How to trasfer files from Note 7/S7 edge to Pixel XL

[mav42]

Does anyone know how to transfer files (music/contacts etc) that are on the Note 7/S7 edge sd card to Pixel XL??

I don't know for sure but I think with the help of "Phone Transfer Software". Download and install this software on your PC and you can easily transfer files from Note 7/S7 edge to Pixel XL. It's worth a try

Put the SD card into your laptop/desktop or card reader > Connect Pixel XL to laptop/desktop via the supplied USB-C to USB-A cable > Drag or copy and paste music to whichever directory on the Pixel XL you want.

The contacts will sync from your Google account assuming that is where you store them. Failing that there is a step in the setup process to connect your old phone to the Pixel XL that will copy contacts and messages etc but I don't believe it copies music.

They have a cable in the box for this. Just plug it into the Note 7 and follow the on-screen instructions during initial setup. It was done in less than 15 minutes

sadly, due to my excitement upon receiving the device, I bypassed that part of the set up thinking I could do it later

Might be faster to just factory reset it and do it over lol

OP I did the same and am stuck right where you are. I didn't even have my note 7 with me when I picked this up and the store guy was so bent on getting the test call made I by passed that as well. I'm already right where I need to be minus my call logs and texts. Got my Apps, updates, finger prints, etc etc.. I dread resetting and starting over. If I find anything I'll post it back here.

use SMS backup and restore from the play store.

I'm sure this would be easy enough for texts but I can't believe there is no way to get back to that point at start up were you can copy texts and call logs without a hard reset.
