While I have not pulled the trigger on the 950XL yet, and I am coming from a 920, how/what was the best process for transferring data/apps/settings from the 920 to 950XL? I have never had to transfer phones since acquiring the 920 over 2years ago. Just wondered if there is a write up or How To. I had the 950 at ATT ready to purchase and backed out hoping the 950XL would come around or something else but have a big trip in late April that I want a better camera/phone for so should I continue to wait or pull the trigger on purchasing an unlocked 950XL?
Thanks for everyone's input!
tool6996,
First: Make sure you have the correct Sim Card. Your 920 is a Micro Sim CARD, the 950XL is a nano Sim Card.
Second: Back up your current phone (Back up your stuff - Windows Help).
If I remember correctly when you log-in to your MS account, your apps will update to your new phone (make sure you're on a WiFi connection), the rest of the important stuff will update when you transfer to the new Sim Card. I think we all experienced some hiccups, but all have survived
I do recommend that you acclimate yourself to the features you will rely upon for your trip (camera and video settings, download your regional maps, and update and use the apps you will need), well before you leave, so you can be well versed on any new obstacles, and be able to enjoy and take advantage of the news features that are unique to the 950/950XL. There is a learning curve coming from the 920 (especially in the camera department), and going to the 950XL...at least there has been (and still is) for me :^)
