transferring data to new phone

[Serkle K]

I'll ask here before starting a new thread, but if I transfer via smartswitch does my call logs and blocked numbers also get transferred over, or do I have to set those back up manually? I've gotten so many robo and telemarketing calls over the last few months alone, I'd hate to have to screen calls one at a time again.

I think this only ports over if you use SS and let it bring all compatible phone settings (I believe it may also partly depend on what you are moving from) I usually do a custom restore (I prefer to do most of my settings as a clean setup on a new device) when i went Note 7 to Note 7 i just did a full dump & restore.

Cheers,

As many have already mentioned, Smart Switch is a good choice. I've used it several times and it's ok.

I tried the Smart Switch and it worked perfectly

Can you pick & choose the items that can be transferred using Smart Switch or is it an all or nothing deal?

I Believe you can select what you bring over based on categories like contacts, messages, pictures and calendar. I don't believe you can do it individually, like John Doe contact and January's calendar, and Specific photos. This is my first Samsung to samsung device though so I could be wrong. when I switched from my BlackBerry to my S7E I used a combination of a BB content transfer app and the AT&T transfer app. That was all after 3 Note7s . For me that was such a headache So this time I'm taking my Time and probably going to use a combo of Smart switch and just moving my SD card over I didn't realize I had so many apps until now !

I have a ton of apps on the Pixel XL that I don't want on my Note and also on the old Lg G3 I am currently using so I think I'll just restore the google stuff from google and do the apps one at a time.

You can also select what you want restored and also deselect certain apps you don't want restored. It's not all or nothing.

You can pick and choose. Just take your time as you go through the process.
