Data Transfer Tool

I assumed it had worked. Apparently it only gave an illusion. Though it copied some data, it was half baked. The files copied were limited to 10; if you had more it copies the first 10 only. It is not right to inform the copying is done. I need to check whether my Nexus 5 still has the files; it has been 7 months since I did the transfer to Pixel 3, I just did not notice. Reminds me not to trust Google!

The last time I switched phones o decided I would opt to use the data transfer tool. Unfortunately it has seemed to cause other problems with notifications in applications as well as issues with continued conversation settings on my Google Home Max. I have had to uninstall numerous apps to get some settings working. I won't be using this to transfer apps again. Maybe pictures after the new phone is setup.

Works like a champ on my Pixel 2XL. Not sure why others are having problems. However I wish Google was able to accomplish the same thing this the cloud vs needing a cable and 2 devices. If I need to factory reset my device I should be able to automatically restore the entire device from the cloud instead of needing to find some old device somewhere to act as an intermediary.
