Samsung Galaxy S6 Auto download apps

[regression]

I just got my S6 and entered my Google account information. I was expecting the Lollipop restore feature to activate, but none of my apps have downloaded. Is there a trick to getting that working?

Yes, I am aware of that, but with my Nexus 5, when I added my Google account, it automatically downloaded every app that was on a previous device.

I'm I the same boat. I was expecting mine to auto download all my old apps too bit it didn't. Not really sure why.

If your previous device had auto backup enabled and you logged in to your Google account during setup, it should have asked if you want to restore settings and apps. Mine did. Came from a Nexus 5.

I've always had problems with this when trying to setup phone while on wifi. I set up on cell service the once it's starts turn on the WiFi.

I ended up doing a factor reset and then got that option, but my Nexus 5 wasn't listed. Just my old Nexus 4... Weird.
