Getting a new device and installing Hay Day was always a major stress situation for me. What if something goes wrong and I lose my farm? Especially lately with practically no tech support? It always takes several days before I dare to open the app on the new tablet (Usually after a couple shots of tequila) The usual steps are to go through the introduction of the game and then I carefully add the SC ID doing the same with my other farms and I am a happy content turtle for the next couple years. Really no big deal, right? So today, after my new Google Pixel tablet sits around for a couple days, I dared to open the app, and to my surprise, my farms are all there. No need to go through the intro of Hay Day, no need to add SC ID ... Wow, I almost fell off my chair! I am so happy, and I hope everyone else has the same pleasant transition from old to new device

I got a new iPad a couple of months ago not long after the last update and felt similar. Carefully backed everything up and held my breath when I opened it. Thank goodness it all worked 😊😊😂. A great success actually as the game is no longer jerky. Glad yours worked so well too Eturtle and best wishes to anyone else doing the same 😊

I can relate. I have been playing HD for ten years, so I have changed unit more than once. It always stresses me. That's how I recognize my HD addiction, well that and the ridiculous amount of resources - especially time - I have spend over the years on this marvelous game. 😍
Congratulations on your new unit! It will now be quite some time, before you have to go through it all again. 😋

Congratulations to those who transferred the game successfully to new devices. I remember my trepidation and excitement when I did the same on a tablet running Android 4 to one running Android 9 in 2019. Thanks to Supercell ID, the transition was smooth as silk, IIRC. For those who don't know, Hay Day announced in December 2022 the current minimum requirements are devices running iOS 11 and Android 5, justhayday.boards.net/post/34117/thread

I bought a new tablet last year. (Samsung device with android). But I had to go to the intro and reload my farms with the Supercell ID. Have you connected your farms only with SC ID or also with google Play? EturtleI think the "magic" on your new device was done by google. I only use the SC ID. Happy to hear, that it was so easy for you. I played Hayday on many different devices. As I installed Hayday on a second device the first time it was a stress situation for me, too. Can fully understand you. But I had no issues on any device and installing it last your on my new tablet it was only routine for me. But I think one reason I didn't have panic, was that I had no reason for this. If it would not work to connect on the new device I could still play on my older device.

I try to keep it connected to Google as well, but strangely it disconnects. At that time my farm was not connected to Google Play. Just to explain my panic, way back when, I helped my mom to switch her farm to her new device and something went wrong. Tech support back then still had live people one could talk to on the phone. yeppers, unbelievable, right? so that took a lot of proof finding, begging and tears to get them to unlock her farm for her. One proof they wanted was what date she started playing. who writes this down? :/

Well, I join you soon with a new device. For some time I hesitated because it is still expensive and there was no indication that this would change in the near future.
Today I made a decision, my husband encouraged me. (For the record....he is to blame....) 😍
I bought the Samsung Galaxy Tablet S8 Ultra with 14,6" screen. A dream device. Looking forward to it. I expect it in 3 days. 🤩

I looked up the S8 Ultra's specifications and the ones which interest me the most are Android 12, upgradeable to 13 and 8-16 GB RAM. Congratulations donkeyfan.

EturtleThanks for your response. Yes, I absolutly understand your panic. That's really a terrible experience. You are right. You usually don't write down all these things. And so many years after starting nobody knows this. donkeyfan: Ohh, great device. But really expensive. I'm sure you will like it. Could you get a special offer with extras? Sometimes there are promotions and you can get the keyboard case for example. I choosed the smaller one. The Ultra is too much for me. Both the prize and the size. For me it is too big for daily use. I like it more handy. But the display is so great in each size. So colorful and sharp. It is a pleasure to use it. And the spen is such a great feature. All the great functions! It also helps me so much to being here. My pen can translate words I don't know simply by overview the word. (after starting the function, of course).

Dear member,
thank you so much for your kind words. I am so happy about it. I bought the device with WLAN because I use it only at home. It's too heavy for mobile experience. My "old" tablet will do this for me, I still use it, but of course mainly the S8 Ultra.
Currently there are no special offers, sadly. Furthermore Samsung has become greedy. They don't deliver a possibility for charging the device. Fortunately I have a charging cable from my present device. This will be sufficient for the time being.
And yes, the great display is awesome. I had the opportunity to admire it when I visit my sister-in-law. BTW, I told her today that I couldn't withstand any longer and bought it. 😍😍😍
I can't wait to see my farms on the great and super-sharp and brilliant display. I will also enjoy a second game which I am playing regularly. (Hogwarts Mystery).

I bought a new IPAD and transferred the old one. Guess who forgot to backup her data, yes me. My IPAD updates every morning at 12am. I finished up the derby with 3 scrolls and 3 puzzle pieces when I woke up. IPADS sit next to each other and automatically transfer. As soon as it started I remembered I hadn’t backed it up to the cloud. I was flipping out. I just knew I had lost those rewards. Then the old IPAD said it was backing up to the cloud. I keep my fingers crossed when I opened the new IPAD, and yes, my game was current with the rewards from the derby. I just wanted to let anybody with IPADS to know, Apple really thinks outside of the box when it comes to “PEOPLE MAKE MISTAKES “. I’m not text savvy and it was really easy. Someone said their game was jerky, mine was too, not now. I’m one happy farmer ❣️❣️❣️😁😉

I have always played Hay Day on an Apple IPad. I tried it on a Samsung A7 ( I think) but the graphics were noticeably poorer compared to IPad, so I waited til I felt like I could part with the $ for a new IPad.
I used to have 2 devices, one for each of my farms, but Supercell ID made it super easy to play both farms on one device, so I sold them on Gazelle, and put that $ toward the new I pad.
I do have my main farm on my Android phone, but the screen is too small to be comfortable, so I run Hay Day on it only when I need to finish a derby task (for example) and I have to be away from home. My iPad is WiFi only.

Did anybody notice some graphics becoming more blurry, but not all, and Sounds less diversified? I mean on old devices. Like the typical production building noise is the same for all buildings and in town, there’s only one voice for males ans one voice for females. I am curious how the game changes on a new device, which long lost features might come back.
The game still runs smoothly on my very old iPad.

I have all the sounds turned off, so I wouldn’t notice any change in the sounds if any occurred. However, I thing I had an IPad 2 when I started playing this game, and the game did run ok, but when I finally got a new IPad, (it might have been Ipad 6), I did notice that the graphics were much improved on the new device.

I will also enjoy a second game which I am playing regularly. (Hogwarts Mystery). Yesterday I was in a local eletronic shop, because I wanted to see new phones. (Need a new one, but can't decide what I should choose.) They also had the Ultra there. Wow. I wasn't aware that 14" are so big. Is it still a tablet or is it already a little notebook. 🤣 You are right. Samsung has become greedy. The prize and the power sometimes don't match, in my opinion. Especially at there phones. Delivering phones partly with big issues in the highend sector is unacceptable (for me). The missing charging tool is a new trend. But there are many companies that don't deliver a charging tool with there devices. Unfortunatally meanwhile it is something special if they do. But on the other side you often can get good offers for Samsung devices. I'm really surprised that you didn't get one. For their current devices there are great promotions from samsung most of the time. Sometimes free keyboard cover or earbuds. For their phones sometimes double memory. Have you checked the samsung page? At the moment (started on June, 19th) there are smart deals which gives you the galaxy buds for free and the option to buy the keyboard cover for a special prize.

squirrelYes, I saw the special offer from Samsung regarding the Galaxy buds but decided to give it a pass. I have no use for the buds and honestly I'd have preferred a charging possibility. The screen is great, it's already a little notebook. 🙂

donkeyfanYes, absolutly agree with you. As I bought my new tablet - the "little sister" from yours 😉 - I also read some reviews. And there it was mentioned, that the tablet comes without a charging power supply. I was really surprised and dissapointed about that fact. They say the reason is, that so many people already have enough power supplies and they want to save the enviroment. For me this is only a lame excuse. I don't have enough. And my power supplies are all with a usb a connection. And what does they deliver? A cable for usb c to usb c. Very funny! If they really decided it by reason of enviroment, they could give us the option to choose what we need. With oder without. Of course for the same prize. I'm also with you by the buds. I wouldn't need it, too. But the special prize for the keyboard cover is really great. This is really a must-have for me. I got mine with the keyboard cover (of course the smaller one. The Ultra has a better one). For me it is really a game-changer. I'm so glad I have it. It works pretty well and is so light and slim.

FYI:
Package arrived today, but the box was damaged, the Samsung seal as well. Definitely not a new device. There were several signs of wear on the box such as filthy fingerprints and scratches. I return it and don't order a new one.
I am so disappointed, no words. In the moment I am therefore not in the mood to order the tablet a second time.

The option to choose what kind of charger we need, or none (and have it included for the same price) would make so much sense! Would love that.
