Setting up HTC One E9‍+ for the first time

When you switch on HTC One E9‍+ for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up.

Tip: 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.

During the setup, there are different ways you can choose to transfer or restore content to HTC One E9‍+. It is recommended to choose just one of the following methods to avoid overwriting content that has already been imported to HTC One E9‍+:

• Use Google® backup if you've used it to back up your old phone before and you only need to restore apps and no other types of content. On the Get your apps & data screen, choose your old phone and the apps you want to restore to HTC One E9‍+.

  If you have other types of content to transfer or restore from your old phone, tap Restore from this backup, and then select Set up as new device.

• Use HTC Backup to restore a previous backup from your cloud storage. On the HTC Advantage screen, sign in with the account credentials that you used as your HTC Account. Or you can tap Restore from HTC Backup on the Transfer or restore content screen.
• If you have content from another phone that you want to transfer, whether it's from an Android™, iPhone, or other phone, tap Transfer content on the Transfer or restore content screen.

  Depending on the type of old phone that you have, see the following for more details:
