I love smart switch! I transfered everything from my old phone to the new one. I transferred all my data, accounts, wallpapers and even the homescreen folders etc... The new phone was exactly like the old phone
When using smart switch for your photos does it keep everything in the photo in the exact same path? (i.e. Let's say I have a folder called JB Docs and in that folder I have one called My Pics, then beneath that response lies each category of my photos like Xmas 2021, Vacation 2019, Cars, FB, etc. Will smart switch keep the same path or just flatten the directory out? Because, I also under JB Docs have a My Vids folder and a music folder, with different albums underneath. Thx! 👍
I'm new to the transfer I must say, great job. Just purchase my S24+ soon as it arrives. I'm doing my own transfer. I liked and gave u the thumbs 👍 old s21 + I don't store much. Looks easy great job. 👍

Smart Switch is great. I remember the one problem I ran into, which won't be a problem anymore, when I switched from a N20U to my S22U it ended up creating multiple folders for camera and some other folders because I had an SD card in my N20U. Actually just a few months ago the Gallery app finally merged all those folders together.

@@jwb-221 if you are coming from another Samsung device then yes it will, but if coming from a non-Samsung device or a Apple device it might not because the folder structure may be different on your old phone. The only way to know is to give it a try. I'm by no means an expert when it comes to Smart Switch. Since I used a Samsung device for about 5yrs I only ever used Smart Switch a few times and recently it was between other Samsung devices like my Samsung phone and a Samsung Tablet. Right now I'm not even on a Samsung phone, I switched to a Pixel 8 Pro.
I''ve always had Samsung since the Note 4, after my days with the Compaq Ipaq to show my age.. 😂 I'll probably try 1 or 2 folders for future reference. But I will probably just stick to my usual tactic of copying my JB Docs folder to and external GFlash drive and copy it over. I still have old copieees of movies and MP3's! Oh well, I'll keep you posted, BTW it will be a transition from a S22 U to the S24 U. @NonLegitNation2
I currently have an s22 Ultra and purchased an s23. Tried using Smart Switch and it keeps getting stuck. Have tried everything I can read and the app just wont work.... Anytime I try, it either gets stuck or it'll tell me the old phone was disconnected.
I just discover about smart switch and I'm glad for the function. I do have a question regarding transferring data from sd card though. Why are some files going through but not all from my SD card? It is large file sizes but some of it were successful but not everything are getting transferred 😢
Ok...but Jimmy, does transfering everything mean exactly that? No. So it would be GREAT if you could find a program or trusted app that completely transfers everything or even clones a device. As an example, I ordered an exact replacement device for an insured device. Everything exactly the same, except for a touch screen issue. I have a Galaxy Fold 4. Samsung backup doesn't do a complete backup, neither does Google. So what will? Thanks for a serious and helpful answer. Great channel.
Thanks for the video, just gave it thumbs up.... quick question, do I need to login to Google playstore with the same credentials on the new phone before starting the transfer?
Backup option Settings/ General/ Reset >>> *Backup your Data* Temporary Cloud Backup & External Storage Backup. Would this do the same Restore like Smart Switch ❓️ Suggest a SSD to match Speed of UFS 4.0 Please
I'm trying to find out the same before I switch my new phone. I know the app works, did it 2 years ago. Jus wanna Kno about this cloud thing that's new on my old phone
@@dmo848 Settings/General/Reset - Cloud &External Storage BACKUP, do both If you getting new phone then can do Switch & transfer all data to new phone But better to do BACKUP before Also do a Backup of File Folder Pics to External Hard drive.
great video man. I ran into an issue trying to use smart switch. I have a s10+ with android 4.1 on it and every time I connect my s24 ultra via cable or wifi it will ONLY transfer my s24 ultra TO the s10+ and not the s10+ to the s24 ultra. Is there any other way to do this that you know of? Thanks
If you have existing photos and videos in the new phone, will that be deleted if you transferred the data from old to the new one or it will just add the photos and videos on top of the existing data on the new phone?
Hi I have brought a new Samsung mobile. My other one is Samsung too. I am unable to access the screen to transfer the data. Is there any other way to transfer
Is their a way to prevent copying all of my photos and videos? My old phone has an SD card the same as the capacity of my new phone, so I don6wish to fill it straight away.
If you use the cable, how long will the battery last with smartswitch? I always had an SD card which made it easy. No with a 1TB phone half full, the next time i use this will be a lot of data...4 or 5 hours. Also, still know someone with an SD card. Does it now transfer these over correctly? So camera goes to internal DCIM folder etc. Great video!
Flagship device mostly uses Usb-c 3.0 and above so make sure you buy 3.1 usb-c cable separately for 10 times faster data transfer, the cable come with box usually 2.0 version
i have had trouble with the smart switch years ago and NON if my apps abd data or my music from my sd card was transfered and i had to redownload everything and reset ALLL my my passwords😢😢😢😢!!! i am getting an s23 ultra to upgrade from the a32 5g on metro pcs and i am not sure if the smart switch will be even worth trying again,, but i am going to try the backup and restore from my google account from my old phone to the new phone!! i have about 60gb of data including apps and about 500 to 700 songs on my sd card and if the smart switch does NOT work to transfer ALL my music then im goimg the old fashioned way using my pc and transfer my music between phones😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Just move from Moto to Samsung, first I made a note of all passwords on Moto,then had to do all my biometrics for the new Samsung first,banks were easy, HSBC gave me QR code on old Moto to scan for the Samsung.All rather painless.
Then you can hook it up through dex to a smart TV.... And use the TV as a screen for your phone or screen mirroring. Hopefully you set up your voice recognition so you can do voice prompts to get where you want or at least close to it. Good luck
You can Move the SIM Whenever You'd like. The data transfer is done via Wifi Direct or by Cable. All i'll say is, have it in the new phone atleast when its done to send a test call and test Text to make sure its all good and then factory reset the old device.
@jimmyispromo I'm curious about this as well. I'm swapping a phone through insurance, N20U to N20U. I have a SIM I'm currently using, but they sent a newer one for me to use. When and how would I go about using it, will it automatically replace the old one when inserted ? Thank you
How can you say that someone will save X amount of time using a cable when the Internet speed is dependent on the person's internet? Not everyone is going to get the same Internet speed as you.
Hey Jimmy, What's the best way to transfer a lot of photos and videos from the phone to the pc? For me wired transfers are really slow (Tried everything. I'm using usb c on S21)
It depends on your laptop and phone transfer speeds. I have a Samsung S23 Ultra and it has UFS 4.0 storage (4,200Mbps read and 2,800Mbps write) to pair with my Samsung T7 Shield which has USB 3.2 Gen 2 (1,050Mbps read and 1,000Mbps write). All my transfers are lightning fast.

Do you have to put sim in new phone first. Or OK to leave in old phone. While data is transferring
.
None of these videos answer that simple f"'ibg question. And why does it take 6 hours?????
Doesn't matter I'm doing it now.
For real. A huge thanks. Because i didn't know how transferring a account worked while 2fa is on. This is amazing. Thanks. For real a life saver.
Question: Do you have to use WIFI (same wifi) for both phones while doing the data transfer (either with cable or wirelessly)?
wifi
Smart switch is awesome ,used it to transfer from my s10 plus to upgrade to my s23 ultra
what about using a usb 3.1 cable?
It's best to make sure both phones are fully charged I noticed.
Trick! Make sure you buy 3.1 type-c cable separately for 10 times faster data transfer than 2.0 cable that come with the box
My Note 20 Ultra just had its screen crash. I was hoping that Smart Switch would transfer over everything from the new phone.

Great video with great detailed instructions.
Glad it was helpful!
when do you put in sim card into new phone? before switch or after?
My query is same kindly answer.
Doesn't matter
Does Good Lock and specifically routines transfer with this? Hope I don't have to set up all my routines again.

After you transfer your data, will you see everything vanish from your old device, or can I still use that if I want?
Does it copy all app-passwords (and configurations/settings), too? or do I have to enter hundrets of logIn data again on new phone?
Samsung pass should have all your passwords saved

Just move from Moto to Samsung, first I made a note of all passwords on Moto,then had to do all my biometrics for the new Samsung first,banks were easy, HSBC gave me QR code on old Moto to scan for the Samsung.All rather painless.
What Happened If I Uninstal Smart Switch?
Sim card....?? Before switch or after???
Either one. I always move my Sim card over after I smart switch though.
Can it work with a tablet
What if the screen on the old phone is completely destroyed?
Then you can hook it up through dex to a smart TV.... And use the TV as a screen for your phone or screen mirroring. Hopefully you set up your voice recognition so you can do voice prompts to get where you want or at least close to it. Good luck
How do you get a software update when the smart switch is the error if you don't have a PC or mac?
Huh
took me 34 minutes transferring 132 gigs
that too wireless
Looks gd. Will try
When you do a restore, will the photos / videos have original timestamp or timestamp overwritten with the restore date? Does anyone know?
Original metadata, not new one.
Do you need to be connected to WiFi for wired transfer?
No, you don't
there are different cables
If used smart switch, the battery backup of new mobile will reduce as Media service will keep on running
can you explain this a bit more please?

What's the best way to transfer a lot of photos and videos from the phone to the pc? For me wired transfers are really slow (Tried everything. I'm using usb c on S21)
I believe it depends on your PC or the adapter being used. File transfer is limited to the speed at which the Laptop can do or the port hub.
It depends on your laptop and phone transfer speeds. I have a Samsung S23 Ultra and it has UFS 4.0 storage (4,200Mbps read and 2,800Mbps write) to pair with my Samsung T7 Shield which has USB 3.2 Gen 2 (1,050Mbps read and 1,000Mbps write). All my transfers are lightning fast.

Vacation 2019, Cars, FB, etc. Will smart switch keep the same path or just flatten the directory out? Because, I also under JB Docs have a My Vids folder and a music folder, with different albums underneath. Thx! 👍
Because I usually just have it skip photos, vids, and music and copy my own JB Docs folder to keep the same path structure.
