Tim in Greenville, South Carolina called in with a tip to help other listeners
Tim said: “I just wanted to remind your listeners that whenever you’re changing a cell phone, like you’re getting a new cell phone, if you have your old cell phone and you want to just easily transfer everything over. I don’t know how it works with Apple, but with Android, if you go from Android to Android, you could just put the charger, put a C to C charger if you have a C, a usb-C on both phones, take a C charger and plug it in as you’re setting up the new phone, and it’ll automatically transfer everything. you’ll still have to sign into your Google account. I think, but that’s easy enough. And then that’ll transfer even more stuff. And it’ll be very, very simple with a very simple process. But just remember on your old phone, remember to sign out of all your Google stuff before you do a factory data reset. So that way Google doesn’t still look for that device on your accounts list. Even though it’s factory reset, it would still look for it unless you actually sign out of your Google. But make sure that you sign in on your new phone before you sign out on your old phone. Anyway. Great show. Thanks.”
