Lost saved WiFi networks after restore. - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi guys,
Had issues with Pie over Christmas so downgraded to Oreo. That went okay but I appear to have lost all of my saved WiFi networks... They're all backed up through Google aren't they and I'm sure they've restored in the past with my other devices so I don't know what's going on?
Any ideas? I've got a OnePlus 5.

Thanks for the reply! Thinking I may not have restored a previous backup? I might wait until I go with a stable build of Pie.

The backup I want won't go anywhere unless I delete it, will it?

Speedtest.net App now working

Just an FYI, Speedtest app had an update today, and it now works without FC'ing as it did before.
Although, it isnt running in fullscreen for me (yet) maybe a reboot might fix? Anyway, here you go. Enjoy.

It's always worked, as long as you gave it a fake GPS.
It has always worked right out of the box for me on stock rooted.

Yeah stock it was fine, CM7 for some reason it would crash trying to access the GPS, as does a handful of other apps. Workaround is a GPS location faking tool, or simply turning on the TetherGPS client, since I already had it on there anyway.
Where are you getting it from? Im running NookieFroyo and it didnt show up in the market before and still doesnt. I did get a copy of the app from another source but it looks a little funky. It does work though. Anyways, I would like to get the updated version.

SMS wont restore from Kies

I have moved from Orange to 3 (UK)
So i flashed the 3 version of the ICS4 firmware as on:
http://www.theandroidsoul.com/galax...wnload-the-i9100h3glp2-firmware-at-carrier-3/
That worked out fine.
I did a backup before.
It shows that it has backed up my SMS:

When i go next
Wont let me restore them.
By flashing the 3 rom, your phones become just a i9100, no longer a i9100P. Probably whats confused Kies, thinks its a different phone and wont restore personal data (contacts, calendar etc)
Sent from my GT-P7510
So if i flash it back to Orange i would be able to retrieve that info?
alternatively, you could install a SMS backup application from the play store and restore your messages
Personally, I dont TRUST Kies. I use third-party back up tools for the job.

Would still have to flash the orange firmware and restore them to the phone before i can back them up using an sms backup app?

hi if you are rooted with a custom recovery,you cannot receive updates from lg as it would mess your phone up, i actually thought that if you were just rooted with stock recovery and stock rom you could get and install updates but maybe verizon is different as they seem to be in a lot of respects

Would you know how this affect battery?
ONE GR8 8
Still no, I setup it today and I had half battery already. Will see from tommorow.
I installed the update but now it keeps crashing, making the phone freeze completely for a short period. Anyone know of a way to roll back?

Tried these suggestions and none worked. However "Nearby Share" does work.
Found the problem, "Quick Share Agent" was off.

Settings matter...
Sometimes a upgrade or update will toggle stuff, fun huh?
