A considerable number of users who decide to purchase a new device are faced with the problem of transferring data from their former device to a new one. Data transfer from Android to Android can be carried out by several methods, which we will talk about today. To begin, let's deal with the transfer of contacts from the phone book, since this scenario is most common in practice.
We use a personal computer
To transfer data from “Android” to “Android” using a personal computer, we need several components: for example, an old smartphone that stores the information we need, a PC or laptop, as well as a USB cable. about the software that will transfer data from “Android” to “Android”, here you should mention a program called MOBILedit. The utility should be downloaded to your computer. If you downloaded the archive, then unpack it and install the program. When the mouth the new product will be completed, go to Mobile Edith.
It should be noted that you first need to activate the utility. What means - legal (buying a license for money) or illegal (cracker-cracker) - is up to you. We will not give advice and guidance on this part, as well as paint instructions. Immediately go to the start of the operation. So, in order to transfer data from “Android” to “Android”, you need to launch “Mobile Edith” and download the drivers necessary for working with mobile devices. There is one workaround here that will allow the user to save his time and nerves. To do this, simply select the manufacturer of our device and confirm the consent to the process of installing drivers.
If everything is ready
After the installation has been completed, proceed to the next step. To do this, open the tab called "Phone". There we find the "cable connection". When the program issues a connection request, select PC Sync. Note that in some versions of the program the name is different, but, in general, everything is similar. Therefore, it will be difficult to make a mistake.
By the way, this depends not only on the version of the program, but also on what brand (and also model) your device has. Then it remains to enable debugging via USB. This feature is available on all devices running the Android operating system.
How to activate USB debugging on a smartphone?
First, go to the settings of our device. After that, we go to the item called "Developer Options", where we look for the corresponding function and put a checkmark in the tiny window reserved for this. When this is done, the data transfer adapter (and in our case a USB cable) will begin to fulfill its immediate responsibilities.
So, now back to the Mobile Edith program. In it, we will manage the actions that will ensure the transfer of the contact database from our old device.
File creation
On the left side of the program’s working panel you can see a tab called “Phonebook”. There you must select the export function. Specify the file extension. In our case, it should be csv. We also show the computer or laptop where to save the file, which we are preparing for export from the old device.
Enter the name and click on the button, confirming the process. Thus, the first stage of the operation must be successfully completed.
Transferring everything to a new device
We take our new device, which, in fact, requires you to download contacts. We have already prepared the export file, and the only task that now faces us is to upload the same file to our brand new smartphone. This can be done by various communication methods. These include outdated boot methods via USB cable and the Bluetooth feature, as well as a relatively new one via Wi-Fi.
The only thing you need to do in the program is to select a position called "Import". And there we already indicate the path to the contact file we exported earlier. It turns out that we disassembled such an operation as transferring data from Android to a computer and in the reverse order.
Transfer data from Android to iPhone
If you recently purchased a device running the iOS operating system, and previously used the device based on the Android family of OS, then it will be useful to learn how to transfer data from an old smartphone to a new one. Ready to move to a new platform, but want to at least partially save the data? In this case, read on.
What is required?
In order to transfer data from Android to iPhone, we will need to pre-install a program called Move to iOS. Perhaps, besides this, we will need a small margin of time, attentiveness and the ability to clearly follow elementary instructions.
Preparing the workspace
For the data exchange to be successful, it will be necessary to prepare in advance the tools that we, with permission, will operate. What is included in this set of procedures? First, we check the stability of the connection with the Wi-Fi access point, as well as its activation along with the activation of the receiver module on the smartphone. We don’t need the Android programs for data transfer, except for the one that was mentioned earlier.
Next, we connect both devices to their power sources. Check the memory status on the device running the iOS operating system. This is necessary so that the exported file fits on a new smartphone. Otherwise, the data transfer processing process will be interrupted.
We use functions
When you set up your new iOS-based device, open the menu entitled "Programs and Data." There you can find a function called “Transfer data from the Android operating system. It is possible that the setting has been completed earlier. If this is true, then we just take and delete the data from the device running iOS. The same procedure is performed again. Well, if the data is important and you do not want to lose it, you can transfer it manually, it will take a little time, but the files will be saved.
Apply the program
So, open Move to iOS on our Android smartphone. There we click the "Continue" button. The terms of the license agreement will be displayed . Of course, no one forces you to read them, just agree to the relevant provisions. To do this, click the "Accept" button. After that, you can continue to work. Now the turn of the "Next" button. In the upper corner you need to find the "Code Search" element. We will continue to work with him.
Waiting for completion
We open a screen called “Transfer from the Android OS. There we click“ Continue. ”We are waiting for the program to give us a ten-digit code. The user must know an interesting fact: a notification about the speed may be displayed on the device running the Android operating system connection to the international network has been reduced. In fact, you should not pay attention to this at all, just ignore the notification, since it carries practically no load.
We use the received code and select the contents
When the ten-digit code is generated and provided to the user, you can proceed to continue the data transfer operation. By the way, a screen should now be displayed in which we, in fact, will do it. We take our device running the Android OS and there we select the files that we want to export to iPhone. After the choice is made, click the "Next" button.
At this point, you should act carefully, without touching the devices, between which, in fact, synchronization occurs. You can monitor the progress of the operation using the download indicator displayed on the screen. When everything is completed, the indicator will show this. You can also verify this using the "Android", which will issue a notification. It should be said that it is impossible to determine the time unequivocally, since the procedure can take various intervals. It all depends on how much data you are trying to export and then import.
Configure iPhone after transfer
When you see that the indicator on the device running the iOS operating system has reached the end, you can click the "Finish" button on your smartphone with the Android OS. Next, click on the Continue iPhone. This will allow us to complete the transfer procedure and configure the device for its further use. In general, everything is quite simple here, you just need to follow the instructions that appear on the screen.
The final stage
We can only make sure that the exported data was correctly received by our iPhone. It is possible that at some point the transmission failed. If this is true, then the procedure can be repeated manually, transferring individual files in other ways.
About other data transfer methods
If we talk about other, more complex ways, we can mention the use of an email account in the Google Mail system. Also possible with the use of cloud storage - Yandex.Disk. Among exclusively mobile methods is the use of SIM cards and flash memory drives. But the most popular and convenient is still the use of a personal computer or laptop with a smartphone connected to it.
