Galaxy S6 :: How To Transfer / Get Everything From S4
Apr 5, 2015
Now that my AT&T S6 is on the way, I've been looking for the best way to get all my data and apps from my S4 to my new S6. I've found several writeups and videos, but most are a couple of years old and some require rooting, which I'd rather not get into. Some of the videos I've found require use of several apps to get everything over. There must be a way to do it all at once! Last time I upgraded an iPhone, it was simple and seamless! What's the latest on this?

I have moved to a Galaxy S6 after being an iPhone user since 2009. I love the phone, but I can't exactly figure out how to transfer my photos to my Mac running OS Yosemite. I had installed Samsung Smart Switch, but it appears that this application is for getting information from my old iOS device to my S6. I am fully aware that I can use sources like Google Drive and Drop Box to upload the photos, but I would rather do this via USB.
Samsung Kies does not work with the S6 based on my initial use of that program. When using the program with the S6 I received a prompt to use Smart Switch as Kies does not work with the S6. A suggestion that was given to me today was use Android File Transfer for Mac. I read though that this will not work with the S6 either. I would be happy at this point to simply plug the device in and go to finder and work with the files like I can on a Windows machine, but I don't see myself using a Windows PC any time in the future.

Currently have an HTC One and already preordered the S5. What's the best way to transfer pics/videos and app data to the S5 when I get it? The apps I'm not too concerned about as I can simply redownload them, however I have like 500 pictures that I'd like transferred over.

I am trying to transfer my playlists from my Galaxy s4 to my Galaxy s5. However on the S5 it doesn't let me access the folder where the playlists are stored to move my old playlists there. Tried showing hidden files, and I still can't access the path, I see the path when I search for a new playlist I created in the S5, but I can't find it to access it. Do you know if there is a way?

I have a Samsung GT S5570 (Android 2.3.6).
I have some photos sent to me via WhatsApp and wonder if it's possible to transfer them to my PC (Win 10) and, if so, how would I do that?

I want to transfer _everything_ from my Galaxy S3 to a new LG G3 (verizon version, btw, not rooted). I know that Lollipop has some ability, but I also want all the apps and app data, including acct passwords, wifi passwords, SMS, MMS, contacts, photos, etc.

Did something happen with the way you transfer files on the new S6? I finally got the wife to switch from iPhone, and when she plugs in the phone to her computer, it just charges. It doesn't show in "My Computer" like every other android device I've ever used. Sometimes I'd have to drag down the notifications and select file transfer, or MTP, or something similar. This phone doesn't do any of that. It just charges, very frustrating.
I tried a different cable. Still, the phone just says its charging.
I even figured I'd go to settings, storage, but the menu option in there for "USB Computer Connection" is missing too. Its like the core functionality for usb file transfer is just gone.
What am I missing? Has it been this way for a while and I just never knew because I've been nexus for so long? I don't think thats it. Surely something is wrong and I'm just overlooking it.
For what its worth, it didn't work on my Mac either using the Android File Transfer program. That just says No Android Device Found.

I can't figure out why. Using the WiFi connection I sync the S Health app on my S4 to my Samsung account and then sync it on my S6. It remembers my personal biometrics but it doesn't have any record of my workout activity from the past two months. How can I get this information restored on the S6?

Brand new to android and currently have a Samsung S6. I am wanting to transfer my holiday pictures onto my laptop of which there are about 200. I've connected my phone to the laptop, its scanned it and says there's over a 1000 pictures to import. Once i transferred them all there's pictures that aren't even on my phone. A lot of them are icons of apps, pictures from the game Top Eleven and some random Facebook pictures?? Why its doing this?

Is there a way I can transfer a wallpaper image from my samsung galaxy s5 over to my s6 phone. As I deleted the photos from my S5, but only when it was too late I noticed all my photos weren't backed up. One photo of my cat was transferred into a wallpaper and is still on the phone. Is there a way I can now transfer this wallpaper back to a photo or send it to my new s6 mobile?

I just got my GS6, and I'm really sad because I'm reading that it's very hard to transfer SMS from windows to android (or any other) devices. There has to be a way though! I have a lumia 1020 and I am wondering if any ways to transfer SMS at all, even if it'll take a bit of extra work I don't mind.

I have had a 64GB SD card in my Galaxy S5 for a while. Of course the capacity is actually 59GB and I have just about 56GB of files(music,pics,videos,etc.) I was recently gifted a 128 GB SD card that I've been wanting. Now,the problem is transferring all my stuff from old SD card to new one. Back when I had smaller cards from 4 even to 32GB,I could back it up to my PC hard drive. Since then,I still have the same PC/hard drive but with not enough space. What can I do?

I have used the Samsung Kies program to transfer my Contacts, Music and Pictures, but there doesn't seem to be
any option within the program to transfer text messages.
