azzido — Sun, 26 May 2013 10:15:09 GMT

Hello, I'd like to ask how can I backup all my notes from stock notepad in my Xperia S and then move it to Xperia Z? I tried with PC Companion (backup option) but didn't see option for Notepad backup

Seems noone can help, I assume it is impossible to move it from one phone to another.

The default app for notes can synchronize with Evernote so you could create an account on www.evernote.com and then go to Notes -> [menu] -> Settings -> Evernote account settings to synchronize your notes there.

If you have a USB-drive and USB-adapter you could also make a backup to the USB-drive using Backup&restore and then restore that backup in your Z.

Thank you, which files / folder should I copy from SD ard and then move it From Xperia S to Z?

You mean if you make a backup to the internal memory instead of a USB-drive using Backup&restore? In that case you need to copy the folder ".semc-fullbackup" to a computer and then move it to the root of the Z. If you're just going to transfer notes i think Evernote would be easier though.

Hi, I'm looking for help with similar problem. I wrote to Sony Mobile Service in Poland but they did not answer. I have copy made on My Xperia P wit Backup and Restore app. Now Xperia P is broken, but I have .semc fullbackup folder on my PC. I use now Xperia L. Is it really possible to transfer this data? It is very important for me to have all my contacts and sms back. If yes, how to do that? I would appreciate any help

Hi,

I have one untypical problem and I can't find the answer on this fourm.

I have copy made on My Xperia P with Backup and Restore app. Now Xperia P is broken, but I have .semc fullbackup folder on my PC. I use now Xperia L.

(I'm not talking about copy made with PC Companion, I don't have it)

Is it possible to transfer this data? It is very important for me to have all my contacts and SMS back.

If yes, how to do that?

I would appreciate any help

Hi,

Unfortunately, I don't think it's going to work since these phone may differ in the Android-versions. You are not able to extract the back up file or similar to get the data, but you can of course give it a try by moving this folder to your Xperia L and then try to restore it via the Back up & restore application.

Moving it to the folder on Xperia L didn't work. Would it work if they had the same version of the system? Or if I put it on other Xperia P? Or by rooting the system? Is there any chance? Thanks

To restore this backup you need another Xperia phone running the same Android version that you had in your Xperia P when you made the backup (Android 4.1 if it was updated with the latest software).
