Transfer Wifi settings

Andrej123 — Wed, 18 Oct 2017 17:06:31 GMT

Hey everyone,

I'm not able to transfer my saved wifi connections from my old xperia to the XZ1, which previously always worked.

Has anyone a clue?

Have you synced them with Google?

Have you tried Xperia Transfer Mobile?

Yes that's what I always do. But I can transfer everything but not wifi. When I save it on my old phone there is the wifi option, later on the new one not.

Do you know how to restore it with Google, I mean there isn't a wifi option in the google sync options...

The easiest thing to do is to use Xperia Mobile Transfer, but which Xperia is your old device?

Yes I know but I have tried this 5 times and the wifi settings will not appear in the settings, maybe due to new settings in android 8?...

Do you still have your old device? which Xperia is it?

Yes, it is a Xperia X. There are all wifi settings.

On your Xperia X

Settings > Backup & reset > More > Manual backup so you can see that WiFi its selected > back > back

Back up my data > ON

Backup account make sure that it is the same Gmail account

Automatic restore On

Do the same on your new Xperia

Thanks a lot for your effort. I have found the problem but not the solution. With the XZ1 there is no wifi toggle in the transfer app anymore. So any way with google only?

If you check under your Gmail/Google account, are you syncing everything?

Yes and it works but there are things like Chrome or Google Fit.

Under settings →backup→ device settings it says waiting for backup (never ending)

I have the same problem. I want to transfer wifi networks from Z3 to XZ1 via Xperia transfer, with no success. Is it possible to help me? After factory reset oφ the phone, Xperia transfer was working?

having the same problem, upgrading from an XZ1 to XZ2.

With Transfer Mobile under Apps & Settings, WiFi networks, it is grayed out and says "No Data" even though there are hundreds of networks saved on the XZ1. Does XTM not transfer saved networks anymore under Oreo (8.0)? Unfortuantely, even though Google's own backup supposedly saved the networks, they never were restored from them either on the XZ2.

It is strange.. The only solution till now was the google backup. If this not working anymore, i am afraid that you have to put them again manually. Does anyone understands why the remove usefull features after every update or model?

I'm wondering in my case, with over 400+ (!) saved networks (I travel a fair amount ;)), if I've gone over some limit, either with the Android OS or Xperia Transfer. I know there used to be a ceiling of around 200 networks a few years ago with Android itself, like Lolipop or something.
