How to Transfer Data from Android to Android FREE 2023

[@davey820051]

Your method and tips worked well for me-thanks for taking the time to make the video. To those criticizing someone went to the trouble to make an instructional video that anyone can watch for free (or not watch if you don't find it helpful): you do know, don't you, that you can (1) turn on subtitles so you can read as well as hear the presentation (2) pause and replay parts of the video that aren't clear to you at any time (3) play it at reduced speed if the pace is faster than you are comfortable with. Or you can just complain.

[@KellyDuke-xx1uh]

Please let me know if you can help me thank you

[@elizabethchalfant2395]

thank you so much! I wasted a whole day trying to talk to someone for help and today decided to youtube instructions and there you were with a pixel 6a transfer to pixel 7...exactly what I needed!

[@charlesgwinter]

keep in mind that you need to be aware that BOTH devices have USB transfer mode ENABLED. I found out the hard way that my pixel 6 did not switch to file transfer mode when both cables were connected. I found that out in the middle of doing a RESTORE.

[@liws23]

YOU GOD DUMMMMMM RIGHT 👍🏻

[@gene2200]

Don't see a USB enable on my moto 2021? Haven't checked new one still factory reset.,...just found it's in the developer mode, no problem. This is best video about doing this via cable, Thanks!!!

[@IfYou-00]

How do I do that on a Samsung a03s??

[@uzicohen2533]

Thanks a lot. Definitely simplifies things a lot (i have a new phone for over a month and was terrified of this process). Questions are: does this support moving apps database? my Whatsapp has more than 10GB of data.

[@moundir1486]

Question please, I have important data in WhatsApp, does this method transfer Whatsapp data too?

[@kmo9219]

Well done video. I watched it in advance of receiving my new Android phone, and I feel well-prepared to handle the task at hand. Thanks!

[@hiskid431]

How did the transfer go? Did it work?

[@amansur1]

can i transfer data without resetting the phone. I have two phones which i use but backup photos on one. i want to move photos from one device to the other

[@bryancrowley2729]

For some reason it didnt transfer any of the apps from the old phone. Waited two hours and they never appeared on the new phone, not even greyed out. I repeated the entire process a few times and sane result. All boxes were checked of what I wanted to transfer.

[@ShamanNoodles]

Thank you broski! Good, simple video. Well done

[@Davi-did]

Does anyone know where I can learn to merge the data from an old phone on to a new one without deleting or overwriting what's on the new phone? I'm going from a single sim phone to a dual sim and don't want to lose what I already have on the new phone.

[@chrisbiggs-z6x]

Worked great where others did not. Very well explained.

[@noufalabdullatif7371]

Hello, I just bought a new android phone and would like open my google photos there. But here is 3 important things I would like to do: - Create a new gmail, move the data from my current gmail to the new gmail - Change my plan from the free 15gb plan to a more storage plan - Change the back up settings from Storage Saver to Original Quality My question is what are the order of these steps? considering I don't want to risk losing any data from my old phone. Please help as this is a special complex case.

[@hughgallagher]

Is there STILL no setting to restore the app folders/groups from the old device to the new device? So I still have to spend ages re-creating the app folders/groups?

[@jakobw135]

When choosing what to copy, is there an option to CLONE the older phone - meaning, much more than what you get from the Google remote server,, I for example?

[@GameFaceLouie]

this worked very well, i did have some trouble initailly saying it couldnt copy but then I remembered the advice in the video to unplug/giggle the cables and it worked! You do have to be patient to let the apps load in and some will need to optimize themselves.Thanks.

[@theokool1736]

Great video and nice and clear instructions 🙏👌👍

[@bradpryer]

Thank you. You explained it very well and simple to understand!

[@scottjohnson921]

super helpful. my cord was bumped during the download. I followed the video and reset my phone and started over. Thanks!!

[@patrickgilmore9125]

quik question: you dont think the sim card is the problem? (for example: my old/current phone says "Sim card not installed" [not often, just more than id like]...you think that the sim card wont give me issues with the new phone? i have a galaxy note 10, awaiting to set up new s24 )

[@patrickgilmore9125]

then a follow up question: if that is a problem, can I set it up with the old sim then once the new phone is set up, switch out the old sim card with the new one they provide??

[@patrickgilmore9125]

ha. NEVER had anything transfer 100% of my shtuff. that samsung switch app is no joke. don't need to reuse the old sim. pop the new one in and accept the permissions to transfer all the data you want and presto. . . let it FULLY download AND organize the data. if you look before it's done, some stuff won't be there. patience.

[@KenHasty]

Easy and fast, first time I've ever done this and will use it again on next transfer.

[@thecollegepicker]

Glad it helped 👍

Question: will data from my WhatsApp get transferred (and other apps) Does it work well without cables and with internet?

[@spunkyspice4777]

All my charging cables have the regular end and a USB on the other. How did you manage to I sent the USB end to your device?

[@DavidMccallister65]

Thank you so much for this video! I was nervous about transferring from my old pixel 4 to the new pixel 7a, but this looks like a breeze! It was a great help!

[@JamesXiaolu]

Thanks for the well done video. One question: When transferring an app from old phone to the new phone, does it transfer everything (app itself included) from the old phone, or it actually connects to Google Play or whatever "App Store' over the internet to get/re-download the app? The reason I am asking this question is, I have Douyin (Mainland China version TikTok App) on my old phone, and this App is NOT available for download from outside mainland China (I am in Canada), so I wonder in this case if this app can be transferred directly from old phone to the new photo (instead of re-downloading and installing from the App's store/server from mainland China, which again in my case can not be done:). Thanks again

[@dixiehandyman]

I would leave everything from "mainland" China in China! That place is worthless.

[@ssergeant9682]

I already setup my phone and used google to transfer stuff, but it didn't transfer my apps. can I do this and just select this after the face or do I have to start over. I changed carriers from old phone to new phone.

[@GoffyDylan]

Exactly - this does not work - lots of stuff does not transfer automatically like in this video.

[@RoseTechServices]

This is for when you get a new phone, but doesn't cover Android to Android WITHOUT resetting... How do I transfer between two Android phones in general? Not explained here... Title misleading

[@uxorialcoyote7460]

It's not hard you can do the exact same thing in settings

[@RoseTechServices]

hi, I'm trying to transfer data from samsung s20 to motorola razr 40 ultra, but I have a problem, I don't see this first step, copy aps and data ( use your old device), I did a google account backup on the old device, and on the new one, I started from the settings menu but I just don't see this option...the new phone is already configured (I'm not starting it for the first time now). Should i reset my new phone to fabric settings and than start the procedure?

[@roykhliu]

the cable used is it the charging cable that comes with the phone. I have one that one end is a C connector and the other end is a normal USB so that means I need an USB to C adaptor. If not, then I need a special data transfer cable, right?

Hello I have a new phone and for the first time I still got my old one not being completly broken even tho I've used it for many years. But since so I have alot of stuff on my old phone and even tho I not use some of the Apps and other stuff I want to put it all on the new phone. BUT Im not sure if I can do that - is it possible to transfer just everything 1to1? Including apps, games + safefiles and also stuff that most likely isn't to be found in the app store or others anymore? Oh and even that this one isn't necessary I was wondering anyways - will it also transfer the browser history?

If you have 2 Motorola phones, Motorola makes it seamless as when you turn on your new phone, it will prompt you to do exactly what you are doing in this video!

[@JudyGoldthorp]

Thanks for the video. I am going to transfer data from Old Android to Not-So-Old-Android. I knew there was a way to do it. I feel pretty confident that I can do it, with your help. I'll let you know how it goes!

[@JudyGoldthorp]

So here's what happened to me. My new phone is a Samsung Galaxy A13, so it wants to use Smart Switch to do the transfer. I had to install Smart Switch on the old (not a Samsung) phone. Meanwhile, the old phone is charging from the new phone, so the new phone is down to 49% with 14% of transfer done. Not sure if it can complete the transfer before it hits 0. Stay tuned. So an advantage (I think) of doing it by Bluetooth would be that both phones could be plugged in and charging (if needed) and one phone would not be draining the other phone.

[@JudyGoldthorp]

I finally finished the transfer by wireless, so that I could charge both phones during the process

[@Mamacocina2023]

Thank you so much. I was able to transfer everything just following your video. ✨

[@tylerbarton2617]

So kind of an important question & I think I know it should be safe but just cuz I am not necessarily a tech person persa, is it safe doing this with for instance crypto accounts like coinbase, kraken, Gemini, atomic wallet, binance etc... & they all have a significant amount of crypto in them all will that transfer the same as all the other data? I'm pretty sure even if it didn't, as long as I have my mnemonic pass phrases for each wallet that my crypto will automatically transfer whenever I enter that into the new phones crypto account apps but just wanted to ask a 2nd opinion considering the significant $ worth of all my crypto accounts....?

It worked smooth for me a while ago with a different phone, but doing that remotely with my dad now, and I failed. It was not prompting for a cable so I tried to use Wi-Fi transfer, which was showing a QR code, then an error on the old phone at the very beginning (multiple tries)... Then we tried transferring the data through a Google account (backup), which came out impossible because the "Create backup now" button on the old phone was grayed out. It is easy only if it goes exactly as the instruction shows... :/
