[Q] Galaxy S4 to Note 3 app restore via Google? - Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

So my wife and I just upgraded our Galaxy S4's to Note 3's. When she signed in to Google on hers it started restoring all her apps and stuff that she had on the S4. Mine is not doing that. Anyone know how I can make mine do that without me manually installing each individual app?

when it's your first time to sign in on your google account in your new phone, just check this option and it will autoatically DL all your apps in the new phone. Maybe your wife have checked this option and you did not.

How do google backups work with two phones on the same acct?

I have two phones using the same primary account. I have disabled the backup data to google option, because I don't want my app settings on both phones to be identical. Does anyone know if this backup feature is smart enough to keep the data from different phones separate? Or will my settings be overwritten with settings from the other phone for apps that back up to google?
I have the same account on 3 phones... MT4G, MT3G-Slide (backup phone) and a SamSux Behold 2 that I loaded with games and pulled the Dialer.apk and SMS/MMS.apk out so my 8yr old could have it (she calls it her "Android Touch because iPods suck") and Google backup only restores what was on each particular phone.
Example : I swapped out the ROMs on my MT3G-S today and when I logged into Google it only re-downloaded the apps that were on that phone before I wiped and installed new ROM, it did NOT include any of the apps or games I have on just the MT4G or just on the BH2.
EDIT : if you go to https://market.android.com/ after logging in with your account you will see "My Market Account" click that and on the left you'll see a tab labeled "Settings". when you click that you will see every android phone you have used that gmail account for.
I thought (possibly incorrectly) that "Back up data with my Google Account" only took effect when replacing your phone. For that reason I have it turned off on my 3 devices, but maybe I am being too cautious?

Question about Profiles/User Log-ins on GT 10.1

*Moved from the Samsung Galaxy Tab General forum*
I just purchased a GT 10.1 on yesterday and went through the usual routine of signing in with my Google credentials to set everything up (used for about 2 hours, then applied the Touchwiz update). I'm wondering, is there a way to set up "profiles" or 'users' on the Tab (similar to a Windows PC) that requires a passcode for specific Google accounts, but still allow anyone else to use the tab but not have access to my info? My concern is that all of my gmail, gv, fb, twitter ect data is accessible through the tablet apps since everything is already signed in/synced. Or is my only recourse to use an app that allows passcodes to be placed on individual apps (I'm currently using ZD Box to accomplish this on my N1). I searched the net and hadn't found anything that addressed my question.
that would be awesome. I wondered the same thing but couldn't find anything

Hi
Try Smart App Protector, I've tested and it worked ok, there is a free and paid version as well.
Cheers
Having the ability to have two user logins would be awesome, then I could let my wife/daughter use the tab also. Not that I have anything to hide but would just rather them not have full access to all my accounts.

[Q] Additional market accounts

I have the Galaxy Nexus and have both my old Android account and a new one so that some apps were purchased with one and others with the other account.
OK, I just picked up the 7.7 tab from Verizon and obviously it doesn't have ICS so some things are different. One of those thing is that I don't see how to set up two market accounts so I can get the apps I've downloaded with both accounts.
So, anyone know how to setup two market accounts with Honeycomb?
Brian
I think its not possible with HC

Try clearing data from the Market app in Settings and then signing in with your other account.

Facebook Error - Try single sign-on again

Hi all,
Just setting up my new Note 4 and have come accross this issue.
The error occurs when I go into Settings, accounts, facebook and select Sync with your device. As such I am unable to sync my Calendar information with the S Calendar app.
When trying to perform the sync I receive "Unable to single sign on (SSO) to Facebook at this time" message.
Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
I am having exactly the same problem. Any help will be very appreciated!

Must be down or something. I'm using a galaxy s5 and it was working fine up till yesterday morning when I started to get this same error. Hmm.
Same problem here. Single sign on won;t work for facebook.
Contacs also keeps crushing the last week.
Lolipop is a real mess...
ALso in kitkat says , but with the next update on facebook this message will be gone
I don't think it's a facebook error. Twitter is also unable to SSO with the galaxy app. I am pretty sure it's a Lolipop bug.

I'm pretty sure it isn't the 5.0 lollipop update considering the update isn't available in my stress yet. When there's a new update about to hit, most phones in general start to do the same or something similar. I also have a Note 4 and my bf has a Note 3. I also work on devices frequently. At this point it will continue to be an issue. If you have the Facebook app then you're fine anyway. Just continue checking for further updates. Remember to shut down your device daily for 30 seconds to 1 minute (it's very similar to a computer).
.+1.Me too having the same problem with Facebook since friday. I'm on kitkat with my canadian N4.. I think thst is the Faceboom servers the problem.
Does twitter work? Cause I have iasues with single sign on and twitter also.
I'm also having the same problem since Thursday or Friday, Verizon note 4.. kk.. no other apps having the problem yet. . Very annoying. . .miss not being able ru sync calendar, and photos. ..

I thought it was just me.
I've only just received my Note 4 (Europe) and have the same problem. In my case it all works fine on my old Note 2 and Note 2014 Tablet but not on the Note 4. All my devices have Kit Kat as well.
I hope someone finds a solution as I want to sync my facebook calendar into the S Planner. At present I am keeping my old Note 2 alive for this purpose.
Is this only on Galaxy Devices
I too have this problem on my new S5. My Note 10.1 2014 is still working fine but SSO on the Galaxy S5 just wont work. I have done a factory Reset and still no success. I spoke with samsung which was a total waste of time. Cant wait for someone to find a solution to this.
fix
I to have the note 4 and I completely unistalled Facebook app and forced stop on calender. Reinstalled Facebook app not opening and went back to calender and added new account clicked on Facebook account then signed in. Hope this helps works great now and Facebook is sync with Google calendar.

Update SNS
The cause is an outdated Samsung SNS provider. After updating it to the latest version in Galaxy Apps, it will work.
Did anyone find a fix for this? I'm having the same exact issue on my galaxy s4.
