How can I transfer music from a Nexus 4 to a LG G3?

[Kimberly Taylor2]

I recently upgraded to the LG G3, and while I love this phone I am frustrated that I can't seem to transfer my music from the Nexus 4 I had. I've tried to sync via Bluetooth (which is how I transferred the music to that phone), and I've tried through both our PCs. I am hoping someone can help me here. I used a different gmail for the G3, but I never used Google Play music.

Here is what you should do. Take the music you have in your nexus 4 and transfer it into the LG cloud, you can download that app through the playstore. Then just download that same app into your g3 and then all you have to do is download from the cloud into your g3. It sounds like alot but it really is pretty simple and doesn't take as long as it may sound. I hope you have luck.

Similar to Scotty729. When I went from note3 to LG G3 I did the same but with Dropbox.

You might be able to use WiFi Direct. It works kinda like Bluetooth, creating a direct connection between both devices, but wifi transfer speeds are a lot faster than Bluetooth. All you have to do is install the same wifi direct app on each phone from the play store, and then pair them together through the wifi settings.

Just park it on your computer wirelessly and pull from the G3 as needed. You can easily do this through ES File Explorer app. I keep referencing that app on here because it is an extremely useful tool.

Ideally you want all your songs on a computer hard drive or similar storage for backup and safekeeping.

Wow you can do that through ES File Explorer? I love ES but I had no idea. How do you do that?

Goto the menu on the left and select Network, LAN.

Then touch New + at the bottom. Fill out the IP of your machine and you can use Anonymous for logging in. Just remember to share some directories.
