Yes! I often forget about that. Also, using Smart Switch with the phone unlocked seemed to work faster for me.
I found that turning off Bluetooth helped reduce annoying distractions and improved the speed of my transfer. You might want to give it a try!
Smart idea! It’s also worth noting that background apps can sometimes slow the process. Closing those helps.

An hour or so sounds reasonable, but what if it exceeds that? Anyone had the transfer take a few hours? What’s the longest wait you experienced?

Oh boy, I once had a 3-hour transfer that seemed never-ending! Turns out, I was trying to transfer a ton of photos and videos all at once.
It’s crucial to be patient during these transfers! I’ve heard complaints about speed, but a good transfer takes time. You can’t rush it.
For sure! Just remember, as the old saying goes, ‘Good things come to those who wait,’ right? Or at least I hope so!
I recently used Smart Switch to transfer data from my old Galaxy to a new Galaxy. It took about 30 minutes. I expected it to take longer, but the process was surprisingly efficient!
That sounds great! I heard it can take up to an hour! Did you transfer everything at once or just specific files?

I found that transferring too much at once can slow things down. Dividing my files into smaller batches helped me cut down on the time significantly!
I had a weird experience where Smart Switch took over an hour, and the Wi-Fi was perfectly stable! Maybe it was the apps, who knows?
Great tip! I’ll remember to do that. Any specific file types you recommend separating?
I always separate photos and videos because they tend to take longer. It speeds up the transfer for other files too!
I had a smooth transfer with Smart Switch, but it did take about 45 minutes. I turned off other devices on my Wi-Fi to help speed it up.

That’s a smart idea! I usually forget to disconnect devices and then wonder why it takes ages. Live and learn!

Absolutely! Any other tips you guys have found useful for a smooth transfer?
I’ve heard that having both devices fully charged helps. Nobody wants a mid-transfer shutdown!
Haha, yeah! I learned that the hard way! My phone just quit on me halfway through, and I had to start all over. So annoying!
Yikes! That’s rough! I guess we all have to be patient with tech sometimes.
