When I got my N7 and signed in it automatically loaded the same as apps as on my phone. I just did a bootloader unlock. I knew that it would erase the device, but I assumed it would reload my google/play apps after I signed in just like it did out of the box originally.
In fact it did hook up my gmail, and reload my wifi passwords, but not the apps. Is there something I can do other than reload them one at a time?
You reload them one at a time. When you setup your Nexus 7, all it did was sync your passwords. It didn't load any apps.

In some cases after doing a wipe and installing a new cyanogenmod ROM, after signing in with my Google account, it automatically restores some system settings (notably my WiFi WPA keys) and automatically reinstalls most of my market apps. This time it didn't. Also, it doesn't seem to do so with the stock ROM.
What determines when this does or doesn't happen and is there any way to force a restore?
Thanks!
You could try going to settings-accounts-and sync all with your google account. Otherwise it may have been some weird fluke
Yeah, I tried that but it didn't do anything.
My theory is the first time you sign in with a new ROM google thinks it's a new phone. So it restores all of your applications automatically. But if you go back to a ROM you have used before it thinks everything is still on the phone so it doesn't push anything.
Thus a 3rd party back up app is needed if you flop ROMS alot.
I guess that makes sense. Although, the phone itself has a factory reset option, so you would think there would also be an option to restore certain settings on any clean phone. Something Google needs to work on. I have everything back anyway through Titanium Backup, but I'm reluctant to restore system settings like WiFi passwords. I'll just have to put them back manually, which isn't so bad thanks to lastpass...
Are you using a 2.3.4 rom? I thought I read that there were some issues with google restore and 2.3.4 but I could be wrong.
Yes, I'm on 2.3.4...
The usual problem - I flashed a custom ROM, signed into my gmail account, then restored the backup of my main ROM,
Now I can't install apps from a PC browser on G Play, it works fine on the phone, just not from the PC
I've cleared cache, data of play store and google services from the phone
Remove my account and re-added it
Removed all devices permissions from my account and set them back up
rebooted the phone
Ive run out of ideas, anyone know what's up?
The device shown in my account is saying it's last access was the 26th, which was about when I flashed that custom ROM, so I'm guessing it's still not seeing my current ROM even after all of that
PITA Google, why make things so complicated ?
Anyone know how to remove that old device and force it to see my current one?

I've fixed it, there was no error, it just refused to detect the phone at all, when I pressed INSTALL on the website, it only gave options of my old April 26th ROM, not my current one
Finally after booting to recovery and clearing all caches, then opening Play store app on the phone, it finally (After 20 tries) detected the phone again and works as it should
That's 2 days of using my phone, that the play store web version failed to detect the phone at all
Come on Google, get it sorted, this has been going on for years, I remember the same problem back in 2012 with my tablet
Hi guys, so this happened after changing the SIM card, I'm using the international N9005 variant, unlocked, running stock 5.0
About a third of my apps disappeared from both the home screen and the app drawer, including my google account in the accounts tab in the settings. Also, I keep getting the "Unfortunately, X has stopped" for a bunch of apps(Google Play Newsstand, android.process.media, S Planner, Internet, Contacts Storage, Settings). The missing apps show in the application manager with the android logo icons and take up 0.00B, they were all installed on the phones internal memory.
I did a reboot, wiped cache partition and it didn't help. I'd do a factory reset, but i can't remember the last time I've synced my data.
Any help will be appreciated, thanks.
Mate, what did occurred first?
You Factory Reset your phone and the Apps were gone?
Because that's how it works.
Also, did you tried to put back the old Sim just to check?
but then again, you Factory Reset your phone already. So, the probability to have the App's back is gone.
I'm having an issue with my daughters XT1609 that she's been using as a Wifi only device with her Google account. I cannot get it to back itself up to Google drive so that when I replace it with a XT1607 and get to the setup part to transfer to a nearby device that it'll reinstall everything.
When I go to the backups section of her Google drive there isn't anything in there. I did this exact same proceedure to my sons phone, exact same models, and it worked perfectly and he does have a backup on google drive.
I have Settings>Backup and Reset>Back up my data turned on and the right backup account selected. Auto restore on
I also have Settings>Accounts>Google>her account and all items syncing (manually synced numerous times)
I've reset the new device, numerous times, trying to get to "Set up nearby device" again but I never even get to the part that shows me how many apps will be installed. It just zips right through and says it was successful. Both phones are on identical software versions and like I said, this worked perfectly for my son but his G-drive shows a recent backup.
Is there anyway to force a back-up or fix why this won't actually back up?
It also happens to me
Hi!
I recently bough Oneplus 8T. I was using it for about 2 weeks. Everything stock, no modifications. Today (13 March, 2022) I unlocked bootloader ( and before entering fastboot to unlock the bootlader, I didn't manually delete google account from it). It worked OK. I booted into the same OS, logged in. Everything was working. Then I followed THIS guide to downgrade from OxygenOS 12 to OxygenOS11. I downloaded the Apk for local update, then downloaded the Downgrade package, inserted that package to this app, it loaded successfully and then I rebooted (again, I didn't delete Google account manually). It worked well: first it booted into recovery and wiped data itself, then rebooted again into OxygenOS 11. Now here's the problem. I connected to the Wifi, moved forward, and then I had a prompt "Verify PIN. Your phone was reset to factory settings. To use this phone, enter your previous PIN." The thing is, I'VE NEVER SET UP ANY PIN CODE. I WAS ALWAYS USING THE SAME PATTERN. But I noticed "Use my Google account instead" below this message. I thought, "thanks God". I clicked that, I entered my gmail, my password ( I'm using only 1 gmail, I've never had any other gmail). I logged in to Google account successfully, but it says "Please sign in using one of the owners accounts to continue" and jumps back to the google account login prompt. Well, I am the only owner, because It's brand new phone, I also use only one gmail, so I couldn't missmatch accounts. In this moment, my phone is just useless piece of metal and glass. I can't use it. Can anyone help me please? Thank you in advance.

[EDIT] Google is so smurfing smurf. They just make noobs like me go crazy, and get heart attack, in fear of loosing phone. All I did was followed THIS video, which uses "exploit" to enter chrome-> settings -> disable google play services, and then you can log in normally, and factory reset within system, which removes google account properly. LOL
