Restoring apps? - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey, im just jumping from X Play to X style and i want to restore all apps with "one tap", but i declined to connect to Wi-Fi when I launched for first time, so it even didnt Ask for my Google account passes etc. Can i still re-install all my apps from X Play, or i need to do factory reset on X style?

If your google account can "see" your phone...your in the clear.
you have to log in your google account ,with your new phone or else it won't work.

[Q] messed with Framework to force 4.3 OTA, serious troubles with play store account!

So i was clearing frameworks service on my nexus 4 and nexus 10 to try to force the OTA update. I found out the hard way that this is stupid and can seriously harm stuff.
First of all, i got problems with play store. I got errors when downloading app updates from google play.
After searching for a solution i found that I had to remove my google account from my phone and then add it again. That worked.
However once I updated to 4.3(didnt get the OTA so i used the adb method) the problems came back - it would not sync my primary account.
So i deleted again the account, cleaned framework and google play data.
Now it looks like i seriosuly f* up things. I can log in to google play but all my installed apps are gone (under "my apps")
When i login to the web version, both my nexus 4 and nexus 10 have disappeared from my devices. It only lists my old ones, that i dont have anymore.
Under "all apps" i do still see my app history (incl purchases), so at least some data was saved.
Is there anyhting i can do to
1. link my devices
2. see my installed apps?
Thanks in advance.
-edit: SOLVED!
Here's what happened - by deleting my primary account, a secondary account became the primary one so all app data was linked to that one.
I deleted all other accounts except the primary one, and with that app data was again linked to the primary account.
Do a hard reset.

[Q] Unable to install any app

I began having an issue earlier today with Google Play where I got an unknown error 110. I thought maybe it was just bad connection, but I still had the issue on WiFi. I looked around for about an hour for solutions, and found two common and relevant fixes - clear Google play cache and factory reset. I tried the first and there was nothing to clear. I then tried to install a 3rd app and it failed to open the .apk. I also made sure my phone allowed unknown sources, and my settings crashes every time I hit security. After all of this failing, I decided to factory reset, and everything is still the same, except the Google Play error is now 406 with the same effect. Is there a good way to get this fixed?
Currently using Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-I545 with 4.4.2.

Well go to settings--> Application manager-->Find Google Play Store-->Clear Defaults and Clear Data and see if it works.

Already tried that, both before and after the factory reset. Both buttons are greyed out. I also was forced to re-add my Gmail account after the reset. Both my usual and backup Gmail accounts have the issue in the Google Play store.

Is your play services upto date?? Need a playstore and playservices apk?
The best thing is to wait. ^_^
It shall resolve on its own.

I still cannot open any .apk file manually, giving the error "unable to open file". I'm not sure waiting for Google Play to update will fix this. Also what about settings->security crashing?

Hard Reset : Google Play services which some of your applications rely on not support

Since the last hard reset I did, I bought a song on Google Play Music for the first time. So this morning I do a hard reset on my Samsung Galaxy S4 (updated to 5.0.1) and go through the install steps, add my Google account and everything goes fine. Then the phone checks for updates, tells me I have several (which is normal). Then it shows a notification ""Google Play services which some of your applications rely on is not supported by your device Requested by Google Play Music" and I can't access the store anymore. Instead, I'm asked to add my Google account again the same way I would have to if I didn't add it during initial set up.
Thinking this was odd, I tried hard resetting it again to see what it would do and I get the same problem.
What happened? How can I stop this from happening?
OK seems like it's just a question of updating Google Service. The fact that it's not up to date make my phone remove my account it seems.

Skipped copy from old phone on setup, now can't get it any more

Hi!
I had lots of trouble with my S7edge and did lots of flashing and resetting. At some point on 6.0.1 after factory reset I went quickly through the initial screens and was very surprised to get at some point a long list of accounts offered that I could transfer to this phone (they are not showing in my Google account now, it was Yahoo and such things). Those accounts were from an older Galaxy on the same account. I skipped that and wanted to use it later.
Now I updated to 8.0.0 and even on inital setup such a screen or offer never showed.
Any idea where I could find this? The strange thing is that I had Google cloud copies disabled wherever I could but assumed to have surely missed to deactivate sometime somewhere. Since the phone was totally wiped multiple times this data can only have come from the one Google account I used. But if I go to e.g. restore contacts it is empty as expected.
Where did Google/the phone find this rather exhaustive list of accounts from my other phone?
Google backups can only be restored on setup. So you have to factory reset to get those options again.

Oh wow - another fail there. The thing is I did not notice that option on the last reset after installing an Oreo system. Any reason why it wasn't offered? I think I removed the google account before upgrade and did the initial setup with signing up so as to not run into more trouble with FRP. So I guess not signing in with a google account in the setup screens - but hitting skip - will cancel any chance of restoring?

If you factory reset again, since there's no Google account on the phone if I understand you correctly, it will ask you again on setup. Don't you have other backups?

It's not about backups, I just wondered why it offered me restore in the first place despite me thinking all cloud backup was disabled. But then when I actually wanted to try and see what is backed up I can't without resetting the phone again. And I'm even doubtful it will ask again as it did not ask after the last ROM upgrade.

Can't backup the phone to Google

Hi guys so I have huge problem, I wanted to move my GF's phone to a new one, I started setting up the new phone, but it didn't show me no backup.
So on the old phone (motorola moto x style) I:
1. enabled backup option
2. chose the account the data would be backed up to
3. synced the account in accounts setting
aaaaaand...nothing happened.
Google drive shows "Your device is not backed up" Why is that? I can't see no option to manually force/trigger the phone to backup, I'm on wifi, fully charged. Had anyone this problem? What can I do? I spent already 2 hours on google support chat but, they asked me to talk to motorola...
