Transfer notes from old Android phone to new Android phone

[PhilPetrol 0]

I've just upgraded to a new Android phone and need to transfer the notes from my old Android phone, which I've now set up with my old Evernote account.

 

I've read that notes are automatically stored on the Evernote server. If this is true, how do I retrieve them to my phone? I've tried using the Evernote sync action on my new phone but that doesn't do it.

 

I've never had a backup on my PC so using that isn't an option.

You don't want a new EN account, which I am inferring from your post.  Just sign in to your "old" EN account on the new Android and the sync should start.

Hi FoneTransfer will help you solve the probelm. It supports to transfer data between Android to Android, just google it.

1.) You don't need a 3rd party transfer program. It will probably cause more frustration with internal note links and hierarchical tags.

 

2.) csihilling's suggestion is correct. With your new Android phone, just sign on with your original Evernote username and password.

 

3.) If the data is important, you should start backing it up with your Evernote desktop account.

+1 on all of these suggestions!

To transfer data from android to android, i think it's more convenient to use a mobile transfer app. You just need to connect your two phones to computer at the same time and start the app to transfer data, here you should set old android in the source position and new android in the desition position.

Please don't do this for Evernote - your information is stored on the server,  not your phone - so phone to phone nonsense will just mess up your account.

Hi.  You are (probably) completely correct.  However THIS DOES NOT APPLY to Evernote.  Really.

@gazumped is correct in that the data in Evernote doesn't transfer over when moving content over to a new device. Evernote will sync your information once you download and log into your Evernote account.

I followed the guide and the text is messed up on my new phone. Not recommended.

Which guide? If you used a mobile transfer app,  please read this thread again. It is NOT the correct procedure and WILL only mess up your data.

If you followed Evernote advice and logged into your new account and still see messed up text,  try uninstalling Evernote,  restarting your device and reinstalling the app.  Also check the original notes via a browser by logging into Evernote.com.

Mine won't sync either, I tried using PC app and it is showing notes from the new phone but not the old one..... same email and password on both

Using a PC app will mess up your data.

The master copy of your notes is maintained on the Evernote servers.

You do not have to use a PC app to transfer notes between mobile devices.  Copies of notes are not maintained on mobile devices (exception for Offline Notebooks)

You should just be able to log in and access your account's notes

This post has nothing to do with Evernote, which stores notes on its servers and updates them to any new device. @sofietaslim. No special transfer procedures or software are needed. I've reported the post.

This is similar but different than my problem:

I had to reset my android phone, and I have paid for Premium Evernote, with a lot of time still remaining. but I can't figure out how to log into premium on the reset phone, since it only offers and wants me to upgrade to premium for the features I was using. Can't find where to do that here at this site, or in Evernote. 

anyone know??? thanks

Premium applies to the account, regardless of the device being used

To access your data, log in with the correct userid/password

I’m not an Android user; this might help  https://help.evernote.com/hc/en-us/articles/209005177-How-to-set-up-offline-notebooks-on-mobile-devices

• ANDROID

  1. Select Notebooks from the navigation menu
  2. Tap the options button (three dots) at the top of the screen, then select Offline notebooks
  3. Toggle the switch for some or all notebooks to be downloaded for offline use

[billtech66 0]

thanks! and I found the answer, seems it's different on different versions of android (I have the latest): On my phone, z5 Sony premium: mine is like this: answer: click upper left icon looks like 3 lines, click Notebooks;  shows all notebooks, some have lots of notes. (mine is: 16, 697, etc); to the right of these, there are 3 vertical dots, click on that for each set of notes;  NOTEBOOKS OPTIONS comes up listing 6 choices, 2nd one down is Make available offline. it then downloads the files.

[billtech66 0]

also, we need either the Plus or Premium before the ability to Allow offline access, is available. free version does not offer that option.

Turns out I have the Plus upgrade.

[gazumped 12,630]

Looks like the help page is a little out of date (although I have a current Android too...)

The correct process (for me too) is - go to the notebook screen / click the 3-dot menu on one or more notebooks and choose 'available offline'.
