This is a great comprehensive video on this topic. However, I just followed it to the letter to transfer data from a Samsung Fold4 to a Fold5. It took over 8 hours. When it finally completed, I could not find any way to evaluate the transfer process to determine what came over and what didnt. Comparing storage usage, theres a 50gb difference post transfer with less on the new phone. In addition, many applications required me to re-loggin, ie voicemail, non-gmail email account, etc. Some apps seemed to have been loaded from the App Store instead of through the transfer. Some apps updated and looked different making it even harder to compare. A new camera app was deleted, and my Samsung messaging app converterd itself to the Google messaging app. Icons changed, as did some app configurations. No offense to this video, but it amazes me how confusing it still is to transfer a mirrored copy from/to like phones. The transfer should be identical to the kb unless theres an explanation. Updates should be separate post-transfer. I now have to spend countless hours testing and reviewing each app because I have no confidence in the process. If my experience is my fault, please comment below so I can learn.
Thnaks for this tutorial about Smart Switch!!! it was great, I should have used it before!!! I upgraded my wife early in he year and we did everything old school and took forever!
Thank you. Great video. But why didn't many of apps didn't transfer? For example easy voice recorder which also plenty of money recordings on my old phone. Thanks!
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?
The way to transfer secure folder was new to me. Wish I had known earlier lol, would have saved a lot of work. Great work as always 💪👏. Thanks for your effort ❤
Very helpful 👍 good video, was a bit unsure whether i should use it, didn't know how well, or how easy smartswitch is to work. Will definitely use now!
I just purchased a new Z Fold 5 and I had forgotten how to transfer/copy everything across from my old S20 plus. You are a champion Sir and thank you very much. May I ask a question? what's quicker for transfering wireless or USB cable? Oh, and a BIG thumbs up. Well done.👍
I am glad the video was helpful, thank you and I've never tried it with the wire, I've always gone with the wireless option because of the convenience.
Thank you so much for this video. I have a question; I use Samsung S9+ with 128GB internal memory and a sd card storage 32GB, and would like to transfer data to my new Samsung A34 with 128GB internal memory and a sd card storage 128GB. Now, while transferring the data from my old phone to new phone, would the sd card storage 32GB data be transferred to the internal memory of my new phone or the sd card storage 128GB? I am really confused here, help would be appreciated.
Very helpful video. How about if you have a new phone, that comes with a no sim, so you swap the sim into the new phone, surely then the old apps (WhatsApp for example) won't be on the old phone any longer to transfer over to the new one? I guess what I'm asking is, do you need two sim cards at the moment when you do this switch over of data from old to new?
Thank you!! And, to answer your question, the location of the SIM does not matter, it can be in your old or new, you can even do this without having a SIM in any of your phones. I hope this helps.
Thanks for the video, was good to confirm what is supposed to happen. Apps and layout all got perfectly copied over. I did set up the sync to other devices in google play on the old device, not sure if that is a requirement or not for it to work best. I wanted to ask if you recommend doing the transfer after initial setup, as you did it in this video. Is there any pro/con or difference at all? If doing it during new device setup is better for some reason I would prefer that. If there is really no difference at all, I would imagine doing it after initial setup is actually better and has less errors as the device is fully updated. Could you confirm please?
Charlie how are you buddy first let me start off by saying THANK YOU!!!! I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS BECAUSE YOU GET STRAIGHT TO THE POINT NO NONSENSE AT ALL. So with that being said I'm going to try to extend the same courtesy to you I had a problem with my z fold 3 but because I had insurance they upgraded me to a Samsung Z4 now I'm having a problem with my Z4 and rather than them sending me a another phone which by the way they're sending me a Z5 for my inconvenience butts they want me to send my phone that's not functioning the way it should and once they see that the phone is in transit to their facility then they will send me my my z fold 5 so in this case what do I do Charlie. Just a little heads up everything to my Google account add to my Samsung account I just can't remember the passwords so before I wind up removing the SD card or reset to factory settings I have to set up new passwords for both accounts one more question I'm sorry the I watch this video not too long ago unfortunately and I followed your steps and everything from the screensaver my apps EVERYTHING. Again I just want to say thank you very very much and hopefully you'll get back to me soon. THANKS BROTHER
Thank you for this helpful video, well explained. My old phone, Note 20 has an SD card full of pics, data, some apps moved there etc, however the new S23 Ultra I got has no SD card. No body address this issue on how Smart Switch will handle getting that data over to the new SD cardless phone. Any ideas? Thank you. EDIT: I just went ahead with Smart Switch wirelessly and it even transferred the data from the SD card and placed it properly :-)
Sorry man, I think that is already understood that the app will transfer all the SD card data as well, I'd be mad at Samsung if it didn't. Glad you were able to transfer everything. 😊
Welcome and SIM does not matter, you can leave it in your old phone, or put it in the new one, or not have it in any of the phone, the end result will be the same.
Hi sir I one doubt I am game video creator . my phone games backup to new phone what I play level game same come to new phone sir its works few you see my message kindly reply
how about different phone brand? In my case i want to transfer everything from ole phone Oppo Reno6 to Samsung A15. i was try Wireless and Cable. both are failed. any comment can help me. thanks
Charlie, maybe you can help me. I used Smart Switch to back up my S23 ultra to my PC. However, when it finished it say failed to back up the secure folder. I tried it several times with the same result. Any ideas?? Thank You!
Hey Steven, I've faced a similar issue, after everything backing up to a USB, I could not restore Secure folder on another phone, I did not get any error, it just didn't restore it on the new phone, even though I had selected 'everything'. I guess its a bug.
Last time I had it done at the store & it took awhile! But, it didnt transfer all my fonts, icons & qnything I paid for on Samsung, so i had to but a couple new ones. I assume ill have to do that again.
If i was to do this smart switch technique and then factory reset my old phone would it do anything to the new phone thay has the smart switch merhod used on it
So i got a question Charlie when all my information goes on my new phone like Google accounts & stuff....if i factory my other phone with the same Info will it effect anything?
Great video Charlie, thanks. Wish it had been around when I did my S23 Ultra in February! Does it also leave all the app sounds intact? For instance, some of my apps have App Provided Sound which I can never find how to reinstate when changed to Default sound
Thank you John!! Do you mean custom notification sounds, then no, but there is an alternate way, I usually just copy over the 'notification' folder manually from the internal storage of the old phone to the new one and change the sound manually.
@Tech Guy Charlie Yes, but what about notification sound settings in specific apps that have their own sounds? I'm not convinced that it's possible to get this to transfer across and as soon as you change the default notification sound in the volume settings, then any app provided sounds are overwritten.
Hi. I am battling to transfer data to my new phone. I can't get passed the check wifi network connection pop-up. Am I not able to do this without wifi connection? Does mobile data not work
Bro after trasfering your photos or video in new phone thus the date of the photo in old phone and the same photo in your new u just transfer does the date of the photo we just transfer will be different in new phone and old phone
The screen on my old phone(s10) went absolutely black it don’t show anything So what can I do if I want to transfer the data to my new phone(note20u) * in my opinion from what I thought that the only way is to repair my screen first to make it work right? Then get along with the process. * so if you have other solutions pls help me 👏🏻 my English not good I really hope u understand what I want to tell
Whatsapp doesnt support chat transfter through SmartSwitch, but you can always transfer over the chats using the Google drive backup or transfer it locally through the "Transfer Chats" tool in the Whatsapp settings.
@@TechGuyCharliewhen the transfer is complete will u have to log back into anything like youtube, will all ur passwords and emails will still be there?
It depends on the app, Samsung Messages and Google Messages, both will keep the chat data, however WhatsApp requires a manual backup through the app itself.
Phone number is irrelevant! That is linked to your SIM or E-SIM, this just transfers photos, videos, apps, accounts, messages and contacts. 😊 I hope this helps.
At 07:30, it was shown that it is not possible to backup or transfer WhatsApp using this method. Can we try doing this while using Wi-Fi? or we may need to restore WhatsApp data from Google Drive.
Some apps like WhatsApp and some authenticators cant be transferred over to the new phone because of their 'app policy' in that case you will have to restore their data manually and as for WhatsApp, you can do it via Google Drive.
I tried it but it didn't really work. Most of my apps had to be setup again manually because all the settings were gone (Xing, Spotify, Wikipedia, Evernote, ...).
Hey Cheryl, Smart Switch app does not transfer chats, however it does transfer WhatsApp media like photos and videos, for chat you will need to use the Google drive backup option in WhatsApp itself, then restore it on the new phone.
3:52 Yikes... I have over 100gbs that I wanna transfer from my S21 Ultra to my S24 Ultra (in a few more days when i get it). Hopefully it doesnt take all day lol....
whenever i select "transfer everything" and hit next, it tells me to connect to wifi?? It doesnt start copying and wont go past this selection. The phones are connected because it does do the transfer like yours does when it is setting up. Why is it trying to connect to the wifi? It should be wifi direct right?
Wireless transfer takes forever and cable transfer demands a USB to USB format, none of my three Galaxy phones comes with that, only charger cable that's not equipped that way. Well done Samsung.
Hey bro appreciate your video,everything transferred clock calendar all that stuff. It's not my lock screen and I wallpaper. It's not in my stuff and themes. I know that there was an option to transfer with Google and transfer with Smart Switch and what was Smart Switch. Period I swore I I might have seen goes wallpapers on my phone but they're not there. It's. Not identical to. The? Old. Phone? Lock screens wallpaper. I don't have my SIM card activated in my new phone yet? Wandering if that makes a difference? Period really. The everything is good but that's the only thing. I want to change and it doesn't seem to be an option on my old phone to have that brought over. It's just either selected deleted it Or nothing.i? Thought about wiping this phone again and didn't doing the transfer again but. I have made changes. Course I that Might be in my backup. I don't know.i was good. Activate? My. Phone right now,but wanted to see if I could Smart Switch again. It's lot information they're bringing over. I got over 200 apps go back to me let. My know what you think? Apologies if it sounds sloppy i'm using text to speech appreciate your video bro thank you.
Random but do you have any videos where you compare a certain models of Samsung? I know this is an old phone but recently got my mom replacement Asurion insurance replacement for a note 8 and they gave us a note 10 she calls me and asked where I got the phone and if it was a burner phone, I don’t think she knows what that even is lol but wanted to see if you had any videos comparing the two her phone stop charging and she could only make calls on speaker. Not sure what’s going on with that but ended up getting her a replacement like I shared. I still have the old phone need to still send back but I wanted to ask.
Hey, this method wont transfer the WhatsApp chats, you'll need to backup its chat data to Google Drive first and then download it on the new phone! Its pretty easy!
please how can you transfer everything from your old note9 Samsung phone to a new Samsung phone when the old phone is having the screen problem how can you transfer it I always do updates on the old phone
Can you see anything on the screen? or is it completely gone? If the screen is gone, then you will need a USB type C to USB A and HDMI adapter to see the screen on an external display. Then connect a mouse in one of the free ports of the adapter and then you should be able to control your old phone and transfer everything over to the new one.
Most likely yes! as it transfers all the apps, if you can identify which app is causing an issue then you can dis-select it and copy over the rest of the things!
WhatsApp chat backup isnt supported by this feature as Whatsapp's policy does not allow its 'App Data' to be transfered, you will need to backup the chat to Google drive and restore it on your new phone.
Thanks for this video btw 👍🏻

Should the sim card be in the new phone or the old phone?

What if my old phone is malfunctioning. I can't pull up any apps, or screens?
among the apps that u are going to transfer, does it include bank apps also?

Nice bro❤😮

Ty sm great video it will help me
Thanks for the great video but when do i remove the sim card from my old motorola Moto G Power android to my new samsung S23?
You can move the SIM before or after moving your files, in short, the location of the SIM does not matter.

Course I that Might be in my backup. I don't know.i was good. Activate? My. Phone right now,but wanted to see if I could Smart Switch again. It's lot information they're bringing over. I got over 200 apps go back to me let. My know what you think? Apologies if it sounds sloppy i'm using text to speech appreciate your video bro thank you.
Random but do you have any videos where you compare a certain models of Samsung? I know this is an old phone but recently got my mom replacement Asurion insurance replacement for a note 8 and they gave us a note 10 she calls me and asked where I got the phone and if it was a burner phone, I don’t think she knows what that even is lol but wanted to see if you had any videos comparing the two her phone stop charging and she could only make calls on speaker. Not sure what’s going on with that but ended up getting her a replacement like I shared. I still have the old phone need to still send back but I wanted to ask.
If you have Samsung cloud you can just sign in and restore on new phone.
Always skeptical of uploading my personal data on to the cloud! I prefer transferring everything locally!
Does it transfer Whatsapp chats data ???
Hey, this method wont transfer the WhatsApp chats, you'll need to backup its chat data to Google Drive first and then download it on the new phone! Its pretty easy!
@@TechGuyCharlie Thanks 💖
please how can you transfer everything from your old note9 Samsung phone to a new Samsung phone when the old phone is having the screen problem how can you transfer it I always do updates on the old phone
Can you see anything on the screen? or is it completely gone? If the screen is gone, then you will need a USB type C to USB A and HDMI adapter to see the screen on an external display. Then connect a mouse in one of the free ports of the adapter and then you should be able to control your old phone and transfer everything over to the new one.
Wow I hope this works
Watching
It doesn't transfer data
thank you save me buying a new phone hahaha
If you think your old phone has a virus or possible hack will it be transferred to your new phone?
Most likely yes! as it transfers all the apps, if you can identify which app is causing an issue then you can dis-select it and copy over the rest of the things!
@@TechGuyCharlie thank you
Dude, you press buttons way too quickly. Please slow down!
I am sorry man! slow the video down by selecting 0.75 speed in RUclips player.

What about Whatsapp will it gave all the chat
Nope, whatsapp doesnt allow backing up of its data, you will have to do a manual backup or a google drive backup.
Fuck smart swich .... not working
What about WhatsApp chat??
WhatsApp chat backup isnt supported by this feature as Whatsapp's policy does not allow its 'App Data' to be transfered, you will need to backup the chat to Google drive and restore it on your new phone.
@@TechGuyCharlie ok.. Thanks a lot. I asked this question because iPhone allows WhatsApp chat transfer..
