[Q] How do i migrate from old phone to new phone?

Hi All!
Happy Christmas and merry new year to you guys!
I re-post this, because i apparently asked it first wrongly on a ROM-thread..
I wanted to check from you if anyone has any guide/tool that I should use when moving all olad apps from an old phone to a new phone. I will install Gin2Kitcat on the new phone, and many apps in my old phone save their data in the phone's memory, so they will not be transferred to the new phone by just moving the SD-card and re-installing the apps.
Is there anything else (than sms and callogs) that I should remember to backup before moving data to a new phone (in my case to a brand new Xperia Pro instead of my old over 2 years old Xperia Pro! )

For apps, you will need root. And Titanium Backup is the best option there.
Contacts - use the built-in contacts app to back them up.
Messages, Calendar, Call Log - personally using Mobile Backup 2 app.

You can use Titanium Backup to backup messages, call log, browser bookmarks and Wi-Fi settings as well. Contacts can be synchronised with your Google account so you don't need to backup. Just in case, you can also backup your contacts to the SIM card or SD card if I can remember correctly.

Disappearing Contacts

Does anybody else have this problem or have a solution for disappearing phone contacts. I have the Le 1 Pro US with the original 11s rom. I start out with over 50 phone contacts, but soon it dwindles down to 6 or 7. I've read about this problem with other phones, such as Samsung. So, I think it might be a bug with the Android operating system. It's a good thing I have a backup vcf file, so it's easy to restore my contacts. But, it's an annoyance if I have to make a quick call.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Search XDA forum for letv 1 pro us stock ROM ... Update your phone as per instructions in comments......It will sort out problem.....Also make sure you are storing contacts on Google and not phone.....This can be done in settings....Lastly also install another contacts app from playstore....So many are available now

I think I solved the problem. After you've restored your contacts, go to Settings>Account Management>Google>your Google account>Contacts>turn off sync. After doing this my contact list is stable for a few days now.

Hi cloud on Honor 8 pro has only two items for backup

Hey fellow Honor 8 pro users
I have observed that honor 8 pro has Hi cloud but is only limited to contacts and call log. Is it same for you all or is there a work around to backup more items like apps, home screen state etc.
I once happened to stumble upon a more elaborate hicloud, could select more items but it was painfully slow and my ISP had to do some maintenance same day and it kind of got failed (after spending whole morning and noon backing up fhe data)
I cannot find that option again, it allowed me to back up contacts, call log, apps and app data, homescreen state and photos (except for the camera forder perhaps due to the large size of the pics... idk why the omission)
All I can find now is a message that says this isn't enabled for your region.
I like inhouse cloud apps because it automates the restoration after a flash or factory reset. Convenient and no need to bother about forgetting an item or two during backups because it is a one time check. And the phone returns to earlier state with all your customizations.
Note I want to collect as many responses as possible and forward this to Huawei so they can implement a full fledged cloud backup in India. So please be vocal.
PS : This is only regarding 'HiCloud', yes there are third party apps but I like inhouse cloud backup like icloud, Xiaomi's mi cloud etc. So please do not start with who uses that anymore when there are this and that.
Thank You.

Should be a backup to cloud option in WhatsApp itself

There is indeed, go to SETTINGS/CHATS and there is an option called CHAT BACKUP... Select it, click the big arsed green backup button... Wait for it to fully backup to the cloud.
Make sure you have a Sim in the S9, run Whatsapp on the s9, activate it with the text message that they will send.. The first thing Whatsapp will do is offer to restore your backup from the cloud... Make sure you accept the offer.. It's a one time offer only.

If you know how to transfer photos ,contacts and music from iPhone Samsung, moving WhatsApp History is not hard for you ,

It's pretty much how I laid it out step for step.

You can start here :https://www.tunesbro.com/transfer-whatsapp-message-from-iphone-to-android.html

I am wondering that how you connect your iPhone and Samsung , i've failed several times before and I've given up .

If you want to move WhatsApp history from iPhone to Samsung S9, neither iCloud or Google drive can work with this. Luckily here is a video about this, watch and follow it.

You could follow the steps to transfer WhatsApp History from iPhone to Android:
1.Open WhatsApp on iPhone and log in.
2.Open setting>chats>chats backup
3.Tap "backup now" to backup your WhatsApp history
4.Install WhatsApp on Android phone
5.Sign in your WhatsApp account on Android phone.
Then you can find WhatsApp history on your Android phone.

Where's the app to transfer data?

I just got my Mi 10 t pro after buying it in the singles day sales. I can't for the life of me find the app that I would use to transfer data (contacts, sms, photos at a push). I'm upgrading from an HTC U11. Googling for an answer suggests MiMover which isn't on the Xiaomi and can't be found in the Play store (from UK). ShareMe on the Mi 10 t pro has a "Mi Mover" icon inside it, but when I install Xiaomi ShareMe on the HTC, the MiMover icon isn't there.
Google backup doesn't work for me on the HTC (it shows "waiting to backup" which is possibly because the phone is encrypted).
Exporting my contacts on the HTC gave me a vef file which the Xiaomi doesn't recognise. Exporting my sms gave me an .hbk file which the xiaomi doesn't recognise.
Any clues / pointers would be welcome.
Thanks, PT

Answering my own question here:
The .vef file exported from my HTC is an encrypted vcf file. I was able to re-export this as a vcf and trasfer the file to the Xiaomi separately.
I then used SMS backup and recover to tranfer across sms and call logs.
I'm still shocked that I couldn't find / figure out the Xiaomi app to get this job done.

Google backup does a really good job, most of the time. So there's really no need for a separate app. I don't know why your u11 didn't backup, but encryption isn't it, because 99% of phones today have encryption in system itself...

Sorry for the delayed reply. If you want to back up data on your Android phone to the computer easily, my suggestion is Coolmuster Android Backup Manager. Its free backup function can help us back up data like contacts, text messages, call logs, videos, music, photos, apps, ebooks from your Android phone to the computer via USB cable connecting easily. If you still has such problem, please try it. And hope it will work well on your phone.
