Why?

My iPhone 7 is now (Dec. 2023) several years old, battery is bad, updates won't be available for much longer, and the display size is no longer compatible with my 48 years old eyes…

How?

I purchased a Google Pixel 8 and I tried to migrate all the apps and services to the new device…

  • Automatic Transfer of Apps and Data with USB adapter is, besides of copied music, rubbish

Apps, that are identically available and working just fine

  • Floccus
  • Home Assistant
  • Signal
  • WhatsApp
  • Facebook
  • Instagram
  • Ingress
  • Pokemon Go
  • Amazon
  • eBay
  • Outlook & O365 relatives

In general, you can assume commercial apps are just fine (somehow sad).

Apps, that needed to be replaced

  • BookPlayer → Smart AudioBook Player (Note: If Audiobooks from internal storage don't show up - rename m4b to m4a…)
  • FreeOTP → Google Authenticator
  • Music…
    • → VLC
  • iWriter Pro…
    • → Nextcloud App (if in editing mode, checking of todos works (Android)..why doesn't that in read-mode? THAT would be nice!)
    • → Nextcloud Notes (actually not very good - is that an official app?)
    • → Simple Markdown (yeah...no)
  • Strongbox → KeePassDX

Apps that caused me headaches

  • NextCloud App…
    • …was syncing very slow. Maybe because of this:
