If you have an e-wallet like Coinomi you can easily use the two operating systems are Android and IOS. This application is completely secure. It helps to exchange cryptocurrency quickly and conveniently.

Coinomi is a source code with a private key that is stored entirely on the device. Now, only support on android and ios is currently growing. Your personal keys never leave your device, strong encryption and encryption ensure that your funds will remain secure under your ultimate control, allowing you to keep everything possible. Access and a passphrase you must back up once and for all

you can save your data in the form of bat files that you can sync with the applications contained in your new phone. Can also through private key connected in the system, you should not forget it. I strongly recommend that every time you create a wallet of any kind you should back up the data so as not to lose in the next day

You just have to back up your wallet, usually all wallets have files that can be reserved like MEW!

would it be better for me to just transfer all coins to my account on an exchange or a desktop wallet, and that way all funds are off my phone?
Yes, that's fine, but do not send it to any exchange except if you're planning to buy another digital currency.
The current recommended transaction fee (based on Electrum's recommendation via mempool) is 10sat/b.
Sending them to another wallet/address isn't going to be expensive unless you have 100+ inputs.

In order not to have problems in the event of losing a phone with purses, you should always make backup purses. It is best to save all the data on paper, if it's a QR code, or a recovery seed. And store these spare passwords in a safe place. Or as an option - you can buy a second phone and have duplicates of their applications on the second phone.

How many people do you actually know with rooted phones? And not to label OP, but I don't see someone that can root their phone also asking questions about how to move their wallets between phones
ugh, myself, my brother an everyone in my group.

The number may be little compared to the number of android phones but that's why I've included "in case your phone was rooted".
And in OP's perspective (a newbie in cryptocurrency) moving a wallet that uses a unventured money requires a query to the 1st-hand users.

Overall, your reply isn't much of a subject for discussion.

Just export your private seed (like you should initially when you installed the app and generated the wallet). If you don't have your private seed written down in a save place DO IT IMMEDIATELY. If you drop your phone or your phone gets stolen you lose everything ...

You can shout to the rooftops and people will still fail at that simple task...
But believe me, they are loud whinners when their phone breaks or gets stolen...
You cant help stupid

Better to make a backup of your application and then you can move your data with sd card i don't know if this trick can work or not check this link hope it can helps you https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T1aBHPGCwr4.
Moving the data to the SD card isn't a way to move the app's sensitive data (like passwords or saves for games) at all.
It just moves the app's resources. In an instance that the SD card was removed, most apps will keep the user's data in the internal data storage and when the user reinstall the app, his data may still be intact.

Even using rooted apps will not do and I doubt there's a possible app for that.
Yes it's far fetched but still possible if the wallet app isn't password/passphrase protected. (can the user create an unencrypted coinomi wallet?)
But if a rooted phone with a loaded wallet was stolen, there is a great chance for the thief to get the coin by flashing a customized recovery mode that's readily available for geeky users, still, an encrypted wallet will be a challenge/impossible to steal.
Agreed, a simple reset factory settings (wipe user data) is safe enough with regards to Coinomy and other encrypted mobile wallets.

@worldtraveller321 In addition to the multiple replies of restoring via SEED, if in case your phone was rooted,
you can use Titanium Backup or any related superuser backup app which can backup the whole app including the app data from the root directory (app settings, accounts and everything) then restore it in a different (also) rooted android phone.

And this means that even if it's a little more hassle, doing a proper backup and also a restore, so he can see the backup was correct is the best way to go. And after doing these steps he will also have the wallet on the new phone.

The problem with this is that information stay remained on the old phone.
Depending on the amount which is (or in future will be) stored inside this wallet (generated by this seed), it might be very foolish to resell  / give the phone away.
It might be possible (under some circumstances) that enough information can be retrieved from the old phone (even with a factory reset) to regenerate the seed which is being used.

The 'cleaner' alternative would definitely be to use a new seed.



It's not possible to know the seeds even if you look at all manifest files on the Coinomi Android app. And I doubt someone will look into that as they are not aware of the phone's past. Even using rooted apps will not do and I doubt there's a possible app for that.

Coinomi once uninstalled and reinstalled will definitely asked for keys upon opening. OP just need to remember the wallet phrase and that's it. No hassle. Been doing that lots of times already.

I don't have any good idea for you as far as i know your data will remain on your phone you can lose your wallet by restarting your device. I advice you to make a backup of your phone.

Option 1 do give out less hassle if you dont like into importing things which you would basically sent out your coins into your new phones ICONOMI wallet yet you had mentioned you would purchase a new one and it would just cost small fee and less hassle because just a few clicks then you are good to go.

If OP is asking these questions then it's almost sure he doesn't have a proper backup.

You should get the seeds (private keys?) for all the old wallets for 2 reasons:
1. Transferring funds from one address to another usually costs money (even 1 cent is money).
2. You should also keep those seeds in a safe place (on a paper, offline, for example), since if you lose your phone or it gets bricked for whatever reason, you'll also lose your coins.

PS. You should also re-create and backup the 2FA seeds if you have 2FA enabled anywhere.

Most common action is to import seeds or backup files which is a basic thing on most wallet have that kind of thing where as a user you should really be concern on how to keep those informations safe incase of recovery or accessing your wallet.

You have two options,if you want to download the coinomi wallet into new phone then you can import them by using the private seeds which you were given by at the time of creation of the old existing wallet on your old mobile then all your coins will be seen on new mobile too,or you don't have that private seed but you still have access to your coinomi wallet on old mobile then you can transfer all your coins to the new wallet's addresses respectively for each coin you were holding.
