![]() ![]() Either way, there's a constant need to transfer items from old phones to new ones. In addition, software is constantly being developed for "the next generation" of hardware, so older devices have a constant problem of being unable to keep up with higher power apps. This extreme overuse causes them to break down frequently. For example, mobile technology is fragile, yet today it's used more often than desktop computers. Overall Opinion: The nature of smartphone development has led to a never-ending cycle of upgrades, with people commonly replacing their mobile devices yearly. To be sure you don't lose anything, do as I did and keep a backup of valuable content (pictures and videos) on a cloud service that won't be affected of changing phones! But hopefully, for others this will work seamlessly, without loss of data. But I just have to comment that switching from an old to a new Samsung device actually wasn't as straight-forward as I had expected. I'm not aware if i might have caused this error myself (by clicking on some setting without being aware of it) or whether it could be something that happened by software error, for example when using the Samsung Smart Switch software to transfer content. So, why these pictures disappeared from the "Pictures" folder of both phones I don't know. But only a few selected pictures that I have taken with my phone camera (and spread out in time, so not just the most recent ones) appear now in the "Picture" folder. ![]() I find all my pictures, as expected, in Google photos and Dropbox (viewing on either phone), and these services sync pictures with the phone. I just noticed that the photos that I was trying to transfer are no longer available on EITHER phone, neither the old (Samsung S8) nor the new (Samsung S9). But I may have been mistaken about pictures not being transferred. ![]() It certainly is a fact that I have had to reinstall many apps, and that much content has had to be retrieved from cloud, i.e. Overall Opinion: Referring to the review that I just wrote: I claimed that the software wasn't transferring all photos and apps. ![]()
