I never did get the Move to iOS to transfer my data. Consistently caused transfer interruptions.

Using the AT&T Mobile Transfer worked.


Took less than 5 minutes.


Spent several hours on the phone with AT&T, and Apple tech services. Trying to get Move To iOS to work, to no avail.


Happy to have a working iPhone!


Thanks,


Brian

Hi krinklepop,



We see that you're having some issues with moving your data over to your new iPhone. Congratulations on the iPhone! We can certainly want to ensure you have as much of the old data with you on the new device, and we'd like to help.


Please verify you have everything set up as described here: Move from Android to iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Additionally, the article states: "On your Android device, make sure that Wi-Fi is turned on."


When proceeding with the transfer data part of the process, we have a few suggestions. Avoid using either device until it finishes, and connect both to power. On the Android device the Move to iOS app should remain on the screen the whole time. If it happens to use another app, or receive a call (as examples), then it would cancel the process.


Also, on the Android device try first turning off any apps or settings that may affect the Wi-Fi connection, including any Wi-Fi/network optimizers. These could include apps/settings from your carrier, or third-party apps that were installed.


Then, try restarting both the Android device and the new iPhone, and start the process once again.


Take care!
