So now small things start to piss me off ATM.
There is this glorious Xperia Transfer app which should easily transfer my data from one phone to another.
So I start it and I select SMS and Bookmarks and Call Log, since these are the only things which I wan to transfer.
So I do it and after I plug the Z5 this amazing PCCompanion says it will transfer everything BUT NOT SMS and not Bookmarks.
Anybody did this before? It's f.... annoying.
It worked flawlessly for me phone to phone.

Me too, no issues with transfer. I only did SMS/MMS and Call Logs also. Actually I did it once from Z2 to Z5 and again from Z5 to Z5 again and everything transferred fine. I used the cloud method both times.
But you mean Xperia Transfer Mobile?
And what is Cloud exactly in this context?
The Mobile app was ridiculous too because it got my Z2 stuck with lack of memory.
Because this cannot let you choose what you want to do BEFORE.
Edit:
Well looks like the cloud one worked!
Is this data located somwhere so I can erase it after?
I used Xperia Transfer mobile to transfer stuff from my Nexus 5 to my Z5 and it worked flawlessly. I did it over wi-fi
Mine worked flawlessly on my old Galaxy S3
Mine worked fine with Cloud option.
With PCCompanion it could't copy my smses.
NFC was also problematic because of the file size created on my Z2...
Anyway success in the end.
Thanks guys!

You will get notice when it's deleted, I think it stays a week or two and then is automatically purged.

Actually in the end it told me the files are there till 25th Nov
Lumia 1020 to Z5, didn't work [Got stuck on Step 3 where it kept checking sending phone], had to transfer contacts using some random app from Appstore which pulled data through Bluetooth.
For me, it worked as it said, but I need to backup and restore my apps with data. I couldn't do it without root. Anyone?

What your old phone? Xperia Transfer seems work only for Android phones. For more effective file transfer between different, I found MobileTrans is pretty good one. It supports Android, iOS, Windows and Blackberry phone.

Hi.
I'm introducing an awsome application made by Samsung.
Its name is SnapNGo.
There are two files which are sng_setup.exe and SnapNGo.apk.
SnapNGo.apk is installed on your device and sng_setup.exe is on your PC.
In order to use them, those two machines must be online.
After installation both of them, turn on the Snap N' Go file in your PC.
And then turn on the SnapNGo application in your device as well.
You must see the camera screen.
Default setting is "from PC to Device".
If you want to pull a file out from PC, just take its photo.
Put the file icon in the middle of Camera's focusing box and press shoot button.
That's all. Your file will be located in /sdcard/SnapNGo/
Here's the attachment's link. It's 9.07MB zipped.
attachment here
A sad thing is that it doesn't work on Froyo, at least with mine.
edit : Oh my god.. there is the place where I should've written down this kind of thread.
I'm sorry, how can I move this to there?
HAHAH !!! it works
This a really nice app thanks buddy

Is this just for camera photos or can you send any file?

from PC to your device : I think any files are available. I haven't tested all files but there were nothing I couldn't send. e.g. apk,zip,txt etc..
from I9000 to PC : there are only a few files supported. jpgs or something.
PC client crash on Windows 7 x64.
At least on mine :/

You may want to try SwiFTP, it does ftp over wifi. It's a 1 click setup and you can then access it with any machine on the network. Super fast and easy.
many thanks for this helpfull program, which works perfictily ob the latest orange froyo 2.2.
however, there is newer addition of it, if some one can bring it to us, that would be great.

Use titanium backup from the app store. Copy the folder with backed up data from the phone to your pc, copy it onto new phone and restore.
Titanium won't work on unrooted phones. Try my backup pro!

Don't just restore all data and go through them one by one. Restore only data for user apps installed from the Play Store. The likelihood is your phone messed up because you overwrote some system data.

I did restore some system data but they showed up as green in TB so I thought it was safe (like calendar, contacts, SMS/MMS, wi-fi access points). I will try again and only restore user apps with data. A few apps did not restore at all though (like FB, official Twitter), weird.
I hope I can sort this out. Otherwise, I'm gonna sell the phone.

Here's the problem, I can't see files backed up to that directory. It seems as if they're being filtered from my view. Isn't there an issue with the way USB works such that it's not giving access to all the files, just the multimedia ones?
I use an app called DataSync to sync app data between phones. I've had no problems transferring app data between my HTC Rezound and my Nexus 4. I use dropbox as my storage area, you then upload old data from old phone to dropbox and then download it from dropbox to new phone. You select which apps to sync, the repository, then which direction to sync, very simple to use.

I used adb backup & restore to move content from my unrooted One X to my N4.
There's an issue with MTP that directories don't show up right away. There's workaround for other phones or if you install CM 10, but I don't think there's a way to get back to USB Mass Storage on stock Jelly Bean.
Ok so it turns out it WAS one of system settings in green that messed up the phone. My problem is it's actually the SMS/MMS backup, which is apparently tied to the phone app (the HTC one since my backup is from the Evo 3D). I'm not sure how to restore these. I know I can do SMS with SMS Backup & restore but it doesn't do MMS. Any app out there that can save & restore both?

Use the backup./restore XML feature in titanium backup it does SMS and mms including pictures
As a rule of thumb avoid restoring any system data from differing make phones or across android roms/versions.

This, and it b/u's up your sdcard as well, just do this after you unlock your bootloader if that's in the works.
I found letting it try and backup the shared storage caused me a bunch of problems, so I told it to skip that and copied the bits I needed myself.

Yeah I get your point. I'm usually super careful but green options are supposed to be safe to restore but, as it turns out, they're not really.
Use SMS Backup & Restore from the Play Store, it's free and good.
I am having a similar problem, my Nexus 4 will arrive this week.
All stuff is ok with TB, except Line from Naver.
Anyone knows how to export and import messages, don't wanna lose them
This is pretty cool. You can mirror your Note on your PC and control it using your PC's keyboard and mouse. It's a great way of editing and reviewing S Notes on your PC while they are still in native form on the Note. It connects either over USB (with debugging turned on) or over Wi-Fi.
Here's the desktop app...
http://www.mobizen.com/en/?page_id=236
Here's the Play store app for the Note...
https://play.google.com/store/apps/...51bGwsMSwxLDMsImNvbS5yc3VwcG9ydC5tdmFnZW50Il0.
I can confirm this works well with the Note 10.1, thanks for the heads-up. :good:
Edit: You have to download the APK from their website as the market version reports it is incompatible with the Note. The downloaded version has the correct skin for the note.
Great app but it`s not showing the proper skin for me (downloaded and installed the apk from their site version 1.0.1.26).
Anyone wanna post the apk file, play store says it's incompatible with ALL my toys and can't find the apk file on the mobizen site.....
Doesn't help I just finished work and have to start again in 7 1/2 hours....

The desktop app reads the device's model number when it connects. I have a N8000 and it worked fine. It also worked for my N7100. I don't know about the N8010/13 or non-international versions of Samsung's devices. The company that built the app is in Germany and probably doesn't know the N8013 even exists (as well as Samsung phones with carrier specific model numbers).
Well it`s woking fine with my note2 (n7100) too and showing with the proper skin. I have the n8000 but for some reason it`s not showing the proper skin. Anyway as long as it`s working ..... Thx for the great recommendation!

I have plenty of work documentation that I can now easily copy and paste into S notes, and this saves me a lot of time retyping everything. :good:

Reading the user reviews in Google Play, a lot state that they took away WIFI. Can someone confirm that? I'd really love this if it could be used over WIFI.
Maybe downloading the apk from the link provided early instead of downloading it from Google Play will still have WIFI available??

After you install it on the device and start it, it asks you if you want to download the wireless module (APK) to use it over Wi-Fi. Still works for me. Once it's set up, all you need to do is start the desktop app and it automatically finds and starts the app on the device if its connected to Wi-Fi.

You talking about a Backup for all? Or just system settings or Apps with settings? Rooted?
Gesendet von meinem SM-N9005 mit Tapatalk
Helium is another option. You can schedule backups, save those backups to Dropbox or Google Drive, make a complete backup or just backup app data and when you go to restore the data it will prompt you to install the app. I choose the latter option, and it did successfully restore alot of the data on my phone, but I was disappointed that S Note files, and a data saved in a few other apps was not restored, or failed with I tried to restore the data. I haven't given up on the app yet, but from here on out I'm using the full backup.
Hope this helps.
Can anyone suggest an app that will allow me to copy my SD data from my old phone onto the Essential over the air? I thought Google's File Go would work, but it seems to restrict which files I can transfer directly, phone to phone. i need access to files beyond the 6 categories File Go offers.
