moving contacts from old to new phone?
I'm finally getting a new phone in the next 2 weeks. Either iPhone or android (tbc this week)
I have a nexus 4 (4.4.4 kitkat). It has the google People app, which contains all my contacts. I can't see how to move these to a new phone. I'm clueless here (old) so simple instructions would be great. Also to move my photos as a single mass, rather than select individually and email them to myself. Is it easier to sync a nexus 4 with an android phone rather than an iPhone? I use gmail also, which I've heard can be a problem on iPhones to set up full functionality. thanks |

If you go Android to Android then as long as you log in with the same Google account you should be ok if you have sync set up. Not sure about iPhone but I seem to recall when I last had an iPhone I was ok as well.

thank you
I'm from the generation that saved everything to a SIM, then moved the SIM into the new phone - but of course iPhones have nano SIMs. By the time my phone dies, I'll have made a decision which new phone to get

Contacts - export from phone app
Then connect to PC via USB cable and copy exported file and photos Then reverse it when you get your new phne If you getting a new android you can copy phone longs and messages as well with SMS Backup and restore and phone backup and restore from play store |

If getting an iPhone simply login to your google account in the mail/calendar/contacts section of Settings and all your google contacts will be synced from the google server, much in the same way you log into your google account with an android phone when switching on for the first time.
