Why does it keep asking for WiFi to transfer? It won't connect with my old phone hotspot , and I thought this used WiFi direct anyways? Connects, does a quick transfer before asking to transfer all data, etc....but when I select everything, it then asks for a WiFi connection? I have no WiFi network, just hotspot which is on my phone I want to transfer from.

Well, as usual when it comes to dealing with mobile phones, it's never as easy as it looks in the KZfaq tutorials. I've just had a hell of a lot of problems transferring from an old Samsung S8, over to the new S23. Everything starts well.... and then the old (pain in the ass) password requirements starts coming up. Of course, my wife has no idea about ANY passwords, so the whole thing comes to a grinding halt. After this, I played it by ear and managed to download data, but I don't know whether it is ALL the data.

Hi, just a clarification. I need to switch data from my old S10 to the new S24 using Smart Switch. I mounted a memory card on the old S10. How can I transfer the data stored on the memory card to the new S24 considering that there is no memory card slot on the S24? Does Smart Switch include this possibility?You mentioned this possibility at the beginning of the video, but I didn't understand if the data on the SD card will be copied to the internal memory of the new device or not. Thanks and sorry if I ask you something you've already talked about.

@TropicalTech 5 ай бұрын

It should be able to if that option appears as a category. However as nothing is deleted, you can always transfer this data at any time by copying the files to a PC and then to the new phone.

How long would it take to do the transfer? I'm assuming it varies from user to user depending on what they have on their phone but for most people is it a matter of minutes or hours?

@TropicalTech 9 ай бұрын

Yes it depends on the amount of data required and the WiFi speed (if you choose wireless transfer). If you transfer with the cable it would probably take 10-15 minutes max. If you use WiFi it could be a bit longer, but if you are setting up the new phone you can continue with some of the setup.

Thank you so much for this video. I have a question; I use Samsung S9+ with 128GB internal memory and a sd card storage 32GB, and would like to transfer data to my new Samsung A34 with 128GB internal memory and a sd card storage 128GB. Now, while transferring the data from my old phone to new phone, would the sd card storage 32GB data be transferred to the internal memory of my new phone or the sd card storage 128GB? I am really confused here, help would be appreciated.

@TropicalTech 5 ай бұрын

I wouldn’t worry about it as you can always transfer that data after using smart switch, but you can transfer data from the SD card, it’s explained here by Samsung: www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00087143/ However, with it being a new SD card I’m not 100% certain on where it would move the data to for the transfer. I’d personally say it would be easier to transfer the data from SD card to SD card manually using a PC or laptop if you can.

@zurainkhokhar6904 5 ай бұрын

@@TropicalTech That was quick! I have already created a backup of my current 32GB sd card storage in my laptop. So, what I am going to do is remove the sd card storages from both devices, transfer the data from my old phone to new phone then insert my new 128GB sd card storage in my old phone, transfer the data from my laptop to it and finally insert it to my new phone. Would it be the correct process?

@TropicalTech 7 ай бұрын

Here in the UK, you request a code from your current (old) provider, and then give this code to your new provider. I'm not sure if this process is the same in every country (it should be similar). You can request this code before you transfer if you wanted to, and then once the new provider has the code to port the number, this can take between a few hours and a few days, until which your new phone will be using the new number before your old one is moved.
