Yesterday I ordered Lenovo P780 from flipkart with 10% cash back on SBI card.

Currently I use galaxy S2, and wish to transfer specific data like gmail, whatsapp,etc. to p780.

Few queries,

-Do I need to uninstall whatsapp on s2 and register again on p780?
- After installing gmail on p780, will it fetch old mails?

Any other general guidelines while switching to new phones?

P.S. I don't want app backup or game saves to backup, can re-install them manually.

1. Yes. A code will be sent again and you need to enter it in P780. Will take 5 minutes/
2. Yes. It would fetch all the emails. No problem.

Make sure all you contacts in S2 are copied to your google account.
 
@Vagabond Copy the WhatsApp folder from the S2 to the P780 before registering whatsapp on the new phone, if you want to restore your conversation threads, images, videos etc. It'll then automatically give you the option to restore while registering.
For backing up call logs, sms and application data (not the application itself, that needs to be downloaded again from the play store, but the settings, preferences etc.), which not everyone might want to do, I use Helium which does not necessarily require root, but is a breeze to use if the device is rooted.
