For the third time in as many years my wife has inadvertently wiper her Samsung Galaxy A50 as it does so automatically if buttons are held too long. Does anyone have a recommendation for a replacement that requires multiple steps to factory reset so she doesn’t keep losing all of her game data?
In addition, if you have recommendations how to back-up that kind of stuff that isn’t included in Google’s back-up.
I think it’s due to some other setting, like “wipe the phone if password is entered wrongly ten times”. It’s possible to enter bootloader mode accidentally, but wipe the phone requires too many steps to be done multiple times in a row.
Backups and android always suck. They made it on the developer. It’s the developer that has to write a function to backup the settings on the Google servers. Not difficult, takes like a couple hours tops, but nobody is doing that.
Instead on iOS it works on the opposite way, the operating system backups everything and it’s the developer that has to waste a couple hours if they DON’T want their app data backupped on iCloud.
The result is that on iOS a backup restore gives you a almost 1:1 copy, while on Android a backup restore gives you a phone with all the apps resettled to zero
