First Bus App on Android phones

sdduk

Hi Guys
I use the first bus app all the time but i have just changed my phone and transferred all the stuff on the old phone over to the new one.
My problem is it didn't transfer none of my favourite's over to the first bus app everything else has gone over fine.
Is there anyway i can get them across from my old phone? 

It will take a long time to put them back manually.
Any help would be much apricated.

Dig you log off the app on your old phone, then log in on your new phone?

Yes didn't work even Backed my old phone up on SD card and then put it in my new phone and restored but never worked.
The worst thing is I've had to put all my passwords back in all my apps on my new phone.

That's as it should be, stops your phone app's* access's* being cloned if someone were able to access your backup or "borrow" your phone for an hour.

* really not sure about apostrophes and s's here

A backup wouldn’t work as the data is pulled in from your account.

Thanks guys for trying to help me
I ended up sitting last night for about 2hrs putting all the stops back into the Bus app.
I would of thought you would be able to transfer your favourites from one bus app to another on a new Mobile phone.
Tried logging in on the bus website and both phones but nothing.
Going to have to keep this new phone for a while because i don't want to be sitting putting all them stop in again
Thanks again for your help.

When I changed phone, I just logged out of the app on the old phone and logged back in on the new. Everything came across.

Quite thought I'd replied to this already but hey ho:

To your point above - in some cases you can, my local Go-Ahead bus operator's app appears to (I say appears as I'm not signed in to it but my favourites followed me when I upgraded my handset).

As for the First app though - nope, the only bit that used to follow you from phone to phone back in the day was your ticket history but even that doesn't happen now.

As such, to save favourite stops I use this - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fatattitude.buscheckeruklite registration is a bit prickly, signing in can be too, but once in you're fine. It's not as colourful as First's app but it does the job, tracks multiple operator's buses too.
