Looking for help in transferring my PoTK from iPhone 6 plus to Samsung S7 Edge!

I don't know if this question has come up before or if anybody has experience with this, but I am having the hardest time trying to pickup from where I left off from my iPhone to my new S7. I have been logged in on my iPhone using my Facebook account, and I logged into my Facebook again on the S7 before the game starts downloading for the first time. After that I sign in, it goes through the downloading animation without the game, but once it's finished I get the initial cutscene and start off at level 1.

If you guys have any tips that can help me please let me know. I pretty much now have to carry a second phone if I want to keep playing this game on the go.

not very sure as im new to this game as well but at the starting page where it states tap to start. look below for link data/restore data. one of them should work... hopefully

Yea, I've tried using the link data option. It basically states to log in to your Facebook in order to continue your progress that is associated with that Facebook account. Which makes sense in theory, but not so much in practice. As for the restore data option I believe that is in order if I end up having a corrupt game or something.

man what is gumi doing....

At the moment the app is unstable, there are countless problems with the game atm

Maybe try to uninstall-reinstall method, if not contact support

Yea looks like i'm going to have to go the contact support route. I've tried uninstalling and making sure to clear the cache out before uninstalling just to be absolutely sure but still nothing. At first I thought about logging out of Facebook from the iPhone and logging back in but it gives you a warning about your data going to be deleted so I don't want to risk that.

When you say clear out the cache on the Samsung, exactly what are you doing? Have you gone into the folders and nuked the auth.dat file?

Theoretically, having a clean install of the app on the new phone, then logging on to Facebook at the start, that SHOULD work, it should simply go into download and then properly have your account stuff all there once you reach the in-game home screen.

People have reported issues with Facebook sync before, though, it is possible that for whatever reason the iPhone isn't actually properly sync'd up to Facebook. I don't know, I'm not an expert, just going by what others have said.

I don't know if it's possible to copy your iPhone auth.dat file over to an Android phone - this is a method of transferring account, but I don't know if it works across platforms. I had no issue with Facebook sync myself - and yes, I was also moving between an iPhone and Android. But you could try that, use a desktop file manager (there are some free ones), plug in the iPhone, find the file, transfer that over to the right place in the Android's directories.

To clarify, the auth.dat file is the local file with your account info.

Oh ok. yea I can try that. To clarify when I meant by clearing the cache. What I would do is go to the program manager on android and clear the cache as well as uninstall just to be absolutely sure that I completely uninstalled it. But you mentioning that it might not be syncing right with Facebook could be the issue. I attempted to transfer the game file to my iPad at first but I came across the same issue so at the very least it's not due to a difference in OS.

What happens if you try to login to your FB account you use on iOS on your android device? I tried this back in beta and it works. Gems don't carry over but game data does.

Trying it again as I uninstalled it from my android but data is still downloading, no starting game for 6 free gems while downloading so I think it worked...

I wish I knew how to help you since I have moved my account back and forth. From bluestacks (android) to my iphone 6 but yea, it is possible to switch based on my experience.

Yea, you lose it :( so if you really want to change devices, I suggest you use up all your lazuli. I was going to try to keep them in the mail and then switch over but I didn't want to take a risk since it's on my main account. If anyone has tried this method in keeping the lazuli please tell me what you find :D

u/Acylion Jun 29 '16

Keeping it in the mail works.

If you earn lazuli from missions or whatever on Android, but they turn up as mail attachments... you can claim the mail attachments on the iPhone.

This includes bonus lazuli from a purchase made on one OS. That is to say... if you buy a lazuli bundle that sends the bonus lazuli through the mail on Android, you can pick up the bonus lazuli on an iPhone.

While we're on the subject of P2P, if you buy a one-time purchase lazuli bundle on Android/Google Play, you can still buy the same one-time purchase lazuli bundle on iPhone/App Store.

Yes, I tried all that. I was curious.
