It took me five days, two visits to a Verizon store, and many failed transfers before I ultimately have up on transferring everything from my old to new phone. I’m the end, all I was able to transfer were my contacts and text messages – no pictures, videos, apps, documents, etc. Even the Verizon employees had a difficult time using the app and one told me “Sometimes it just doesn’t work. It’d be easier if you transferred between Samsung devices (and used their app).”
worked great. However, you need to load the app on to both phones in order to make it work. I didn’t see that written anywhere. At least for me once I started the app on both phones and when screen by screen on both phones it finally just started. Once it started it worked great. Clear definitive notifications on every screen.
Minimal, fast and easy. Got a new phone with the carrier after I damaged my old one while traveling. The shop used this app to transfer from my old broken phone; I used it again to transfer photos from a burner I had picked up on the road. The app transfers all items of a selected type (photos, videos, contacts, apps, etc). I would prefer the option to select individual transfer items from a list. It also couldn’t transfer several contacts it just said were “in the cloud,” but couldn’t say more.
My old phone was nearly a decade old, and the default Google way of transferring data during initial setup wouldn’t work. I used this instead, and it worked perfectly (well, mostly perfectly; pairing the phones was difficult since the QR scan wouldn’t work, but manually connecting them through a wifi network worked fine). All of my text messages and call history are there, including picture/media messages, and it was even able to copy my user-installed apps! Not the system-installed ones though.
