I lost all my apps after I did the update through the PC Companion. The contacts, messages, email and all that was restored through the restoring function in the PC Companion. Can't I get my apps back?
That's a bit odd but
Settings > accounts > google (add your gmail account) > open the playstore > download any app > give it some time it might start downloading all your apps if not you can
either
1) look for all the apps from your phone
or
2) on your computer sign in to the playstore and send the apps to your phone (playstore > sign in > my apps > install )
