect. I have a questions, is all the app data refained? for example, Twitter or Instagram accounts logged in and ready to go?

[@gianlucaierpi2258]

Hi, yesterday my s24 arrived and today I did a test with Smart Switch and it seems to have worked. During the procedure it asks you if you want to import everything or if you want to make a selection. I chose "everything" and it imported all the photos I had stored on the SD card. If you tap on "everything" it shows you what will import (apps, photos, documents etc) and in a separate block you will see the SD card. In any case, to be sure I had made a backup of the SD card.

[@GhostBoca]

amazing job sir. From south florida USA. Pedro

[@MANOJGEORGEchemistryteacher]

amazing video, helped me to transfer all data from s22 to s23 in few minutes. Thank you so much.

[@benikaya]

does this aslo transfer the accounts with the apps? Like am I already logged in automatically?

[@rortiz77]

what happens to your groupings and how you organized all your apps? do you have to start that over?

[@marlenemendez95]

how do i set up new phone without my old phone, its asking for the 3 step verifcation but get retrive code if my old phone wont even turn on

[@RickieCro]

What cable I need to use for transfer?

[@Moe395]

I too will be changing from the Fold 4 to the S 23 Ultra... I enjoy the video on the transfer process. Thanks..

[@weatherandsky]

This was really helpful but for whatever reason my photos don't show up as an option to transfer from my Note 10's SD card (to my new s23ultra). Only the videos. Anyone have any ideas? Im using the smart switch and I tried to see if it shows up using the wifi transfer option and the cable transfer option.

[@chrisgilmore7727]

I tried this method for iphone to motorola and it doesn't work. Nothing auto pops up as described.

[@MichaelWilliams-mo1vv]

I tried this when I got my new Galaxy A54 5g. I tried to transfer my data from my Galaxy note 9 but I couldn't get it to work. Even though I connected both phones with a USB cable. I get getting a message asking me to connect . Also I had downloaded smartswich to my old phone, the new one already had it.

[@vivekraj1169]

Does this transfer modes and routines and other settings?

[@marsoelflaco5722]

I have an S7, I know an S7, and just purchased an S23 Plus. I use MEMOS quite a bit. Will the the items saved in MEMOS transfer to S23? Thanks.

[@MrDraper38]

My daughter who us away at college. She attempted an update on her 3 week old S23 ultra and her phone got corrupted. Just won't come our if bios. TMOBILE tried to fix it as well as local Samsung warranty store. They sent a new device under warranty. She is trying to set up her new device and restore her photos, messages, and apps. What is the quickest way to restore or get all her info on her new device? She has a Samsung account as well as 2 Gmail/Google accounts. She has cloud storage on both but it isn't showing anything to restore. Any help is appreciated.

[@vincetoreno6178]

Excellent video. Thanks!

[@Katya5cat]

Very good video. Thanks for the wealth of information you've given us. You made knowing what, to expect and to do, easy to comprehend.

[@dr4062]

Thanks 👍 great job explaining and showing how.

[@TechisodeTV]

Thanks!

[@tutacat]

You don't need to turn off the power to add or remove a sim card... It might even ask to restart depending on if your manufacturer installs vendor bloatware from your mobile network. A cable is much faster and uses much less power, but maybe it doesn't resume? But smartphone backups are annoyingly lacking.

[@JMKDragon]

So if I download all my music on my iPhone first will it transfer those to the Samsung phone or doesn’t it not transfer music?

[@giovannibucio]

my friend swiched to s23ultra took him 9min from iphone 11, i got my s23Ultra today 512gigs lime green. man SAMSUNG phones are hyper fast.

[@AdamSlobodian]

I just got my S23 today, coming from a Pixel 6. I have backed up all my apps and data to Google One storage. Is there not an option during the S23 setup to restore data and apps from a Google One backup?

[@carloscarreon9485]

Thank you so much for this video, it was very helpful.

[@ramoalvarez8222]

You lost me at 2:13 with the qr code. I did not get a pop up, but when i turn on the camera nothing happened. I'm transferring from a S8 TO A S23+

[@deevocg6692]

Can it transfer esims as well?

[@stacyjacobson9828]

So what can I do if my old phone has black screen

[@DustinLee-jc7bm]

How do I find who transferred my files

[@vineishaparham5112]

What do you recommend if you can't turn the old phone on to transfer all your data

[@kevinpeng8295]

So I was transferring data from my S9 plus to my new s23 ultra (with wires), but I saw my S9 plus battery running out. At this point I had to unplug it at 76% data process and charge the S9 plus and go back to do the data process. Will my data process continue from 76%? Or will I have to do it over again?

[@chadolive1]

Hey bro like the. Video? , I did my transfer last week for my Note 9 to my 23 Ultra, I got everything the same just my lock screen and my wallpaper weren't in my my stuff in things I'm One ring why as it should be identical,i? Do have a lot of information. Is it worth wiping my phone and doing Smart Switch again? If. You get back to me let me know. I have a SIM card in my new phone. It's just not activated yet Very simple just never got around to it. Would that make a difference?

[@gregorhi2]

Why is switching phones still a big PITA after all those years of development? I've switched from a Note10+ so it should be the best possible way and yet I have to log into apps again manually and many apps & games will have lost their setting or progress.

[@ihavenoideas5844]

Because Android's security system doesn't allow apps (including the Smart Switch app that does the data transfer) to access other app's data without that app explicitly giving the data to the other app

[@NonLegitNation2]

so my current Samsung device has a microSD card and I don't have an extra microSD card for my new device so I'm planning on reusing it with my new device. My question is since the files on the microSD card and internal storage are larger then what i have for internal storage space on my new deivce can I back everything up using the smart switch windows app, to my PC. Then wipe the sdcard, install it into my new samsung phone and transfer everything from the backup on my PC to the new phone, during the initial setup of the phone? Basically doing what you did between the two Samsung phones but using my pc with th backup on it. Or would i have to do the initial setup of my new phone first, then within smart switch on my phone go to the restore option and restore it/transfer all my data from my backup on my PC?

[@hassanmaje5849]

I presume if you choose Videos, Images, Audio and documents under Custom transfer, Smart switch will exclude media and documents from WhatsApp folder on old phone's internal storage during the transfer. It will only transfer images, videos, audio and documents from camera, downloads, etc folders from old device. Is above understanding correct?

[@perveshmody]

Super informative video. Thanks.

[@9amTiki-taka]

Hello. I am trading my S22 Ultra for S23 Ultra through Samsung. How do I check if the new one l just received isn't refurbished? I want to ensure it is brand new before I send it in. I am looking forward to your reply. Thanks!

[@hakunamatatakoi2887]

I tried the transfer twice Galaxy note9 to S23 and both times it will not save my google chrome website shortcuts that I put on my home screen. Any idea how I can get those changed from them being greyed out and stating I have to update but when I do the update it does nothing. I don't want to go through and find every single web address and resave it to my home screen. PLEASE HELP!

[@EtechnoTechno]

does the smart switch have the glitch this year like it had last year where if you would switch over your data from an old phone, there may have been a bug in the transfer file that caused you to get worse battery life? i want to just use smart switch but i would much rather do a fresh reset this way i do not have to encounter that bug

[@TechisodeTV]

If you're concerned about battery life being affected. I would uncheck the "settings" and "home screen" options. There's a chance that a setting changed for you last year that caused the battery drain issue. Also, double-check the apps that you transfer and make sure you're only transferring the apps you really want. Some unneeded apps may drain extra battery.

[@johnbryson9300]

Outstanding job, fella!

[@GOPANNGG]

THANKS FOR THIS DETAILED VIDEO KING

[@dr.manojarka]

Hey…Is there multiple user accounts to use in Samsung s23 ultra ? I can’t find in my phone. 😮😮😮 if there is an option.. pls tell me where

[@homesteadingtennessee4678]

How do you transfer the screen is broken.

[@andrewscasualmtb]

Excellent video. Thank you very much.

[@chankongsun]

I may try the cloud version. Backup to cloud and restore to phone. Via app

[@wildreed21]

You forgot to tell ppl that if you're switching from a Samsung device with a microSD slot (microSD card), the things on the microSD won't be transferred, but a screenshot placeholder will transfer to your new device that shows you what wasn't transferred.

[@hugogarcia292]

I got my Galaxy S23 today on 3/5/2023 @ 2:35pm....

[@two12er81]

Great video - helped me a lot. Thanks! Question: i transferred from an iPhone 14 but all my photos are scambled and not sorted in chronological order (they are all "created" as of the date i did the transfer). Has anyone else had this issue?

[@JeremyKillebrew]

Hey bud! Are you keeping the fold 4 or the S23 ultra ?

[@TechisodeTV]

Both, haha. The Fold 4 has been my daily driver until now. I'm switching to the S23 Ultra at least until I finish all of my deep dive coverage. We'll see if it stays in my pocket after that. I absolutely love the Fold 4 because of the large inner screen, but the S23 Ultra has dramatically better cameras for zooming in. And since I have young kids in sports, the zoom makes a BIG difference for me.

[@djjohnnyparis5183]

Hi, you said that the wallet app won't transfer. Is that correct? Because I have tickets to a show at the end of March stored in the wallet app. Will I lose them? I just received the S23 Ultra, and I was going to activate and transfer everything from my S20 Ultra to the S23 Ultra today. Will I lose the tickets I purchased?

[@somelikeithot38]

Actually I believe that is saved to your account not necessarily the app. Once you have logged into the wallet app with the same account info the tickets were on, they should still be there ....

[@martin2514]

Youneed to have your bluetooth on you old phone switched on for it to pick up the other phone.

Question please, if I want to transfer all the data i have from the micro SD card i have on my S10e , to my new S24 , what should I do exactly?

What about all the passwords? (gmail, whatsapp, fb, viber...etc) I suppose to do this today, from a Note 20U to a S23U.....Will the new device ask them?

[@MattRobloxYT1]

Do we need to buy anything to do this method?

[@TechisodeTV]

Nope, everything you need comes in the box unless you're transferring from an iPhone and don't have a lightning to USB C cable. In that case, you need the adapter I show in the iPhone section of the video.

Does it transfer all the apps across?
