how do i transfer apps from an old phone
Schett, being able to have all your information on your old phone and put it on your new phone is very important. Were you able to try the Smart Samsung Smart Switch™: Transfer Contacts, Music & More Switch? Were you able to transfer all your information over to your new phone? Keep me posted so I can further assist if you still need help.

Sign in to the same Google account on the new phone - the apps will be in the playstore and you can redownload any or all of your previous apps to the new phone. Be sure you are connected to wifi when you do this!
so no easy transfer...ok thanks
Yes, there is. When you swap your SIM card and turn on your new phone for the first time it will include a prompt to transfer your data. All you need is enough battery the switch can take some time.
for samsung to samsung, i used samsung smart switch to xfer from s5 to note5.....wi-fi on both.
that only works if all apps are on sim card.....mine aren't.
I purchased the droid 2. I just re downloaded everything before I saw all the other replies :smileysad: I took the long way around I guess. I figured there was an easier way but this worked as well. I then got rid of the things I didn't need from the old phone right? thank you for the response.

Apps are never on a SIM card. Swapping the SIM card is to move service and activate the phone. It never moves apps or data other than phone number, and possibly, text and call history and in the old basic phone days, contact list.
The SIM card just activates service on the new phone. Most android smartphones start the process with "Tap and go", Samsung smart switch or similar process which starts after you select language and sign in to wifi. All the phones I've had use Bluetooth or NFC to transfer phone to phone. The galaxy s7 came with a data transfer cable And adapter.
