Drove myself a bit nuts with this :(

Going from Huawei to a.n.other phone. The Huawei app did a superb job when moving from a.n.other previous phone to the Huawei, but it doesn't work going from Huawei to a.n.other. I tried about 4 other apps from the app store, none of which worked properly.

Google account transfers some stuff, but it's the other stuff that needs to transfer, like ringtones, phone settings, music, etc. 

I've finished it off manually now, but any suggestions for future?

I have a dodgy "i" key, so ignore spelling errors due to "i" issues, ...I blame Apple :D

    I think my main ringtone was an MP 3/4(?) file so I just moved that using USB on my PC
    I used SMS backup and restore which also moved my call history.

    What else?

    ringtone settings, notification settings, bits like that... the huawei app does all this stuff when moving TO a huawei phone, but frustratingly not off one :)

    You would have to admit that its not really in their best interest to help you transfer from their phone to ANOther but it is to help transfer from ANOther to a Huawei phone. Just saying  ;)

    lol, I know..... but of the 4-5 "independent" ones I tried, they either didn't work at all or only did bit6s that google account does/
