Sony Xperia z3: Cant transfer messages, apps and so on

HeatoN — Fri, 19 Sep 2014 16:01:06 GMT

Hi!

I have transfered sucessfully all my content from iPhone 5 to my Xperia z3.

I used Sony Bridge for Mac doing that. It said, that in the end it would be a "pop up" on my phone giving me further instructions how to open the apps, messages on the phone - but It never came one.I can see that the content is over, because it now have 9GB less memory than before, but I have now Idea how I can come in contact with the content.

Ideas, anyone?

All the best,

HeatoN

Cant transfer SMS, calendar and bookmarks to my Xperia z3 compact from iPhone 5

Hi!

Just got my Xperia z3 compact today.

I have problems syncing my Messages (SMS), calendar and my bookmarks from my iPhone to it. Im using Sony Bridge on my Mac and everything works fine, but this message come up:

https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/1375x745q90/633/TGd1aD.jpg

Now it is in Swedish (maybe it goes without saying that I'm a swede but the text pretty much says this:

"All content you have chosen from your iPhone will be transfered, exept this:

Messages

Calendar

Bookmarks

More Information

Your Xperia smartphone havent changed.

Press continue to transfer all your chosen content, exept the ones named above"

I have transfered the data again anad again (and therefore, it says that my xperia havent changed). I can't no matter how much I try to klick on the "more information-link". Nothing happens when I klick on it.

Is anyone having any ideas?

Sorry for all the spelling misstakes in this post. I hope you can understand me!

All the best,

HeatoN

Do you have Z2 or Z3 or Z3 compact? Why have you started so many threads?

You can try the AT&T Mobile Transfer app. It is able to transfer contacts, pictures, and messages over. If your phones are compatible. You would have the app on both phones and would start trafer via peertopeer.

Regarding paid apps, you are able to contact ever developer and tell them you are switching over from Apple to Android, and they will able to download the app with no charge. Just by letting them know your Apple ID number.

please do not use Sony Bridge for Mac - instead install the transfer app on your Sony Z3, use an USB-on-the-Go Cable and connect your iPhone directly to your Z3: You will be able to transfer SMS, contacts, bookmarks, even the apps on your iPhone will be scanned and if found in the Google Play Store corresponding apps will be installed on your Z3

I've done exactly the same... It says all my content has been copied over and matched the apps, however none of them have copied and my iphone messages notes and voice recordings etc aren't showing on my sony! Is there a way to get around this?! I could really do with my content and it would be nice to get some of my iphone apps over onto it too...

I have this exakt problen (im also a Swede) My pictures and contacts works fine, but none of my 30.000+ old messages gets transfered. I have tried Bride on Mac, PC companion on Windows and also with a cable direct from iPhone to Z3. I dont know what more to do

Hi lagus!

Sorry to here about your problem.

First try to update to the latest version of BFM,

if you are running your mac computer on Yosemite you have to

uninstall BFM and then install a new version from a .dmg-file.

If it doesn’t work please provide me with more information and I will try to help you.

I need to know:

Bridge for mac version:

Android version:

If you give me that information I can talk with the development crew.

Best regards

Fredrik

I run Yosemite and downloaded BFM directly from the webpage. Its verision 3.8.3. I also tried PC Companion on Windows 7 and directly with cable from iPhone (5s with iOS 8.1) to my Z3 Compact with Android 4.4.4. I can transfer everything but my messages. In BFM it says that i have 500+ messages but when i connect with cable and Xperia Transfer Mobile it says i have 30.000+ messages witch seems more likely. I have swiched off iMessage from the iPhone and my iPad

Hi lagus!

I have been in contact with the development crew now.

I assume you have space on your phone because it's new.

Have you tried with PCC or XTM?

If you are not able to try PCC or XTM can you please send me your error logs.

Here’s how to get error logs from Sony Bridge for Mac:

1. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the "Phone" menu. Select "Clear logs" to remove all old logs and get a clean start
2. Reproduce the problem you're having, whether it's connecting the phone, importing photos, doing backup...
3. In BfM, hold the "alt" key down while selecting the ”Xperia” menu. Select "Export logs"
4. On the computers desktop there should now be a file named "SonyBridgeForMacLogs_[date].zip
5. PM that file to me.

Sorry for all your trouble with BFM

Best regards

Fredrik

Hello

If you read my former answer again you see that i tried PCC and XTM without luck. I will try BFM again and get a log for you.

Re: Sony Xperia z3: Cant transfer messages, apps and so on

lagus — Fri, 28 Nov 2014 10:22:47 GMT

This time BFM (3.8.4) said it successfully transfered all the messages, but BFM just deleted all my messages i got on the Z3 so far (4 weeks). And as i said before BFM tells me i have 500+ messages on the iPhone, but in XTM tells me i have 33.000+ messages. And XTM should be right because i have saved all my messages since 2008. How do i send you the log?

Hi lagus!

You can copy it to this thread.

Then I will forward it to the development crew.
