ASUS Data Transfer

The first pairing option is the automatic way, second option is to use the qr code, and finally there's "enter the WiFi details manually" which should have been the first option. All of them have a high chance of failing to pair. I eventually got it to pair and then the data transfer over WiFi fails at about 2% progress, still copying contacts and did not even get to the big files like pictures and video. None of you geniuses even thought of "copy via USB cable", that would have been easier.

They are lying when they say no data costs. For some inexplicable reason this app forces the new phone to be a WiFi hotspot meaning that it is forced to use data. I tried it anyway to see if it was somehow doing it without using data but I soon got a text from my provider telling me I was near my limit. I subsequently accidentally exceeded my limit and had to, so cheers Asus. Use one of the many other data transfer apps available.

Cannot find device. Doesn't matter if I use the QR code, or sign in manually. Moving from a Pixel XL to the new ROG phone. NFC Android transfer failed as well. Off to a bad start moving to ASUS branded phone. Especially with ROG label on it. EDIT in response to Asus: The Asus phone will not see any backups in Google Drive. It backs up just fine on the Pixel though.

It's almost perfect, really fast and preserves all metadata, unfortunately though it doesn't scan the SD card at all and that's where I had all od my pictures on the old phone, and the new phone doesn't have an SD card slot.

Worked great, no problem. All apps and most files. Do not scan external sd-card which I accept, if I customize saving folders I expect some extra with work.

This app should be installed on every new Asus phone. You have so many pre-installed apps that are much more useless and you don't include this one. I wouldn't use an app from unfamiliar vendor for backup/restore (not Asus or Google, I mean) and I didn't have the Google Drive backups enabled, so this app was exactly what I needed to migrate from my old Zenfone 5 to a new Zenfone 5. It wasn't as smooth (several disconnects and no "Retry" button, so I had to restart the process), very slow and (probably not Asus's fault here) 6 of 16 applications it tried to migrate didn't install on the target device (Skype, Teams, Translate, Acrobat Reader, WhatsApp).

Sorry, previous v.s worked almost perfectly infra 2 identical ZF2; and between a ZF2 & a ZF3. Now between 2 identical ZF3 all v.s only recognize 1-3 apps, while there are hundreds apps installed, so this app became of very (if any) limited use, pity. Back to v2.048.097 (still with the same issue) cause that v. doesn't change my hotspot settings, contrary to this one. For daily exchanges (even of clipboard) I use Total Commander (even infra WPs and droids or PCs.) Any idea why? Thks, best.

Old phone just scans the QR code on the new phone, beeps and then nothing happens. The Wi-Fi also breaks off for one of the phones suddenly. Both are Asus devices.

Maybe this app only works for ASUS to ASUS. I tried to get some media files out of my old Asus into my new Huawei and the Huawei was listed as an "old device" with no way of changing like it was available for selection on the Asus phone. I can't use it. If this is a bug, here, I pointed it out. If I were to transfer anything out of the Huawei to the Asus, no problem there. For me, this app is unusable.

Worked perfectly going from a Pixel 5 to a ZenFone 8. Super fast, super simple, and everything on the old phone made it to the new one. Also the app UI looks nice.

Wow.. fantastic experience..no hassles..easy to follow for even a simple shrink like me...very fast and navigation exceptionally user friendly.. kudos to the team

Followed the instructions. It would not connect using barcode scanner but it did connect manually. Transferred everything from old phone to new one.

Zonfon max. Pro plus and zenfon 5 z , can't paring, after try many times with bar code using. I've updated asus data transfer apps ,then can't run as it's no displayed to toutch. So, already setup as new phone, then how to copy data ?

User cannot send data from old phone's SD card, it should have better interface explorer to select internal data AND external SD data from old Phone. Needs improvement.

installed it in asus zenfone max pro m2 so I can transfer my files from my old zenfone laser 2. works fine with laser 2, however with m2 it automatically chooses as old device. like when you open the app and tapped get started you don't get to choose if it's an old device or new. It's already in old device mode and kow I can't transfer my files.

This app is garbage it won't let me select my note 10+ unless as the new phone it automatically marks it as the old phone and won't let change it but let's me choose for the Asus so it basically its useless unless I wanted to transfer to a new Asus makes me regret buying an Asus to begin with! And the Asus isn't compatible with smart switch!

Aska for all the permissions (even if you're not going to need them) them just shows "unable to pair devices" even though the WiFi connection has been actually established.

The app disconnected multiple times. Maybe warn me that I will end up with duplicates for each attempt. I now have 4 copies of every contact, call log, and text message.

Didn't restore wifi passwords, I'm thinking about a factory reset. Really helpful if you skipped Drive on setup and just want apps and contacts without factory reset.

From Sony xz1 to zenfone 8. No simcard in asus, data transfer via WiFi, no issues, about 2 GB transferred in 2 minutes.

Doesn't work, really frustrating. My old phone connects to the hot-spot and then it says "device pairing failed". Totally useless.

I purchased Zenfone Max Pro M1 6GB and updated it to latest softwares. Now I'm not able to find this app anywhere in mobile and it is not even compatible with my mobile now. How am I suppose to transfer my data to this phone ? I'm not able to find anyway to use this app in my Asus mobile

It was very handy for data transfer between phones, thank you very much. But can this app be used for transferring data between my new phone and PC? #ASUS6z

It's not working. I am trying to transfer my data from previous phone since a month. It doesn't even connect forget transfer. Useless

I tried to use this app to move from my old Huawei Mate 10 Pro to ROG Phone 3 but as soon as I connect the two they get disconnected immediately. Any fix for this? Will update this review if this gets fixed.

To everyone saying it doesn't work.. read the description. It only works to bring your data to your new "Zenphone" pay attention. It worked perfectly fine.

It doesn't work on my new device. It doesn't opt me to choose it as new or old device. The QR scan just doesn't work and it can't connect manually either. Both my old and new device are zenfone but it just doesn't work.

Not working, hotspot is said to be unstable on the new device and it duplicates your data at each failed attempt.

Absolutely useless...this app crashes half a dozen times and cannot transfer data beyond 2 GB.
