Transfer SMS, Calendar, notes from iOS

Morning all, I'm eagerly awaiting the delivery of the new Galaxy S4, and as I've mentioned in a previous post I'll be leaving iPhone having used them since iPhone 3g.
Looking to transfer all my my stuff to the new phone, already prepped photos etc and placed them on the SD card I've bought so not problem there, It's the other stuff
Contacts
All SMS messages (important)
Calendar entries, as has 2 years of shifts and appointments in it
Notes
Music..... only just remembered that (should be ok drag & drop?)
Any advise would be great, I've seen some programs for the SMS transfer but don't really want to pay out $39.00 for it

I did something similar for my wife when I weaned off her Apple addiction.. :laugh:
For sms see this post on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1881440
For your calendar you need to set up google sync and sync the ios and google calendars see here http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139206
Music should be a straight copy and paste as long as the tunes are DRM free. Cant help with the notes, my wife didnt use them so I didnt look into it

I recall KIES has an option to extract from the iPhone backup and restores it to the Galaxy? not 100% sure but it seems to ring a bell

I would recommand iSyncr if you use itunes to organise your music (as I do because I once had an iPhone..). It syncs your itunes playlists, including two-way sync of ratings, and works over Wifi. It also copies photos/videos back to your computer, which is handy.
For notes, there is nothing built into Android. I use Evernote (although the new Google Keep looks fairly good). I think that Evernote has import functionality.

For Messages(SMS & MMS) transfer, try a program called Backuptrans iPhone SMS + MMS to Android Transfer. Works fine.

[Q] Best (free) way to transfer SMS from Evo3d to S4 ~thanks!

Hello Everyone,
I am making the switch from an evo3d to a new S4 and I can not figure out how to import my SMS export file from the evo3d.
Is there not a way to do this without installing apps? If I need to install something what works best? I have tried to figure it out and have searched xda with no luck ( I have just found iphone specific stuff).
Thanks!

SMS Backup+ works really well for me. It backs up your texts to gmail and will allow transfer from gmail to a new device. I transitioned from my Evo3D to my S4 without any difficulty.

I use an app called "super backup". Backs up SMS and call logs as well as bookmarks and calendars.

I use go backup.
It lets me have the backup on drop box or Google drive

Titanium Backup Pro. It will be the best investment you've come across for our phones.

Thank you Everyone!
I just used Super Backup that gharlane00 recommended. The fact that it was made by an XDA member was pretty cool. It was quick and easy to migrate SMS, Call logs, Calendar, and Contacts. I am not sure the best way to do app data now...for example my GF has a good draw something run going and I dont want her to lose her stuff...nor my Plants versus Zombies standing , lol...
Again thank you to everyone for there help!:highfive:

This https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.riteshsahu.SMSBackupRestore worked so well I bought it. Just adust the settings so it saves to external SD card and import on the new phone and you're good to go. Don't forget to change settings in the new phone's SMS program to not auto delete texts and it will keep a long history of texts. Backs up to XML. Sometimes there are duplicate messages but that's not a big deal. I periodically back up my texts to card then delete them to free up resources. Highly rated app.

Have you tried the smart switch?

Porting WhatsApp chats

For anyone trying to port existing WhatsApp chats from their old phone to their new S5, there's the easy way, and the hard way.
The easy way is to backup the chats on the old phone, install WhatsApp on the S5, and restore from the backup. I'd fill in the obvious blanks if I'd followed this route. I didn't.
Long story short, I installed WhatsApp on my S5, which disabled WhatsApp on the old phone (DROID RAZR MAXX). The workaround for a broken WhatsApp on the old phone isn't for people without some sense of how Android file structure and file transfers work (explaining that is outside of the scope of this note). Anyway...
I used Bluetooth File Transfer because I have it on both phones.
Uninstall WhatsApp and all data from the S5, or don't install it now
Copy /storage/sdcard0/WhatsApp
Paste the copied folder in the S5's /storage/emulated/0/
Install WhatsApp on the S5 and validate WhatsApp with the correct phone number.
WhatsApp will offer to restore old data. Do the restore.
WhatsApp should now have all of the chats, etc. from the old phone
It ain't pretty, but it works.

Email should be straightforward, just open the email app on the Honor 7 and input your email address. It should do all the technical stuff for you.
If you have a PC, copy all your photos to that from your Samsung. If you want them back on your phone just copy them across from your PC to your new Honor 7.
For contacts, I normally back them up to google and then when I have a new android device and i first set it up there is an option to sync them. This can also be found under settings>accounts. This might be useful...

I often change my smartphone, so here's my advice :
You should always backup your data on your Google account. Sync all your contacts on google (you can find easy tutorials on the internet), sync all your pictures and videos with Google Photo app, backup your SMS/MMS with "SMS Backup And Restore" app, ... This way, you'll be able to change your phone very often, format your phone when you want, and do whatever you like without even thinking about your data. Everything will have a backup online.
Good luck

Hi,
I had a similar challenge. Without rooting the device, Helium backup works mostly. With the paid version, just put both devices to the same WLAN to transfer stuff from one device to the other. Some apps can be restored to the new device (including their settings), others don't. In addition I was also using SMS backup.

After taking the longer route of backing up my contacts to gmail and then from there to the Honor 7, realised that the phone had a sweet little option to simplify it. You have to pair your old and new phones via Bluetooth and then the Honor can act as a car kit to import all contacts from your old phone. Thoughtfully done ☺

How does one "copy" network profiles from one phone to another please

Sara...
This is wow feature in Honor 7. I have successfully imported the contacts from my Oneplus One phone which was complaining to export more than 500 contacts. Thanks a lot for enlightening me with this feature in Honor 7.
Regards
DJ

Transfer WhatsApp from iPhone to oneplus5

Hey
I was looking for a simple way to import all my WhatsApp data from iPhone to the new oneplus 5 and just can't find something. Does anyone knows how I can do that ?
Thanks !

I am not an iPhone user, so what i say is only theory.
If you backup on icloud and the file/folder structure for the backup is the same as is on android, you could just paste the whatsapp directory into your root android folder and then install whatsapp.
Alternatively, if you have access to the whatsapp folder you could just copy that to your computer and then move it to the oneplus 5.
On Android phones , to migrate whatsapp i simply copy the whatsapp folder after making a current backup on the source phone,moving it to the destination phone and then install whatsapp. it is able to restore all data and media.
Good luck!

Have a look on the comments in there - it's a scam. They tell you to backup to iCloud then delete(!!!!) the app on iPhone (==removing all messages fro the phone) and then magically they say that the android phone will be able to get the backup from iCloud.
In reality they want you to buy the product because it is capable of restoring the messages somehow(which you just deleted them)

thanks, didn't read the comments.
the whole whatsapp iphone to android thing seems to be complicated in general as of reddit. The reddit post/comments show a few solutions though.

Use Wazzap Migrator. I used it like 4-5 years ago when I switched from iOS to Android. Works like a charm.
Code:
https://www.wazzapmigrator.com"

Used iBackup Viewer to extract the ChatStorage.sqlite file from an iPhone Backup I made and Wazzapmigrator to restore it on my phone, did cost me like 3 bucks but worked really well!

Updating that I used wazzzap migrator. I needed to create an iTunes backup then find a software which can extract data from the backup file (this the hard part) . The wazzzap worked like charm (very easy) though cost a few worth-the-money $ for chats and media as well.

ANSWER:
1. Log in and back up your data to Google Drive
2. Download the file from the apple account.
3. Rename the file to match the backup on the google drive account and upload it and "Over Write" it.
4. Re-sync your whats app.
** Just my 2cents.

Dear, you just need a tool of whatsapp transfer like Doctor Telephone iPhone Data Recovery, it has a option which can help you to resolve this problem. Good luck

I've never tried to do this but can't you just set up the in-app backup and let it backup to Whatsapp servers? Then one you install WhatsApp on the new device it should ask you to restore all backup data.

in short, whatsapp is crap. Use telegram instead with smarter people

Yeah, transfer data between iOS and Android is usually difficult for us. Luckily this dr.fone can help to transfer WhatsApp chat history from iPhone to Andorid, including the OnePlus 5.

Hi, up to now it is impossible to transfer whatsapp between iphone and android unless you use some third party software such as wazzapmigrator, dr fone whatsapp for whatsapp, itransor for whatsapp,etc. These software applications can let you transfer whatsapp messages from iphone to android but they are paid software. If you want to know how to operate specifically, you can search a post via google by typing "techtiertips whatsapp from iphone to android"
