  My phone has 96,486 SMS that has to be backed up but the process keeps terminating due to "internet connection lost". My fiber internet access is quite stable so I don't think disruption is the cause. Is there a way I can back up the sms in parts? mebacal1960, 19/10/2020
  • Hello, 96,486 is really big count of SMS. It is possible that the processing of such a number of items takes a long time and it is possible that server terminate the communication due to a long time without response from the device.
    
    We are curently working on optimalization of application, which may solve issue like yours. We will release new version of app asap, within a few days at the latest. We will contact you. Please, be patient.
    
    Thank you PhoneCopy support team, 20/10/2020
    • Hello,
      
      we developed a promised new beta version (3.4.3) of app. This optimized version should solve your reported issue. Please, download and install new version and try to sync again with it.
      
      I recommend, plug in charger during sync, because sync of big count of items take long time and it is possible that Android system will try to limit the app due to battery life.
      Download link: https://www.phonecopy.com/android/download/phonecopy.apk
      
      Please, send us feedback, if it works now or not.
      
      Thank you for your patience and cooperation. PhoneCopy support team, 22/10/2020
• Good Day Team,
  I have uploaded my contacts+diary etc, from my Lumia 640 LTE (windows phone) successfully, but I don't seem to be able to download (from your cloud) to my new Huawei P40 Pro..., (previously known as the P40 els-nx9) which your systems say is supported. Spent hours so far..., even losing weight now! Help PLEASE...., REGARDS, Trev. trevor.lidbury, 29/08/2020
  • Hi, did you download PhoneCopy application from Google Play or Huawei AppGallery? PhoneCopy support team, 30/08/2020
    • Hi, on Windowsphone it was from Google Play, on new P40 plus, I honestly don't remember, but THINK it was from H AppGalley. I even paid for a month's premium upgrade. Having a look around 'tinternet' I've seen one version of PhoneCopy with the red/black background and another with a pale blue background. Both mine are red/black. Should I delete both phones and start again? Can't actually find the 'pale-blue-one' in a store? Is the blue one the newer version? Regards, Trevor L trevor.lidbury, 30/08/2020
      • Hi, Windows mobile (Lumia) has older design because we keep it working until Microsoft will keep live their store. That step don't need to be repeated. Huawei P40 application is the same like on the following guide https://www.phonecopy.com/en/pages/how_to_synchronize_contacts_to_android . We found your phone contacting our servers but still not synchronized. Our technical team will contact you on Monday to check what should be wrong. PhoneCopy support team, 30/08/2020
        • Hello again, and thank you for your prompt response. I will be patient and wait 'till Monday then. Trevor L trevor.lidbury, 30/08/2020
          • Hello,
            
            your Huawei does not support Google Play Services.
            
            In this case, please, install PhoneCopy for Huawei:

              • My Huawei DOES support Google Play Services...., what it will NOT do is respond to the link that you've sent me. I think I may have to write-off the £1:92 I've paid to PhoneCopy. I still have the same problem! I've successfully uploaded my contacts from my Lumia 640 LTE to your 'Cloud'. But cannot download anything to my Huawei P40 pro. In the app, the P40 Think I want to UPload, but says there is nothing to upload. Is there anything else you can suggest please? trevor.lidbury, 01/09/2020
                • Hello again, sorry, but official Huawei documentation says that Huawei P40 does not contain Google Services and running on Android 10.
                  In our logs, generated by communication with your phone is named as P40 pro, but running on Android 4.4.2 KITKAT with older type of processor, what is very unusual.
                  We will send you more informaction to your private mail. PhoneCopy support team, 01/09/2020
                  • Thank you for this information. I've had this handset for less than a week. It came unlocked, apparently 'sealed', boxed, with the usual very small instruction leaflet, from a usually reliable source that I've used for a long time. I do now wonder though, if it is a genuine Huawei product? I have not owned any Huawei products before, so cannot compare. It is advertised variously at between £695:00 and £875:00 approx. I am very careful about buying things on the internet, but there's always a first time to be conned. I'm SURE that your information is correct. I'll await your further contact with interest. Thanks again, Trevor L trevor.lidbury, 01/09/2020

            • Hello again PhoneCopy team,
              Just wanted to say a really big thank you. After a complete week of communication to/fro between us, I have finally synchronised my Lumia 640 LTE with my new (highly suspect P40 pro) You even built a version of your app specifically for my use.
              I now have all 87 contacts and hundreds of diary entries on the Android P40 pro. Sorted all the contacts; now just looking around for a decent calendar📅diary for other content.
              Upgraded to premium at the start of this 'adventure' and have just paid for a bit😊more storage, (not that I'll need it) by way of a Thank You. Kind Regards, Trevor L

• Dear,
  Immediately after installing your application on my phone (Android 7.1.1), I log in without problems and download all the contacts from my account on the phone. However, after the second run of the application, I see the message 'Android System WebView not installed'. What happens, really I need to install WebView? ehelp24, 09/04/2017
  • Hello, since version 5 Android Lollipop, WebView is a separate system component (and it is also available on Google Play). This component is used e.g. for web browsing. In Your case, WebView probably had been updated and therefore it was unavailable in the phone. Due to this situation, warning message was showed (the application without WebView can not run).
    You really do not need to install WebView (at the first run it was ok, so it was already installed). If the warning message appears at every launch of app, please contact us again. PhoneCopy support team, 10/04/2017
    • Dear, also on the Nougat 7.1.2 the message "WebView Error" appears at every second and subsequent launch of your app. This is very frustrating for me. Have you any idea? ehelp24, 20/11/2017

• I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app but it just will not run the sync -- it shows "Samsung Phone" with 228 contacts then This device >> PhoneCopy.com I agree and then it connects to PhoneCopy then it was "No changes since last synchronisation". In fact if I log into the website it keeps saying that my Samsung device has never been Synced... Why does the Android app not work at all? msdiamondconsulting, 19/01/2017
• I followed the instructions for exporting contacts from Android and it shows me the number of contacts on my device, but when I choose one-way sync from the device to the server the screen goes black for a second and then nothing is updated and it says no changes occurred. msdiamondconsulting, 19/01/2017
