How to transfer data from "Android" to "Android": step by step instruction, description and programs

Many before the transition to the platform "Android" used proprietary applications to transfer and work with the data of a particular phone. For example, for Nokia devices it was a common practice to create a backup copy on the computer of the old gadget, and then transfer all the information to a new one - simply, logically and conveniently. To do this, it was enough to get a program Nokia PC Suite.

The situation with the "Android" devices is a bit different. Contacts to the new phone are downloaded after entering all the identification data and synchronizing with the account in Google. All that is required for this is the Internet and registration in the search engine. Before you transfer data from Android to Android, you just log into your Google account, automatically copying your contacts to a new phone from the company's servers.

However, this does not happen with other data. Of course, you can do without old SMS messages, bookmarks or some other notes, but on the other hand, when changing gadgets or simply resetting all of its settings to factory settings, you do not really want to lose absolutely all the information. So, let's try to figure out how to transfer data from Android to Android, without losing them and not being confused in all the variety of third-party programs.

NTS

Built-in software for HTC devices through a special "migration wizard" will allow you to migrate your data from the old phone to a new one. The application showed itself in the work very well, coping with a large and "raznosherstnym" volume of data.

To transfer information, the utility of the HTTS Transfer Tool uses the wireless protocols "Wai-Fi Direct". With it, you can easily transfer all SMS messages, bookmarks, calendars, calls, videos, photos, drawings, music, contacts and other documents.

The application has a rich functionality, all settings are understandable even to novice users, but, as expected, this software works exclusively with NTS devices, and not lower than the fifth version of Sense. Before moving the data from Android to Android, it is worth noting that the old phone from which you need to export information can be from any manufacturer, but not earlier than Android 2.3, but the receiver is exclusively from the NTS.

Motorola

Similar tools can be found in Motorola. Fans of this brand certainly appreciated the capabilities of the Motorola Migrate utility. Before moving data from Android to Android, it's worth mentioning that, just like in the first case, the application can only work with smartphones of the same name. Restrictions on the version of "Android" - not earlier than 4.1, not later than 5.1 and with the exception of the models "Nexus".

As a source of export can be devices on platforms "Android" with a version no lower than 2.2. If the role of the original phone is played by an old model on an unsupported platform, then the maximum that can be done is just to transfer contacts, and all the rest of the information will have to be left in the old gadget.

Before you transfer data from Android to your iPhone using Motorola software, it's worthwhile to know that migration will be available only for contacts and calendar, and all the rest, alas, will remain.

Samsung

The company as an export tool offers its user a proprietary Smart Switch application. The data set for migration is very impressive: contacts, videos, photos, bookmarks, calendars, SMS messages, documents and gadget settings.

Before you transfer data from Android to your computer, it is worth noting that the source of migration can be phones no earlier than the 4.0 version of the OS "Android", as well as any iOS. Information from the latest platform can be downloaded via iCloud or via a regular USB cable. And even the paid music of the application "HayTuns" will be transferred. The latest version of Smart Switch is fully compatible with gadgets of the Galaxy family (since version S2).

LG

LG also took care of a similar software for its fans. With the rather simple utility LG Backup, you can export contacts, notes, photos, videos, bookmarks, SMS messages, documents and voice files.

As a source of migration can act any phone on the platform "Android" with firmware from JellyBean. Before you transfer data from Android to a USB flash drive, and then to a new smartphone, you should be aware that there are a lot of negatives in software reviews, so some LG gadget owners prefer to use third-party applications.

Sonya

The famous brand also provided an opportunity for its users to work with data through the proprietary Xperia Transfer Mobile application. The utility perfectly synchronizes the devices on the basis of "Android", iOS and "Windos Fon". With it, you can export contacts, photos, videos, calls, sms and mms messages, notes, bookmarks, documents and gadget settings.

Migration can occur on tablets, laptops and smartphones. The program works in such a way that it eliminates duplication of data if synchronization with search engine accounts was performed. Before you transfer data from Android to iOS, it's worth knowing that the application supports all the gadgets of this platform: ipad, iphone and ipod, starting with the fourth version of "iCloud."

It is also worth noting that the utility perfectly copes with the export of information on devices running "Windows Vista" version 8.0 without any restrictions in both directions.

Universal packages for SMS messages

Many branded applications perfectly handle the transfer of contacts, calendars, notes, music and other information, but, judging by the feedback of users, very often "stall" while working with SMS messages, so if this is your case, you can recommend separately written Software for such options.

One of the most popular and universal utilities for exporting SMS messages is SMS Backup & Restore. It is able to work with platforms "Android" from 1.5 to 5.x version. Before moving data from Android to iPhone or Android, it's important to note that the application does not export calendars, contacts, or any other information - just sms, so do not expect it to have rich functionality.

Functionality

With this software you can save a local copy of all your messages with subsequent unloading on such resources as "DropBox", "Google Drive", or email popular search engines. In addition, the utility is able to back up SMS messages on a schedule, save sms separately from the selected contact, that is, save (or restore) only the necessary conversations. Very useful function, if you need to separate out, for example, correspondence with the bank, with your beloved person or currency services.

It should also be mentioned that the SMS backup is stored in the device's memory (on the internal or on the SD card), so before resetting your phone settings or transferring data to a new one you should send the information to the e-mail via the utility or upload it to the "Cloud" .

Software can be purchased in both free and paid versions. In terms of functionality, both versions are no different, but the first option is simply teeming with advertising, while the second one works faster, there is no need to constantly close pop-ups.

Summarizing

In the "Google Play" you can find other utilities that will help you transfer data from one device to another. But before installing an application, first make sure that the software supports your device and the platform on which it is running. It would be superfluous, of course, to review the feedback of users about the program they liked, and if they do not have so much negative, you can try it.
