Important Considerations:
- Both devices need at least 500 MB of free internal storage for data transfer.
- Wired connections require device support for 'Transferring media files (MTP)' USB option.
- For non-Samsung devices experiencing wireless disconnections, try disabling "Wi-Fi initialize" and "Disconnect low Wi-Fi signal" in Advanced Wi-Fi settings. (Availability depends on device manufacturer and OS version).
App Permissions:
Smart Switch requires access to Phone, Call logs, Contacts, Calendar, SMS, Storage, Microphone, Bluetooth, and Location for optimal functionality. If your system software is older than Android 6.0, update it to manage app permissions. You can reset previously granted permissions in your device's Apps menu after a software update.
