Goodbye OnePlus, hello Samsung

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew No shaming from me sir. I too am a Samsung fan.

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab Nice! I am excited to get it. It is supposed to ship on Feb 7

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew Pictures, or it didn’t happen

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab LOL you have a good point there, so here ya go hahah! Oh and I guess I liked, Feb 6 is estimated to ship.

So the new phones arrived yesterday. I got them setup which was a breeze. I was actually impressed. The only thing that pissed me off about it was that after the transfer from the old phone to the new phone, is that all of the saved data from the games I play wasn’t transferred over. Some of them have cloud storage built into the game, but a couple of the games I play don’t have that and I was really far into the game. Well, that data did not copy over and wouldn’t. So I guess I am done playing those games, because I’m not starting over. So that was the only thing that didn’t work.

Otherwise the phone seems to be working great. It doesn’t have the rounded edges like the old one, which I actually like better. It isn’t quite as tall as the old one, but it seems like there is more screen area. It runs very smooth as well and fast. I haven’t gotten into the AI part of it yet, so once I start playing with that and seeing what it’s capabilities are and if it is actually helpful, I will let you know.

@Madchatthew Good summary. Pity about the game though. You’d have thought they would have copied over.

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab Yeah I agree. Then I went to go play it and all the progress is gone. Not sure why all of that data wouldn’t have transferred over. I told it to transfer all as well. So a little deceiving there, cause it actually doesn’t do all. I was quite disappointed.

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew what did you use to transfer?

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab I used the cable to connect the two phones and used smart switch to do the transfer

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew crazy it doesn’t work as it should. I see no real reason as to why it didn’t copy over unless the storage was perhaps encrypted?

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab that is possible but I never specifically told it to be encyrpted, but maybe through the apps themselves? I thought it was really weird that it didn’t copy the entirety of the apps over.

[phenomlab]

@Madchatthew it’s the only explanation I have aside from configuration.

[Madchatthew]

@phenomlab yeah and that makes sense. I wish I would have noticed it before i wiped the old phone and packaged it up to send back. Then I could have tried a different method for transferring the data. Oh well, ya live and ya learn I guess
