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

 

NOTE: 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.

 

There are various ways of setting up your new phone:

  • If you don't plan to restore a previous backup from your online storage, you can use the HTC Get Started service to first personalize your new phone and set up your accounts from your computer.
  1. On the Fast and easy setup screen, tap I want to use Get Started.
    Your phone will show you the URL of the HTC Get Started site and a pair code.
  2. On your computer's web browser, just go to the URL and enter the pair code to start your web setup.
  3. Save your setup to your HTC Account so you can download your personalized settings to your phone.
  • If you already finished the HTC Get Started setup before turning on your new phone, just download your web setup.
  • 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 your phone to another HTC phone in the future, select Back up phone daily. For further information see How to use HTC Sync Manager and How do I import contacts from other apps or accounts?
