Continuing  the previous article, this time I will use the Samsung Smart Switch (SS) application on a PC / laptop tobackup data on a cellphone. The application can be downloaded here with a size of about 39.2 MB.

The installation process is quite easy, click Next and Finish and if the PC / laptop at that time is still connected to the internet, then an application update will be checked, wait for it to finish and then click OK.

Oh yes, I will backup data from Samsung Galaxy A70 (SM-A705F) and Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) (SM-A750GN).

Here is the guide :

1. In the SS application that has been opened, connect the cellphone device that will be backed up (in this case I backed up the Samsung Galaxy A70 first). If your HP device uses a password, please unlock it first.

2. Select Allow if the following image appears.

3. If your HP device is connected, click Backup.

4. Select the data to be backed up then click OK and wait for it to finish then click OK.

5. SS will inform you of the data that is not backed up and the result of  the backup, click OK to close it.

6. Next, I will remove the Samsung Galaxy A70 cellphone and connect the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018) cellphone. Unlike before, this time the SS application detects an application update for the Samsung Galaxy A7 (2018), click Update – Continue – Continue and wait for it to finish then click OK and will return to the start page.

7. Repeat steps 3 and 4 as above until the result is like step 5.

That’s the step to back it up, how to restore it  ? It’s actually easy, just click Restore and follow the next step, but at that time I didn’t have the opportunity to try it. Just pray that I will have a chance to discuss it. Thanks.

Usually if we buy a new cellphone (HP), of course we want all data on the old cellphone to move to the new cellphone, such as pictures, songs, contacts, etc. If the new cellphone is still the same brand as the old cellphone, it may not be too difficult, because there is already a data transfer application available from the cellphone aforementioned. Obstacles will be encountered if the brand is different, then a third-party application is needed to process it and it is not necessarily perfect.

This time I will transfer data from Samsung J5 to Samsung A7 with the Smart Switch (SS) application that is already available on each cellphone. Before doing, make sure the battery condition in each cellphone is above 50% so that it is sufficient during the transfer time. Here’s the guide.

1. Run the SS application on both cellphones. Click Agree and Start for further processing.

2. On the Samsung J5, select Send data and on the Samsung A7, select Receive data.

3. Select Wireless on both cellphones as the connecting medium.

4. On the Samsung J5, select the data you want to transfer, then click Send.

On the Samsung A7, select the OS of the old cellphone, in this case I choose Android.

5. The search process between cellphones will take place and on the Samsung A7 will ask for confirmation to receive data from the Samsung J5, click Receive for the next process.

6. For the completion time depends on the amount of data transferred, and if it has been completed, then the configuration on the new cellphone will be similar (depending on the cellphone features) with the old cellphone, among others, phone call logs, SMS, contacts, email configuration (just re-enter the password for verification), third-party applications will also be installed on the new cellphone according to the cellphone old time, but excluding logins and previous data, for the WA application can be backed up first via Google so that it is easy to restore later, including the wallpaper will also be installed automatically.

In addition to the method above, there is also using the Smart Switch application for PC, if there is a chance again I will try it. Thanks.
