Thank you so much! Smart Switch has been giving me problems for a while now but you've fixed that. Thanks again!!!
Thank you very Much ! you saved the day!!!! After the data backup, I couldn't find the restore option. Samsung instructions were wrong.... So helpful, thank you, thank you
Wow, wow, wow. You don't know how much this video helped me. I was able to see the bakup in my google drive, but there was no option to restore. And then i watched this video. Thanks alot for sharing this type of video.
Thank you for watching! I’m glad this helped! :)
Thank you so much! The Samsung Switch is a useless app and they have removed the "restore" option under google in the settings. You saved the day by giving this alternate method. Once again, thank you.
Glad I could help. Thank you for watching!
Oh my goodness i love your face!!!!!🎉🎉🎉🎉 I been struggling for hours!!!!!
After all these years I forgot how to restore . Usually I upgrade every year so I just transfer from one phone to another so I totally forgot how to restore thank you for this video
First time seeing your video. Very helpful information!
Thank you for watching!
I only clicked to know how to restore, but you didn't mention where we can start with that, you just showed a screen 🤦🏻♂️
Why did bro like this comment
@@thomasiee_exactly😭
Exactky... How dumb is a video tutorial which does not show te dos steps...
??? 3:48 , right here he starts the explanation on how to use the restore. I realize this is 7 months too late but it's not like the video has changed. It's not a hard concept to grasp. Sign in to Google, on your new or reset device. Then follow the steps.
Why the H*LL does Google/Android have a BACKUP feature WITHOUT a RESTORE feature? I was in Information Technology for 32 years, Google's/Android's TOTAL LACK a RESTORE feature for a device NOT being replaced by a new one is CHILDISH and ASININE! 🤬🤬👹👹
Thank you bro so much I appreciate your content alot!
so this actualy worked to transfer my Dragon Quest save files for android... thanks god, finaly!
That’s awesome! Thanks for watching!
Thanks for the video,
Subscribed😊👍
Thank you! That was really helpful.
Glad it was helpful!
THANK YOU SO MUCHHH, YOU ANSWERED ALL MY QUESTIONSSS
Thank you for watching!
Simple enough! Good video
Can you please explain why didn't you choose the most recent back? Thanks
❤❤❤❤❤Awesome tutorial! THANKS SO MUCH!!😊
I think that the screen he is showing for the "restore option" is the welcome screen that displays automatically after the phone has been reset and reverts back to factory settings. Just like when you purchase a new phone and then turn it on with a new SIM card, probably. There are many more videos about this same situation (restore from Google One backup) that can help😊🙋
Thanks alot. Google really should make this a more visible option.
Nice explanation
The only thing about back up using mobile or metered wifi data, it's not good because if you travel, you'll be charged for it as roaming unless you don't travel out of your country, you can use it.
THANK YOU!
Thank You very much!!
how do you know if you need more space or not because when i backed up the information he amount of storage used stayed the same?
thanks that did help
Thank you for this
Thanks for watching!
Will this restore old text messages that I need to pull off my old phone if I do the restore function? Thanks
Can we use this method after factory reset 2nd time,will the previous backups functioning??
Heyy 👋 lucky newly subscribed to your channel....quick question, I have a S23+ android, I starting to run outta internal storage, I wanna move my biggest files (video) to my 2 TB storage that I pay monthly, how can I go about it exactly?? Much needed help, thank you in advance!! 🙏
Can you back up secure folder?
thanks helped a lot
Thank you for watching!
My google account doesn't show the page of "copy apps data and restore " while signing in 😢. What can i do now 😞
great stuff
My phone google was maxed out and it stopped backing up since June and my whatsapp stop backing up since February then my phone screen broke so now I've made some space the automatic backup would not work. Is there a way to push google to backup from the webpage?
The phone is on and connected to the internet but the screen is blank.
you save my life from losing everything from my old phone
Thank you for watching! Let me know if there is any other video ideas you would like to me cover!
I have an over full Note 8 & recently got a refurb Note20Ultra, but couldn't do full wireless xfer with smart witch because (I was told) the note 8 is too full & 2) because my wireless is provided by my apt. Bldg so it prevents data sharing? (I can't wireless print return ups la bels from Amz for example because of this problem withwireless). Someone helped me & was able to xfer photos to new Note but said I'd have to manually add all my apps. Once I'd done the main ones, I moved the sim card & my phone service worked & my contact list was there but all my txt messages are missing & I need them. I have a Gmail account & a paid subscription for Google storage (200gb, 82% full), will above method work for me? I need to be able to use my new phone asap as old is so full I'm having trouble using my photo/gallery features & I use those daily. I'm worried as I've already taken a bunch of new photos with my new phone & I don't want to lose them. Will this "restore" wipe out anything I already have on my new phone, such as photos, new msgs, & new apps? (I've added some new apps I didn't have room for on my old note 8 for example, too.).
Have questions concerning "undocking" 1 - wasn't clear where you jumped over to when you "undocked" flash drive before unplugging, it appeared it wasn't part of the Google process (which doesn't make sense, if they let u choose to back up to a flash drive then unlocking when done should be part of their steps shouldn't it?) 2) when I moved my Sim card, the mocro xd storage card I had in my old note 8 came out in tray with it. Nothing came up on my phone saying I had to do any unlocking procedure. I put it with Sim card into new phone and when I went to device care to check my storage on new phone it wasn't showing a storage card in my new phone. Did I do something wrong and if so can it be fixed? Or did I just lose all the photos on that memory card? Doesn't make sense to me that notices don't comeuppance if we're not supposed to do something? I've changed phone costs and put new dim cards in my phone before and never "undocked" storage card b4 when opening phone to put new card in & never had a problem so I'm not sure what to do. It does appear tho, that I have to put sim and memory card back on old phone so I can at least send out & receive mtxt messages until I'm able to figure out how to xfer this to new phone so your help would be greatly appreciated. Seems my situation Us a bit more complex than what's addressed in your videos & not something as common. We don't have any tech people in our apt. Bldg that know anything about usage of our free bldg wide wireless so I don't know where to turn for help. I'm not very tech savvy as you've probably already figured out so thanks in advance for any help you're willing to give. FYI Watched your smart switch vid 1st & it was easy to follow, just shame won't work for me! (Won't even connect the 2 despite doing everything right, like they don't even see each other?). Don't know if this helps at all, but when I accidentally hit the cast button in my audible app, I see a list of neighbors devices & when I've hit one by mistake, I can no longer hear my audio book. I bet some neighbor us wondering why their TV show all of a sudden is interrupted & they start hearing a narrator from my latest Sci fi novel til I figure it out & get it turned off!!😅)
Anyway, this in advance for your help!
Is anyone else experiencing a restore issue of Google One not completely restoring call logs or home screen folder layout to the new device?
I'm going from Motorola Stylus 5G (2023) to Samsung Galaxy A25 and I've tried multiple times via Google One and Samsung Switch, but it's still not working.
Could someone please shed some light on this for me?
It's very frustrating having to recreate folders and missing 4 months of call history. 😖
I have a pixel 8 and had to do a reset. I didnt get any option for cant use old device ended up manually doing everything
You are a life saver 😀
did you saved the photos?
What is the difference between backup google and samsung cloud? What is better and more complete? I want have all same (apps, settings…) I don’t understand the difference between samsung cloud and google cloud backup
I mainly use google back up because photos are saved to google photos and apps and such are backed up as well. Samsung backup backs up your photos and videos to a Microsoft account and info is saved on your Samsung cloud. I hope that helps! Thanks for watching!
Great video thank you that really helped, but a little note remove old device sessions from the google account so it doesn't send verification to old version phone and register new one as a different one when you remove old phone your backups will be asked to restore.
Thanks for the feedback! Thanks for watching!
I've never done a backup or restore with Google one but a friend of mine did the backup and he told me I could restore my phone settings by signing into Play Store which I did but it did not restore anything so I downloaded Google one and now it's saying something about the storage is full. I'm afraid to delete anything because I'm not sure if I'm deleting my backup information or stuff that maybe was left on the phone by the previous owner. Please help
After restoring your back up in new phone if you delete your back up photo in new phone if the photo will be deleted from your old phone
How can i restore some of my stuff because they are only on Google account i need my pictures and apps
So you can only do a restore on a new or factory reset phone ? Does the back save your apps ? And does a restore actually reinstall those apps ? The internet is very scant on showing the restore process.
Correct you can only do a restore process when the phone is in brand new set up. It will have apps backed up, but may not back up app data. Thanks for watching!
My tablet on a factory restore android 11china tablet has no option to restore
So basically you lose all progress and levels on a game even if you backup?@@LuckyTechLife
What does it mean if the status is off in 3:07 in photos and videos???? Btw very helpful vid
I have notes on my phone
Does this get backed up
Is there a way to restore without resetting your new device?
Is there STILL no setting to restore the app folders/groups from the old device to the new device? So I still have to spend ages re-creating the app folders/groups?
the restore process is either all or nothing.. No setting to just select specific folders
This might be a silly question. Does this process also back up my Homescreen setup like widgets etc ?
The backup process does do that. Certain apps may not like work apps that are outside of the play store. But the switch should just be a copy and paste! Thanks for watching!
Thanks very much for your very helpful advice and information. 😀
Here's how to restore your phone data from a Google backup after a factory reset:
1. **Turn on your phone and go through the setup until you reach the point where you need to choose a language and connect to Wi-Fi.**
2. **Connect to a Wi-Fi network.** This is necessary to download data from the cloud.
3. **When prompted, choose the option to "Restore data from backup."** This might be labeled as "Restore from cloud," "Restore Google data," or something similar.
4. **Sign in to your Google account.** Enter your email address and password.
5. **Select the backup you want to restore.** If you have multiple devices, choose the correct backup based on the date and device.
6. **Follow the on-screen instructions.** The system will guide you to restore apps, settings, contacts, and other data.
7. **Wait for the restoration process to complete.** This may take some time, depending on the amount of data and your internet speed.
Once the restoration is complete, your apps, contacts, settings, and other data should be restored on your device.
Thanks a bunch. you got me out of a fix at 4:08
Thanks for watching!! :)
Hi. I wonder if anyone can help me. I recently transferred to a new phone and I guess I didn't do the Google backup thing beforehand because my old WhatsApp conversations have not transferred & there are some other unexpected annoyances. I still have both phones handy.
My question is:
*What should I do if I want to get my old WhatsApp conversations on my new phone?
* Can I try and just redo the whole process again?
I have forgotten my old screen lock password, so now how do I restore my backup data
This all look good if you restore to same phone. When you restore from Moto or some other xyz brand other than Samsung to Samsung , it fails. Your best bet is phone to phone smart copy using cable or wifi(scanning QR code). I will probably try another method by installing backup and Restore app from google play and give a try. I think old Samsung phones are more stable than new trashy devices. Anyway , I am not a fan of Korean brand.
Thanks for this video! Samsung did not back up any of my app data (especially for some games) and I think it is stored in google drive but I can't find any way to restore the google drive backup. When I open smart switch now it requires me to have a device, no option to do it by signing in to google. Any suggestions?
Same I need my apps and my files
i had some connection problems during the restore process, and it didnt restore any of my data, is there an option to restore them after i setup the smartphpne, or do i have to reset it?
Good question. You’ll have to reset. The restore process happens during the initial phone setup
bro is the data of app also getting backed up i mean whether the app will launch as fresh install or from the point where we took the backup?
Great question! This just sends the app. App data is tough to send over, and may need to be signed in. With most apps nowadays, everything is either saved or backed up by an email. Thanks for watching!
My G phone 6 has a broken non functioning, I have a G phone 7, just delivered, how can I back up?
My G6 has been used as normal and such, not done back up manually, as I did not know the screen would mess up,
Ok your G6. If the screen is messed up, unfortunately you may not be able to do anything about it. Only thing would be if you had that phone automatically backed up. Sometimes phones do and sometimes they don’t. If you don’t see the backup when you are setting up the new phone, then I unfortunately you may need to start from scratch. I hope this helps! Thanks for watching!

Good content, but for some reason its not accepting PIN and wont copy data
Does this back up the attachments/photos on SMS? The first time I tried it it transferred the text but zero attachments/photos. Thanks
I do not think it transfers attachments. Just the text. Prior to transferring save the attachment and back it up! Thanks for watching!
@@LuckyTechLife Thanks. I used SMS Back Up And Restore and it worked flawlessly. Sad part, I did all this before I realized the phone I just bought has the worst incoming call earpiece I ever experienced so I returned the phone. *sigh*
Not much help. I just wanted to restore one SMS conversation that I deleted by mistake. Looks like this is not possible . Sad.
I don't have the restore button after adding Gmail account. If I'm not mistaken, once email is added, it does it in the background
Some phones will have it and some dont.. most of the android phone when going into settings, Google, should have a back up.. Then when the new phone gets started up, type in the google account and there will be a restore option. Hope this helps!
4:27
I made the backup, it shows that I have it, but in mine nothing appears there. is there another way?
When you do the backup and see the time stamp. You’ll have to factory the phone you want restored. And process the restore process from there
@@LuckyTechLife Thank you!
If i am already signed in new device and do a factor reset in new phone is it safe? What data can i loose in new phone
If there’s nothing on the new phone, you shouldn’t be worried. Just gotta do a factory reset and restore.
All data apps from the old phone can backup?
Unfortunately.. no. You’ll have to sign back in to most. If not all the app’s. Some apps have a backup option
In my case, I deleted by accident an app with data I want to restore, can this be done from google backup? Thanks.
possibly..
Does the phone have to be in factory reset mode. I have a old phone that I'm trying to reuse but don't won't to factory reset it.
Unfortunately you have to do a factory reset in order to restore the backup
@@LuckyTechLife bummer, Okay thank you for reaching back out .
But in my situation I forget my old pattern and when I want backup the copy they asked me to enter the pattern while I have already forgotten it .
How can I solve this problem please 🙏
In all my years if you forgot the pattern. There may be no way..
I am looking for a restore option of selected data (e.g. I want SMS and contacts, but no photos, or the other way around) *after* I have already performed the initial phone setup. I.e., I do not want to reset the new phone, because I put too much work into configuring it already.
From what I’ve experienced, you would have to reset on the new phone.. bc your data is already saved and backed up.. Hope this helps!
@@LuckyTechLife Thanks, but only some data are saved. I use dozens of apps that I had to set up from scratch after the latest migration. Especially finance and banking apps are a PITA to activate from abroad. It is not an option to do all that again. It always takes me two weeks to get everything right.
Bro I forgot to click a restore after a factory reset so what I do restore my backup
You have to factory reset the phone again and restore from setup! Thank you for watching!
If someone have greyed back now button - disable all locks (fingerprint / pattern etc) - then backup. It is temporary solution. For permanent - you must use ADB
i already open my new phone, and pass that setup... where can i restore now... thanks
The restore process takes place in the setup stage of the phone. You may have to factory reset your device and set it up again. Congrats on the new phone! Thanks for watching!
Does this back up user data?
Great Question! This app does back up certain user data. I’ve seen some info transfer that was surprising. Thanks for watching!
Hello, newly subscribed to your channel here but need some help with lost phone and wanting to restore data to new device after its already setup. Can you please help me with this?
Sure?
Does not seem you've done any real testing before creating this video. Google One is unable to properly backup MMS and RCS messages, even with a paid subscription. When Google restores messages it will only restore the text portions. All other content within MMS and RCS will appear blank.
Thanks for watching!
I wish I'd known this. How on earth do you ship a broken product like this?
Yes, I have the same problem, the text is there, but the picture associated with MMS is gone. I have a paid Google Drive storage subscription too, I'm on my 8th correspondence with Google, and they keep sending me the same directions. I made them a video, now they want me to send them a debug file running in the developer mode, I think they are clue less, but I got the file to send them.
Who uses mms
@@Toni185 You do when you send a text with a photo, it's like the protocol used in messages
Want to know , how do i back up everything on my android phone and then factory reset it , but I don't want to lose any of my apps or games , pictures and videos , if I lose game data I will have to start all over again , so how do i do it please ?
First watch this video. Then here’s how to erase. czcams.com/video/n99Uo8pinr4/video.html
What if I already opened my new phone and already signed in?
If you already signed in, you may have to factory erase the new phone and start over again.. Kind of tedious, but that’s how you restore to the full experience. Thank you for watching!
👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻 👍🏻
Can u make it not backup certain apps
Apps are all or nothing unfortunately
My whatsapp number is banned. Can I restore my whatapp chat back up to another new phone number from google drive?
You should be able to
I tried same but pictures and videos in gallery is not getting restored.
You’ll have to make sure your photos and videos are backed up into google photos. Once those are backed up, in your new phone, you should see them by logging in with the the same google account. Thanks for watching!!
@@LuckyTechLife iam to view pics n videos but not able to download all of them back to phone at once after resetting phone.
I did this and it restored everything but my photos. The photos are all there in one drive but for some reason they haven't restored back into my Gallery. Anyone have any tips on how to get them back?
Depends on what phone you have. they wont go back into gallery. It’ll be in your google photos.
Does it backup Facebook data? I mean Facebook id username and password.
It does not. If you have your Facebook info saved in google password, you may need to look in there. Thanks for watching!
This works from android to another android device ?
Yes it does
@@LuckyTechLife thanks, I just did this method and it worked out well.
why i have to hard reset
It’s the only way to process a complete restore on your android phone. When going into the settings, the restore only happens through the contacts and photos, nothing else. Thanks for watching!
Plz reply asap !!! I am stressed
Do you have questions about your backup and restore?
got all the way up to the pin and- "something went wrong. Try again later."
You can try to turn off the phone and turning it back on. Resets sometimes fix those issues. Thanks for watching!
I have forgotten my old phone password. Please help
If you forgotten for old password. You’ll need that in order to continue or you’ll have to start fresh..
i followed all the steps but when i logged back in it said there were no backups found. fuck Google
4:43 what of you can't remember the lock screen, cuz it was a pattern 😑
you’ll have to remember it.. unfortunately..
Plz help. I have some mistake. I passed this option. But I forget to restore data. Without restoring data I setup my phone after reset. Now how can I restore data. Plz help
No big deal! The way you can restore your backup is erasing your device first. Once you do that, it’ll bring you to the transfer screen just like in the video and enter your gmail. Thanks for watching !
@@LuckyTechLife thank you.
Verified my backup with Samsung & Google. Day I went to restore neither Samsung or Google could find the backup. How fucking ignorant.
