Transfer data between phones. Transferring an application between Android devices. Transfer from SIM card

The settings names are for pure Android. In third-party firmware, such as MIUI, Flyme, OxygenOS, look for something similar.

Step 1: Prepare to migrate your data

Make sure both smartphones are charged. Connect the old one to Wi-Fi. Otherwise, you risk spending a lot of mobile traffic.

Surely yours old smartphone already linked to your Google account. If you're not sure, go to Settings → Accounts and find your account there.

If you don't have an account, you can add one. Click the "Add Account" button at the bottom of the screen and select Google. Enter your smartphone password if prompted and follow the onscreen instructions.

Step 2. Sync your old smartphone data with your account

On your old smartphone, open Settings → Accounts and select your Google account there. Click on it.

Click "More" → "Sync". Wait until the process completes.

Step 3: Back up your old smartphone to your Google Account

Usually backup enabled in Android by default, but not always. So let's make sure that all information - contacts, calendar, mail, settings, application data - is securely stored in your Google account.

On your old smartphone, open “Settings” → “System” → “ Additional settings» → “Backup”. Make sure that the "Upload to Google Drive" switch is turned on and that the desired address is specified in the "Account" section. Then click “Start copying” → “Continue”.

The backup process will begin. It will save the data to your Google Drive. This operation may take a long time, especially if you have been using your smartphone for a long time and a lot of data has accumulated there.

When the process is complete, you can put away your old smartphone.

By the way, you can get to the backup panel not only from the phone settings, but also from “ Google Drive" To do this, open the application and click on the icon with three horizontal lines at the top left. Then go to Settings → Backup & Reset. Then everything is identical.

Step 4. Recover data on a new smartphone

If the new smartphone is not activated

Turn your new smartphone and follow the instructions of the setup wizard. Select your language and region and connect to the Internet.

The wizard will offer to transfer your data to a new smartphone. Click "Next" and select the "Copy from cloud storage" option.

Enter your Google account login and password and accept the terms of the license agreement.

Select the desired backup from the list and, if required, enter the password for your old smartphone. Specify what exactly needs to be transferred and click “Restore”.

Continue following the wizard's instructions. The restore will be performed in the background.

When the setup of the new smartphone is complete, wait 10 minutes: Android will install all applications from the old device.

If your new smartphone is activated

Let's say your smartphone has already been turned on. For example, a consultant in a store showed you his work. In this case, there are two options.

Option 1

Open Settings → System → Advanced settings → Reset settings. If there is no “Advanced settings” item, select “Reset settings” directly from the “System” menu.

Select “Erase all data” → “Reset phone settings”. Wait for the device to reboot.

Now follow all the steps from the previous instructions with the settings wizard.

Option 2

If you don't want to reset anything, go to Settings → Accounts (or Users & Accounts, or Sync). Click the "Add Account" button at the bottom of the screen. Select your Google account type.

Enter your smartphone password if prompted and follow the onscreen instructions. You will need to enter your email address and Google account password.

In the Settings → Accounts menu, select the added Google account. Click on it.

Make sure all required data types are checked. If they are not there somewhere, put them down.

Click "More" → "Sync". Wait for the synchronization to complete. This way you will transfer contacts, mail, calendar, but not applications to the new smartphone.

To copy them, open Google Play and click on the icon with three horizontal lines at the top left. Open My Apps & Games.

Go to the Library tab and install your apps manually.

Step 5. Transfer photos and videos to your new smartphone

The easiest way to do this is with the application " Google Photos" Run it on your old smartphone. Go to Settings → Backup and Sync and make sure the option is enabled. Then wait a bit for the download to finish.

Now all your pictures and videos will be uploaded to the cloud, and you can view them on your new smartphone via Google Photos.

If you don’t mind that the pictures will be stored in a compressed (but still quite high-quality) form, then you won’t even need to pay for their storage: you will be provided with unlimited storage in the cloud. Otherwise, you will have to purchase a subscription to the service.

Step 6: Copy Music and Other Files

If you have a lot of things stored in the memory of your old smartphone (for example, a collection of MP3 music or some documents), all this can be transferred manually via a USB cable.

Connect your old smartphone with a USB cable to your computer. Select File Transfer mode and copy everything you need. Then turn off your old smartphone.

Connect new phone and transfer all your data to it via Explorer or Finder.

In some cases, the computer may not immediately recognize the connected smartphone. Macs that are connected to older Androids are especially guilty of this. To deal with a similar problem, read our.

After purchasing a new smartphone, the question of transferring personal information from the old gadget to the new one becomes more pressing than ever. And if it’s quite easy to transfer video files with audio, then you’ll have to tinker with other data, because quickly copying the same contacts or SMS messages is quite problematic.

Let's try to figure out how to transfer data from Android to Android via a computer, using third party applications, through accounts search engines and in other ways. That is, to make this procedure as painless as possible for both the user and the smartphone.

Transfer using PC

In order to transfer data from Android to Android using personal computer, we will need old phone, from which you need to transfer information, the PC itself, a USB cable for synchronization (you can use Wi-Fi) and the MOBILedit program (you can download it from the official website of the developer).

The basic version of the program (Lite) has limited functionality, but it is quite enough for one-time copying of data from gadget to gadget. The extended, that is, paid version is intended, rather, for ardent fans to transfer something somewhere.

Copy Features

After installing the utility and then launching it, the program will offer to download all known drivers for smartphones/phones. To make the transfer of data from Android to Android faster, you can select the manufacturer of your device from the drop-down list and confirm the driver update.

After the driver update has been completed, you need to go to the “Phone - Cable Connection” tab and select the PC Sync mode in the pop-up window. Sometimes the name of another mode may appear (depending on the phone brand), but the meaning should be the same - synchronization (Sync).

"Settings".
Click on “Developer Options”.
Place a beacon next to the “USB Debugging” line.

Menu branches may differ depending on different versions"Android". For example, in platform 4.2 you need to open the “System” item, click on “Device Information” and go to the “Build Number” tab, where the debugging mode for USB interfaces is located. Keep this in mind before transferring data from Android to Android.

Applications of such a format as MOBILEDIT are intuitive and do not require any special knowledge or skills - everything is simple. Go to the “Export” tab and on the left side select the “Copy phone” item, and then in the central window we note exactly what data we need to copy: contacts, messages, photos, music, videos or applications.

After that, on the right side of the screen, select the file name and extension ( universal option for most smartphones - *.csv). Then we save it on the computer and transfer data from “Android” to “Android” via WiFi or USB cable using the “Import” menu branch. If everything is done correctly, a window will appear indicating that the transfer operation was successfully completed.

Copying data using a Google account

When you have a personal computer and an Internet connection at hand, you can transfer data from Android to Android via Google. The whole process is to synchronize your personal data with your search engine account. This is a fairly practical option, because you can make almost any changes to your contacts, calendars and edit other information without the direct participation of your smartphone.

The first thing you need to do is go to the Google Drive service on your old phone, where in the Export tab, back up the selected data (contacts, calendars, etc.) in *.csv format. To transfer data from Android to Android, go to your Google account on the new phone and use the same Google Drive and the Import tab to copy the information from the previously created file. In the future, all your selected data will be duplicated in your Google account.

"Yandex.Disk"

Transferring data from Android to Android using Yandex.Disk is quite simple. To successfully complete the procedure, you need to install the Yandex.Moving application on the old gadget, and the usual Yandex.Disk on the new device. You can download both the first and the second on the official Playmarket.

Transfer process

Both programs are entirely in Russian and are intuitive. First, you need to launch Yandex.Moving on your old phone and log into your account. Then select “Move” and select the necessary data to copy. The utility will give you a PIN code, which you will need a little later.

Then, on the new smartphone, launch the Yandex.Disk application and log into the same account. Next, in the settings, select the “Moving from phone to phone” section, where we enter the PIN code that was given to us earlier on the old gadget. The application will begin its work and upon completion will notify you that the transfer of data from Android to Android (Samsung devices do not show such messages) was successful.

Transfer over wireless protocols

If you don’t have a personal computer at hand, you can use wireless protocols“Bluetooth”, with which you can copy not only music, videos and photos, but also the phone book.

To synchronize, you must perform the following procedure:

activate the Bluetooth protocols on both phones (Bluetooth and Visible to other devices);
on the old gadget, open the “bluetooth” settings menu and start searching for a new device;
agree to communicate with the device by entering the same passwords;
select all the data you want to copy;
Confirm the transfer and wait for the process to complete.

If you want to transfer absolutely all the information from your old device to a new one, then in each section and subsection just click on the “Mark all” items, but then the procedure will take a lot of time, because the Bluetooth protocols have never been different high speed data transmission.

SD cards

You can copy almost all your data using external SD cards. If both mobile devices support the function of quick transfer using external media, the procedure will be as fast and “painless” as possible for both your nerves and devices.

Contacts

Surely everyone knows how to copy music, photos and videos using SD cards, but some problems may arise with transferring contacts, so we will consider this point in more detail.

Copy contacts using an SD drive:

insert the memory card into the old device;
go to the phone book and call up the pop-up menu, where there should be an “Export/Import” item;
click on the “Export to SD card” subsection and select all the contacts that we need to copy;
wait for the process to complete and reinstall the memory card on the new gadget;
go to the phone book of the new device and select the same “Export/Import” item in the pop-up menu;
in the “Import” subsection, click on the line “Load contacts from SD card”;
We wait until the slider reaches 100% and you can remove the memory card.

As for transferring contacts specifically, you can also use a SIM card, but this is rather an extreme case, because the main disadvantage of such copying is the limitation on the number of characters in the name. The process is similar to transferring data using SD cards, where you need to select “Export to SIM” from the pop-up menu. It is also worth noting that copying is limited to 200 contacts, so in some cases a repeat procedure is required.

On modern smartphones contains a lot of information. These include contacts, photographs, music, and various documents. In theory, we can start using the new device from scratch. But why, if now you can transfer data from one smartphone to another? This process does not take much time and only requires a little preparation.

The most important type of information is the contacts contained in the phone book. We bet that you haven’t written down phone numbers somewhere in a regular notebook or notebook for a long time. Therefore, losing all contacts can seriously fray your nerves. Fortunately, it is now easy to transfer your contact list from your old device to your new one.

Transfer passwords and photos

Using a Google account allows you to transfer data without any difficulty. But not all information is copied. By default, neither photos nor website passwords are transferred. Only third-party programs can solve this problem.

If you use the same browser on your new smartphone, there will be no problems. In particular, Google Chrome stores all your bookmarks, passwords and even open tabs. After installing the application, you will need to log in, after which you can again comfortably browse your favorite sites.

The service will help you transfer photos Google Photos. However, the content sent to the server is compressed, which not all users will like. If this does not suit you, then you can use Google Drive or similar. But then you won't have much free space in the “cloud”, which should also be remembered. If this option does not suit you, then transfer your photos and videos to your computer. And from it you can already transfer images to a new smartphone - it won’t be too difficult.

By the way, if all the photos are on the memory card, then all that remains is to rearrange it - you should not copy them anywhere.

Transfer music

Now you know how to transfer data from Android to Android. But the methods described above did not apply to music. It can also be synchronized with a Google account, but only through a special service. It's called Google Music. The service is capable of storing up to 50 thousand audio tracks. If they are synced, you can then play your music on any device that has access to the service.

The sad thing is that it's free to use Google Music only one to three months is possible. Also, this service does not work with formats FLAC And ALAC. Therefore, it is easier to transfer all the music to a computer or memory card.

Universal software

There are many third-party applications that help in transferring information from one device to another. Let's take a look at the utility as an example CLONEit - Batch Copy All Data. The developers claim that their creation is capable of transferring 12 types of information - from contacts to operating system settings. How to work with this application?

Step 1. You need to install the program on both devices.

Step 2. Launch the application, also on both devices.

Step 3. Now click on " Sender", and on the new one - " Recipient».

Step 4. Wait until the smartphones find each other and establish communication. Next, you just have to choose what data you need to transfer. When you decide on this, click the " CLONEit».

Many of us have faced the problem transferring contacts from phone to phone when purchasing a new device with a different operating system. If you need to transfer your contacts to a new smartphone, inexperienced users often complicate this process by entering data manually and forgetting about the possibility of automating the transfer process and in various ways synchronization But general algorithm no, because operating systems several and contact transfer is carried out various methods depending on where they need to be copied from. If we are dealing with a new Android phone, then in almost all cases the common feature is the participation of a Google account as an intermediary. To enable synchronization of your smartphone with your Google account, you need to follow the path “Settings” - section “Accounts” (Accounts) - item “Google” - select your account— and check the box “Synchronize Contacts”. This procedure is often repeated, so at the end of the article I wrote about it in a little more detail.

Transfer from SIM card

This option assumes that your contacts are stored on the SIM card, partially or completely. Be careful, some contacts may be stored in internal memory phone/smartphone.

Procedure for transferring contacts from SIM cards:

Open the Contacts app on your Android smartphone.
Press the “Menu” button and select “Import/Export”, which will open access to the list of contacts on the SIM card

Android - accounts and synchronization

Synchronization, which I wrote about at the end of each contact transfer method, is one of the most important features and most useful features Android devices. It allows you to interact with different accounts social networks And network services. The ability to add a new account depends on the relevant applications installed. For example, when installing Facebook, Evernote or Skype, you can set up synchronization with these services and add new accounts for them.

By default, only adding Google accounts, with which you can synchronize contacts, mail, calendar, tasks, applications and even create backups settings. By clicking on the selected entry, you can configure the synchronization frequency and the data that will be copied.

If you need to transfer your contact list from Android to Android without the help of the Internet and computer, then this can be done using memory card or SIM card.
This method will not work if you have different sizes of SIM cards on your phones or there is no connector for microSD card.
