When you transfer your account to a new device, certain information is collected to perform services on your device. Some of this functionality uses Google Play services. For example, the following information is collected:
You will have the option to choose which data you wish to transfer. While it is transferring, you will see a percentage on the screen letting you know how far it is. The time taken will depend on the amount of data and the strength of your connection.
Some contacts may have been stored on the old device with both the area code '+44' and the '0' in the phone number e.g. +44 (0) 7777777777. If so, the number may start with '+440' after being transferred, making the contact number invalid.
When it's time to switch from your older Android phone to a new one, you'll want to make sure all of your data makes its way across safely. With the 2023 launch season in high gear and Samsung continuing attractive offers for the Galaxy S23 series, a lot of users have migrated to the latest flagships. So if you've switched to a model in the S23 portfolio, or picked up the standout Pixel 7a, OnePlus 11, or any of the new launches in 2023, here's what you need to know about migrating all the data on your old phone to your new one.
Best of all, the data that Google automatically backs up doesn't count toward your 15GB free Google Drive storage quota, so you don't have to worry about running out of storage. The feature backs up call history, app data, contacts, device and home screen settings, and text messages. So before you switch to a new phone, it makes sense to see if this data is already on the cloud.
Note: We're using a Pixel phone for reference, but the steps outlined below will be the same for all the best Android phones running Android 7.0 Nougat and above. You can always search for backup in the settings search bar to find the option.
Pro tip: Go to contacts.google.com to see if all the contacts from your previous phone migrated to your Google account. The contacts that you see on this page will be the ones that show up on your new phone.
This is a good option to consider, as Photos doesn't offer unlimited uploads anymore; once you run out of storage, you will have to buy a Google One plan. That said, it is the best way to back up photos and videos from your Android phone. Once the data is backed up to the cloud, you'll be able to access your photos and videos from your new phone and on the web. If you haven't set up Photos yet, here's how to get started.
You've unboxed your new phone and are ready to set it up. There are a few ways to restore data from your older device, and here I'm highlighting the option that has worked best for me over the years (I switch phones once every two weeks, so I know what I'm talking about).
That's all there is to it. Once setup is finished and you get to the home screen, you'll see the Play Store running in the background and restoring data from your old phone. This can take up to an hour based on the amount of content installed on your old phone and your internet connection, so you can let that run while configuring the rest of the settings on your new phone.
If your new phone is a Samsung Galaxy phone, we have some good news. Samsung's propriety app called Smart Switch makes everything as simple and easy as Google's new data copying process. You can use the Samsung Smart Switch app to transfer all your data from your old Galaxy phone to your new Galaxy phone in almost exactly the same way.
So, whether your new device is a top-tier flagship like the S23 Ultra or a mid-range phone like the Galaxy A54 5G, you can take advantage of Smart Switch to copy all you need. Samsung Smart Switch even works offline, transferring all your settings, messages, data, call logs, and backgrounds over a USB-C-to-C cable.

2 yrs ago I used Samsung Smart Switch to transfer Evernote Premium from one Android phone to another with no problem. I now cannot transfer it to a new Android phone from either my Android tablet or phone. The icon is transferred but no notes- I am just invited to write my first note. I have tried downloading Evernote directly but can get only a new basic version ( limit 2 devices) unless I pay again . I have given all attempts 48 hours to synch. No success. There seems to be no way of downloading a version and logging into it with the hope of syncing.
On a desktop, this is different for legacy clients, if you have local notebooks. Local notebooks need to be transferred manually. If not, it works the same as on mobile: Install, log in, sync, done. The difference is that on a desktop a full copy of the server data will be downloaded.
Many thanks, but I have tried all this. My sub for Premium is paid but to be double sure I deleted EN from my old phone so now have it on only one device. As I said, I have downloaded EN but download gives me only a free trial Basic version and invites me to make my first note, even after allowing 48 hrs for synch. I download from Google Play ( on redirection from Evernote.com ) which asks for my password, which I have changed to coincide with my EN password. When EN is installed it does not ask me to login, just displays "Write your first note". Any other suggestions please.
It appears your issue is that you're not logged in to Evernote on your new phone with the same account that you are using to subscribe to premium. I suggest you go to your email (or wherever you might have your receipt acknowledging your premium subscription) and confirm the email address that you used to subscribe to Evernote. Also confirm that your premium subscription was renewed within the last 12 months (as it's typically a yearly purchase).
Then, make sure you login to Evernote using that same email address. On the Evernote app for Android, I believe you can login using a new account by tapping on the "hamburger" menu (three horizontal lines resembling a hamburger inside a bun) that should be on the top-left of the app. Once you do, all your old notes should sync to the phone as @PinkElephantdescribed.
Select Import > From a connected device, then follow the instructions. You can pick the items you want to import and select where to save them. Allow a few moments for detection and transfer.
Are you by any chance shooting RAW and trying to transfer that to the phone? You need to shoot RAW+JPG or JPG, in your camera for it to transfer, or it will transfer only the embedded thumbnail jpg from the RAW file.
Yes!!! That was the issue. To transfer 42 MP photos (jpg only), you must set the playback memory card to be the one to which you are writing the JPG files. So I have RAW recording to the UHS2 SD card in slot 1, JPG recording to the UHS1 SD card in slot 2, and playback set to slot 2. Now I can transfer 42MP files to my iPhone.
