Restore wi-fi saved networks from google

[hercegyu]

In all infos on phone it says that if you enable auto restore in Settings => System => Backup & Restore that it should restore saved wifi networks from google backup, but it dose not. Tryed also to toggle auto restore, but still no luck. Did anyone make that sync work?

Did you chose "set up new device" or restore from some old one? Tnx

Never use setup a as new device or you wont be able to pull anything down afterwards. I remember reading it on a google thing once that only when you setup the phone it has to be installed from the google Backup. In saying that i did setup via Phone clone which was useless and when that finished it did ask me if i wanted to install from Google Backup. All other phones I've used only let you do it once.

If you reset your phone back to new then start again it will ask you if you want to pull from the backups.

Yes and then it'll pull this backup...not that one from old phone

No not at all, I had an S8+ as my last phone. Cracked my screen and had to get it replaced, i used my old S5 while it got fixed and also Motorola Maxx. The thing i did find out was when i used my Moto (Kitkat) it didn't find the S8+ backup. Same thing with the S5 it only showed me the Moto back up. But when i got my S8+ back it had the Moto, S5 the old S8+ Backup. When i got my Mate 20 Pro it showed me 2 x S8+backups, S5 and Moto backup. E.g S8+ 28 oct backup and also 9 Nov Backup.

So you should have the old back up still there. The only thing i found was that if you have older version of Android you can't use newer version to pull backups from.
Hope this helps.

Isn't it exactly reversed - you cannot recover a backup from a newer version than your restoring to ?

Yes sorry mind fart. Old Phone Android 8 backup -> Android 8 or 9 will see it and ask if you want that one but you can't see Android 8 Backups on Android 7 Phone.

Still it's so strange that you can't restore only wifis from some tool

The only way i found was with droidkit, a program only available for computer. The second solution is reseting the phone and recover the old backup, but first backup your current data.
