What if I lose my nexus s

[krisnicaj]

Im coming from webOS, so If I lose my nexus s 4g and get a new one do I have to re-download all my apps? Or does my Google account save all my info and reinstall everything for me?

Gingerbread supports a backup settings/apps option. If you get a new phone running gingerbread (or say a replacement nexus) yes you can restore all your apps and settings if you enabled the option to back them up. It is under privacy settings.

It does, and it is awesome.

This is awesome, I had no idea it was possible. Another reason why I'm happy I left BlackBerry for Android.

When I hard reset it automatically downloaded all the apps again.

This is mostly true. Your phone settings should be saved and your apps should be downloaded automatically. But from experience, your third party app data will not be restored. For instance, if you have saved data for Angry Birds and get a new phone, the app will download but all your progress will be lost.

That's fine, I would just hate to remember what apps I need to download again.

There are third party apps in the market which allow app data to be backed up for rooted devices.

Since you are not intersted in data, the Settings already mentioned will do. Welcome to Android
