I used Google for Contacts, SmS Backup & restore for sms... & for Contacts one more sms back up application is there... But it couldn't Restore by sms...

And for WhatsApp data & other files I used Computer....

For contacts sync with Google, you need not do anything but making sure that they are synced with Google servers in old phone. For sms use sms backup and restore app from playstore. There is another such app for Whatsapp, or even there is an option to backup chats in Whatsapp too. For game score and backup settings of other apps use Titanium backup...

I followed the steps as outlined in the following link to move Whatsapp to another phone however I am facing
issue.
https://www.whatsapp.com/faq/en/android/20902622


1. I stopped using whatsapp on MI3.
2. I copied whatsapp folder from MI3 to 1+1 at the same location.
3. I installed whatsapp on 1+1.
4. On launching after validation process it picked up the backup and I can
see the messages.

The issue I am facing is it is showing messages only till November, 22 and not
till today's date. I factory resetted the 1+1 phone and followed the steps
again but same issue. Please could you help solve this issue.

Even i faced the same problem but my data not being important didn't do much...

You can try to delete the backup from old phone and make a new back up..

Then restore it on new 1+1...

Issue fixed.

I again took backup, deleted the whatsapp folder from 1+1 and moved the whatsapp folder to 1+1

deleted all files from datastore folder except the last backup file. :)

Apart from Contacts (pretty obvious that a google account helps here), there's an app called "Copy my Data" in play store that helps the new phone communicate with your old, through the same Wifi network & you can selectively copy - Contacts, photos, videos & calendar.

Whatsapp backup has already been discussed above..
