Broke my phone, got an identical one, can't figure out how to seamlessly transfer everything
Hi everyone. This is very frustrating. I broke the screen on my Lumia 925. Bought a replacement and have them both here. I did all the backups on my old device, and when the new one was set up, I restored it to those backups. Settings and apps transferred fine. Nothing else did.
Then I fired up the Transfer My Data app. It could only transfer contacts. So now I have texts and photos/videos that are stuck on my old phone.
Certainly there's a way to get all this stuff moved over at once. I don't have the patience to plug my phone in to my computer to do a manual transfer. I shouldn't have to in 2015. Also, that wouldn't help my texts problem. Texting backup is on.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
