So after upgrading from Nexus One to Nexus S, I expected all of my Nexus One apps to be automatically restored from google account on Nexus S. But it's not happening. Only 25 out of 100+ apps get restored.
On Nexus One I did wipes multiple times and all apps would restore automatically. Why is it not happening after upgrade to Nexus S?
Under my market account all N1 apps are listed. Nexus One is running CM7. On Nexus S I tried both stock and CM7 and it makes no difference to the restore outcome.
I didnt even know apps would restore.until i updated to 2.3.3 but updating to 2.3.4 didnt auto instal the apps,sadly.any wat to turn this on??

My Nexus restored my apps when I switched from the evo.... it's a market feature but I honestly don't know nor have I searched to try and enable/disable it

From my experience with the desire, only the apps which you have downloaded from the official android market are restored when you sync your phone with a newly flashed rom.

Almost all of the 100+ apps were installed on the old phone via official android market. They all are listed under my market account. But only small subset of them gets automatically reinstalled on a new phone.
The key difference here is that I want them restored on a new phone. When reflashing on the old phone, all 100+ apps get restored without any problems.

It can be turned on/off in the Settings > Privacy -> Back up my data. Also, when first time booting after wipe, the setup wizard shows dialog where this backup/restore can be disabled (it's enabled by default).
I like the feature.. Makes flashing roms cake..
What Google should do though is let you choose WHEN that restore happens and give you the option to start it manually. Coming from a fresh rom it starts the restore process on 3G service. Then you have to rush to flip on Wifi so you're not trying to download 43 apps on Sprints dialup 3G service so a few will be cut out during the transition from 3G to Wifi..
Still beats the crap out of the old way of restoring your apps.
Yeah, there should be google backup/restore native app that gives more control to the user on what and when to backup/restore.
Even better, the web market account should allow to select multiple apps and then send them to the device. Right now this is possible only for one app at a time.
Titanium ftw

The same thing happens on my phone. I disabled it and just use Titanium Backup because the google backup was too unpredictable..
For rooted users, titanium is a good solution. But it sucks that for the non-rooted ones, the feature that is part of the OS behaves so unpredictably.

I have a bigish problem. So I had the HTC desire rom for my nexus one. I then signed in the market. It says that I have a NYC desire. I then flash back stock and cm 6.1.1 but it is still saying I am a HTC desire. How to fix?

I would assume doing a "check in" ?

the site gets device information from when you run the market on your phone, and custom roms show - and - for make and model... it probably has your phone info cached... so either it will soon change to -... or it will stay on HTC desire... solution would be to move to a stock- ish rom... im using GEO's FRF3D rom and it recognizes me corrently

So I guess it'll sync with the last synced rom.

Just one question, I'm on cm 6.1.1. How do I delete my Google account on it and put it back? I no u could do a factory reset but I dont want to lose anything.
I just want this rom be the last synced rom so it'll work on d web market

Loll sorry bout all d replies
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
Let me see if I understand what you're trying to do: you want to sign in to Market again, without deleting anything?
In that case, go to "Settings/Applications/Manage Applications", find Market, clear its data, run it - it'll ask you permissions to sign in.
Of, if you're actually looking to remove the account for whatever reason:
Settings --> Accounts & Sync --> Your Google Account --> Remove Account.

It wont let me. It says that for me to do that I have to do a factory reset. But I don't want to do that, cause ill lost everything
Sent from my Nexus One using XDA App
In that case.... why exactly do you want to delete your account? Have you tried clearing the Market data like Jack_R1 suggested? I'm terribly confused.
Nevermind...to make it work I just clear market data

Does anyone know what it is in a ROM, that when you sign into Gmail, it downloads all your applications that were installed on your device? Ive noticed alot of ROM's lately that are lacking this feature, and was curious as to what allows a ROM to do this.
Thanks
Your market saves all your paid apps. The rest you have to have a backup with like titanium backup

no offense. really, but thats not true. if you use a g2, or nexus s, or cm7, when you sign into gmail ALL your apps re download back to your device
Oh right forgot bout that lol feel kinda dumb... But that is true.

It also happens in the Glacier.
My theory is this. the first time you sign into your Google account via a Android phone it picks up the phone model. and the first time you sign in it figures you just got that phone so it will re-download the apps to that phone. and once you change ROMs and resign in it think "hey this phone already as the apps" so it doesn't kick it to the new ROM.
In any case the best thing to do is use Titanium Backup.
Sounds like a good theory to me.

Check under settings /privacy /back up + auto restore. I believe that's what the initial setup access.
I don't like it, new rom = new app install, just easier to eliminate problems not related to rom.

Yep - it's keyed off of the build signature. Just wait a few days until the market servers are updated for the new build that was OTA'd. This happens with seemingly every OTA (happened on the Nexus One as well). Mainly protected apps will be missing.
happened to me everything synced up except for apps did a factory reset and everything came back. i was pissed when all that showed were my paid apps but after the reset all apps paid and free appeared and restored on their own.
Instead of doing a total data wipe go through settings_apps_manage apps and wipe data and cache for just the market app. alot less headaches ;p

I lost my phone. I tried installing Plan B but haven't gotten a response just yet. Does anyone know if WaveSecure will install remotely? Also, I noticed a feature in the GPS settings that says locate phone when lost or something to that effect. I have ICS beta 7.0 installed fyi. How would I go about using the service?
I installed avast for android root and that **** i tested it and is the **** using my sisters iphone found it asap with sms i like that one it installs on the system root

I know you can find the device with latitude. I don't know how though. You will have to Google that. That's the reason I have where's my Droid app installed. It already saved me twice. One of the best apps ever.
Hi,
Got my Nexus 4 today, currently I have the Samsung vibrant, is it safe to backup (titanium) all apps on the vibrant and restore them on the nexus 4?
Any other tips for migrating?
Thx!

Dunno about titanium, maybe if you were on Jellybean on the other phone. Otherwise i would say that its probably not transferable
Just poked my head in to say that i had the vibrant and its an amazing phone.. Sometimes i even miss it a little lol.
Welcome to the forum, im sure youll love your N4

As long as they are user installed apps there should not be a problem. Don't restore system apps.
It is however not advisable to restore apps from a different OS version. And the phone you have didn't even have ICS.

It would cause ALOT of problems, mainly because reusing apk's can cause errors and force closes. Just back up the data not the apk/app. If anything doesn't work clear data for the app.

Hi,
Currently I am using 4.2.2 on my Vibrant (SlimBean Rom), so it is the same OS.
Well, I've just now setup the phone (I am one of those who use to do a full charge before first boot), and choosed to
restore my google account, besides of settings it is also installing the apps for me. Now somehow it installs only the apps
that I currently have on my phone and not all the apps that I've ever downloaded (maybe I used Titanium to remove market links
the last time I restored my Vibrant phone, dunno).
Anyway, so I am starting clean, which is better I believe...
Thanks!

Hehe, yes, the Vibrant is a great phone, but must admit it is getting old and slowish when running 4.2.2, time to move on...
