I had a bitcoin wallet on my htc android phone. My wife did a phone reset through at&t. Of course the software informed her that all the settings would be backed up to the cloud. After the phone synced and reset, none of the previously installed apps were on the phone. When I re-installed the bitcoin wallet app my money was not there. Is there anyway I can recover this money? I did not back-up the wallet in the app, so I assume the btc is lost, but I want to know for sure before I give up.
No, you are fucked. You just added value to the remaining bitcoins.
