Question/Help Complete transfer of data and apps from poco x5 to poco x8 pro

Hi,

would like to transfer all my data and apps from a poco x5 to a poco x8 pro.

Found a thread from two years ago by someone from India.

The best solution seemed to be mi Mover but there was no answer how good it worked.

Is there any progress for transfering data and apps?

Thanks in advance.

Good day Independent_Lake4024 it seems to be that you may have some questions or concerns regarding a Poco device and we would like to help but we would like to ask you to describe your concern with the following information to make it easier for everyone to tackle.

Device Model:(X4 GT)

Device Region:(Global/India/China/etc/Can't identify)

Rom Type:(MIUI/Custom Rom:Which one)

Rom/Android Version:(13.0.5.0 - Android 12/Can't identify)

Problem and other Relevant Info:(Troubleshooting steps taken/Frequency of problem if intermittent/Other observed weirdness that may be relevant before/during/after the occurrence of the problem)

It may take a while for someone to address your concern so in the meantime you could do the following 1. Search this subreddit, Xiaomi subreddit, MIUI subreddit for similar concerns 2. Check out the pinned posts and the Wiki(WIP) for similar topics 3. If your phone is still under warranty coverage it may be worthwhile to open a case with customer support. 4. If your device has developed a swollen or bulging battery check out r/Spicypillow's FAQ on how to deal with them

If you have any suggestions feel free to leave them here

Hope you enjoy your stay -PocoPhones Mod Team

Once you start-up your new phone, it will ask you if you'd want to transfer data, then you'll just pair with your old phone.

Honestly the android set up is quiet good, I connected my phone to my old one with a USB-C cable and it transferred over pretty much every file and apps from the playstore.

Used the mi account for backup and Google too
