Hi,

Probably a simple answer to this question but I thought I'd come on here and ask anyway!

Got my new Nexus 7 last Friday and have only played around with it in the house, connected to my personal WiFi. I arrived in work this morning and was attempting to connect to the works WiFi when I noticed all the previous WiFi locations that my other droid devices (Galaxy S2 etc) have connected to; these were places like my parent's house where I haven't been since Xmas!! So my questions are these really:


1. Do droid devices sync their WiFi location history with Google which is then shared to all Google account related devices?

2. If so, what else does it share?


Thanks in advance.

Wifi locations must be remembered in your Google account. I just updated my phone a couple of weeks ago, and all of my wifi locations from my previous phone were there. I couldn't remember if my Nexus 7 remembered locations from my phone or not, but I was surprised that the new phone had them already.

Yeah, a lot of stuff will sync.

Calendar, Chrome, Contacts, Drive, Gmail, Currents, Photos, Play Books/Magazines/Movies/Music, Wallet

Plus, if you get a new tablet or phone, it will ask you if you want to 'restore' your android device and that loads all of the apps you had installed on your other device.

it syncs mainly 3 things

Android wallpaper
System settings - wifi is probably here
Android Market settings

the list is here under Android devices

apart from that most of google service will be synced like gmail,calender etc.

if you check contacts on sync settings it will sync contacts

Not only are historical wifi locations stored but also wifi passwords too - Are wifi passwords stored in your Google account?
