Note3 to Pixel XL.

[Chuckcell]

So I'm tired of waiting for Samsung to release the Note7 or 8, or whatever it's supposed to be. And maybe I've gone over to the dark side but this XL is certainly impressive. Various bumps along​ the way, Area Codes, and wifi hiccups and wishing for a stylus (withdrawal symptoms?).
I get better cell reception at work, the Verizon antenna may be closer?, and that's part of the improvements I was looking for, oh yeah and I _don't_ miss the clutter of the AT&T and Samsung apps I never used.
I'll get to speaking Pixel quick enough.

Google has "help" pages for the Pixels. So I hied myself over there to see . OK, it says I tap "Let's Go" and with the Note3 connected to the XL by cable (with adapter) I can transfer over contacts, calender, photos, etc.
That's nice ... but "Let's Go" doesn't seem to be there.

for contacts & calendar i always save it to my gmail account so that i dont have to worry about transferring to other phone when switching phone. I am sure u could have done the same with note 3.

Lets go is probably the arrow for enter

I tried backing up contacts and calendar on the Note 3. I have a Gmail account but that doesn't seem to work on this phone.
Got to be a short between the ear cups.

i would go to contacts app settings and set default to gmail. i have seen that option in other samsung phones. but i might be wrong note 3 might not had that option

I have not found a Gmail setting/option in the AT&T/Samsung Calender app. Perhaps I'm looking in the wrong place?

When you back up said items what's the end result? Are you given a file? If so what type? Or . . is this merely a cloud based backup to your Samsung account online?

Having dealt with migration from contacts storage on SIM cards to using an iPhone (with contacts on the cloud years ago) I ended up going cloud based on Gmail and haven't looked back. I would think that the answer for contacts migration is to export your contacts to some format like CSV and then use the import function on Gmail (web browser on a computer) to import the contacts in.

Calendars I don't know about - I've been using outlook and gmail calendars since i started using calendars on my devices so I don't know how to migrate into said systems from any other.

I think I've got the Contacts ported over. Note3 to Google, Google to Pixel.
But Calender, hmmm. If there's an export function there I'm not finding it.
It's either a Samsung, therefore baked in, app or AT&T, and almost baked in, I'm still hunting for that export. Going to look at (ugh) Kiees next.
