It depends on what you are trying to transfer. For wifi passwords, contacts, emails, hangouts, etc, that should all be saved to your Google account so when you log in to your account on your new phone it should automatically sync. For most everything else I would use Titanium Backup. If you're rooted you can backup and transfer your entire phone, if not you can still backup all your apps and data, but not the system information.
Do a search for Titanium Backup in the app store and visit the Titanium Backup homepage for more information on how to use it.

I just got my GT-N7100 and was trying to migrate my N-7000 contacts and other backedup data to the new device but it wont take the files associated with GT-N7000 Does any one have any idea on how to do it without much hastle.
sync to google, Log into google on the new phone and sync contacts Job done :good:
As for data, What data are you referring to ? Are both phones rooted? If so, Try titanium backup

The google contacts have synced the one on my SIM wont , messages, Music. I even created a backup og GT-N7100 and it uses 4 different file formats but nothing that would support GT-N7000 file format (i guess it is .Sub)
As much as I hate Kies, Have you tried it ?
It does have a backup function which should transfer across to the new Note. If not, There are apps that can backup messages and playlists, Im pretty sure Titanium can do this also (I dont backup messages, and all music is on external SD)
The sim contacts should be easy to transfer, Just pop the sim into the new Note and then export from SD to Phone, Or do this on the Note 1 and then sync them to google and resync on Note 2

Yes i created backup using KIES itself thats how the .SUB file extension was created.As far as the Sim goes the problem is both the sim's are different one a regular while other a micro sim (Microsim can get stuck in N7000 without the adapter). I have the cutter and can cut the sim and slide it in the new note but wanted to move the contents from it before cutting. Havent tried titanium backup will do it today and see if the backup files created by it on N7000 are compatible with N7100.
Oh my bad ! I didnt know you had used Kies. Im not sure what extension it creates cause I never use it lol I hate it !!
You shouldnt have any issues with titanium, Its a wonderful tool that can do almost anything.
As for the micro sim, I didnt know the Note 2 had one what is with these damn things I hate them, reminds me of people trying to be like apple !
Anyway good luck
Here some suggestions
Use this guide how to restore kies contact backup
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=30984377&postcount=5
- try this
In note1 go to contact display options and make all visible
Then contact - export/import-export to ext sd card
Then use same micro sd to note2 and same wat use import from contact
Use sms backup/restore for msgs
-read toolbox from my note 1 signature and find transfer data application
You can transfer contact and msgs from one device to other devices with blutooth.

What do you mean by everything? Because absolutely "everything" would be a nandroid backup. Do you mean just your emails? l you emails, apps, and other play services? Or apps, media, launcher, sms', contacts?
All of your services linked to your Google account (such as Gmail, Play Store Apps, G+ media, Play Music, etc) is backed up by default. Have you turned this off and want to know how to turn it back on?
If you want to grab everything off your SD Card, you can zip it up and upload it to Drive.

If you are rooted and have CWM then your best option is a nandroid backup. This is only if you will restoring your backup to the same (type of) phone that you used to make the nandroid backup.
What I believe happened to you last time was the auto-backup feature provided by Google. This should already be on for you, but you can check by following these steps.
PS: This is the S4 Active forum, not S4 forum. Doesn't matter in this case though, but in the future you should look for the right one.
I'd like my new m8 to be set up as closely as possible to my old m7, but I'm a little confused about the overlapping restore capabilities between Titanium Backup Pro and Google Play (and assume HTC Sync adds nothing those two don't have)
The m7 is running stock 4.4 and TB Pro. The m8 is running stock 4.4.2 and is fresh out of the box except for being rooted.
My plan is to use TB to restore my user apps and data, and then selectively restore system apps, at a minimum things like SMS, Call History, Clock, because I'm under the impression Google Play won't restore those apps and data. But what does Google Play restore? Contacts? Calendar? Phone settings? Do I need to worry about the TB and GP restores stepping on each other?
Or is 4.4 close enough to 4.4.2 that I can just restore all system apps and data using TB and not worry about it?
Any help is much appreciated!

The combination of HTC backup and ES file explorer (app manager) have served me well
and google takes care of my contact list and paid apps. Dropbox comes in handy as well

Google Play will handle all your contacts if you chose to save them on your google account, if not you can manually save them by going to people then pressing menu and put manage contacts, in there there is a import/export contacts option open that up and put export to phone storage, select phone and put no, then ok, this will output a file called pcsc_pcsc_001.vcf to your phone storage so all you have to do is transfer that to your m8 and put import.
Never restore system applications across different devices as it can cause issues, to transfer sms messages open the messages application and put backup/restore sms and select back up and select ok, it will give you the option to backup sms or backup sms via mail, just select backup sms, you can put in a password or select the box that says do not password protect this backup, you can name it if you'd like, after the backup is complete the file is stored under a folder called sms_backup so all you have to do is transfer it to the m8 under the same location and put restore.
For app data you can go with the titanium backup method or under settings there a backup & reset section, inside there's a back up my data just enable that either select and htc account or google account it tells you what it saves, I've personally never used this method but it seems to be easier than transferring everything manually.
Theres also a get content from another phone under the settings, since your transferring to a m8 just put htc android device and it give you the option for quick transfer or full transfer, full transfer requires you to download an application on on your m8 and link the to devices, the transfer is done via a wifi hotspot that is created on your m7 so charges may apply.
All these options are present on sense 5.5, not sure how all these options stand on any of the sense 6 ports or if all are present and done the same way on sense 5. Good luck transferring and enjoy your m8
I am having no luck trying to migrate all of the data that is in S Planner on a S5 to a newly purchased S10e.
I have tried doing a full backup of the S5 with Samsung SmartSwitch, as well as only backing up the calendar, but when I do a restore on the S10e it is only seeing 9 items in the calendar backup, when there are actually hundreds of entries in the calendar.
The restore is being done by direct connection of the two phones via cable, not WiFi. It all seems to go as it should, but, as mentioned, all of the calendar events on the S5 are not being migrated.
I have scoured the web for possible solutions, but have found none, hence this post.
Surely it should not be this hard to migrate all of the calendar data from one phone to another.
Is there an alternative method, other than SmartSwitch, that I can use to migrate the data?
Am I missing something simple here?
Any help will be much appreciated.
Go to Calendar app info, in settigs, force stop it, the clear it's data & cache, then migrate it's data from smart switch, don't open the app,
Reboot, and see if it's all there.
SOLVED
Thanks for the response @Mohamedkam000, but I solved the problem myself using a 3rd party PC application.
The problem, as I see it, was that all of the calendar entries, bar 9, were saved to the PC Sync calendar database, which SmartSwitch did not recognize or backup. Who knew???
I got a copy of Wondershare MobileTrans which found and backed up all of the calendar entries [2560 of them] from the old phone and successfully transferred them to the new phone.
Hopefully this solution will be helpful to someone else, who may find themselves in a similar predicament as me.
So I have had my Samsung s10 for a while since January and you can have a samsung account. Its annoying that you have to have a samsung account just for discord in the games launcher as well as to see what other apps to update in the galaxy store.
The main reason is it can backup my phone such as lock screen settings app icon layouts. Not sure what else having a samsung account can backup. Settings as well as Samsung app settings. As I used to use helium app to backup and sync since 2011 but development seems to have stopped as I get few bugs and issues with the app that makes it hard to use.
I do use folder sync to move taken photos and screenshots off my phone to cloud as well as backup signal chats.
The dark side of having a Samsung account is privacy and control over my data.
So any advice and what things did you find when having a Samsung account?
