An android device always has about 1 or 2G RAM to run app , and 8 or 16G ROM to store data. When transferring or restoring data which is more than 1 or 2G to an android device, it may not have enough space to save the data. You can follow the steps below to fix it.

  • Choose the source data or the backup file which is not bigger than 1G to transfer.
  • Save the transferred data in the ROM or SD card.
  • Transfer the left data till all the data has been transferred.

Visit Here.

To find the transfered videos, you can go to Videos > Movies folder of the device to find them, or you can check your Apple TV app. Previously the videos may have been in the Photos folder.

It only clears the selected data on the destination phone. For example, if you select Contacts to copy and then select the Clear data before copy option, Contacts on the destination phone will be cleared before copy.

Note:The option will not clear the contents of the source phone.

Sometimes, after you finished the messages transferring job for your iOS devices, you just can not find the transferred messages in your target device.

1. Please keep your device unlocked during the transferring, it may ask you to enter the iTunes backup passcode.

2. Launch your device, go to Settings > Messages > Messages History, make sure you have chose "Forever", otherwise your transferred messages will be deleted automatically by your iOS device.

3. After transferred massive messages, your target iOS device will automatically reboot. And you may found:

a. The message app doesn't show transferred messages, and back to normal after a while.

b. The message app shows blank interface and keeps blank even if you reboot the device once again.

The two situations above are all normal because your iOS devices need time to deal with the massive messages in background. Your transferred messages will finally show up, please wait patiently. For example, iPhone XS Max with 4000+ conversations (25000+ messages) needs 30 seconds - 2 minutes.

4. Part of my messages didn't show up after transfer.

On iOS 12+ devices, the message app will only show 1000 latest conversations. Other conversations will not show in your message app, however, when you enter the contact number and begin to type messages, the old conversations with this contact will show up.

If still failed to transfer your messages, please contact our support team: support@panfone.com

The free version supports transferring/backing up/restoring five items of each category, paid version supports transferring all data.

Please go to the PanFone Data Transfer Backup folder, open the backupinfo.xml and check whether there are only 5 items in your backup. If yes, then it means you have used the trial version to backup your device. (See difference between trial and paid version in last FAQ.

Since iTunes has bugs regarding overwrite installation, please make sure you have uninstalled the old iTunes completely (remove all the 6 iTunes related services), then download and install the latest iTunes on your computer.

Follow iOS detection issue FAQ here.

It currently doesn't support this feature but you can look forward the further update. In fact, all the iPhone data transfer programs in the market are not able to access data in iCloud backup now because Apple changed the encryption methods for iCloud backups and for users who set up two-step verification. However, PanFone Data Transfer now supports to download data from iCloud.com.

The capacity of call log list for each phone is limited. For example, iOS can only display the newest 100 call logs on the list ( The reason why you can see more than 100 call logs is that the same phone calls will gather together to display) while Samsung's capacity is 500.

Once you restore your call logs successfully, you can only see the newest call logs in your phone. If you want to look through all your call logs information, you can use PanFone Manager to check up for.

Please check the storage of your phone, make sure you have enough free space for restoring the backup. Otherwise PanFone will automatically disconnect your device from PanFone program for safe-keeping.

Make sure the transfer is successfully completed, check the transfer complete interface, make sure there is no red "x" mark which means the transfer is actually failed.
