Wife has had 2 phones; one for personal & one for her business.  The personal Phone No1 is past it, a Samsung GS3 that is starting to be a problem. No 2 is a quite new Samsung J7 currently the business phone.  She started needing a tablet urgently for business spreadsheets, product manuals & customer quotes and ideally a Samsung one but they have nothing new lately and we have done the "Not buying the latest model" mistake and we do not know when Samsung will update the tablet S2's.   She really needed it "NOW" so I bought a Huawei Media Pad M3.  It is a nice piece of kit and will take a sim card and a micro SD but I am stuck with the job of swapping the data, data card and sim cards from the GS3 to the J7; and then the J7 data to the Huawei M3.  She will use the J7 for both business & personal phone calls and the Huawei will be a tablet with Sim-card data connectivity if she needs to grab info from base where there is no Wi-fi or as a backup spare phone.

I guess Samsung smart switch will not work "phone to phone" on the Huawei M3.  I used it twice before, once for me and once for her last upgrade but she complains that a lot of her Line stuff did not come across so I am a bit lost.  Is there a really good Ap or an easy way of cloning one Android device's data to another Android device?  Android "properties'" looks like a lot of stuff is hidden when I browse inside with Windows Explorer.  Failing a really easy to use and secure software ap solution, is there anyone in Pattaya or BKK where we could guarantee to find an exert who could do it while we wait? We would expect to pay.  This must be a common problem.  Nobody wants to start again each time they upgrade.  I can swap the SD cards, and load all her aps again but the data is the bit that is bothering me,

The apps can be synced from the Play Store across two or more devices. A cloud service, like Google Drive, can be used to back-up, sync, access data ("business spreadsheets, product manuals & customer quotes") across multiple devices.

 

You can use "Tag & Go" (Android 5.0/above feature) at initial set-up of the "new" device (enable Bluetooth and NFC) to copy from the "old" device. Or if you'v enabled Google back-up, you can restore a recent config. from the "old" device.

 

 

 

Last week I upgraded from a Samsung to a Huawei. Whilst signing into same Google account synced all the same apps again, the settings within app were still missing. I then used the free Helium app to transfer the app settings and then my Hauwaei looked virtually identical to the Samsung.

Take note that LINE has it's own unique set of roadblocks transferring conversations one phone to another.  There is a very annoying step by step, message by message process but AFAIK, there is no way to import all past conversations as a block.

I use the App Helium. It works quite well.
