    We have upgraded to a HONOR X7a 128GB  at £139.99 from Argos
    my wife doesn't trust Motorola after this problem




    Blaming Motorola for a 7 year old model's performance doesn't sound convincing

    OK next question
    Transferring all of the data (contacts, photos, emails, documents etc) across - when theres no linked google account - how is this done ?
    Does the SIM  hold any data ?
    I need to reduce the SIM size - so once done, theres no going back.....

    If I was half as smart as I think I am - I'd be twice as smart as I REALLY am.

    create a google account on old phone. it should sync data contacts

    Sign in on new phone all contacts should come across

    Have done it and everything has gone across - but in different places than before
    missing contacts short cut
    Wife can't cope with this......

    'contacts' are in app drawer,

     Drag up to home page for shortcut or just open 'Dialler App'

    She'll get used to the new phone. I just changed from Moto to Pixel and it took a while for me to get everything the way I like it. After a couple of weeks it's fine.
    Tall, dark & handsome. Well two out of three ain't bad.

    She won't 
    She's told me to keep it myself 
    What she needs is a simple android 12 phone without all of the bells and whistles
    She is a technophobe
