So my new Maxx is on the way and should be here tomorrow. In preparation I'm trying to figure out how to migrate my apps/ saved app files/ photos/contacts etc to the new phone from my Droid 3. The D3 was my first droid so I'm still struggling a bit to understand it all so go easy on me.
Here's what I think I'm going to do. (and don't tell me to root and run Titanium backup as that's not an option due to corporate policies.)
1. Contacts - I'm going to rely on backup assistant to handle these as it seems to be running normally on a daily basiis.
2. Apps I've bought/dl'd from the market will be tied to my gmail account and will allow me to re-install them on a new phone.
3. Saved data for apps. I think if I move the apps to the SD card using manage apps/media area I should be able to bring them with me to the new phone and then move them to phone memory by doing the reverse on the new phone, correct?
4. Side loaded apps. I downloaded a few apk files and installed apps and then paid for them via the developer's website. I know I can just re-install the apk file again and re-enter license info, but how do I get app data for these apps to new phone?
5. Photos/videos/files? How do I move these to the new phone? Do I need to go into a corporate store to get it done quickly?
Am I missing anything else I'll need to transfer over?
Thanks,
Eric
