Greetings,

Much thanks to all who have offered advice.

I have finally gotten around to upgrading my phone from an Android Samsung 
S7 to an Android Samsung A52 5G, per Sprint/T-Mobile's requirements.

The last task for managing all the upgrade is to configure MemoToo, or to 
find some other mechanism of accessing either my Evolution data or to 
download it from the Memotoo website (my governing data is what is input 
into Evolution on my computer; Memotoo and my phone(s) only receive the 
data).

Memotoo provides its app on its website. There are some instructions on 
how to configure it on different OS's and devices. I do not have an answer 
as to why it was removed from the Google Play store.

Per the instructions from Memotoo, I have downloaded and installed the 
MemoToo app on the A52.

I am able to download (reset) my contacts and calendar data to my A52.

However, when I open Samsung's Contacts on the A52, I can't configure it 
so that it sees Memotoo's data.

The same happens with my Samsung Calendar on my A52. I have contacted 
Memotoo in this regard.

I have then downloaded/purchased Synthesis SyncML Client PRO. I have only 
begun to wrestle with the configuration. So far, all I see is that it can 
upload, not download data. But these are the early stages.

What I have gleened, though. The last system software update on my S7 was 
to Android 8.x; the A52's Android version is Android 11.

Synthesis SyncML Client PRO provides documentation 
(http://www.synthesis.ch/dl.php/1596/SyncML_Client_for_Android_en.pdf); a 
brief review indicates that " for Android 1.5 up to Android 8.1 ( ARM and 
Intel Atom, 32/64 bit). The page footers indicate a copyright from 
2002-2018. So, there is some concern if this software is current.

Much thanks for any guidance that anyone can offer on how to manage this 
transition,

Max
