this is the first thing that shows up on every android device so it's not a big deal. BUT...if you skip it how can you reenter the process without factory reset? i think this is the harder question.
Please never let this video go away, it's the only way I remember how to transfer. Last time I thought I remembered, and it didn't work. I had to come back and find your video again.
@@thecollegepicker uh... yes it is. that is almost certainly why this person asked. I want the stuff off my old cell but forgot the stupid pin number! I can not access the cell and don't want to lose the things like pics I have on there... I cant take the battery out and I can't get past the pin screen and losing my mind! That's why I'm here but guess no help.. I'm usually so good about writing down pin numbers and passwords I change and saving them but NOPE for some STUPID reason I didn't. I can not call phone company as I'm on a "family plan" with Ex and he will NOT HELP.. drama drama drama.. I am so MAD at myself... UGH!!!!!!!! I even tried changing the sim cards out.. no help cause the STUPID cell still wont let me in! I feel like just going outside and throwing it as far as I can off a BRIDGE! yeah would be funny if I wasn't so upset.. at ME. GRRR guess I'm screwed.. I can't understand why I can't get past this because all my google/android stuff is synced but well that is it.

Is there a way to actually transfer app data to the new phone? Like game apps for example cuz it downloaded the app but It's like I still have to start over bc It's not actually saved.
I've done this before, over WiFi and need to do it again tomorrow to a Pixel 6a. It works a treat, except yes, a lot of Apps require a sign in and some data, such as that in my "Notes" App didn't cross over and I had to send a lot of it manually, via email. Also, if memory serves me well, things like Nova Launcher and Swiftkey Keyboard have to be set up from scratch. Even with all this, the setting up of a new phone is a time consuming process! 😉😉
My new S22+ currently says it will taking 36 hour & 40 minutes to complete the transfer with Samsung Smart Switch. I am transferring data wirelessly from a S10+. I selected "All Data" . Maybe stop it and modify what gets transferred over ? Any help is appreciated. This is happening now as I type this. Thanks, Gerry
Don't transfer your apps with all the rest of the stuff. Wait till all your data, except apps are moved, then go back and move your apps over. The guy at TMobil told me to do it that way and it much quicker both rounds of transfer.
This is going to sound like such a stupid question, but do we leave that SIM card in the phone after we transfer everything? And what to do with the one that was in the new phone, if so? Thanks so much! This video helped me to avoid a 2 hour round trip drive to Verizon for help!! Success!!👍
(Assuming you are just switching from one phone to another phone, using the same phone number and carrier) You should place the SIM card from your old phone into the new phone's SIM card tray.
NONE of my apps transferred. (edit) Ok, I noticed that a few of them did and then.......10 minutes later, I saw a few more pop up....and then more....then I remembered something about google backing them up inn the cloud, but there was no notification anywhere when it started restoring. It's great that this worked but would be nice to have a notice about it when it is restoring because I had totally forgotten about that.
Is appreciate the info valuable information. However you and being paid to be a content creator creator you should have the proper equipment and working cables to do so. Otherwise your channel will never grow. A cable costs 5 bucks sorry to be hard on you
I have a few questions. I have to send my old damaged phone back and need to transfer all of my data to my new phone. they are both the same Samsung S20FE devices. my question is would it be easier and quicker to use Samsung Smart Switch instead of using this method? I of course want to everything transfered to my new phone. second question is when you transfer your data via cable does it use the data on your carriers data plan that you have? if it does not, then is the cable version faster that using a wifi? I have a reasonably fast 5g-wifi. last question my new phone came with a sim card. so should I just leave the Sim card that is in my old phone and install the new Sim card that came with my new phone and then do the transfering of all of my data???
If you input the new sim you will have to call your provider and have them update it or you won't get service. If you keep your old sim card then it works immediately!
it is ridiculous to say this is "really, really easy" i certainly could not do it. you take waaaaay to much for granted. sorry. for me. i wish i could formulate questions for you.
If I get a New phone with eSim can I just transfer all my Old apps and data to the New phone wirelessly. I have to do it this way because my old phone will not work unless plugged in.
Thanks for your assistance, it was very easy to follow but my phone did come up with smart switch, which apparently made it a lot easier. Thanks again! 👍
sadly, this isn't gonna help me. My old phone is a Galaxy A02s and my new one is the A23. The a23 is demanding the use of smartswitch, wouln't be a problem if the A02s could support that, which it doesn't support that app
My old phone is a ZTE BL557, and I bought a Galaxy AO3S. They took my sim card from old phone to my new phone, but it's not showing my contacts (many) on the new phone. How would I get the sim to transfer my contacts? ..... The other issue is that I can sign in my google play account on new phone, but it's not letting me sign in on the old.
I'm switching phones because my old samsung's charging port won't accept the cable and I cant I don't know how to do it without the cable. the guy at the store tried to help me but it only transferred contacts and pictures, not any apps
I don't have a double cable like that one that he's using, I've never had that kind of cable, but I was able to transfer from another android phone without any cable, like I'm doing right as I watch this video. Yes, my screen was not only cracked really bad but it rolls none stop. Almost couldn't us it at all. I keep pressing the cracked screen until the Icons all came up. 😂
@@subashtamang6170 unless you not know, it often how many apps to install and how much data needed to transfer, if got barely anything on old phone might be just a few minutes or if storage nearly full could be hours as so much more
what do you use about cable if your old phone is 1 USB C and the other phone have another type {old type before USB C} can I use a USB C adapter ,in new phone,but which cable ?from the old phone?
I already transferred data to new phone The old phone is turned off now. Can I transfer more text messages now? I only did one year. No SD card only sim.
Need help updating my pool payday on my phone. Pool payday wants me to open my phone camera and scan a qr code . this is all suppose to be done on my phone HELP PLEASE
I am using the same SIM card, with my established phone number, in the new phone. Will this transfer everything to the new phone without the original SIM in the old phone? Nice video except for the extremely boring message, "A FEW MOMENTS LATER"...
Hey - thabks for this. I have a question. I essebtially want to swap two android phones. I want to effectively move one android onto the other, then move the other back onto the first phone. Is that possibl? Thanks
My NEW phone says "choose what to restore" ...... then it gives choices Apps,Contacts etc ........... My question is... is I choose "Restore at the bottom, doesnt restore mean set them all back to default, in other words wipe my apps & contacts out? plz someone tell me because Im sitting here phones side by side unsure what to do.
Will it work without WiFi and mobile data on new phone? I am looking to buy a second tablet and send all data across and keep new device unused with my data on it as spare if this tablet dies Guess from later on need to have WiFi to at least get all installed unless allow to keep uninstalled until use later on
I'm trying to copy data from an old phone, The new phone is prompting me to open the google search app from my old phone instead of prompting the cable transfer option.
HI. I wonder if the photos and videos were dragged into the gallery of the new phone?and songs if they were dragged exactly as they were on the last mobile??
So you took your Sim card out of your old phone and put that into new phone while you do all the rest following? Is it really that easy? Because I have a Samsung Galaxy and upgrading a wee bit hence my query. Tyvm I won't do anything until I get a message on reply back from you. Tyvm again Hugs 🤗
Great video except it didn't work that flawless for me. Going from a Pixel 5a to Pixel 6a. I used the cable, screens looked similar. The text message lost all the pictures, I had the comments but no pictures in the text. That was the main disappointment. The second was the apps didn't populate the screens, the apps downloaded, but they were all in the main directory mixed with all the android apps. Next I reset the Pixel 6a and used a backup of the Pixel 5a created with Google 1. I got the same results.
I use Textra for texting. Will this type of transfer copy Textra and all the messages including pictures and videos? Old device uses mico usb, new device uses C usb. I would think this problem comes up often.
So Is your App data still there on the new phone once you're done transfer it? +For example, Candy crush. Would my data still be there?) Probably a dumb question but wanted make sure
I am trying to switch from nothing phone to moto Razr 40 ultra from the last two days using the cable but it just gets stuck at "Getting Ready to Copy" I left it overnight but it kept on that screen for several hours and I had to cancel it.

You need an impact phone case like otter box
