Transfer to a new phone

xDrip » Download & Installation » Transfer to a new phone

Be very careful. xDrip cannot import a database; it can only restore one. This means that when restoring a database, xDrip will replace the existing one, effectively deleting all current data and replacing it with the restored database.

To avoid data loss, restore the database on the new phone before setting it up as a collector. If you start collecting data on the new phone before restoring the database, any newly collected data will be overwritten when you perform the restoration.

Steps to Transfer:

1. Create a backup on the old phone.
2. Transfer the backup database and settings file to the new phone.
3. Install xDrip on the new phone.
4. Restore the database only if you have not already started collecting data, or if you are willing to lose any new readings since the time the backup file was created.
5. You can restore settings using the settings file transferred from the old phone.
