When you take out a new phone from the box, you can not just power it up and start cloning stuff from the backup. No, the thing starts posing questions to you. Country, language, Wifi password, and google account. Plug the old phone via cable. Alternatively, recover from cloud backup? There is no exit from the questions to start recovering from backup instead. True, I have not done experiments to try to find a method, maybe it does exist. The closest I have seen is connect working old phone to new one via cable, and the automated initial procedure copies everything it wants instead of using the cloud backup. But the automated procedure has the control, not you. -- Cheers, Carlos. ES🇪🇸, EU🇪🇺;
