Hi, that's too bad. The process is not too difficult if you follow each step. Please don't hesitate to let me know what part is not working for you and I'll happily help you! :)
Hi Lisa, I hope you found a way to complete your transfer. The process can be confusing but if you follow the steps like I did, it will work! Please let me know if you need some more help!
Dear Pritesh, so sorry this happened to you. Here's 7 ways to solve this problem: 1/ Check your Wi-Fi router and make sure Wi-Fi is switched on. 2/ Try to connect your Android with the Wi-Fi created by iPhone during the process when the move to iOS code shows, the Wi-Fi password is the same as the Wi-Fi name. 3/ Restart your Android Phone several times. 4/ Reset your network. 5/ Try out Airplane Mode, turn off, and turn on. 6/ Smart switch - switching off the Wi-Fi option between Wi-Fi & mobile data. 7/ Trying to transfer data with Google account. I hope this helps! ;)
Good vid, yet in theory, its not that easy. I'm right next to my modem, and the Android is estimating 7 hours to complete. This happened before, and eventually timed out. Will try another app.
Yes. I always recommend to our BusinessMobiles.com clients to upload photos to a cloud app. My personal favourite is Google Photos but there are any to choose from which work well across Android and IOs.
This is the 3rd video I have watched and none of you guys mention whether it is necessary to have a sim card in the new iPhone before you can transfer data? I tried the 'move to IOS' app and also tried the 'copy my data' app...they did not work for me... seems the only way is to manually install my data to my new phone...Eeesh!! what a pain. 🤬
Yes; the app is not perfect. Sometimes it is necessary to run this process more than once to get the result. I did a few practice tests and on one occasion the apps did not transfer.
You can simply pull out your SIM card and slap it in any phone and the new phone is your phone number as long as the SIM card is the same size and fits. This is why its important to have a SIM lock found in your settings. If you lost your phone someone can simply pull your SIM card out of the slot, stick it in their phone and have all your information bypassing your security code you have only on your phone. When you put a lock on the actual tiny SIM card they will need the PIN to unlock and only get 10 chances. Not bloody likely. However! If you lock your SIM and for some reason forget or all thumbs hitting the PIN, you too can be locked out. This is why its important to get you IMEI number off your phone while its not locked. You can call your carrier on another phone, give them the IEMI number and they will give you the "PUK" code to unlock your SIM card after answering your security questions. This is how people get hacked or "SIM swapped". If you take precautions now will save you a lot of headaches later on seeing your locked out of your phone. I also suggest keeping a second phone with a VIOP phone so as long as you have Wifi, you still can call out and receive calls on a separate number. People have had their lives destroyed over a SIM swap. Heres a vid on how to find your IMEI number and store it in a safe place if you decide to put a PIN lock on your SIM card. Doing this now is easily 1000 times easier than doing it later. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4FC0oQCgOSA.html
Reboot and try again. These things tend to magically work with a reboot. There should not be a situation where your phone cannot connect to the wifi network.
Whatsapp history will not transfer like this. You will need to use a third party app for messenger apps. drfone.wondershare.net/ is one example but there are many out there.
Hi Jawad, doesn't always transfer automatically, you will need to do it manually. You can find more details on how to do it here: faq.whatsapp.com/general/account-and-profile/about-changing-phones/?lang=fb Hope this helps! ;)
If my screen goes black from not using it it stopped the whole process. And the time it's showing that it takes is 3 hours. Like what the fuck am I supposed to do
Hi Kristopher! Thanks for your question! When you transfer the SIM card doesn't really matter because we are transferring data that is on the phone, not the SIM card. Hopefully, this helps!
when the thing that asked if I wanted to add my apps popped up... Another one also popped up about siri. Then the thing was gone and I didnt get the opportunity to click add apps. There for none of my apps are there on my phone now. My pictures also came in at wrong orders, but that's fine. Could you please help? 😊🙏
Thanks for watching Leo! You can put your SIM card before or after doing the transfer because we are transferring data from the phone not the SIM card. Let me know if you need more details! :)
I did all that and it said the estimated time to transfer was “10 hours”! And you cannot allow the screen to go dark ( which means continually tapping the screen) or the transfer will be “interrupted “, and you have to start over. I do not have that much data on my Android so why on earth would it say that???
You can prevent the screen from going dark; iPhone = Settings > Display & Brightness > Auto Lock - Select "Never". Android = Settings > Security > Screen Lock > Select "None" It should not take 10 hours to transfer. I would reboot both phones and start again. Technology is technology and there will always be random issues which can be solved by rebooting. If you get this message again; turn off auto lock as above, plug the phones into a charger and leave the transfer to run overnight.
Hi Kettie, thanks for you comment! If you’re moving to a different type of phone, with the same number you’ll keep your account information including your profile photo, name, about, individual chats, group chats, and settings BUT you can’t transfer your chat history.
Hi. A few fixes that might work; 1) Forget all Wi-Fi networks on your Android phone and turn off the Smart Switch feature and then connect to the network under Airplane Mode. 2) Set your iphone to not auto-lock (Settings/Display & Brightness/Auo-Lock > select 'NEVER'. Make sure your battery is not on low power mode first) AND on ANDROID (Settings/Security or Security & Location / Security / Screen Lock > select "None") 3) Don't use your phone or allow incoming calls (i.e. Airplane mode) whilst the transfer is completing. If none of these work then you could use a third party tool like AnyTrans to move the data. Hope this helps! Charmaine xoxo
@@simplymobilechannel how do you get to the new iphone settings? Coz as soon as I turn on the new iphone to set up it won't allow me to do anything unless I transfer the data and stuff from android first?
@@lizr.3178 I'm having same problem on the iphone side. I can't get to the iphone settings until I'm past this "Move to IOS" android to iphone transfer. The iphone screen keeps going dark (not the android). I'm sitting here manually tapping it to keep it "awake" (hopefully not for 2 remaining hours). This is a nice tutorial but I don't believe there's any way to get around the screen going dark on the iphone side.
I always love to hear the Android vs iOS arguments. It's such a personal choice. I can tell you the Sales Team at BusinessMobiles.com all use Android and the Support teams all use iOS. It's a constant source of debate and discussion in the tea room.
