Transfer from Galaxy S5 to Galaxy S10e
Posted: Sun Aug 20, 2023 6:20 pm
I've been using HLT for quite a while on my old Galaxy S5. It has overheated many times, battery bulged, something in the microSD slot is damaged and it won't utilize microSD cards any more - it's in bad shape. I've created backups before, but it's been several months since I did. In the past, I exported to my google drive and that went fine. Now, when I try to do that, it crashes after a few seconds or a minute or two during the initial "creating export files" stage. It does this every time, and no amount of reloading, powering off, etc has helped. If I try to export a track day or whole track worth of data to .hlptrl, same thing. If I export just a lap or two, it will export, but I'm not terribly interested in trying to save hundreds of files individually to capture the data. The phone has storage space; it's really the only thing on the phone these days.
I have local backups on the phone. So there's that. I can't create external backup because it requires file conversion and it crashes during that process just like the above.
I did managed to export the database as a zip file, which is much smaller than the DB file (~88MB vs 450MB), but I can't use that or open with HLT because it says the file selected cannot be processed by this application. The zip file is made up of thousands of .pdb files, but the new phone won't let me associate that with HLT either.
Questions-
Can I use the DB zip file with HLT somehow? And how please? Or will loading the LapTimerDB.pdb file cause the rest of the .pdb files to import properly?
Will it be missing any data from my laps?
Is there a workaround or just other method to get the database off of my old phone since it doesn't seem to want to export it without crashing?
Thanks.
