Moving to a new smartphone – now that's a pain. And the smartphone jungle is so overcrowded nowadays that you'd have to switch brands at some point or another – unless you are a die-hard fan of whatever manufacturer your current device comes from, there will come a point at which you will either feel disappointed by said manufacturer's newest offering, or you will just feel like switching to something unfamiliar and fresh. No matter the reason, one thing is for sure – while jumping phones that have been made by the same manufacturer is usually a painless task, jumping brands is a whole other deal, as the phones often refuse to "talk" to each other.
Thankfully, in recent times, smarpthone slingers realize that users have a lot of pictures, music, videos, messages, etc. and that some of those users are even held aback from jumping ship to another device because they fear having to spend hours to set their data up on the new phone. Thus, transferring apps were born – they once started as PC syncing programs, and some of them evolved... uh – down, and can now do phone-to-phone transfers, without the need for a PC or cables. We'll be taking a look at these transferring apps and options in the following weeks, to see if all of them perform as expected.
First up, let's check out HTC's Tranfer Tool.
HTC's offering can copy all of your media, contacts, and messages, as long as your older device is running Android 2.3 or higher. If it's on Windows Phone or any other software, the Transfer Tool will attempt only to copy your contacts over, via a Bluetooth connection. Check out the slideshow below to see how we transferred the data from a Galaxy Note Edge to an HTC One (M8).
