had a droid razr last week, got a s5. logged in and all my apps downloaded.

phone was bad, went to bestbuy to exchange for another. (they had to put another sim card in as well)

got home, went to play, asked me to log in, did so, but not downloading all my apps.

went to play.google.com, it sees there are 2 s5s, i can manually force it to install apps, but a pita to do for each one!

anyway to force this to work automatically? thanks
 
Hi Boatman,
To install multiple apps from your 'My apps' > 'ALL':
Simply touch down on one of the apps listed (not installed) for 1-2 seconds. Now scroll through and touch on all the ones you want (or touch again to deselect) and then click 'INSTALL'.

Find the Backup & reset under settings. Check your settings.
