So the screen on my android tablet is on the fritz for good this time-weird colors and shit. Tried messing with it, no joy.
So I bought another one of the same model (except 16gb instead of 32) off ebay. I did some google searching on transferring android to android, most of them seem to be about phones, using a PC as a go-between the 2. Does this really work, or is it just for data and such? I have a few paid apps I'd rather not pay for again, and I don't know if google play would let me re-download them to a different tablet for free. Anyone done this? |

If google doesn't provide a free easy way to do this, they SUCK!! Google provides free, easy backup of android phones to your google account. If you don't want to back your stuff up using their system, that's fine, but then why should Google care if you can't migrate your phone data easily? |
