Quick Start stuck on "Looking for nearby devices" and not advancing

Okay, so currently the transfer is in progress. Touch wood and fingers crossed.

In case this might help someone else, here's the details of what got me this far....

Back track to when I first turned the phone on, it immediately wanted to do iPhone updates. Did those as required. Then went down the Quick Start option and in enter the problems. After exhausting everyting I could come up with to attempt to fix the issue, I ended up resorting to a restart and restore factory settings. This seemed to change things up. New updates were not required to be installed and the Quick Start process has been similar but different, and the device did not get stuck on the "looking for nearby devices".

Here's hoping all goes smoothly from here.

Thanks, but that seems to be more of an alternative than correcting the actual issue. The process should work seemlessly without needing alternatives. Hopefully the information I have provided will help get a fix.
