Advice after factory reset Galaxy s5

[Anonymous]

I had to do a factory reset as I was having issues getting 4g after recent updates & I was wondering if there is an app or a way to back up all passwords & the way I have the phone set up so after the reset everything is put back the way it was.

I had made a number of folders with different apps in & they all disappeared so I had to create them again. All my apps were re downloaded but nothing was I had put it. The quick settings had changed back to the default ones, the settings menu wasn’t how I had it etc,

What I’m looking for is some way after a reset to set up all the different options & layout of the phone back the way it was. I had backup set on my phone but it didn’t do as much as I wanted it to do.

Thanks for any help

Too late now but if you had backed up with SmartWatch it would have done what you wanted.
Do it now in case you need to reset again in the future and keep backing up at regular intervals.

@MI5 do you need to own a smartwatch to do that?

**Asking as I've no idea of this and would maybe be useful to know for future reference.**

No it will back up all newish Sammy phones.
Ps. I've just realised it auto corrected. It should say Smartswitch oops

Ah @MI5 that's makes more sense lol... I thought my really scant knowledge was more scant than I thought there for a second...

It made me wonder though I can vouch for auto correct making an ass of me many times....
