Phone setup and transfer

Setting up your new phone for the first time

When you switch on your new phone for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up.

You can enable TalkBack to navigate by voice feedback before selecting the language. Press and

hold two fingers on the screen until you hear a message saying that accessibility mode is enabled.

Walk through the on-device setup to choose your Internet connection, sign in to your accounts, set

up your screen lock, and more.

There are different options you can choose to set up your new phone:

§ If you have content from another phone that you want to transfer, whether it's from an

Android or other phone, select Get content from old phone.

§ If you have a previous phone backup that you want to restore from your online storage, select

Restore from HTC Backup.

To make it easier for you to back up and restore content from HTC Desire 816 to another HTC

phone in the future, select Back up phone daily.

Some features that need to connect to the Internet such as location-based services and auto-sync

of your online accounts may incur extra data fees. To avoid incurring data fees, disable these

features under Settings. For more information on location services, see Turning location

services on or off on page 132.

Restoring your backup from your online storage

If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to HTC Desire 816 when you turn the

phone on for the first time or after a factory reset.

Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone through your data

connection may incur additional data costs and take a long time. Using a Wi-Fi

connection is

recommended.

1. From the Add your account screen, sign in to your Google Account.

2. If you see the Get your apps & data screen, tap Restore from this backup, and then select Set

up as new device.

You'll see this screen when you've previously backed up an old phone to Google servers. Do not

restore anything from the Google servers when you want to restore a backup from HTC Backup.
