Has anyone tried transfering all their data on a smartphone to another smartphone without going to the store? There is an app called smartswitch, but was wondering if anyone has tried it? I'm getting a new S5 and need to transfer all my stuff from an S2 to the S5, then my wifes S2 to my S2, her's bit the dust. Where I live, there is no sprint store so I'd have to take time off work to do this. I know all they do at the store is plug it in to a computer, so it can't be that hard to do. Anyone done anything similar on their own?
Transfering one phone to another?

+1, that's what I do too.
As a secondary backup, I'll copy and paste everything from the old phone and keep it on a computer, in case there's some data file for an app that I end up needing long after the old phone is gone.

Will this work going from android to I phone?
It should. I know it works going the other way (from iPhone to Android). What surprised me is my new Android phone even knows all of the Wi-Fi hotspots I frequented with my iPhone, AND already has the passwords stored, so I didn't even need to reconnect to that stuff...
Convenient. And frightening. All at the same time.
