I wish this was true. <br /> I spent about 4 hours at the Apple and AT&T stores getting my wife a new i-phone after she lost her old one. It was only maybe an hour and a half at the Apple store, but they couldn't transfer the phone account, so they sent us over to the AT&T store. The AT&T store is around the block from the Apple store, so going wasn't a hassle. We had to wait 45 minutes before talking to a person, and then the first person couldn't figure out how to do it - she tried half a dozen times before giving up and calling in a co-worker. He also took a few tries before he could figure out how to do it. Once he figured it out, it took nearly an hour for their back end systems to finish their work.<br /> My wife was halfway to full Karen by the time we were done. I had to remind her not to be rude to poor guy helping us - it's not his fault the back end systems are effed up and they understaff their store.</div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> </div> <div class="uix_reactionBarWrapper"> <div class="reactionsBar js-reactionsList "> </div> <a class="actionBar-action actionBar-action--menuTrigger" data-xf-click="menu" title="More options" role="button" tabindex="0" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true">•••</a> <div class="menu" data-menu="menu" aria-hidden="true" data-menu-builder="actionBarNew"> <div class="menu-content"> <h4 class="menu-header">More options</h4> <div class="js-menuBuilderTarget"></div> <a href="/civis/posts/43325227/report" class="menu-linkRow" data-xf-click="adguest-overlay">Report</a> <a href="/civis/posts/43325227/bookmark" class="bookmarkLink bookmarkLink--highlightable menu-linkRow " title="Bookmark" data-xf-click="adguest-overlay" data-label=".js-bookmarkText" rel="nofollow" data-sk-bookmarked="addClass:is-bookmarked, Edit bookmark" data-sk-bookmarkremoved="removeClass:is-bookmarked, Add bookmark"><span class="js-bookmarkText u-srOnly">Add bookmark</span></a> <a href="/civis/threads/android-will-soon-instantly-log-you-in-to-your-apps-on-new-devices.1504224/post-43325227" class="menu-linkRow" data-href="/civis/posts/43325227/share" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="overlay">Share</a> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="message-footer"> <div class="message-actionBar actionBar"> <div class="actionBar-set actionBar-set--external"> <span class="actionBar-action actionBar-action--vote"> <div class="contentVote js-contentVote 1 " data-xf-init="content-vote" data-content-id="post-43325227"> <a href="javascript:" class="contentVote-vote is-disabled contentVote-vote--up " data-vote="up"><span class="u-srOnly">Upvote</span></a> <span class="contentVote-scores"> <div class="ars_voteScore"> <span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--total is-positive js-voteCount js-voteCount--total" data-score="7">7</span> (<span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--positive is-positive js-voteCount js-voteCount--positive" data-score="16">16</span> / <span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--negative is-negative js-voteCount js-voteCount--negative" data-score="-9">-9</span>) </div> </span> </div> </span> <a href="/civis/threads/android-will-soon-instantly-log-you-in-to-your-apps-on-new-devices.1504224/add-reply?post_id=43325227" class="actionBar-action actionBar-action--reply" title="Reply, quoting this message" data-xf-click="adguest-overlay" data-cache="false">Quote</a> </div> <div class="actionBar-set actionBar-set--internal"> <a href="/civis/posts/43325227/report" class="actionBar-action actionBar-action--report" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="adguest-overlay">Report</a> </div> </div> <div class="js-historyTarget message-historyTarget toggleTarget" data-href="trigger-href"></div> <section class="message-responses js-messageResponses"> <div class="js-replyNewMessageContainer"></div> </section> </footer> </div> </div> <div class="message-cell message-cell--vote"> <div class="message-column"> <div class="contentVote js-contentVote 1 " data-xf-init="content-vote" data-content-id="post-43325227"> <a href="javascript:" class="contentVote-vote is-disabled contentVote-vote--up " data-vote="up"><span class="u-srOnly">Upvote</span></a> <span class="contentVote-scores"> <div class="ars_voteScore"> <span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--total is-positive js-voteCount js-voteCount--total" data-score="7">7</span> (<span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--positive is-positive js-voteCount js-voteCount--positive" data-score="16">16</span> / <span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--negative is-negative js-voteCount js-voteCount--negative" data-score="-9">-9</span>) </div> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article class="message message--post js-post arsPvs--neutral js-inlineModContainer " data-author="uploaded" data-content="post-43325243" id="js-post-43325243"> <span class="u-anchorTarget" id="post-43325243"></span> <div class="message-inner"> <div class="message-cell message-cell--user"> <section itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" class="message-user userExtra--expand"> <div class="message-avatar "> <div class="message-avatar-wrapper"> <a href="/civis/members/uploaded.331518/" class="avatar avatar--s avatar--default avatar--default--dynamic" data-user-id="331518" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" style="background-color: #827717;

My computer is a lot more secure than my phone is, because my OS isn't controlled by an ad agency or anyone interested in delivering ads to my computer. For the record, I also log OUT of whatever I logged into on my phone with very few exceptions. This includes Google, which on the phone means deleting the Google account data. I always keep data and wifi off unless I'm actively using it.<br /> <br /> Needless to say, I back NOTHING up to the cloud. I don't trust cloud so I don't do cloud. I get its utility. I don't trust its security.<br /> <br /> I personally see automating that sign-in process as fraught as fuck, but I can understand how it could be a convenience for those who don't rock it like it's 2009 like I do. <br /> <br /> That said, when I do get a new phone, it's an ideal time to go through what I had, and not restore it if it's something I don't use anymore. LOTS of stuff fall into that category considering I keep a phone for at least five or six years before upgrading. (I leave all the internal devices like location, data, wifi, etc. off unless I'm explicitly using them, and turn them off after I'm done, mostly so my battery lasts longer than 20 hours, but also for the security part of it. You can't hack what you can't get into.)<br /> <br /> A fresh phone merits a fresh start. I'd hate to have my phone automatically restoring the shit I had in the past.<br /> <br /> I presume this active restore feature will be baked into a future version of Android, an update being pushed to select phones near us or is it something offered through the Play store? The article seems to suggest it's being pushed to phones, but I ask so I know what to disable on delivery should I not have any say in that.</div> <div class="js-selectToQuoteEnd"> </div> </article> </div> </div> <div class="uix_reactionBarWrapper"> <div class="reactionsBar js-reactionsList "> </div> <a class="actionBar-action actionBar-action--menuTrigger" data-xf-click="menu" title="More options" role="button" tabindex="0" aria-expanded="false" aria-haspopup="true">•••</a> <div class="menu" data-menu="menu" aria-hidden="true" data-menu-builder="actionBarNew"> <div class="menu-content"> <h4 class="menu-header">More options</h4> <div class="js-menuBuilderTarget"></div> <a href="/civis/posts/43325879/report" class="menu-linkRow" data-xf-click="adguest-overlay">Report</a> <a href="/civis/posts/43325879/bookmark" class="bookmarkLink bookmarkLink--highlightable menu-linkRow " title="Bookmark" data-xf-click="adguest-overlay" data-label=".js-bookmarkText" rel="nofollow" data-sk-bookmarked="addClass:is-bookmarked, Edit bookmark" data-sk-bookmarkremoved="removeClass:is-bookmarked, Add bookmark"><span class="js-bookmarkText u-srOnly">Add bookmark</span></a> <a href="/civis/threads/android-will-soon-instantly-log-you-in-to-your-apps-on-new-devices.1504224/post-43325879" class="menu-linkRow" data-href="/civis/posts/43325879/share" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="overlay">Share</a> </div> </div> </div> <footer class="message-footer"> <div class="message-actionBar actionBar"> <div class="actionBar-set actionBar-set--external"> <span class="actionBar-action actionBar-action--vote"> <div class="contentVote js-contentVote 1 " data-xf-init="content-vote" data-content-id="post-43325879"> <a href="javascript:" class="contentVote-vote is-disabled contentVote-vote--up " data-vote="up"><span class="u-srOnly">Upvote</span></a> <span class="contentVote-scores"> <div class="ars_voteScore"> <span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--total is-negative js-voteCount js-voteCount--total" data-score="-9">-9</span> (<span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--positive is-positive js-voteCount js-voteCount--positive" data-score="3">3</span> / <span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--negative is-negative js-voteCount js-voteCount--negative" data-score="-12">-12</span>) </div> </span> </div> </span> <a href="/civis/threads/android-will-soon-instantly-log-you-in-to-your-apps-on-new-devices.1504224/add-reply?post_id=43325879" class="actionBar-action actionBar-action--reply" title="Reply, quoting this message" data-xf-click="adguest-overlay" data-cache="false">Quote</a> </div> <div class="actionBar-set actionBar-set--internal"> <a href="/civis/posts/43325879/report" class="actionBar-action actionBar-action--report" rel="nofollow" data-xf-click="adguest-overlay">Report</a> </div> </div> <div class="js-historyTarget message-historyTarget toggleTarget" data-href="trigger-href"></div> <section class="message-responses js-messageResponses"> <div class="js-replyNewMessageContainer"></div> </section> </footer> </div> </div> <div class="message-cell message-cell--vote"> <div class="message-column"> <div class="contentVote js-contentVote 1 " data-xf-init="content-vote" data-content-id="post-43325879"> <a href="javascript:" class="contentVote-vote is-disabled contentVote-vote--up " data-vote="up"><span class="u-srOnly">Upvote</span></a> <span class="contentVote-scores"> <div class="ars_voteScore"> <span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--total is-negative js-voteCount js-voteCount--total" data-score="-9">-9</span> (<span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--positive is-positive js-voteCount js-voteCount--positive" data-score="3">3</span> / <span class="contentVote-score contentVote-score--negative is-negative js-voteCount js-voteCount--negative" data-score="-12">-12</span>) </div> </span> </div> </div> </div> </div> </article> <article class="message message--post js-post arsPvs--neutral js-inlineModContainer " data-author="Hemlocke" data-content="post-43325901" id="js-post-43325901"> <span class="u-anchorTarget" id="post-43325901"></span> <div class="message-inner"> <div class="message-cell message-cell--user"> <section itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/Person" class="message-user userExtra--expand"> <div class="message-avatar "> <div class="message-avatar-wrapper"> <a href="/civis/members/hemlocke.351682/" class="avatar avatar--s avatar--default avatar--default--dynamic" data-user-id="351682" data-xf-init="member-tooltip" style="background-color: #d32f2f;

It was only maybe an hour and a half at the Apple store, but they couldn't transfer the phone account, so they sent us over to the AT&T store. The AT&T store is around the block from the Apple store, so going wasn't a hassle. We had to wait 45 minutes before talking to a person, and then the first person couldn't figure out how to do it - she tried half a dozen times before giving up and calling in a co-worker. He also took a few tries before he could figure out how to do it. Once he figured it out, it took nearly an hour for their back end systems to finish their work.<br /> My wife was halfway to full Karen by the time we were done.

So it pretty much never worked.
