By Switchings with iPhone Guide for Android by Eric Schmidt

Eric Schmidt, the 58-year-old Chairman of the Board of Directors of Google, erupted in its Google+ simple instruction to transition to the iPhone Android-smartphone. He says that it is written for those of many of his friends, who are constantly being attacked with questions how to transfer data from your "ayfonchika" a brand new "androidik". Here is the translation of the text of this delightful uncut :)

Many of my friends, iPhone users, switching to Android. The new top models from SAMSUNG (Galaxy S4), Motorola (Verizon Droid Ultra) and Nexus 5 (on AT & T, Sprint, T-Mobile) have better screens, they are fast and have a much more intuitive interface.

They - the best Christmas present any iPhone user!

Here are a few tips that I would like to give. As people who are moving from a PC on a Mac, and never come back, and those moving on Android with iPhone, never to return. Judge for yourself - all your data is stored in the Cloud, and will never be lost, and device choice for you will always be as wide as possible. 80% of smartphone users in the world, according to recent studies, use Android.

1. Set up your smartphone, tablet (Editor's note: or lopatofona) On Android

• Turn on your phone and connect to the wi-fi network. Sign in to Google Play and download your normal application that you use (for example, Instagram).
• Make sure that your smartphone is running one of the latest versions of Android (4.3 or 4.4).
• If you have At & T, then download the Visual Voicemail application from Google Play.
• Additional accounts on Gmail, you can add now or later.

2. Set up your smartphone or tablet on iOS

• Including smartphones and mount it in the parameters of access to wi-fi network, enter the details of access to Gmail-account. In parallel, make sure that your iPhone is powered by the latest version of iOS (7+).
• Make sure that the iPhone uses iCloud to backup phonebook. If you do not use iCloud, then go to settings and turn on sync.
• If you are using a personal Gmail account, then Settings / Mail settings activate the synchronization of contacts.
• In Settings / iMessages disable iMessage. This service only works on iOS / OSX, and you can not get a message from your friends, even though they can send them to you. SMS service will still continue to work properly on the iPhone you can get by SMS. (Editor's Note: Eric Julita here a little, and as it forgets to say that the version of Hangouts, Vibes, WhatsApp, Facebook Messenger, LINE, and others exist on all platforms. IMessage is not one alive iOS-user.)
• Make sure that your iPhone is fully synchronized with iTunes. All your photos and personal data should be saved after a backup. Check once again it is on the Mac and iPhone.

If done correctly, the contacts are at your Gmail and Android-smartphone. If it does not, then do export and import by hand.

• go to apple.com/icloud (Editor's note: Here Eric or intentionally or accidentally typed an incorrect URL, fix our icloud.com). Please login using your username and password from the Apple ID. Click on Contacts.
• In the bottom left corner click on the gear icon and choose Select All... Then choose Export... in the same place cards of your customers will be in the Downloads folder.
• In your browser, go to the address gmail.com, Click on the Mail button, and then select Contacts. Here you will see a list of your contacts in Gmail. Then select «Import contacts» and load discharged from icloud.com VCF-file. To remove duplicate contacts, use «More / Find & merge duplicates».

Now all of your applications, contacts, and mail will be on the new Android. Check carefully.

3. If you have Mac OS X

Connect your music to Google Music (From the Editor: Instructions on Layfhakera). After the completion of unloading music from iTunes in the Cloud Google, all your music in the cloud and on the new smartphone.

4. SIM-card

Remove the SIM-card of the iPhone and insert it into Android. You may need an adapter (from nano-SIM to micro-SIM). Reboot your Android and you will find that everything just work.

5. Photo

Simply import photos and videos on the Mac (instruction). The easiest way to then load them on Google+, all new photos taken on Android, will get there automatically.

P.S.

Make sure that the computer you have Chrome, not Safari. Chrome safer, it is better for many reasons.

Make sure to use a two-tier authentication in Gmail and all other Google accounts (From the Editor: Instructions Layfhakera). It severely hampers hacking your account.
