Undoubtedly MobileTrans is a useful app when it comes to directly transferring data from one mobile device to another. In contrast, the secure wipe feature of MobileTrans will make sure your data is deleted once and for all. Note: According to the recent research, the default wipe feature of Android never wipes the data completely from the device, so information like emails, login credentials, and secure notes can be easily recovered by hackers. But this one shreds the data securely so that it can never be retrieved. It might take as much as an hour for the tool to completely erase your phone, which is quite a lot when compared to the default wipe feature of Android. The module erases all the data and also does a deep search to delete any traces of data that might put your identity at risk. Secure Wipe Your Old PhoneĪfter you have transferred your data from the old phone to the new one, if you would like to securely erase it, MobileTrans can help you with that as well. A pretty neat feature if you don’t have the old phone handy. You just need to select the data you would like to restore and click Start Copy. The app will look for the default location when the backup files are saved by the official apps and load them directly. If you have previous backups from apps like iTunes, Wondershare, or Samsung Kies, you can use those backup files to write your data to the new device. MobileTrans Can Restore from Existing Backupsĭata transfer between Android devices was a breeze and you can literally clone your phone, but again messages can take a few hours. It took around 3 hours to transfer just 1000 messages from an iOS device to Android and that’s a lot of time for data not more than a few MBs. While contacts and other information like call logs, calendar entry, and even the images didn’t take much time to transfer, messages took a considerable amount of time. This can be used if you don’t want any redundant data on the new phone. You can also select to erase the phone first before the transfer is initiated. After both phones are plugged in and you select direct transfer, the app will read the data on the old phone and give you the list of the data that’s compatible for the new phone.įor example, when you are transferring data from iPhone to Android, the Apps field will be grayed out, as this type of transfer is not possible. Transferring Contacts Using MobileTransĪfter you launch the app, you can either select a direct phone-to-phone transfer or use the backup that has been created using the official tools for each platform. Clearly, this part of the tool needs an update big time. When compared to Microsoft, I am sure hardly anyone uses Symbian OS these days. Microsoft Lumia is not invited to the party at the moment and I am quite surprised to see Symbian instead. Here’s a table depicting what you can transfer depending on the smartphone OS. The app can transfer data between Android, iOS, BlackBerry, and Symbian. After that, you’ll have to purchase paid versions that cost between $19.95 to $39.95 to acquire all the features of the app. The free trial version is good enough to transfer just 5 contacts from one device to another. MobileTrans can be downloaded for free from the Wondershare home page. Let’s see how the product works and what you must know about it before you go ahead and use it. Using the MobileTrans tool, you can connect both phones to a computer and click the button called Copy to get all the data to the new phone without any hassle. When I mentioned single click, I really meant it. If you are looking for a one-click solution to transfer the data from an old phone to a new one, MobileTrans, a simple app from the house of Wondershare, can help. And if you are switching platforms, like iOS to Android, the complications increase fourfold.Īlthough there are a number of ways to transfer data from the old phone to new, these aren’t straightforward for the average, non tech-savvy user. If you save your contacts on an online account, it’s easy to sync across devices, but beyond that, you have to figure out a way on your own to get these transfers done. Can’t blame them, such a drudgery that task is. I have seen folks carrying both – the old and the new phone for a few weeks after the switch because they have messages, notes, images, and a lot of other important files they might need, and they mean to do the transfer ‘soon’.
