Setting up your phone for the first time

When you switch on your HTC phone for the first time—or after you've done a factory reset—you’ll need to set it up.
Important: Before you start, back up your data to your Google Account so you can restore them to HTC Desire 21 pro 5G. Alternatively, use the HTC Transfer Tool after you finish setting up HTC Desire 21 pro 5G. For details, see Ways of getting content from your previous phone.
  1. If you need to navigate by voice feedback, turn on TalkBack by pressing and holding two fingers on the first screen until you hear a message and then a beep.

    Or if you accidentally enabled TalkBack, follow the onscreen tutorial to turn it off.

  2. During the setup, you'll be prompted to do the following:
    • Choose the system language to use, read and agree to the terms of use, and choose your Internet connection.
    • Choose where to copy or restore data from.
    • Sign into your Google Account.
    • Turn on Google Services. Make sure the Back up to Google Drive option is turned on to enable Auto Backup.

      It's also recommended to have Location and Device maintenance options turned on.

    • Set up Google Assistant™. For details, visit support.google.com/assistant/.
    • Set up device protection for your phone.
  3. Follow the onscreen instructions to finish your phone setup.
Note: 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 the location setting on or off.
