Import a backup from Xperia Z to my Galaxy S4 - Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello everyone,
I had a Xperia Z smarthphone, but it's screen cracked spontaneously when charging.
My salesperson gave me a Galaxy S4 today and I am trying to import the information from the backup I made from the Xperia Z, into the Galaxy S4 but it's not working so far.
Samsung has a tool called Smart Switch, but Sony isn't in the supported brands.
Is there a way I can either import the backup into the Galaxy S4, or can I extract PIM information (at least contacts would be nice) from the backup using my computer?
I'm in trouble if I lose my customers phonenumbers! I made a backup like you're supposed to, only to now find I can't do anything with it yet.
Help is much appreciated!

You should have used Google to store contacts etc. and this would be no issue.
Bit late now, but that's the point of the "cloud". And why Android is seamless in this respect.

Not so smart Samsung Galaxy S4

My Samsung Galaxy Tablet running Android 4.4.2 seems to be a far better version of Android than whats on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. Because at least I don't also, have to carry around with me a note book and pen, so I can store, all extra contact details I need for my contacts. And not just the one lousy phone number the stupid Samsung Galaxy S4 phone, allows me to have. Like. All of my contacts have residential street addresses. And some have more more than one contact phone number. And a lot also have email addresses, ad even web addresses. But the not so smart stupid Samsung Galaxy S4 doesn't permit me to anything other than just one lousy contact phone number per contact.
My Samsung Galaxy Tablet's operating system also came with a built in Note app. I'm still searching for one on my Samsung Galaxy S4 phone. No wonder people prefer to buy and use Iphones

upgrade from Samsung Galaxy s3 mini?

Hi everyone!
I am trying to help my wife upgrade her Verizon Samsung Galaxy S3 mini. She would prefer it to be small, and about $60. I purchased a 4 mini which was an improvement, but was open to suggestions for another Verizon smartphone. Thanks in advance!

you can search for the Xperia XZ1 Compact it's similar (in size), and you get a good processor

Compatibility samsung smartwatch on galaxy tab s2 T819

Hi,
Today I bought the latest samsung smartwatch R800. Apparently this watch is not compatible with my galaxy tab S2 (T819). I called Samsung support but they couldn't help and told me I have to use a phone. Is there a way to make it work on this tab? If not it's going back to the shop because it's no use for me if can't link to the tablet. Strange Samsung even makes products that are not compatible with their own devices!

I'm wondering that too. It's been 2 years for you, and how did it go??? I'm switching to an old Tab S2 8.0 and my watch isn't connecting.

Question Moving from Huawei to Samsung Questions

Hey everyone,
After many years without a Samsung (my last one was s3) I had a few questions on the move.
Is there an easy way to clone my Huawei phone (P30 Pro) to the newly coming Samsung (S21 Ultra)? - I know that there are clone applications for each company but its a move between them..
I'm using Lastpass as a password manager, and on Huawei theres an annoying bug that Accessibility Service and Draw Over Apps permissions just gets turned off occasionally, is that a thing in Samsung phones as well?
What are your suggestions for the first time using the phone, full charge? use out of the box?
Is there G-Cam for Exynos version?
Is rooting still a thing on Samsung devices?
Thanks alot!

1. Samsung devices will prompt you to migrate your phone's content with Smart Switch. It's pretty decent, it mimics what Huawei does with Phone Clone.
2. I have the same issue on my P30 Pro, no idea with that one.
3. It doesn't really matter, modern batteries don't have the same issue with "battery memory" or whatever it was called that plagued early cellphones. It would still be preferable to keep it between 20%-80% most of the time.
4. Probably not yet, but no clue about that.
5. Yes, however I know some phones lose some camera optimizations when rooted so that's something to look into.
