How to copy content directly from your old Android phone to your new Android phone
Congratulations on your new phone!
Verizon Cloud's content transfer feature makes moving to your new phone super-simple by transferring all your important content - like contacts, photos, and videos, and more in a few easy steps.
First, go to Google Play and update or install the latest version of the Verizon Cloud app on both phones.
Next, open the Verizon Cloud app, select "Get Started," and then "Start Transfer" on both of your phones.
Or, if you're already registered for Verizon Cloud, when you open the app on your old phone, you'll tap the "Menu" icon in the top left corner. Then select "Tools" and then "Content Transfer."
On your old phone select "Copy content FROM this phone" and on your new phone select "Copy content TO this phone."
Now, select the type of phone you're transferring to.
If both of your phones are running Android 4.0 or higher, they will automatically connect through Wi-Fi Direct If not, you'll be prompted to select the same Wi-Fi Network on your old and new device.
Once connected, a scanner will open on your new phone - use it to capture the QR Code on your old phone.
Once your phones are paired, select the content you wish to transfer.
While your content transfers, you can check the progress on either phone. Remember to keep these screens open to ensure a smooth transfer.
When your transfer is complete, select "Done" on your old phone.
Now that your important content is on your new phone, keep it all safe by backing up to Verizon Cloud - you'll then have access to your contacts, photos, videos and more across your Cloud devices and have the peace of mind knowing your memories are protected. Simply select "Launch Verizon Cloud" and follow the on-screen prompts.
It's now time for you to create new memories with your phone! Thank you for choosing Verizon Wireless!
