https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-S24/Please-Allow-SmartSwitch-to-Make-Full-Backups/m-p/3201656#M84971 <SPAN>Every single cell phone I've owned has been a Samsung. I've tried iOS once through an iPod Touch but if there's one thing that it does better than Samsung (and Android in general) is that backups are actually backups.</SPAN><DIV><SPAN>I've just upgraded from a Samsung Galaxy S20+ to a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra and it has been the most infuriating phone upgrade experience I've had. I did a device-to-device transfer via cable, and despite the Android OS documentation saying this should bypass app backup policies, I still lost data that SmartSwitch refused to transfer. I've even tried every non-root workaround I could find online and nothing worked. So please allow SmartSwitch to do full backups, like a backup utility should. If security is a concern, then maybe tie it to havinng the same Samsung account.</SPAN>&nbsp;This isn't really an acceptable experience from a backup tool, and it's really frustrating. What's stuck on my old phone may not be important, but it is extremely sentimental.</DIV> Thu, 17 Apr 2025 14:32:11 GMT sonic65101 2025-04-17T14:32:11Z
