Loading Apps from older Droids?

[fastpat]

I have a Droid 1 running Android 2.2.3, I'd like to hear from those that are loading their apps from their Droid 1s, 2s, and 3s onto their new Droid 4. I won't have mine until Monday, so experiences for the next two and a half days would be appreciated.

Well, I know that I have all my apps backed up onto my SD card... so all i will have to do is just pop it in and install them all from there.. and then update all of them. I can't imagine that it would be a problem. and just maybe ill actually be able to play some games with out them force closing/lagging/freezing up/running choppy......

Im headed out in 15 minuutes (half day of work) to go and pick mine up. I'll let you know how it goes.

So... its pretty cool. When i got the phone, i signed in. When i first went into the market, all of my apps downloaded automatically. And it was pretty quick,too.

I did a back up to Astro in Dec and forgot to do that before switching phones so i had some on there that i could reinstall. Droid4 has an app My Files and they were there to reinstall. Very easy and very quickly.

Not all of my apps where there. Some I can't even find in the market...

All of my previous apps auto downloaded, paid or free. Also the paid apps that I left uninstalled remained uninstalled. I didn't even think about backing them up.

yeah... as soon as you go to the Market. the 4g is really quick and your apps are installed within a few minutes. pretty sweet! Ones that I did not install through the Market were not included.. but I just installed backed up apps from Astro File Manager.

So far I have trouble only with two game apps: Solitaire and Jewellust, that don't scale well to the larger screen of the Droid 4. It's time for some new games anyway...

Still a newbie on the tech stuff but Verizon put my SD card in from my droid 1 into the droid 4. Not sure they set it up right and on the computer It looks like they split it in two ? Anyway still on the computer at the android market I saw a tab for My Apps clicked on it and everything I ever downloaded was there. I could click on Install select the droid 4 and it downloaded to my phone (which was not connected to the computer) Unless they took something off the market all your old apps should be there.
