Help How to automatically download apps after factory reset?

[ergalthema]

I just factory reset my Verizon S6. None of my apps are downloading. How do I automatically download all the apps I had?

Have you logged back into your old google account?

Yup as long as you had them set to be backed up in settings, backup and reset (i think that's set by default) then when you log into the fresh phone there should be a checkbox asking if you want to restore apps.
If you aren't on wifi I think you have to confirm that you want to use mobile data. (i actualy just went through all this lastnight)

I logged into my Google account during setup. There was no message about not being on WiFi, etc. I never unchecked anything about auto restore, etc. before the factory reset... this sucks.

Actually, now I remember seeing a list where I could select which apps to download. I left them all checked. When I try to manually install any apps, I get a server error - on WiFi or cell data, so there must be a problem with the store or something.

When you go to play, tap the 3 line (burger) menu button and tap "my apps" is anything happening?

Did a second factory reset. Some apps downloaded, many didn't (including Android Device Manager)... wtf. Installing manually, individually... this sucks.
