How to transfer all data from Xiaomi to Samsung via WiFi or wire

Blog RumikomInstructionsTransferring data to a new smartphone using Mi Mover

After purchasing a new smartphone, it is often necessary to transfer data from the old device to the new one. Xiaomi's proprietary app, Mi Mover, can help you with this.

You can only use this program on smartphones running the Android operating system. You can transfer information from a phone of any manufacturer, but only to a Xiaomi smartphone .

The first thing you need to do is install the Mi Mover app on both devices. On Xiaomi smartphones, this application is pre-installed initially, although in the latest firmware versions it is hidden in the settings, and you can find it in the following path: “Settings” - “Advanced settings” - “Mi Mover”.

After launching the application, a window will appear in which you need to select “Recipient” and “Sender”. The “recipient” in our case is the new device to which we plan to import data from the old smartphone. “Sender” is the smartphone from which you want to export data.

After selecting the transmitting and receiving devices, a barcode will appear on the new smartphone, which must be scanned on the old phone to pair the smartphones with each other.

After establishing a Wi-Fi connection, a list will appear in which you can mark what exactly needs to be transferred. Available options include applications, call log, SMS messages and phone book.

The duration of the data transfer process depends on the amount of information transferred and can take from one to several tens of minutes.

The disadvantage of transferring applications is that only the programs themselves are transferred, and not their data and cache. That is, all applications will have to be configured again.

As you can see, the process of transferring data from an old smartphone to a new one is very simple and will not take much time. Let us know in the comments whether the information presented in this manual was useful to you.

Transfer data to new Xiaomi

There are several simple and clear ways to exchange data between two Xiaomi smartphones:

• Bluetooth module;
• Mi Drop app;
• Mi Mover option;
• cloud storage Mi Cloud.

IMPORTANT! Any of the transfer options is available for use on smartphones with any shell version - MIUI 8, MIUI 9, MIUI 10

.

Best Practices for Transferring Information

Since the replacement of smartphones among users is a frequent occurrence, a lot of ways to transfer information have appeared, conditionally divided into three categories:

1. Standard tools.
2. Third party services.
3. Manual transfer.

The first category includes built-in tools implemented by the operating system or user interface developer. For example, the services of the owner of the Android OS, Google, are pre-installed on all devices that have passed certification. Or large companies developing their own shell. For example, Xiaomi with the Mi Cloud service pre-installed in MIUI firmware.

Third-party services include mobile and desktop programs created by Android device manufacturers, private companies or application developers.

The manual method involves data transfer with in-depth user participation . Using tools not included in the first two categories.

Important! The methods in each category are focused on transferring a specific type of data. And the preferred method is influenced by ease of interaction, type, quantity and volume of information transferred.

Bluetooth is a tool for the inexperienced user

This method is suitable for an inexperienced user, since there is no need to use additional applications to transfer data. To transfer data, just enable the function on both gadgets, select the required data on one of them and click “Send”. In the list that appears, select the desired method - “Bluetooth”. On the second device you will need to confirm receipt. After this, the files will begin to be sent.

IMPORTANT! This method may take a long time. If it does not suit you, we recommend that you take a closer look at the following methods.

Mi Drop - complete data transfer from Xiaomi to Xiaomi

You can also transfer data yourself using the Mi Drop application, which is installed on your smartphone. To do this you need:

• On the gadget where the data will be transferred, select “Mi Drop” and click “Accept”. Most often, the icon can be found in one of the working windows.

• On the second gadget, also enable “Mi Drop” and select “Send”.

• From the desired folder, select the files to transfer and click “Send” again.
• The added device will appear in a new window - you need to click on it. If you haven’t added the device yourself, scan the generated QR code, which will appear on the gadget to receive data.

• In the first phone, confirm the reception of data and wait for it to finish.

IMPORTANT! Before you begin, turn on Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, do not turn them off until the transfer is complete. Sending and receiving data this way is much faster than via Bluetooth.

Using Applications

Once upon a time, it was possible to transfer information from one gadget to another using Bluetooth. But Xiaomi manufacturers apparently considered this function unnecessary, so newer models do not have this ability to transfer between devices.

You can transfer names and numbers from one smartphone to another using a special application. An example is the Xperia Transfer Mobile program.

It was developed by the manufacturers of Sony Xperia and is compatible with all operating systems: iOS, Android and Windows Phone. Therefore, this program allows you to import data into any smartphone model, be it an iPhone or a Samsung. The application works via cable or Wi-Fi.

In addition to the phone book, using this program you can transfer photos, video and audio files, as well as any other long information.

Mi Mover is a free and convenient tool

Even a beginner can transfer data from Xiaomi to Xiaomi using this method - it is very simple. To do this, follow the step-by-step instructions:

• Download the Mi Mover application from the Play Market on both smartphones if it is not already installed.

• On the phone from which files will be transferred, go to the Mi Mover application and click the “Send” icon.

• On your second phone, go to the app and tap "Receive" or "I'm the recipient" and a QR code will appear.

• Read it from the first smartphone, after which a window with a choice of files will become available to you.
• Check the ones you need and select “Submit”.

After the transfer is completed, a message indicating the successful completion of the process will appear on both gadgets.

Applying a QR code

This method of transferring contacts is one of the most difficult, since it requires a special QR code and an application to read it in the device. This code must be scanned by the Xiaomi smartphone, whereby the contacts will appear in it.

To transfer data using this method, you must:

• Install an application on the old and new gadget, for example, QR Droid Code Scanner on Google Play. It only works on Android devices.
• Next, you need to go to the “Import/Export” section, click “Send”, then “Send contact as”. As a result, the data is encrypted into the desired QR code by default.
• This code must be considered a Xiaomi phone. The information is immediately duplicated in the phone book.

Mi Cloud is an effective and functional tool

If you use Mi Cloud, which stores the data you need, you can also transfer it to another smartphone. To do this, you should follow the algorithm:

• Select “System applications” - “Mi Cloud” in the “Settings” section.
• If necessary, enter the login and password for your Mi account in the fields.
• Select the “Backup” tab - “Create now”.

• On the second gadget, log in to the same account on which the backup was previously made.
• Then select "Data Recovery" and "Recover".

All data from the backup will be successfully restored.

IMPORTANT! For smooth data transfer, gadgets must be connected to a reliable Wi-Fi network. The Internet connection must be good, and you need to check the free internal memory on your smartphone.

How to transfer data from installed applications

As you can see, none of the previous methods allows you to transfer applications while preserving their internal data. This refers to specific settings, progress in games, and the like. A way to avoid losing this data is synchronization via Google account. Almost every program and game communicates through it. You just have to find it in the settings and activate it.

To save your data in the application, you need to:

1. Log in to the same Google account that was used on the previous device.
2. Download the required application.
3. If, upon first login, the program itself does not offer to synchronize user data, then you should do it yourself through the settings.

A Google account is universal, but not all people remember its password. It is also not always possible to restore it, and it becomes easier to create a new profile.

To avoid this, users of the social network Facebook will benefit from the option of synchronizing through it. It is also activated through the settings, as is the case with a Google account. You can create a fresh profile if you don’t have one, and link the apps you need before switching to a new smartphone. But this is most often only suitable for games.
