Android Data Transfer - Old Phone to New Phone (Using Google Account - No 3rd Party Apps)

Upgrading to a new phone can be a tedious process and data transfer can be confusing.
In this video I will show you how you can easily backup to a Google Account and restore everything on to a new phone without using 3rd party apps.
This process was done on Android 9 but the process should be the same for Android 10 as well.
0:08 Things Your Need
0:20 Part 1 Backup
2:31 Part 2 Restore
If this video helped you in anyway, please give it a Thumbs up and Subscribe to keep the channel going :) Cheers
Note: If the backup button is disabled / greyed out, you will need to temporarily disable your Android Lock Screen Security Method (PIN, Password, Fingerprint or Pattern). There seems to be a bug in android that disables the backup button on some handsets.

*This process may not work with phones that don’t use stock android like Samsung as they have their own backup & restore solution.

I have made another video for an alternative data transfer method using a USB cable instead - you can find this video here kzbin.info/www/bejne/d2bNeKeHr9JloNE

THANK YOU! This was the best transfer info I found. Very clear and simple! So far it looks like everything came over, including all of my SMS messages which was what I worried about most. (Went from Pixel 2 to Pixel 4a.)

[@THELABHUB]

Glad it worked, thank you 🙏

[@whwh5701]

@@THELABHUB I will mention in case others are reading this that any photos that were attached to text messages did not transfer with the texts. Not a huge deal as I'm keeping my old phone as a back up and the photos/texts are still on that one.

Thank you for the video. Question for anyone who may know. I have Xfinity Mobile and I just want to switch phones from Galaxy S9 to Galaxy S22 Both are owned outright and unlocked. I assume I just move the SIM card to the new phone and then data transfer from the S9 to the S22? I don't need Xfinity to do anything correct?

[@girlpower7329]

My question is , my friend had used his sim card in my phone. Now, I have forgotten if I formatted the phone before giving it to him. In case there was any data/ files left in my older phone, will he be able to access the data when he inserts the sim card in the new phone ?? Via any Google accounts.. please reply!!

[@wayne3340]

I bought a usbc to usbc cable, just so I could easily transfer my data to my new phone, only to learn my phone doesn't give me that option. I then found your other video which helps me do it wirelessly. When I backed up my old phone the account was GoogleOne, that account doesn't appear on my new phone and the only account that shows up is the account from my new phone (which has been reset) backed up 3 days ago. Very confusing for a middleaged non computer person. I have a hammer on my workbench that will fix both phones.

[@Batala_C._Zambia]

Thank you so much. I have a question please how long does it take to transfer the information and what happens if the WiFi is switched off during the process

[@tressygaming]

If the back up storage will remain the same so what should we do

[@thefourangelsmassatuscany6856]

When I do this transfer, does SIM card stay in the old phone or already in the new phone?

[@wrhysg61]

Thanks Mate! Saved the vid...have a "new" phone on the way. Hoping to go from android 8 to 9. Whats the deal w/ Google 1? Also I have.many sideloaded apks...I suspect this may well not move them...any thoughts, anyone? Whatever the case this looks like a huge time saver. Many thanks for the clear, concise no bs video!

[@THELABHUB]

I found with the apps it kind of re-downloads them from the play store so not all apps are guaranteed to be moved especially if they're not compatible, discontinued or side loaded. Google 1 gives you additional storage and additional backup options as well

[@andyzabb1855]

Do u need to log in to apps after transferring?​@@THELABHUB

[@mandersxp]

I love that you're switching to a Razor 😭 #goals

[@theriac.]

[@rogercarrell]

[@maniys]

this is the normal procedure and thank you for sharing it. but what can we do to resume the process if it happens the wi-fi connection has an issue and the interrupted restoring process is skipped? can we set up the phone and do the restore process whenever we want?

[@THELABHUB]

It depends on the android phone manufacturer, some allow you to restore from the phone settings after you've set it up, with others you just need to do a factory reset to bring up the data transfer options again. Hope that helps

[@tressygaming]

After these process will the back up storage will remain same or will be zero storage as new

[@OutDoorFun3]

Great video. I just went from a Pixel 5a to a Pixel 6a. It used Google One for the default backup in the system backup. The restore didn't work as good as your demo. All the app were copied over but it didn't create them on the home screen, had to drag out and place on the screens. What bothered me the most is all my pictures are gone in my text messages, the text is there but no pictures. I haven't deleted the phone I'm cloning, is there a way to get the pictures too?

[@THELABHUB]

If you're using Google One you have to go to the settings and enable multimedia messages backup I remember it was not on by default for me. You might need to repeat the transfer process after that. Using a cable to transfer should copy them across

[@OutDoorFun3]
