I've searched but only find old references that don't seem to fit. Samsung Smart Switch brings over voicemail on Verizon but apparently not on Sprint Note 8. I'm coming off of an S4 and can't find a way to bring those voicemail messages to the Note 8. Does anyone know of a method that works?
What worked for me was downloading the APK for the same version of voicemail that is on the Note 8. You can find it here: https://android-apk.org/com.coremobility.app.vnotes/28825488-coremobility-vnotes/.
Once downloaded and installed on the old device (S4 in my case) you need to move all email you wish to save/ move to the Archive folder.
You may be able to just copy/ paste the ARM files but I copied the entire directory from the S4 to the Note 8.
From Windows Explorer I opened up both the Note 8 and the S4. Make sure you have a list of ARM files in the S4 directory labeled: Computer\XXXXXXXXXX (SPH-L720)\Phone\smvvm. If it appears you have a number of ARM files corresponding to the voicemails you archived you should be set.
I copied the smvvm folder and then pasted in the root folder of the Note 8. Took a little time to populate/ refresh. You may need to close out the voicemail app on the Note 8 and then reopen. Once the voicemails appear in the archive on the Note 8 you can move back to inbox, etc.
Hope this helps.

Hi XDA!
I am a recent convert to Android from many years of iPhone usage. I made the plunge by investing in what like among the best if not the best Android phone available, the Note 8. So far I am a very happy camper!
That is until today. This is my fault and not the phones fault however. I forgot the password to the phone which I had written down IN THE PHONE ITSELF (facepalm). I actually bought a notebook to write the password down in last night for this very reason. Lovely coincident happened: My phone discharged during the night so now I need the password to get in. To my question of the day then:
How would i go about opening an .SNM file on a PC?
I have such a file stored in a backup of the phone: C:\Users\**\Documents\samsung\SmartSwitch\backup\SM-N950F\SM-N950F_\SM-N950F_20171104133032\SamsungNotes\SamsungNote.snm.
I am assuming this file contains the notes. Stupidly the passwords were jotted down with the (wonderful) S-Pen so I cannot simply go through it with a hex editor/text editor and look for my files. I need a proper extraction tool/process of some kind to get the images/notes out.
All i have found on the internet refers to opening the (older?) .SNB files which apparently are simply .zip-archives.
Any help would be greatly appreciated indeed!
Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Andreas
Hi again!
Just wanted to share an update incase anyone else is googling after getting themselves into a similar situation or for any other reason need to open their samsung notes files.
What I ended up doing was restoring my backup using Smart Switch to another device I have access to. An S7 to be more precise. One problem that bogged me down however was that the Samsung Notes app on the S7 did not properly load or even recognize the notes it received from the backup, the notes originally made on the note 8. It turns out this was because the note 8 for some reason receives a newer version of samsung notes (2.XX instead of 1.4).
After fiddling around with the backup settings in the .xml files i managed to get it working by sideloading the newer version of Samsung Notes downloaded as an APK and installing that. Then the S7 would load the notes and I could access the info I needed
Silly me for getting into the issue but I am happy I managed to fix it!
Hi Everyone,
New To Forum...Any Advise Would Be Gr8ly Appreciated...
Q1: Under Settings - Cloud & Accounts - Samsung Cloud - Scroll Down To Backup & Restore: There Are (2) Backups Displayed (1) For Note 9 & (1) For Old S7...When I Open The Old S7 Backup There's An Option To Backup To This Phone Or Another Option To Delete Backup...Is There Good Reason To Backup It Up To The Note 9 - Or Should I Just Leave It Where It Is - Or Should I Delete For Future Space? Everything Seems To Have Transferred Over Except: See Q2*
Q2: After Smart Switch'n My Phones, 1 Thing I Noticed Was That My Text Transferred Over But Only What The Other Person/People (Group) Sent Or Responded To Me; Not Any Of The Text That I Sent Out Or Made Responses To...Any1 Else Notice That? My Portion Of The Text Didn't Start Show'n Up Until I Started Using My Note 9...Any1 Know How To Fix This Issue?
Q3: Where Did Visual Voicemail Go? Or Is It Not Available On Unlocked Note 9?
Hi All,
Had a Galaxy S4 forever, but it died a few days ago and I've picked an S8. Nice phone, bright screen, faster than the S4 and I don't have SSL issues with the browsers.
I was running ES FIle Explorer Remote Manager and an FTP client on my Win7 computer (Wise FTP-6). It was easy to transfer files from one to the other in either direction.
So I have ES on my new S8 and the Remote manager isn't even listed in the menu. So I found the APK file that I was using in my S4 and installed it into the S8, it installed without issues, version 4.1.7.1.16 (market).
Now that I had the identical file on the S8 as I had on my S4 I figured I had it beat. But it still doesn't show up in the menu. Having the S4 and S8 side by side and doing the same thing it is clearly missing from the menu.
Anyone know why this is? Is there some sort of permissions I need to turn on in the S8 to let this function work?
Thanks
OK, looks like I figured it out. They moved it to a new menu and renamed it to View on PC. It doesn't have the same functionality of the one on the S4. It's missing the ability to rename it from Anonymous and no way to add a password. It has the button to make a shortcut, but it doesn't work. It lists the client name as Anonymous with a capital A but it's really anonymous with a small "a"
But I've got it to work so I can transfer my files back and forth again with ease.
Thank goodness.

I'm having trouble
When I Receive a passcode and need to copy just the code , but what's happening is when i receive the code it's not underlined so I can copy that code and not the hole message. Iv never had this problem with my old Samsung s10e .
But with my new Asus ZenFone 8. I need to remember the code and enter it manually . Any suggestions would be great.
Pen & paper.
This has nothing to do with the phone. Some apps do not allow copying parts of text. Like messenger for example.
Check if you have the same version as of the app as on the Samsung.

Hi. This should be straight forward, but I'm not finding it so using Oneplus 7pro phone and 5 watch. Right now I change the file name to ".mp3" and use the galaxy app to move the file, then change the name back on the watch. What's a better way?
Solved: MyWear File Explorer on both devices.
