    Question Old text messages not showing up on new android phone

    Got the phone from motorola. Have not had a lot of time to mess with it yet but when I first turned it on, it was not setup. It asks me to go through the setup process, good sign. One thing I noticed during setup is the date, showed a date of june 2024. Seems like a good sign of not being...

    Question Old text messages not showing up on new android phone

    I realize there probably wouldn't be any issues using the phone but more about the principle of it. I have already requested a refund from amazon and now have 2 phones to return. Bought same model directly through motorola and it was actually a little cheaper. Who knows, maybe this phone will...

    Question Old text messages not showing up on new android phone

    Debating on whether I should return this replacement phone as well since it appears to be used as well. I realize it would probably be fine for him and the phone can't be that old since it is a 2024 model. It's more about the principle of it, bought and paid expecting a new phone, not a used...

    Question Old text messages not showing up on new android phone

    Does that mean technically the phone is used? I didn't get the transfer function because the setup process has already been done. I have not transferred the sim card from the previous phone yet. But on previous phone, calls and texts did work. I am looking at getting a phone for myself...

    Question Old text messages not showing up on new android phone

    How am I able to post a pic here? I have uploaded a screenshot to imgur and tried posting different links here but says I can't post because of spam. Did live chat with amazon, they are sending me a replacement with no fuss at all. All I told them that it was already setup when I got it and...

    Question Old text messages not showing up on new android phone

    Guess I can't post a link to the item page here, will try to get a screenshot of page. Talking to amazon now about what my options are. IMO, I should be getting a replacement. Although how I can be sure that I get a new unlocked phone? What is to stop this from happening again? One thing I...

    Question Old text messages not showing up on new android phone

    Got through the transfer process. Finishing up the setup process on new phone and see something that has me a little worried. Came to a page that says tracfone wireless, asking about device pulse terms and conditions asking to accept and continue. Not using tracfone service, on old or new...

    Question Old text messages not showing up on new android phone

    Working on a factory reset now. Going through the setup on new phone and got to screen where it asks about transfer from old phone. It asks me to connect old and new phone with a cable and I did that with the cable that came with new phone, both ends are usb-c. Now on the old phone, a screen...

    Question Old text messages not showing up on new android phone

    Wondering why the texts didn't move over. On new phone, should I sign out of google account before doing the reset? Contacts are most important thing for him, his old phone still has contacts as well. Would I have to contact US Mobile to get service going again? Worst case scenario I guess...

    Question Old text messages not showing up on new android phone

    So maybe dumb question but when phone is setup for the very first time, you don't need previous account info, correct? And something I don't get, let's say I do a factory reset on used phone and wanted to sell it. The new owner would need my account info in order to get it setup? As far as...
