My wife has a Pixel 7 Pro that recently broke (flashing screen. It is usable but annoying), but it had an active insurance plan on it. So, she got a replacement pixel 7 pro.
This is the first time in a long time that I got to do an Android migration. (I should mention that my phone is made by a fruit company). I was really excited to see the option to plug in a usb cable and do a transfer!
However, at the end of the transfer, I’m not really sure what the migration does? The message history and photos are moved across and she was logged onto her Google accounts, but really important details never got transferred ( like the image used for the wallpaper/lock screen, locations of the apps on the different home screens)
Is this expected behavior for a migration, or did something go wrong? If this is expected, is there a way to get that info off of the old phone and onto the new phone?
Migration isn’t as smooth as it should be. Generally it’s good at transferring Google accounts, messages and phone logs, reinstalling apps, etc. But it doesn’t automatically log you back in to everything, so there’s usually a period where you keep opening an app for the first time since the move and have to set some things up (although I heard that was changing?). No idea about the home screen layout, as I use Lawnchair, and most custom launchers have options to save and back up layouts. But it wouldn’t surprise me if it didn’t…
Thanks for the response. It’s good to know that I didn’t break the migration. I was able to restore the background/lock screen image and will work on the rest later. 😛
