I have been using android since the original Droid, so I am familiar with the system, but I have an issue I can't figure out. Previously, when I would do a factory reset or upgrade to a new phone, when I set up the phone, as soon as I logged into my Google account, my previously installed apps would immediately begin downloading from the play store. When I upgraded from my S5 to my Note 7, this did not happen and I had to manually select each app to download. I double checked in the settings to make sure that "Backup My Data" and "Automatic Restore" were both on. I just changed from a Note 7 to a S7 Edge and the same thing happened. What am I doing wrong?
When I am setting up the new phone, it does give me the choice to place my phones beside each other to transfer stuff, but I am leary of doing anything that transfers apps directly from one phone to another. I prefer installing the apps by downloading them directly from Google Play.
