Is there any way to re-run the initial autonooter registration steps (the ones that start 'Skip "Set up your Google Account"') without doing a full-reset?
I did a full factory reset on my NC and upgraded to 1.0.1. When I autonooted, I messed up and hit the "Home" button right around the "Google Account" step, which sent me back to the main screen. I didn't get a chance to finish up all the additional steps (starting with the "Google Location" step, I think).
I tried just re-nooting and it never took me back to the registration screen.
Overall, I don't think I am having an issues that others are not having (can't delete a 2nd Gmail account, can't do shortcuts on home screen, etc) and things like the Market do work.
Do I need to worry because I didn't finish the autonooter steps? If I do, how do I run it without a full factory reset?
Thanks!
I have a Nexus 5 with L and app/data backup turned on. It's also rooted and running faux kernel, no other mods.
When I tried to use tap & go restore with my new N6, everything appeared to be fine, but after I hit OK on setting up Google Now, a little notification comes up saying "Couldn't restore backup."
Anyone else have this issue?
UPDATE: I flashed the stock kernel and unrooted and it's still not working ... I thought this was supposed to be easy?
I think on the old phone you need to have the Back Up my Data set to backup to the Google Servers. First time i used it, only my google account got transfer'd (setting wasn't checked on my old phone). I checked it and tried again after I unlocked it and the phone wiped and the second time it worked better. When I touched them it asked me which device I wanted to restore (I had my N6 from before and my S4e showed up this tmie as well). All my play store apps installed, some of them the data migrated others didn't.
Thanks @lordgodgeneral.
Not sure if my N5 hadn't properly synced or what, but I left the N6 on for a bit and ended up getting a system update. After the system update I did a oem unlock. After the oem unlock, the restore worked. I'm doubtful that it was the oem unlock, so either the system update fixed it or my N5 was able to properly sync/back itself up to Google servers.

Yesterday, I turned on "back up my data" and "automatic restore" under settings->Backup & reset. However, my apps still did not transfer over. How do I make sure Google Servers has my apps? Do you have any other suggestions? Thanks
Tried looking up a few vids on Tap & Go, but none answered the question I have. I know it restores from an old phone, but exactly what gets restored? Is it just Google accounts that you log into on the previous phone, and all of the Google settings associated with those accounts? Or does it restore any phone settings at all? I know it can do WiFi settings, but does it do anything with deeper settings like power saving settings, stuff like that? Basically hoping it restores the Google accounts and then the phone itself is still at the default settings it has right out of the box if Tap & Go hadn't been done.
Also, does it happen to transfer pics and all that too?
Does anyone know if Tap and Go can be used if it was skipped during the initial set up? I'm having trouble figuring it out, because I skipped it out of the chute

I bumped by N5:
Restored everything. Apps, widgets, placement on home screen, WiFi passwords, etc. Didn't restore my car's BT sync, but that's about it.

I bumped a galaxy S3. Only restored apps, widgets and placement. Didn't restore any of my app information like logins or things like my text messages. Seems like a cool concept similar to iCloud, but doesn't seem like a full transfer.
I'm having a similar Tap & Go issue. Tried to move from Nexus 5 to Nexus 6 on Tmobile. Tap & Go failed the first time, but the second time it says it completed and had me sign in to my google account, but nothing transferred over to the N6.
Android 5.0.1 update eventually downloaded and installed, but still no account transfers. Maybe I'll try to reset the N6 and try it over again.
Can't find anyway to restart Tap and Go after its done the first time. Doesnt appear to be a way without resetting the device.
UPDATE:
After I reset the new Nexus 6 device, and retried Tap & Go during device setup, it worked this time. So far it looks like it transferred apps and home screen widgets and layouts. Haven't dug in to see what else it transferred yet, waiting on apps to finish installing.
Not sure why it needed a device reset and a 2nd attempt. Maybe it needed the Android 5.0.1 update that installed after the first attempt, but that doesn't make sense why that would matter. I did set my N5 screen not to timeout for 5 minutes (had it at 1 min before). So maybe the N5 locking in the middle made it fail, but again, no proof that was really the case. btw, both my devices are just bland stock android 5.0.1 .... i haven't rooted or anything.

Lucky you! I tried 1/2 dozen times, no luck.
I went back to manually logging in (no NFC T&G) then choosing the backup manually and letting it install. This went ahead and started installing apps .
The only issue was although it was backed up in settings my 2nd Nexus 6 didn't appear in the backup list, only the previous Nexus 5 that I had to restore from, this was still ok and quicker than manually installing one by one,
I would skip Tap & Go, put in my google account Username and Pass, then you should see the following if you are using Android 5.x

I tried this twice and both times it successfully downloads all the apps I had on my other device but none of the app data. Am I missing something? How did it work for you? Did it take a while to populate the apps with the right data after all the apps were downloaded?
Hasn't worked on my new 6P that I'm trying to switch from my N6. Google hasn't been able to help me yet either.
My nexus 6 won't work either when trying. I just setup the longer way. Was probably better off anyway. Used Google services to backup contacts etc and then helium to backup txt n stuff. Helium sucks and had to do a work around to get it to work but worked.

Success eventually - Software Levels
I couldn't get this to work between my old Droid Turbo and my new one. In the end I realized that the new one needed several system updates to bring it up to the same level as the old one. Once I did that, then did a factory reset on the new one, I tried again and Tap & Go worked.
Hi All,
Since my P9 got upgraded to EMUI5/Android 7 I am experiencing problems with Google Play.
-When on Wifi aeverything works perfectly BUT
- When on mobile network, GooglePlay Market can search, display results, pictures and etc but does not download anything, either new apps or updates to existing. It's just stuck in "Donwloading" but there is no progress, and the speed shown in my P9 status bar is 0B/s.
- All the other applications work on Mobile Network with no problems, i.e. I can browse, and etc.
Here's what I tried so far:
- Made sure both the Market and corresponding Service are given full trust + all permissions are granted,
- Both Market and its service have full data access (i.e. Mobile 4G and usual, WLAN, Roaming),
- Cleared all cash and data for both Market and its service,
- Removed my account, restarted the phone, re-added the account.
- Enabled data plan with stellar limit, added Market to exclusion from the plan, removed data plan (i.e. unlimited data).
- Checked permissions and access log to see if anything asked for something that was denied. Nothing.
- Contacted Huawei Support, heard I need to do steps above. Did them all again.
- Found on the internet some ideas about some settings that need to be changes in "Downloads" app to allow big files. But my downloads app doe snot have such setting.
- Found out that there should be some "Download Manager" app, found it in Service list, but there's no app with that name so I can't really open it.
Nothing works. That Market just wouldn't work on Mobile. It does not ask for anyhting, does not complain. Just gets stuck in "downloading" and does nothing, but on WiFi it works perfectly.
Please help!
PS. Everything worked before upgrade to EMUI5/Droid 7.
Phone info: Chineese bought P9-AL00, set to English language, All google apps downloaded and installed via the HiApp and then the Market. Upgrade to EMUI5/Droid7 was legit OTA upgrade (not some custom flash).
I experienced kinda the same problem. Go to Settings > Mobile data > Networked apps > System apps. Is Download Manager checked or unchecked? I had unchecked this by a mistake and it wouldnt let me download apps from Google Play store (stuck on downloading). Now that the checkmark is there i have no problems.
Nope, everything is OK there.
BTW, I got reply from Huawei Support. They say they don't know what the problem is and that I should talk to the vendor of Google Play. Very helpful.
Update: tried Factory reset. Installed Google Play from HiApp onto freshely rested P9 - same thing, n downloads from Mobile network.
Device: Xiaomi Mi A2 Android One
ROM: Stock Google Android 9 Pie
I recently had to do a hard factory reset on my Android One Xiaomi Mi A2 phone. After reset a particular notification keeps insistently reappearing - it is from two different apks that are part of the stock ROM/OS - Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) and Android setup (with a gear icon). Both the apks have the same name but different icons and listed separately. They can be found by clicking on Settings>Apps & notifications>See all apps>Show system. I am currently on Android 9 Pie.
The notification from Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) gives two options - connect to WiFi or Use Mobile Data. On choosing either option it takes me to a white screen that has a gear symbol/icon on top and right below it it says PREPARING FOR SETUP... and below that it says YOU CAN FINISH SETTING UP YOUR Mi A2 SOON... At the bottom of this screen it has a rectangular Start button but that remains greyed out. I waited two days on this but it remained same. I did hard reset numerous times and re-setup phone but issue would not go away.
So then I did a reset from Recovery/Hard Reset again. Then I did the following in the order I mention - Set-up the phone as new / Chose Do not back up data or apps from previous save - Unchecked all apps that I had earlier that Google was trying to reinstall automatically after reset as per backed up info of my device on Google servers. Once phone was on homescreen I went to PlayStore and updated Google Play Services first thing. Then I installed all available updates. Then manually reinstalled all apps I earlier had on my phone one by one. After all this, notification from Android Setup (with a circular arrow timer icon) reappeared and same issue - whether I choose Use Mobile Data or connect to wifi it would just take me to PREPARING FOR SETUP screen and stays there with Start button greyed out and notification bar indicators showing no data being transmitted up or down.
So then I went into settings, force stopped it (Android Setup with a circular arrow timer icon) and deleted cache and data for this apk. Left it overnight. In the morning I see that there is the same notification but this time from the Android Setup (with a gear icon) and the only option is connect to wifi. Upon connecting to wifi it takes me to the same PREPARING FOR SETUP screen with start button greyed out and does nothing. So this time I went into settings and forced stopped this (Android Setup with a gear icon) system apk and deleted its cache. Delete data option is greyed out, although it shows some data is stored. This makes notification go away but once I reboot phone it reappears.
I have done research online and many others have faced this exact same issue, exact same PREPARING FOR SETUP screen. But many different handsets, many different roms. Most common solution offered online was to delete cache and data for Google play Services and PlayStore. That was of no help in my case. Mine is a completely stock Android One 9 Pie rom, strictly no mods whatsoever. I doubt this has anything to do with the phone manufacturer, because they would not mess with those system apks I have mentioned earlier. It seems connected to Play Services apk and backed up phone settings/information on Google servers. Might have something to do with RESTORE DATA AND SETTINGS WHEN APP IS REINSTALLED setting option in the Android OS. I attempted to delete backed-up device settings, passwords and app info backed up on Google's servers, and then did a reset again and set up as new, but problem is still there.
Any help/info/etc. you can provide about this would be much appreciated ...

Why do you want to use a beta Pie ? Just restore Oreo

No its not Beta Pie. Its a full public release, updated through OTA.
I have seen this problem mentioned in Nexus, Pixel and Oneplus6 Forums as well (among others) so not sure if it is specific to Pie ...
SOLVED
After all the steps mentioned in original post, heres what I did - Went into my Google account and removed phone from devices listed under my account. Reset phone. Set up - as new (chose do not restore backed up setttings/apps/data)(did this setup with wifi). Towards end of setup Google still tries to reinstall some apps that were installed before, so tapped on REVIEW APPS and unchecked all checked apps. Three apps were still listed with no option to unselect. Continued. Got to home screen. Problem notification appeared. This time tapped on USE MOBILE DATA option on the notification. It did not go to problematic PREPARING FOR SETUP screen but went to another screen that said installing 3 apps (the 3 apps that could not be unchecked as I mentioned earlier), and after a few minutes of seeming to be stuck, just completed on its own!
PROBLEM SOLVED. Mentioning everything done in detail in the hopes that it will help someone else. Cheers!!:good:

Realise this thread is a little old, but I had the same problem and did not want to reset the phone again. I am using LineageOS 16.0
Most of the solutions appear to be little more than try again.
I found the following work:
When the option comes up, go back ("<") key from the screen that shows a grey "Start" button. This should give the WiFi options. Click the WiFi which is connected, and then click Advanced. Change Metered from Automatic to Unmetered. Click finish / ok as necessary and it should then work.
I can only assume that Android is detecting the connection is metered therefore refusing to do the final setup. Hope that this helps someone!
Don't forget to set the connection back to automatic / metered if applicable!
What i did and helped is that i deleted the Google account, restarted the phone and the Update went through.
what worked for me - i had to install gapps first and then just factory reset in twrp - a20 205w - running lineageos16

Thanks A NEast, it works on my Nokia 6.1 Plus
Just change the Wi-Fi options from automatic to unmetered
I'm very chuffed with Pie so far, only issue I have is that if I deactivate Find my Device in settings, when I restart my phone its reactivated itself, anyway (maybe through adb) to deactivate permanently? I see also that in Settings, Accounts that the Duo account will be re-added every time you reboot your phone, even if you remove the account...any adb method to disable this too? thanks

I would urge others to check their devices, if they deactivate find my device and then reboot their phone, to see if it then has reactivated on its own...
I have the same issue. Cannot deactivate Google's Admin Access, so basically anyone who gains access to your google account can easily remotely wipe the phone with nothing you can do to disable it.
