Ways of Transferring Contacts and Other Content into Your
Phone
There are different ways you can individually add contacts and other content to your new HTC phone.
● Sync with your computer. Use HTC Sync Manager to sync contacts, documents, playlists, and
more between your phone and a computer running a Windows
®
or Mac OS
®
operating system.
You can also use it to transfer iTunes
®
backup that contains contacts, messages, and other
content from an iPhone to your computer, and then to your HTC phone. For details, see HTC
Sync Manager.
● Google Account. Google contacts are imported to your phone after you sign in to your Google
Account. You can also create more Google contacts right from your phone.
● Social network accounts. Log in to your favorite social networks to sync contact information
from them.
● Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync. Your phone syncs your work contacts from the Microsoft
Exchange ActiveSync Server in your workplace.
● Phone contacts. You can create contacts locally on your phone, if you don’t prefer to store them
on your online accounts.
Restore Your Backup From Your Online Storage
to Your New Phone
If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to your new HTC phone when you turn the
phone on for the first time or after a factory reset.
Important: Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone through your data
connection may use a lot of time and data. Using a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.
1. When you're asked whether you have a Google Account, sign in to your account.
2. Use your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to connect your phone to the Internet.
If you used your Google login credentials as your HTC Account and your backup is in Google
Drive™, touch Sign in with Google.
If not, touch Remind me later, go to the Transfer or restore screen, and select Restore from
HTC Backup.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your backup and to continue setting up your phone.
4. Slide open the Notifications panel to check if there's any notification to finish setting up your
phone.
Your free apps that you’ve previously downloaded from Google Play will be restored in the background,
and you can track the progress via a notification in the status bar. To restore paid apps, you need to
download and install them from Google Play.
