Samsung Smart Switch Mobile

I really wish there was a pause function. I spent my morning trying to do a corded transfer and it was in the last few minutes when the battery in one phone ran out. (I don't have a cordless charger.) I wish it just saved as it went, and then since you don't transfer duplicates, if someone has to stop for any reason, they can just end it, retaining what's been transferred so far, and start a new sync to transfer any remaining stuff they couldn't before.

Worst thing ever!!!! I tried to connect with a cable between two Samsung phones. I kept getting a message to open the app on the other phone and scan the QR code. The only problem, their is no way to leave the app open and scan the code. The other message was to update the app but Google play is so stupid it only allowed me to download the app on a different device. Spent over an hour and nothing was ever transferred or even started.

The most frustrating piece of garbage ever. It would get partway through, then display an error message saying the connection had been lost. They were connected by a USB-C cable! How could they lose the connection? I must have tried 15 or 16 times, no luck. The highest I got was about 35% transferred. Each time I restarted, it asked if I wanted to continue the transfer that had been interrupted. I clicked yes. It restarted the transfer from the beginning anyway.

It worked quite well for me using the USB cable option. Be sure to wait until your OLD phone notifies you that it's OK to disconnect the cable. Your new phone may start prompting you to do more setup, but it's probably best to hold off until you get that OK from the old one. Be prepared to spend at least a few hours getting your apps signed back in, data transferred, etc. Each app is different. Good idea to keep your old phone around & connected to Wi-Fi for a while.

Pales in comparison to Apple where I could switch someone else's phone and EVERYTHING transferred. They didn't need to sign back in, agree again to privacy policies, etc. It was as easy as it should be bc the physical device changed but no settings, software, agreements, or anything else did. It was also very fast. Smart switch transferred some things, but settings do not match, nearly everything wants me to sign back in, agree to their policies again, etc. and it's taking forever. This is trash
