Help Phone swap - setup new one like old one?

[Thunder22]

I have a replacement phone arriving on Monday (broken USB port on current phone)

What's the easiest way to transfer the setup and apps from my existing phone to the new one?

If you're rooted, Titanium Backup is the way to go.

If not, google automatically backs up you contacts, apps, etc, but settings like ringtones and screen time-outs will have to be manually redone.

This is as far as I know, maybe there's an app for that, but I don't know of one.

Hope this helps!

Thanks, not rooted, have contacts/cal/email in Outlook so that will come over on a synch. Was hoping there was a way to do a backup/restore of all apps and screens so that I don't have re-setup the entire phone.

Google also backs up your apps, and (theoretically) will begin to download them onto your new device as soon as you sign in to your google account. And with 4G speeds, this should be particularly quick.

In my experience with phones, for reasons I'm not aware of, the sync always seems to miss a few apps.

Settings, (again as far as I know) must be manually redone
