Youngest sproglet decided he'd see if my P30 would bounce, it does to a degree but the screen is cracked I'm getting a purple bleed spreading across the bottom left of screen.

Going back to Pixel, it's being brought to me from the UK Thursday morning.

Seems there are a few options to basically clone Huawei onto Pixel, NFC, Laptop, Google account etc, can anyone suggest the most complete option?

Cheers.

Y get a USB C OTG adapter with the Pixel, connect the P30 to it with a USB A to USB C cable and plug it into the Pixel and you should be able to transfer what you need. I'd make sure you've also backed up to your Google account before doing so but that doesn't back up messages/apps etc etc.

Thanks.

Both are type C (I still use the charger for my pixel 2 on huawei) so will hook them up and see what happens.

Noted on the Google back up.

I was basing it on the Pixel using a USB C to C cable and the Huawei has a USB A to C cable (that's what the P20 Pro came supplied with at least) so you'll have to use the Huawei cable as the supplied OTG adapter is USB C to USB A (socket)

Huaweis charge great on the supplied pixel charger/cable, but only slow charging on the Pixel using the Huawei charger as it's Quick Charge 3.0 and not PD (Power Delivery)

P30 so it's C to C.

Will plug them together when it arrives and see what happens!
