Hello,
I'm having difficulty finding a way to transfer app data from my old s9+ to my s22u. I have data such as locally-stored high scores, log-ins, etc on many apps, but Smart Switch is the only way it gives me when setting up the phone to transfer data, which doesn't back up nor transfer app data. The only way would be to use a Google backup, but the s22u doesn't give me the option to restore from Google backup at any point during setup. I also have tried Google One, but there is no option whatsoever to restore from my other devices.
Is there any way to transfer app data (without rooting)?
In my opinion, there is no way without root.

I think Samsung Switch is your best bet. It's getting better at transferring as much app data as possible without infringing on legal and security issues. You can use it at any time to transfer data, not just at phone set up. I used it just recently to transfer my data from my Z Fold 3 to my S22u and I was impressed with how good of a job it did. It also gives you a good bit of choices on what you want/don't want to transfer. I recommend that you use wifi and not a usb cable as wifi is much faster if you have a good network. Lots of YouTube videos you can watch and get more information.

samsung switch? I guess you mean Smart switch. And no, this app does not transfer app data. All applications need to be set up. And wifi is definitely not faster than cable.

Yes, I meant Samsung Smart Switch, apologies. I can attest from my recent experience that with some apps the data is definitely transferred. The one I'm specifically remembering is the app for my b-hyve smart lawn irrigation controller as I was dreading going through the process of reconnecting with the controller in my garage. After using Smart Switch, when I fired up the app I was happy to learn I was connected and didn't even have to re-log onto the server side. That clearly shows app data was transferred.
I also recently used a smartswitch with exactly the same reasons.
No application has been transferred to me and I will carefully set up applications for lawn irrigation controller, pool heating, alarm, tv .. Just everything. It doesn't even transfer my "high score" in the simple offline game "Water Sort Puzzle"
I used smart switch...I did notice that some apps get transferred with settings of the app etc...but some apps get transferred without any data regarding the app...when opening the app, all must be setup/logged in again etc...

i purchased this phone lgl164vl from a person i cannot get a hold of anymore and did factory reset now i cannot use it because i donot know old google account. how can i make this phone useable for me?
Factory reset without Google account
I will attempt to give ya advice on this. I have just recently purchased this device too lgl164vl, ie fiesta 2 lte, and from it's quick start guide I will be quoting from it says...
Under anti-theft guide
add your google account on your device
"After your device is protected, you'll need to either unlock or enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset. This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset."
(Note) "DO NOT forget your Google account and password you had added to your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the account information during the setup.process, you won't be able to use the device AT ALL after performing the factory reset."
Really sorry to give you such troubling news, and let's hope the screen lock and account wasn't set up for anti theft by previous owner, for if the anti theft was activated and you can't get ahold of the original owner I'm afraid you have been screwed. For everything is saved to Google's cloud on that one account it was setup with, and as far as I'm aware, at least until a custom recovery is made for this device, it's more or less bricked (as you can't use it.)
Hopefully this isn't the case and perhaps it's a network issue on which I have no advice.
thanks for the reply

maybe some one might come up with something i hope. is there anything that could be put on sd card then put sd card in phone and when phone is turned on sd card takes control? by putting some type of application on phone to take care of this
lol, good one
these tracfone things are really tight; they don't want you to keep using it without the tracfone service, like if you root it to switch to some other service
pretty much a throwaway or you might be able to use it without phone, just wifi
sorry no info; i was hoping for more info myself.
.
I'm trying to discover if the sd card can be configured as internal storage or not. Some providers disable this feature. The system says 'the card SHOULD be used as portable storage' and does not give the option to use it as internal storage (so I can expand my download capacity for pandora).
So, hopefully I can get an answer here: can I buy a faster card that the phone will be able to use as internal storage or is it really locked out regardless? I don't want to waste money on a card I don't need.
How fast should the card be? What rating? I believe it is at least class 10. (it is UHS-I/U3 Class 10)
Is it possible to 'force' the phone to use it as internal storage using ADB? (i read about this somewhere)
if so, please howto, thanks
{figured no need for new thread, don't expect it to work out, stupid tracfones, lol} ... i can do a new thread if you think i should, if there is positive info, thanks
update:
i managed to get the 'auto-install sdcard internal' program to work.. aftiss (https://forum.xda-developers.com/android/software/auto-formatting-sdcard-to-internal-t3583875)
seems to be doing ok so far; i migrated the data over to the sd card, it says it will start using the sd card as default app data and storage/downloads etc. But it did not say it uses the sdcard for app binaries.
The goal for me here is to get Pandora to use the sdcard to download the music with the Prime subscription for offline play, as I have tracfone and not an unlimited data plan.
It seems like it should work just fine, as music is not nearly as demanding as video, less bandwidth, about 192kBps, i think. (or maybe small b? yes, small b, like Kbps). So, really even an older sdcard should be able to do it.
With the premium (not prime) service from pandora you get your 4 most listened to channels downloaded automatically. The difference is $5/month vs $10/month.
The Prime lets you do playlists and individual songs. You have a 'my music' button to add to your offline cache. I suppose there is an automatic download as well. They say they will leave 500mb free at all times.
I suppose it may be inappropriate to talk about a pay service here, idk.

i wound up ditching Pandora, sometimes a song will play with choppy sound, like cylon music, unacceptable
i reset the phone to factory specs and it works fine. It had a problem charging with the modifications. I tried a few different launchers and always had problems. It seems like it may have some protection against modifications, even as simple as using an alternative launcher. Even with the phone turned off it wouldn't charge.
However, I did discover the charger I was using has connection problems, or maybe the phone does. It is doing ok right now using a cable direct to computer.
The information I found regarding using the memory card as extended internal storage for apps is that Android no longer enables that option because it is unreliable. Perhaps it uses too much energy, i do not know. So, I'm going with stock for now. I disable all the google stuff I can and use f-droid, mainly.
It is a 'good' phone, but I'm still probably going to get a new one when the activation time runs out, rather than paying for another year of service. Possibly one could go month to month till a new phone is issued that is good enough to justify an upgrade. But even a new one of these is cheaper than another year of service and minutes.
How do you root the lgl164vl 7.0 ? Can it be done with no pc? I tried kingo root but stops at 90%
nope, it is trash; don't bother
I currently have the Note 9 and will be transferring to the Note 20 Ultra. What is the best method to transfer EVERYTHING across? I know SmartSwitch doesn't transfer app data. Should I therefore use SmartSwitch first and then use Google to restore the app data? Or vice versa? Or is there a better option?
Is there any difference restoring with SmartSwitch on PC backup vs via USB to USB between the phones?
Cheers
Good questions. For previous transfers, I've used SmartSwitch via USB, Google restore, and Samsung restore, usually jumbled together. I don't have a clear idea of which one does what, or how to select only one method (as I recall, the phone asks for Google and Samsung account information early in the setup process).

I prefer to start fresh, and yes - I know that I lose app configuration. Small price to pay for the weirdness that can happen in some apps when you restore from a backup.
That said, I backup my phone log, messages and such to Samsung Cloud. After loading the base stuff and logging in, I restore those items on the new device so I have message and call log consistency. Then I march through the app store collection and install the apps I want, taking a look at each one to decide if I used it and/or really need it again.
I usually get a fresh clean start when I get a new device.
But the best way to restore everything is to use a combination of Samsung Cloud, Good back ups, and Samsung Smart Switch.
On your Note 9, use Smart Switch to back up your device to the SD Card. Then put that SD card in your Note 20 and restore from there.
I did that going from Note 10+ to Note 10, and it restores all my settings. My quick panel apps. I didn't even have to log back into many of my apps, as it transferred over data from several of them.

So when I was on google products, namely I went from a Pixel to another Pixel recently. ALL of my prior connected wifi networks / SSIDs were fully saved. In other words when I went to my favorite brewery, it's password protected wifi network automatically connected with nothing more to do.
When I moved from Pixel to Note, none of my previously saved wifi network connections were saved. I've only used smartswitch thus far.
Is there anything else I can do to get all of the wifi networks I have saved on my Pixel over to my Note?

I would never transfer your data and settings from the Note 9 to the Note 20 Ultra. There have been numerous posts and threads here about the phone being slow an buggy and the common denominator was transferring from another phone, most had to do a FDR and start over the way they should have done in the first place.

For me, WiFi-network credentials carried over from my N10+ to my N20U. Unfortunately, I have no idea if that was thanks to SmartSwitch, Google cloud backup, or Samsung cloud backup.
Hi Friends,
What is the best way to transfer your files and apps?
At present I just want to test use the Fold 2, so I would like my files and apps on there but not use my sim card or WhatsApp ect ect just yet as I will use the Note 10 plus for the next two weeks.
Would ideally want all the logins transfering over as well, as seamless or painless as possible..
Blessings.
Use the Smart Switch app and a USB Type C cable between the phones for the quickest transfer.
This was a blessing when moving from my OnePlus 7 Pro. Transferred all my apps, video's and music on top of the usual stuff.
Just done mine with smart switch over bluetooth from the fold 1, took no more than ten minutes all in

If you aren't transferring much information (just basic apps, settings and a few files) then Bluetooth is fine but if transferring lots of big apps/games, music and videos the USB-C cable transfer is recommended, you can use the cable that came with the Fold 2, otherwise it will take a long time. - I transferred over 100GB.
It's Smart switch the built in 'transfer" software and the beginning of the starting from scratch system. Or do I get the phone up and running then start smart switch after?
Either. I did it when first setting the phone up but if you've already started you can run the app manually.

Echoing what others have said here, using Smart Switch and a USB cable with male USB-C both ends is the easiest and fastest way.
There will be many who claim this is the worst way, and that you should always set up your new phone from scratch to avoid issues. But I have used this method for several years now and on the odd occasion an app does misbehave, I simply uninstall it and re-install from the Play Store, no more issues!
Also, if you restore from an online backup instead, you will find many apps data missing. It's best to use a cable from the donor device to your new device if possible.
.
Are you saying with a cable app data should move over? I can't seem to get the app data to restore, all apps are restored, but I am going to need to set each one up again.

It doesn't work with all apps, but that's a limitation of the app, not Smart Switch. This is mainly apps that have a level of security like banking apps or are password protected. But even if just 50% of your apps transferred their data over, that's a fair few apps you don't have to set up again. It's not perfect but I think it's still the quickest way to get your phone set up from new.

I don't want to transfer any of the T-Mob carrier software to the new factory unlocked S23+ I have preordered. Smart Switch might send some over right? I'm thinking that it would be worth the bother to just set it up from scratch and maybe use Smart Switch only for media and files.
Anyone have an opinion if this from-scratch setup way is better or any information on if Smart Switch might bring background apps over that I don't want?
Thanks
Take the time to do a clean load from scratch.
Not having a SD card slot is a major disadvantage especially during a reload.
Never trust SmartSwitch to transfer critical data or to do data backups as it can fail you miserably. Copy/paste folders instead, then verify data size and readability. Use ApkExport instead of Playstore to transfer, restore and load apps. Saves time and trouble.
Once set up, optimized and running well don't upgrade or update the firmware. Updates can and do break Samsung's... especially with older devices. Use your best judgement but don't say you weren't warned
Only backup the apps u want to restore
Hello. My Pixel 7 pro had some dust under the selfie camera, so I had to send it back to google for RMA, I then got a Samsung A03 as a loner phone, really low end, but I got a loaner and that was better than nothing, I then proceeded to erase my Pixel 7 pro as I knew everything was backed up by default as I had sync on in the settings under account and they said I had to do that so they could test the phone, now when I logged into the samsung phone after starting it, it did not restore my data, I just tought the phone was too low-end, but now I was looking to restore SMS messages and saw a bunch of internet post mentioned about google drive backup for phones and now when I look at google drive on my phone I see an option to start backup and I have never seen that before, so now I am wondering if I really did not do a backup on my Pixel phone and some data is lost or not.
Think that's sort of typical on Samsung's. Even when you turn off Google Google backup Transport it seems to retain the data it previously saved.
That said I don't trust it and back up everything redundantly to multiple drives. I don't use cloud in part because it's a huge resource hog.
In your case I be tempted to error on the side of caution and wait to restore the data on the original phone... and hope it works.
That's one reason I keep a backup phone, ready to go in case my primary phone needs service or whatever. In addition to backups to flash and hdds I also use my phone's unencrypted SD card as a data drive. All critical data goes there. That way I can do a full reload using just the card. Not having or properly using expandable storage is a handicap.

No I dont think you understand me, I am wondering if the data on my google phone is lost or not, when I switched from my Samsung Galaxy S10 to my Pixel 7 Pro all the data came back including the apps and so on, so I tought ok, when sync settings is turn on in account settings then I am all good and also tught that google had all thease backup things on automatically, but now when I switched to the loaner Samsung Galaxy A03 non of the data came back and even the apps did not restore, on all my other phone (they have been high end tho compared to this one) there was the nromal google menu when you started the phone for the first time and it logged in and presented me with my apps list and asked if I wanted to restore them.
Now the problems is that I see in google drive that there is a backup option that I Have never used before and did not know that it was there, so I am wondering if the data on my Pixel 7 Pro is lost like SMS, apps list and so on.
When I started the Samsung A03 there was an option to use the Samsung Smart transfer, but skipped that and now that I think of it, that might have been the method to transfer things, tho I have never used that on any of my other samsung phones that I have owned.

I do understand. I would avoid switching the data from phone to loaner phone with Google backup Transport if there's any doubt. SmartSwitch has it's own issues and can lose data. I don't trust either.

It looks like some of the backup functions are limited to Pixel phones. Since I only use Samsung's I may not be aware of some of Google backup's advanced functions. Maybe they should of given you a Pixel loaner...

Time will tell. If you value your data in the future always backup critical data redundantly and regularly to at least 2 hdds that are physically and electronically isolated from each other and the PC. OTG flashsticks can also be used but if they fail there's no tangible recovery option unlike hdds.

Yes time will tell, I will see when I get the phone back.
You can look to see if you still have a backup(s), by going to drive.google.com, click Storage on the left, and then Backups, in the upper right. This will show you a list of whats-what, at the given time point (backups expire after 2 months if the phone isn't (cloud) connected).
I use SMS-backup-and-restore (app), before I do ANY phone migration, or similar (any reset, root or wonky adb things that are iffy, on recovery), at least that saves all your SMS and call history, which you can restore to any phone, using the same (app).
Additionally, if you backup your pics (Gdrive, OneDrive, whatever...), and other non-replaceable data, then if the backup isn't usable, you have most of what you'd want, it's just a hassle to sift-sort.
There are tools to restore your installed apps (list, XML), but this is almost more of a hassle then just doing it, IME/IMHO.
On the A3 restore, was it running Android 13, BEFORE you went to restore? Down-level restores generally don't work. If this is the case, you should see your backup in the first suggestion, above, and it should be there, as long as you get your P7P back, before it expires (or you restore it to an equivalent or up-level device).

Ok yes I can see some backup in there, so I think I am all right, lets hope it worked.
The A03 was running android 13, so I dont know if it should work or not, I was not presneted with the normal android menu with all my apps and if I wanted to restore them, but that might be due to the phone having the samsung skin on it.
I will see once I get the phone back, it should only take 2 weeks max they said.
