Lumia Icon :: Transfer Data Almost Copies IPhone Text Messages
Feb 27, 2014
I'm migrating from an iPhone 4 (iOS 6) to the Icon and tried without much success to transfer text messages to my new phone. I was able to transfer contacts successfully... and the Text Message option does appear when I pair my iPhone, but is says "0 Found," quite the contrary from what is actually on the phone. Since it seems like the transfer app wants to work, any trick to make it happen.
I just purchased a new Nokia Lumia Icon as an upgrade for my very well used HTC Trophy. I was able to use the 'Transfer My Data' app to move my contacts over, but the app was only able to copy my oldest 500 text messages over.
Is there any other way to transfer all text messages over, or for the 'Transfer My Data' app to transfer the newest 500 rather than the oldest 500? I'm on Verizon if that makes any difference.
A friend have two iphones, a 4 and 4s. She has tried to transfure the data from the 4 to 4s using itunes, and this has been mostly sucessful. However, some of the text messages and notes have not been synced? Also, when i try and sync her 4 in its entirety, i.e not just notes and contacts, but music and movies aswell, it says it has been synced with another itunes library and do i want to erase the data.
I'm planning to buy lumia 920 but I was wondering if I could transfer text message, photos, and contacts easily? I'm not sure if lumia has Nokia Sync since it uses another software.
I used the transfer my data app to transfer all my txt messages from my old phone. When I paired it it only found 2048 messages whereas I'd more than 10000 texts on my old Blackberry.
Is there a limit to the number of texts that can be transferred using this app? Any other way to. Get all messages from my old blackberry 10 Phone?
I started with an intermittent text receiving issue a couple of days ago. Text will work fine, then they stop. After the that the only way to get them working again is a reboot. Called VZW, they ran tests on their side, etc. I'm thinking this is on the phone side.
This morning, the text app is giving me the "resuming" msg. and also started crashing. Also some other apps are crashing like looking at pictures.
Seems like a hard reset is needed here? I'm out of town, won't be back for 2 weeks. Need the phone to work, so if I hard reset, will I be in a need of a wifi to get the phone operational again?
I backed up my old phone and the connected my new iphone, however my text messages only go up to the 29/04/2012 and not todays date. Do you know how I can get the missing text messages off my old phone ?.
I have recently purchased the Iphone 4s and am wondering if i can transfer my text messages from my old iphone 4. Im not sure that my iphone 4 was synced with my computer and am worried that if i plug in my old Iphone, it will mess up the new one which i have sice synced with my computer
After always using iPhones I'm finally making the switch over to Android. I'm most likely going to get a LG G4 to replace my iPhone 6 Plus but my main issue is I'm unsure how I can transfer my data from my iPhone to the LG ?
I'm most concerned about if I can copy my text messages and iMessages over so they will be on the new phone. Is this possible ?
How do I transfer text messages and iMessages from iPhone 4 to 4S? Have tried itunes backup, but it did not bring over the data,So I now have the 4S with contacts and apps on but none of my old messages. If I try to do a iCloud backup now, is it going to go over the new data on the 4S
Since 2/23, I have had massive data usage at random times. 1GB here and there, sometimes in the middle of the night.My Data Sense shows that the "Restore data" app has used 8.17 GB in the last two days. All of my other apps are using negligible amounts of data.What is the "Restore data" app, and how do I tell it to stop using so much data?
One additional bit of info: 2/23 was also the date that the Microsoft Health app updated. I use a MS Band. It seems like there may have been some type of update pending on the band. When I called Verizon's tech support, they said that the pending update might have something to do with the massive data usage. We completed the update to the Band, and they said to give it another day to see if the data usage continues. What this "Restore data" app is, it doesn't sound like it has anything to do with the Band.
I am trying to transfer digital copies of movies to my xoom. The first is a universal studios which I put on my computer but cannot transfer to my xoom.The second is a lions gate film digital copy which makes you go through itunes. I did that but cannot get it to my xoom.I traded in my Ipad 2 for a xoom for more possibilities. I guess i should have stuck with the obvious simple Ipad because I am not smart enough to use the xoom.
i've been an iphone user since 2008. I consider myself a fan of good products. I have my lumia 920 which is the best phone to currently hit the american market, but i am unable to use it in its current state. There is solutions to transfer your contacts, calendar, pictures, video, and music along with playlist and album covers. But i'm stump that there isnt a way to transfer my text and mms from my iphone. i have important messages and would like to be able to utilize only one device if i need to reference anything. with all the work you have put into migration i'm surprise text wasn't first on the list. i have my phone but havent activated it yet and probably won't if i cant bring over my past text history from my iphone 4s. i dont understand how it was presented that migration from an iphone would be seamless when migrating a big piece of important content was left out and as of now no announce to develop a solution. as much as i dont want to but i may have no option but to return and abandon nokia and windows phone altogether, because that is a big deal breaker for me and i'm sure many others. i did not know during my anticipation of this wondeful device, that, i would have this as an issue.
The text icon disappeared and I do not receive notifications of new text messages. The only way I can find a text is to locate the sender in my Contacts.
After only a couple of days with my torch and not having modified it all, all of a sudden when I click on the TEXT message icon, it just shows my regular inbox.It used to show only SMS messages and was really cool. Now it shows emails and all!
I dont see anywhere to change this back to the original behavior. I did a hard reset with no luck.So far I love my phone even with the minor annoyances like it hangs for a few seconds after unlocking it everytime, fine I can live with that. But I really want to fix this text message thing
My new Bold is showing my sent emails (from a gmail account) as if they were a new received email, simply showing what I sent but as an email sent from me.
I am switching from the Torch, and with the setup I had there, an email sent would show up in my blackberry messages folder as a sent message (regardless of whether I sent it from the blackberry or from gmail on the web).
I'm a bit stumped. I have my Icon synced with my Mercedes C300 via Bluetooth. Everything works fine..receiving and making calls. Responding to texts with Cortana. However, I want to add a new contact to the cars phone book. I go to the contact on the Icon...select share the contact...choose via Bluetooth....but the Bluetooth connection for the car does not show up to select. This is very strange since the phone and the car are already connected via Bluetooth.
I have been getting multiple repeat texts on my Blackberry Curve 8530. For instance, I will get as many as five or six copies of the exact same message within a few minutes of each other. The people who are texting me are only sending the message once, so I assumed the problem was on my end. I reset the phone about three times per week, but the problem does not improve or get worse. I have even pulled the battery after it happens, but it continues after it reboots.
I have transferred some mp3 files from another Nokia phone to my Nokia E63. The files are stored in the messages folder. How do I transfer my Files from the Messages folder to a folder in the MMC.
Trying to transfer all data from iphone 5s to Xperia Z5. it runs through the entire process fine but doesn't copy and texts/whatsapp msgs. Â I've tried it on both usb connection and wifi. same result, photos/videos/call logs etc all fine but no msgs!!
I've read my Android phone with everything else I need - apps, contacts, drives etc -, just can't find a way to transfer my photos, videos, text messages and all from my Windows phone to the Android.
So my question is; What would be the best way to go about transferring all my data from my Nokia Lumia 925 to my Galaxy S5 or just photos, videos, text messages ?
I sent a similar message about 50 min ago but included a typo which said test messages instead of text messages.
I received some text messages which includes photos on my bb curve 9360 and cannot find any way to copy the photos from the text messages onto my pc. Alternatively, If I could only find out how to transfer these photos in the text messages to the camera sections photos on the bb. When I connect the bb to the computer and utilise the bb desktop sw I can see the photos from the photo media section on the pc but not the photos in the text messages.
