Hi,
just got the Samsung Galaxy S8+/plus

found it very awesome,
got some app crashed such as the gallery, however after a few boots the problem is gone.

But the main part is i want to transfer or migrate the WECHAT from my old phone.
My old phone is Huawei Mate 9.

I followed, migrate all the chat from the chat migrate setting. I have 70 chats. I have a few chats over 400MB and probably 2gb to 3 gb in total.

When i try to migrate via the same WIFI network, it said "Network Disconnected" and then stop the transfer.
Are there other ways i can transfer all chats? I could be able to transfer those less than 2mb, but not those big files.

Please help!!

This is the way I have tried for those for may be interested.

I have a windows 10 surface pro. I downloaded the wechat for Windows and backup the selected chat.
Back up on pc.
Once this is finished, I log off and connect the new phone by scanning the qr code. And then select "restore to phone."
This is the way I made it for myself

All via WiFi.

Sorry mate, doing it now and it is going smooth as butter.

I took sim out of old phone (6P), popped it into s8+, updated software, messed around with a couple of apps, then simply went into chat migration on old phone and set up the scan code ready to go.

Then I logged into wechat on s8+, verified new phone with the code, then simply scanned code. Boom. all migrated.

Cheers

EDIT: Actually - wait - there's no bloody chat in it - lol.
