[Q] Transfer from Note 4 to SGS7 Edge - Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge Questions and Answers

So I am about to get the new Galaxy S7 Edge and I wondered if there is an easy way to transfer my apps + DATA from an unrooted Note 4 to the Edge?
I heard the Samsungs SmartSwitch Program should do the trick but I am not sure if it copies the app data too.
Any help here is appreciated.

Helium will back up app data and restore it to s7e, but you will need a pc to use it

[Q] SideSync

I have Verizon Galaxy Note 3 and Ativ Book 9 Plus.
One feature I was looking forward to was SideSync.
Ativ Book 9 Plus came with SideSync preinstalled.
But then there is stupid verizon with removing Samsung Apps.
Well, long story short, I do have Samsungs apps now and I do have Sidesync and Phone Screen sharing apps installed.
I connected the devices via USB cable that came with the Galaxy Note 3.
I ran Sidesync on Ativ Book 9 Plus and did recognize that Galaxy Note 3 was connected via Sidesync.
When I tried either keyboard&mouse sharing or Phone Screen Sharing, it fails
I tried to contact samsung through live chat that their dumbdumbs don't know what they are talking about.
"Sabrina" was her name and said "oh, try to download SideSync through Play Store"
Anyhow, did anybody have success using SideSync with Verizon Galaxy Note 3?
I am having same issue with my Galaxy Note 3. I am pairing with Ativ smart pc pro and have no luck. SideSync showing connected but when trying to connect on keyboard&Mouse sharing, sidesync app on Note 3 disconnects. Any one faced this issue?

Can you explain how you were able to get the SideSync and Phone Screen sharing apps on your Note3? I also have the Book9+ and was looking forward to using the application.

Weird, will edit this post with the apk in a few.
I forgot my Note 3 isn't rooted. These are from my Note 2, but they're the exact same version.

I've had the same trouble, got an ATIV book 9 lite, galaxy note 3. I downloaded the apps from Samsung. I can use the mouse and keyboard sharing ok, the phone screen sharing will work only when I am on wifi that is on the same router, like at home.
I can't use phone screen sharing on wifi at work where there are multiple nodes even with the same wifi name. must be a MAC address thing.
the phone screen sharing app won't connect via USB, it's connects for a second then fails
both apps work great on my Galaxy note 8, on wifi and USB. it's obviously a Verizon thing..hope there's a fix for the usb thing soon with the phone screen sharing app

Transfer from galaxy S4 to galaxy S5 neo

Hi, i've been trying for a wile to recover all data from a Galaxy S4 with touchscreen broken to a new Galaxy S5 Neo. I've been able to recover most informations form my S4 with samsung Kies 3 and the new samsung Smart Swich (contacts, sms...). But i haven't been able to recover games and programs on S4, losing all progressions.
In the past, i've used Helium that worked perfectly (saving game and recovering in a new phone with all progression) but since i've only have access to the phone by the computer, i can't confirm anythings on the screen (all softwares needs autorisation except samsung ones). I've tried software to clone the screen in windows and it didn't work.
I've tried drag an drop in windows 10 and didn't work. I don't find the program and the data. I don't understand the structure of android and i think i don't see everythings.
I've been playing to some games for years and i want to keep the levels in the game.
Can you help?
Thanks
Michel

What method are you using to transfer apps & data from your current phone to your S8?

What method are you using to transfer apps & data from your current phone to your S8?
In the past I've been able to root my phone straight away and use Titanium Backup to transfer everything I needed to my new phone.
But seeing as the S8 is so new and hasn't been rooted yet I was wondering what you guys were planning to do about your apps and data?
Has anyone use Google's Tap to Go or Samsung's own transfer wizard that runs when you first setup the phone? Or perhaps there is a better method?
Or do I really need to bother at all, just sign into my Google account, download my apps and everything should just work and be there? Is it as easy as that?
It has been such a long time since I've had to do this. My current phone is a Note 4 which I've had for 2yrs and before that was a HTC One M8 which was rooted and I had that for 2yrs and before that was the Google Galaxy which was also rooted.
What are your thoughts?
Use the OTG method (phone to phone). That should be the fastest.
This time around I set up my new phone manually. There were a couple small things that I bluetooth transferred just for quick reference and I do have some stuff backed up on g cloud so I may put those on as well

What is the OTG method? Are you talking about using a OTG cable to link the phones somehow?
I used the built in Samsung Smart Switch. Worked great to transfer my data from my iPhone
Sent from my wickedly kewl Galaxy S8 using my fingers. Duh!!!
easiest is smartswitch for sure, did that for s5-s7 but i asume it works either way as long as u have a samsung
This time around I went ahead and just used Samsung's Smartswitch method. Plugged in my S7's cable to the S7, with the USB to USB-C adapter (included in the S8 package) to the S8, and it auto-started the Smartswitch process on my old S7. It transferred all my apps, with their data, along with the homescreen settings, etc. I did need to reset a few apps, so make sure you have viable backups of important stuff. As an example, Carango didn't transfer over my gas mileage & car records, so I had to pull those back from a cloud backup, and while all the files for BeyondPod transferred over fine, I needed to do a restore from backup in the app to get its settings and update times loaded properly.
All that said, it's probably about the smoothest process I've had for transferring everything over. Seems to work at least as well if not better than Google's built-in thing, and it's a bit quicker.
Gonna be using Samsung's Smart Switch. Easiest way, I think. Did it when I went from my S3 > S6 and will do so again, S6 > S8.
Thanks for the replies. Looks like Smartswitch is the way to go. I will give that a try tonight. Thanks everyone.

Did you have any issues with it? I couldn't get it to work with my iPhone 7. It kept losing connection at 99%

I tried smart switch from s7 edge and it only transfers the apps, without any settings. I might as well have download these apps from the play store. If that's the way this works, I don't see any reason why to use smart switch.
smart switch includes internal storage data, and discontinued and sideloaded apps.
for the data/settings you can use helium, you need to install and activate(using a PC) it on both phones once and then you can see all transferable apps from the other phone and copy their data over as needed.

Than you. I did that thing with smart switch just to check it out. I always use titanium backup for the purpose, but root is needed first...
Never used helium before. I'll check it.

Smartswitch and OTG are the same.
Smart switch didn't work for me. I think it was because my note 4 is rooted so I ended setting things manually.
What if you no longer have the previous phone, but you do have the backup of a previous device on Google Drive? I had a Pixel running 7.1.1 previously, but returned it. Now i want to restore the Galaxy S8 from that backup, but it does not seem to recognize the backup. When i first start up the S8, it just logs me into my Google account, but never asks for the restore option.

If you have lot of pics, move them first manually and delete them from IPhone and try smartswitch again. This resolved my issue.
This may sound odd, but I haven't even set my phone up yet. I put my screen protector on and it came out flawless and works well with my TPU case (no lifting). So I'm going to wait until I get my promo bundle (Shipped 2 day) put my SIM and MicroSD in it and then use smartswitch. I'm not going to keep tempting fate by taking the phone out of the case and messing up the edges of my screen protector. OCD much? You bet!

Need help transfering asap to new Galaxy note 10+

So last week i finally upgraded my phone. I got a Samsung Galaxy note 10+ and i had to transfer everything over to it and used smart switch however it didnt transfer over everything. I need help transfering over my kik chats and my save data to 2 games -final fantasy record keepers ( i knpw you can backup by transfering in the game itself but i keep getting the message my account is on the old phone when trying to teansfer on the new one- cannot transfer save because your account is connect to another device) and digimon heroes! Can i please get help. I only have 1 day left to find out how i can do it. It took me all week to transfer everything else over to my new phone except those 3 things which i want. My old phone is a samsung s7 edge.
If you want to transfer data from your old Samsung Galaxy S7 to the new Galaxy note 10+, you can try Samsung Smart Switch. Of course, if they are both in your hands, you can also try Phone Transfer program to help you transfer data between Samsung phones. Usually, data like app, contacts, sms, music, photos, videos, books, call logs can be easily transferred. Just have a try and choose the one you like.
