How to recover a deleted game: solutions to the problem
A similar problem of users has long been taken care of by specialists from Google. The fact is that all programs ever downloaded to a smartphone or tablet are stored in the data of your personal Google Play account.
Attention! If the program was downloaded via a third-party link, and not through an account, you won’t be able to restore it using the method described below.
In order to reinstall the remote game, you should:
- Launch Google Play
- call the menu in it, and then go to the tab "My applications and games";
- in the window that appears, click on the word "Everything";
- select the necessary items from the presented list;
- by clicking on the name of the application go to the installation screen;
- download and install a remote game or software.
Attention! The applications in the account list are arranged in chronological order of installation, from the most recent (top) to the earliest (bottom).
If the name you are looking for cannot be found in the list, then it is worth checking which account it was downloaded from. This method of restoring the application can help if it has a “link” to your Google Play account. There are known cases of uninstalling programs from Google Play for all users, in which case only downloading from a third-party resource will help to install the utility.
Is it possible to recover deleted photos or gallery on a tablet
In order to restore photos or other files on any Android device, there are several ways. The first and simplest is the use of cloud storage. In this case, the user synchronizes the device’s files with a special storage on the Internet, and even if you lose your tablet or smartphone, they can be easily restored.
You can also restore files using special software. One of the most useful programs in this regard is the Recuva program. In order to recover lost photos, videos or audio files, you must:
- install the utility on a PC;
- connect the android device to the computer;
- select through the program the type of files to be restored;
- specify an approximate storage location for deleted files;
- select the in-depth analysis function;
- from the proposed list, select the files that you want to restore.
Attention! In the vastness of the network, in addition to the utility described above, there are a great many programs capable of recover deleted files, and in most cases using two or three programs leads to a positive result. As examples of such software, the utilities Undelete, Dr. Fone or Recovery PRO. Most of these programs use different principles of file recovery, which explains the possibility of “triggering” one of the utilities with the “impotence” of the other.
If we are talking about data recovery from a tablet, then before proceeding with file recovery, you need to enable the "USB Debugging" mode on the device. This mode will help the work of recovery programs, but finding it becomes a real problem for many users.
This can be done by using the so-called Developer Mode. It is activated in a special way. In order to enter the developer mode, you need to go to the address “Settings – About device – Build number”. The last item needs to be pressed several times (usually around 7). When the required mode is activated, you need to return to the device settings and check the “USB Debugging” item.
It is worth noting that even the most powerful and modern utilities can recover far from all the files that were ever present on the device. Most of them, when working, displays a list of only those files that are not permanently deleted and are still available for recovery. If the lost information was of particular importance, to restore it, you can try to contact to specialists, however, even here, one hundred percent guarantee that the necessary files will be restored is usually not given.
