If you find setting up a new Android phone is a chore, then you should be happy to hear Google may be working on a way to make the process much faster. Assemble Debug has done a deep dive into the code for Google’s Data Restore Tool (via Android Authority), and uncovered evidence of a new method of data transfer that uses a physical cable and Wi-Fi.
Assemble Debug found references to a tool called “MultiTransportD2dTransport” and a line of text saying “Copying using cable and Wi-Fi for fastest speed." It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that means Google may be able to transfer data by simultaneously using wired and wireless connections.
