As surprised as I was by how much of my data was moved, I was more surprised by how much wasn't. I backed up everything to Samsung Cloud and Google just before using Smart Switch to move.
Most apps restored, some didn't.
Some app data restored, much didn't.
Quick settings didn't copy over.
Default app preferences didn't copy over.
Many settings, like notification preferences, didn't copy over.
I could go on and on, but I have a phone to set up. It will take a good two days to get this phone ready to swap the SIM... and then I get to do it all over again for the Darling Bride's S24 Ultra! Smart Switch has been around long enough that things like this should not happen. That's my 2¢ and probably not worth that much.
Well what happened? It does transfer everything from 1 to another. in some rare occasions it might not transfer 1 app or 1 email address for example but that's the extent I've seen in "fail" 🤷🏻
I have been using Samrt Swith to transfer to a new phone since its inception. Almost everything transfers over. However, individual text tones and ringtones for contacts don't transfer over.
