Hey everyone,
I bought the Lumia 920 today after owning the original Samsung Focus since day one. When I bought it at AT&T, the sales rep did not copy my old SIM card to my new one like I thought they usually did. Instead he said that WP8 now has full device backup, and that I could transfer EVERYTHING (game saves, texts, etc.) wirelessly. Here's the problem, however: doesn't my phone need to be backed up to SkyDrive first in order for this to work? It doesn't just wirelessly copy my old SIM to my new one, right? Because about a month ago, my Zune software stopped being able to read my Focus for whatever reason, so it hasn't been backed up in awhile. Normally it wouldn't be a huge deal, but I just got home from a two week vacation and have TONS of photos on my Focus that I obviously do not want to lose. I'm not really sure why Zune stopped working for my, but I didn't want to worry about it too much since I was switching to WP8 + Zune was transferring to Xbox Music, so I thought that had something to do with it.
Basically, I just need step by step help/instructions from transferring everything from my old device to my new one. Sorry, I know this is probably a really dumb question, but any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
