New to the android thing. I just replaced my wife's three year old Z10 with an S7 edge. Any tips or tricks to switch phones? Need to do a full transfer of all the data.

Samsung has an app called Smart Switch to do this, but not sure if it will work with your Z. Your best bet may be to transfer what you can to a PC, then use the Smart Switch to transfer that data to the S7. Samsung does have some very helpful tips on their support website also.
Welcome. I've still got a Z10 for work as well as my own S7 Edge. The Z10 is a truly terrible phone - I'm sure you'll be happy with the S7!
I hate nearly everything about the Z10.
The interface seems to be based on random swiping with no visual cues on where to go and it's not consistent. Try swiping left or up to look at an email when you're on a call and you get cut off, but from other apps or screens you can. Sometimes I swipe left, I get the hub, sometimes it will be email, texts...
Even from the lock screen, usually it lets me tap an email notification and enter my PIN and I'll go straight to the mail, other times it won't acknowledge and eventually tell me I have to swipe up. The phone is full of idiosyncrasies like this.
Everyone at our place hates them and we are all pushing for a switch to Android/iOS.
Anyway, it still works after a couple of years I suppose.
Any other ideas to just transfer contacts?

I can honestly say I never had any of those problems. Productivity wise, there really is no better OS than BB10 in my opinion. But the app situation has killed it, along with a lack of support or interest from BlackBerry themselves. I still use a Z30,Q5 and a Passport SE. All work perfectly and battery life is easily the best of the bunch. Shame the OS is being slowly killed.

So smart switch doesn't work. Not even on the laptop, seems to just be a backup and restore option. Nothing to get them to link and switch. Main thing is sms that need to be switched over. Pics are on the SD card so biggie there.
