So I originally went from my Droid to the Thunderbolt. When I was in store as soon as we turned on the Thunderbolt and put in some information all my old apps automatically downloaded onto the thunderbolt, including my last background image as well.

My first thunderbolt's charging port on the phone got bent, and wouldn't charge so they sent me a refurbished one (even though they said brand new) and I have put my sim card and memory card in, put in my info, but none of the apps are automatically downloading. How do I go about doing this? I do not want to manually download every single app I had before..

give it a few minutes---network's can be slow but it should start populating within ten minutes.
mine has taken up to 5 minutes before it shows it's downloading them.
as long as you signed into the phone (in the setup process) using the same gmail account that you used to download all of the apps then it'll work.

also, open up your Market app, accept the policy, then click "my apps" to see if the market is tied to your gmail account. if it's showing your apps--it'll also show them downloading.
