I had to reset my phone and create a new screen lock pin and could not restore old backup during the initial setup as it was requiring the OLD pin. So i was instructed to skip restore and do later.
Now the restore is not happening properly, it's been 3 days since reset. There was no notification to finish setup or in settings.
I have the restore backup in my google drive and I'm using Google One. I can preview the restore and see device settings, sms, and everything that i want restored but it's not happening.
I have learned that I need to reinstall G One and then click restore to bring back the Photos and Media, which it is doing right now but I am still not getting the device settings and call history, SMS, etc restored. I have learned that is Android's Job.
How do I direct android to restore the call history, device settings, apps, etc?
I can see it in Google drive but don't know how to activate it and it is not happening automatically as it has been 3 days since Fresh reset and new Pin was created.
I see this morning that there is a new backup added in google drive of the reset phone (which is not useful as it is a backup of the fresh reset none of the old info i need). This backup does not have the Google One icon behind it as i had not installed One back onto the phone and connected it to my google account, when this backup was created.
thanks for any help
