- chrisjj 1y agoWhich program made the transfer?
- sjsdaiuasgdia 1y agoThe built in Android data transfer, as far as I'm aware. This all took place during the setup process of the new phone. It offered to transfer from my old phone, and it did so.
- chrisjj 1y agoThanks. Was that transfer direct between phones by WiFi? Or by cable? Or was it restore from cloud backup? Or something else?
- sjsdaiuasgdia 1y agoThe transfer was wireless. I presume WiFi given the amount of data that could be moved in 15-20 minutes. I don't think NFC has very much throughput. When the transfer was almost done, it told me I could use a USB cable between the phones to make the transfer faster. At that point, given how close it was to being done, I just let it continue versus risking an interruption to the process by changing media.
- chrisjj 1y agoThanks. Here transfer by WiFi at new phone startup was via app Samsung Smart Switch. It said "Data yhat cannot be transferred [included] that due the apps policies". I cannot imagine how the same Chrome app policies that prevented app data transfer for me allowed it for you.
- sjsdaiuasgdia 1y agoMaybe that's a benefit I got by choosing Pixel devices for my last few personal phones, it was the default Android functionality not a Samsung-written replacement. I'm sure there's some people out there who appreciate Samsung's duplication / replacement of functionality Android already has, but that's not me. My work-issued phone is Samsung and I'm not fond of all that extra mess.
