Help iPhone to S3 (Android) Sync Question

[Pappy35]

I'm looking for a How-To describing how this is accompished on the S3.

I'm a reforming iPhone junky. If I wipe my iPhone (or get a replacement), I simply logged-into it (or the new one) with my iTunes account and 10 minutes to an hour later it's like nothing ever happened.

How is this done with an Android device? I have a Google account and am aware that contact and calendar info transfers no problem. I guess I'm looking for a way to get EVERYTHING to go: 1) pics, 2) settings, 3) apps, etc., all without any interaction from me.

In short, no good way to do all of that as seamless as it seemed with Apple. BUT, there is a way to do everything. Your app purchases/installs are all tied to your android account and will automatically be available on any other phone you use your account on. If you use Google Music, your music is backed up automatically there. If you use Picasa or Google+, you can set it up to automatically back up your pictures to that. Not sure how you would accomplish backing up your settings.

For pics I'd upload them all to picasa or google+ and that'll give you access to them on any android phone. Then you'd want to tell the google+ app to auto upload any pics you take (not sure if picasa does this). With music I'd use doubleTwist, as it takes all of the data directly from iTunes. Settings and apps are a whole different ballgame in a whole new ecosystem, so you're not going to be able to sync them really. You'll just have to do your settings yourself and search through the Google Play store for apps until you get them all installed. You can do this from the browser so it shouldn't take long.
