quote:well he is kinda right. If you are logged on to your gmail all of your contacts should be saved there. so you can just log on to your google account and all contacts will be imported.
Ok, I forgot to include in the title for you to ignore this thread. I already knew your response would be worthless, condescending and ignorant.
along with your contacts, you can upload all your musi to google play so you can listen to it anywhere on any device. and you can save it to any phone you want at anytime.

Just because you didn't like the answer doesn't mean it's wrong.
If I did, I would not have started a thread asking how.

1. Go LINK
2. Click "download music manager"
3. Select the folder on your computer where you have all your music.
4. In a couple of hours you'll never ever EVER be without your most favorite 50,000 songs because any computer, tablet, phone or smartTV on the planet will be have access to your music.
5. BONUS - if you ever have more music to add, just drop it in the folder or import it via web browser.
Next problem?

Hang on. I just unwrapped the phone. Seller must have driven to the post office the second I paid.
Do I put the sim in first?
Posted on 7/17/17 at 12:54 pm to AlxTgr
sim can go in later; your phone has 2 uses:
(1) fancy wifi device
(2) cellular device
you only the sim for #2 but either way it won't affect setup.
which phone did you get? i missed it in the other thread.

im still rocking my pixel but i an ggetting ready to get something new once the new phones come out. no clue what is the latest and greatest.

So music, contact(the correct ones) and most pics basically took care of themselves like I suppose you guys said, but I had no way of knowing that would happen. Again, I came from Windows on last phone to my first Android.
Not tried texts yet-is that possible?
I had a custom sound on my old phone for texts. Anyone know offhand how to add that to the choices for text sound? What's better messages or message+?

all your pics should be there except you might have some device folders not syncing to photos. go into 'photos' and click the little 'burger' in the upper left corner and select 'device folders' and make sure all the ones you want to keep do NOT have the little cloud with a line through it which means they aren't getting synced to your online google photos.
just click the little cloud icon on each and that will start the sync process.

i'll cut you some slack for that. didn't realize you were relatively new to android.

not really. when google had messages and hangouts integrated awhile back you had more options but that's something i don't typically worry about.
you may want to scan through them & make sure there are no photos or pieces of info in there you don't want to lose.
also, learn to love GOOGLE KEEP. its a great way to keep track of all the crap you need to jot down or reminders and it will also come back on your new phone because its all in the cloud as well.
between photos, music, contacts and cloud, 99% of stuff i don't want to lose is taken care of.
texts as you noted is the one thing that doesn't make the jump.
as for sounds, you can email that to yourself or save it to gdrive and then download it on your new phone if its something you might not be able to find again.
i used something in the past called zedge i think which had shittons of sounds & stuff.
these days i'm a lame old man and use whatever vanilla sounds google deems me worthy of in the OS.
eta if you don't have to sell it, keep your old phone handy in case there's something you forgot. pop the sim out and it works great as a little WiFi PDA for around the house.

I'm going to try and respond without sounding too condescending.
What music app do you use regularly? I'd suggest google play music.
I'm not sure why you would want less contact but you can always clean your contacts up in gmail on a computer. All changes you make will be pushed to your phone. And if you are receiving duplicate notifications thats a pretty easy fix as well.
Zero idea why you wouldn't want to do it through the cloud.
If your new phone has the same sim as the old phone it will probably ask you during setup if you want to copy over everything from your old phone.
Moving your info from one phone to the next is really the easiest thing ever on Android.

With contacts, the last time I did this, I ended up with a list that included every person I've ever emailed. My only easy fix for that was an app that would only list contacts with a phone number. So, I need help with that. Having the stock app plus the other resulted in multiple notifications.

Do I have to download my apps one by one?

it *should* remember what you had installed on your previous phone and start re-downloading them like crazy.
i kind-of like it when it doesn't happen because i end up with alot of shite apps over time that i dont necessarily want on my new phone right away.
Posted on 7/17/17 at 3:48 pm to CAD703X
Yeah, I've deleted a bunch. Probably best to just go grab what i really use.

New issue. This moto is a slightly larger phone, but I can fit fewer apps on each page than my Nexus. Is that just a difference between manufacturers?
Posted on 7/17/17 at 9:43 pm to AlxTgr
Maybe. Try going to to display under settings and see if display size is set to medium. If so you can set it to small and the icons will be smaller so you can fit more.
