My Android phone, Huawei P8 Lite, developed a serious fault and had to go away to be repaired. The fix was only possible with a full factory reset and no data could be downloaded before the reset. I have therefore lost all my contacts, email addresses, photos and installed apps. I was under the impression that everything was saved on Google servers but can't seem to find out how to restore it to the phone. All I do know is, that it must be done within 30 days. Can anybody help.
Anything you've backed up should become available as soon as you log into your Google account on your phone. (More accurately, it will start to be downloaded at that point. If there was a lot of data it might take some time for that to happen).
Thanks Buenchico, I was sure that my phone was synced to my Google account, unfortunately the settings instructions on my phone don't match the instructions you linked to. I'll keep trying. I did get the Google site to say it would restore to 14 days ago but nothing's happened.
