Thanks much for your VERY informative and professionally done video on the Samsung Smart Switch. It answered all of the questions I had including whether the micro-SD card had to be blank or whether it could contain previous data, to do a backup. Keep up the good work!

Brilliant, worked for me and I'm no tech geek.

Thanks for this video! I just got my S9 plus today and the struggle was real when I just wanted my contacts to my new phone without entering them all individually.

Thanks for this video, I noticed I'm missing my memo app along with all my notes, and I'm getting the exclamation icon on a whole album section on the gallery. Not sure if these pictures are missing or what. Should I redo this procedure again? Btw I went from a Galaxy S7 to a Galaxy S10 Plus.

At the END of your video you said to switch the sim card into the new phone BEFORE starting the smart switch. Do you think you could have put that at the beginning? My new phone is downloading all the information and I don't know if if will be wiped out when I put it the sim card. THANKS BRETT!

So Brett I have a question. Quite a few years ago I bought a new phone from best buy. I dreaded manually transferring all of my info from old phone to new one. The salesman that sold me the new phone said he could transfer all my old phone info to new phone in a matter of minutes just by attaching a cable between the 2 phones. This sounded great and I told him please do. Didn't really pay attention as to what he was actually tapping on the 2 phones but within 5 to 10 minutes it was complete. I did a quick check before we walked away to ensure transfer was complete and as far as I could tell all was there. Somewhere down the road I decided to purge my phone of old numbers I no longer needed as well as a few other things. No matter what I did I could not delete or get rid of anything that was transferred over from old phone, . Any new stuff that I added after transfer I could delete. It absolutely drove me crazy cause now I have a bunch of stuff on my phone that I don't use but can't get rid of. In my mind the info that got transferred became "HARDWIRED" to my new phone somehow. It was always there, taunting me as if to say "I'm always here whether you use me or not. " LOL !! Stay with me here I just had to give you some background info, I swear I'm not crazy!!. Since that time I think I have bought 2 new phones. Each time I decided to manually transfer all my info and other stuff. (What a long, pain in the butt process) Have you ever had this happen to you or know anyone that this has happened to? Im paranoid that if I do a wireless transfer I might be stuck with a bunch of info that I don't want or use anymore. I'm sure technology has improved since then. Anyways, sorry for the long drawn out story but that's my prior experience. I'm about to set up my new S10 and plan on doing the wireless transfer. Should I be worried or am I good? Love your videos, very informational and very well done, keep up the good work!!

What if your screen is blacked out and you cant do anything on it

[MomfurbabiesMaltese]

Thank you for this video. I have an old note 9 and a new one and as I am trying to follow your directions and nothing that you said in this video is working. It may just be me, but mine says I am connecting but the pictures of what to do is totally different from what you are constructing to do and I have to idea how to get a picture of my devices to you to maybe get a little more help from this very very helpful video here. My old phone says "CONNECTED TO GALAXY NOTE 9" AND THE NEW PHONE SAYS "CONNECTING TO BRING YOUR DATA it also displays up in the right hand corner on both phones 1, 2, 3 and it is highlighted on number one. This is so confusing trying to do this alone. I did take to the Tmobile store yesterday for them to do it and when I picked it up they clerk did not do her job at all, and I told her how unhappy I was with the results of them failing to switch all my files over to the new phone. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to help the world out with this video.

[jamesmonroe]

Please clarify .I want transfer all data from A to B. Should id the smart switch on a, (source) or B .old to new?

[Meowww._.]

Is it transfering EVERYTHING from the old device? Btw helpful video thx ^^

[glebz]

Thanks a lot - was transferring data from S5 to S9 that I just bought. Didn't work until I installed SS on S5.

[usiasburrows]

When you do it wirelessly does it send every thing like stuff from your SD card. And another question if I do it the external storage way do I have to format my SD card as portable or just pop it out and just put it in my new phone

[lanrugit]

Than for your informative videos. I have 2 questions. 1, I signed into my Google account before transferring stuff and bingo!, Good automatically brought into my S10 all my apps plus the display seeings from my S7e. What happens now when I do all the Smart Switch stuff?

Secondly, if I leave my micro ad in my S7e in place and insert a new micro SD inside my S10, will Smart Switch move the items on the S7e SD unto the new S10 SD?

Thank you.

When do you switch the sim card over to the new phone? Im moving a A5 to an A50.

[caringlovetv]

Where do you study about cellular phone technology? Thanks.

Do you need to check boxes for Images and Videos in order for save pictures sent in Messages?

[m.saintjohn]

I have 2 different Samsungs that have some duplicate and different data on them. Will it double the files or just replace the existing with the same if I use smart switch from both phones to my new phone. If that makes sense.

Does this copy over your old phones online history too? Or does it only copy over your samsung account and apps?
