How to manually move app data over from an old phone? - Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Guides, News, & Discu

So I still play Robo Defense and since that game is so old, it does not support the google play account stuff, so I want to put my data files on the sd card and move it over to the new phone, does anyone know how to do that? Thanks.

Use Samsung Smart Switch to backup onto an SD Card then restore using the same App when you get your new phone.

[HELP] My phone is acting up!..

Alright well randomly when i would go to the photo album i could scroll through a few photos, then "We're Sorry..." A problem has occured with Manila.exe
I did some research and people that tried formating their SD Card, got it to work again. Well since it worked for them i decided to try it...not knowing its just going to delete everything from my SD Card...So I deleted everything from my SD Card.. now what? I take it i should do a factory reset? Will that put all the default stuff back on the SD Card, like Transformers 1 & 2?
At the moment i writing all my contacts down...but can someone please help me figure this out? I just wanna go to bed cause i got work in the morning..
The HTC HD2 is such a hassle, theres always something wrong with it.
The movies are gone. Sorry. Do a backup or copy sdcard contents to your desktop next time.
Nope. You should always back up your content that is on your SD card before you format. Its gone for good.
Well **** my lifeee. Ok would T-Mobile be able to fix this? Cause this is just getting too confusing. I hate this phonneee...also my phone isnt reading my SD Card.

Do you have it connected to the PC in "disk drive" mode? If so, your phone won't see your SD card while it's connected that way, only while it's connected via activesync.
Hmm, well yes it was lol. Is there a site or some source i can just download the default SD Card files from?

Not the movies. The games etc can be found in the sticky at the top of this section titled "Links to cabs, ROMS, how to's, & Jaime's "New to WinMo & Absolute newbie tweak guide"...in there are links with all the other stock apps from the HD2 (and a bunch of other stuff you should probably check out).
You might be able to go to a T-Mo store and see if they will swap out your sdcard with one from a return unit.
Don't give up on your hd2, it is a great phone. Everyday I find something new about my phone that makes me happy I went with it. WinMo is complicated, but once you get it set up, it runs really well.
Well im kinda stuck with this phone for 2 years. Not much I can do. So far it pisses me off alot, like when i receive a text, my phone freezes for about like 15 seconds while it loads to my phone. That and the fact its slow and it just fails as an OS.

You really need to read that new-to-winmo guide in the thread I mentioned above. In fact, here's the direct link for you:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=688928
Then go back and read everything else in that thread I pointed you to...with a little care, WM can be a wonderful OS...I wouldn't trade it for any other, personally. There's solutions for every one of the issues you've mentioned, if you'll just take the time to read and learn here at xda.
I believe there is s fix for the text lag, but I don't know where it is. I must be lucky because I don't have the text or music tab lags. I have around 500 texts with about 350 from one person and I get very little lag loading messages and I have 8 plus gb of music and the sense music player works great.
Try Cookies Home Tab or maybe one of the custom roms.
Okay well I still cant view my photos without "Manila.exe" to crash. Should I just restore my phone, or is there a fix.

Yes if it's still doing that after the card reformat, a hard-reset might be the best shot at clearing it up. Are these pics you've taken with the camera, or ones you copied to your SD card? If it's the latter, how many pics do you have on there?
Also, just fyi, you don't have to write your contacts down to save them...if you just run the myphone app that's already on your phone, it will back them up along with your text messages, and allow you to restore them to the phone after a hard-reset or a ROM flash.
Well i saved a bunch of pictures i got off google on too my phone, and thats when it started having the error. Um where is the myphone app located?
You can copy all your contacts to your sim card instead of writing them down...just saying to save you some time.

or use mobile back up.
But make sure your MicroSD isn't corrupt. Try a different MicroSD and see if it works. It might be the card reader in the phone.
Might be able to get a warranty replacement if that is the case.
Im just going to use Microsoft My Phone its easier, and i dont have to click one by one just to add contacts to my sim card. Um im sure my SD card is fine, it just has nothing on it lol. Im going to run the the T-Mobile store tomorrow and see if then can exchange the SD card for one with all the default stuff on it.
Alright well i backed up everything i needed on Microsoft My Phone. Now im just going to do the hard reset.

Once you've done that, just run the myphone app again...it will have you sign in, then it will update the app, and then it will download the contacts and messages etc back down to your phone.

[Q] Ready to replace this tomorrow..just one question

I have a few issues with my Fascinate so I will be getting a new one tomorrow. So I have NOVA and Asphalt from Gameloft. I am pretty far along in them and I don't wanna lose my saves when I return them. If I save the Gameloft folder from my SD card and put it on the new one, will that restore my games saves when I re-install the games?
Unfortunately no your saved game data won't save over to the new phone. If you root it you can use titanium backup to save the game and data from your downloaded apps, but then you would have to root the new phone to restore the saved data to the restored apps. Unless your already running froyo, but I'm not sure if it would restore the saved data from the apps.
Sorry to dash your hopes.

[Q] Do I need to reformat WP7 formatted SD card in order to flash to Andorid?

I love WP7 but I don't think it is ready yet. The thing that really bugs me and makes me want to go back to Android is Google Maps. The built in maps is awful. I have tried several of the other maps and they are not as good even the ones that try to use the google maps. It seems forever to bring a map into focus etc. Also no facebook or twitter notifications etc. No copy and paste. Loved using the phone but these things bugs me.
Anyway, I know how to flash android and uninstall. My question is the SD card. Do i need to format the sd card in a nokia phone or can I format it some other way as I understand the sd card will not be useable elsewhere once removed. I don't have a nokia phone. Sold it ages ago.
If you have a card reader, you can partition and format the card with whatever OS you are running.
I personally have two different SD cards. One I use for when I flash WP7 and the other when I get the urge to go back to Android.
Hard format or you will end up with some problems with android after Wp7.not all have faced this but some like me, did.

i think this link will help you!!!

I read the link above and it only helps with installing of wp7. I believe the OP, and myself, are curious about how to decrypt/format an sdcard that already has the wp7 partition on it. My computer will not recognize it for me to use with any program.
I tried going to a tmo store, but they had no idea what I was talking about & no one there had a nokia N97 to format the card for me. I'm about to head up to AT&T and see if they have a Vivaz that will format the card.
And might I add that there is another thread on this subject that is a lot more developed:

How do I change memory cards if I have saved games with PSXPeria

I'd like to switch to a larger memory card. I've been playing and saving on my current card, roms played on the native emulator using PSXPeria. Could anyone tell me how I should go about changing cards without losing the saves and settings? I'm not sure if this is possible, or which files I'll need to copy. Would really appreciate any help.
Iam not a expert but i think that you can save the folder "/mnt/sdcard/Android/data/sony.play(...)/saveFOLDER" (the name is not saveFOLDER but you can search and will found it, if you save this files, you can delete the save and use others and if will need to backup it, just paste it back).
Sry bad english thought.
I would just pull everything on the SD into my computer and copy it onto the new card...

sd problem in kitkat

Since receiving the kitkat update OTA my sd card has completely vanished, can't view anything on there or save anything to it. I know this is a new thing that Google has brought in but it's a bit annoying seeing a lot of my work is saved to the sd card along with family pics etc.
Can anyone advise me on a way to fix it so that I can save to the sd card as well as view what is on there?
At the moment the phone is completely stock but I am willing to root etc (again) to get the full use out of the phone until (if) Google remove this new plan to get us all using cloud.

Thanks for that! I don't mind rooting etc to get it working, only really want it as the storage on my phone is basically full and I use the camera a lot for my tattoo work etc so try using the card to save the phones memory, easily transport it into pc's etc and be able to view everything on my phone as and when needed, helps for a bit of advertising if people ask for a look at a portfolio then I've always got some work on hand at all times. Hopefully Google will change their way and then I'll happily unroot again as I don't really need the phone rooted or custom roms etc, I keep that all on my old s2 that my son plays with now
Update...I gave that link a try, rooted the phone using cf root and then tried the app, unfortunately sd card still not showing so still can't view what's stored to it so now looking into custom roms until (hopefully) a fix arises or Google change it again
