Yes, the backup was a day before the water damage, 16th April, but says incomplete as in the screeshot. Thanks

Hi, thanks for the reply. I went to the Google photos url you suggested, same deal. A year of photos missing. As you can see by the screenshot the cloud drive has a file for photos, it's just not full. Doesn't make sense to me if there's a regular auto backup to the photos cloud. I do have...

Hi, I tried to apply it during set up on the new phone, which was factory reset. Please see attached screenshot. Perhaps I should activate the Samsung version though. I do expect my photos, stored on a Google app and storage paid for, to be regularly backed up automatically to their cloud. Not...

Hi, Unfortunately no, I checked. I use almost exclusively Google apps, it photos/gallery. Just don't understand why there isn't a more recent back-up file via Google Drive cloud, automatically. Thanks

Hi there, I hope this is the correct group. My Galaxy S20 got water damaged and died on me a few weeks ago. I had assumed that all my photos and SMS threads would be backed up on Google Drive. All my sms threads are gone and I've lost a year of photos. I cannot restore a recent backup and I...

My bad. I meant rooting lol:confused:

Thanks for the reply. I was thinking of unrooting to maybe remove manually the trojan but I would invalidate the warranty and risk bricking!? I'm correct in saying a ROM is completely device specific isn't it? Doubt there's one around for this device. It's on Marshmallow which is quite old! I...

Oh dear! I have a trojan embedded in the system files of the elecost q10.1 tab and am suffering random reboots. I cannot remove it and think I have to un-root and manually remove or flash a new rom? I ran Stubborn Trojan Killer and Malwarebytes and yes I have a trojan...
