Setting up HTC One (M8) for the first time
When you switch on HTC One (M8) for the first time—or after you've done a factory reset—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 Google
Account, set up device protection for HTC One (M8), and more.
Use Android Backup Service if you've used it to back up your old phone before. On the Get your app
& data
screen, tap Restore from this backup. From the menu, choose your old phone if you want to
restore your apps from a previous phone that was backed up using Android Backup Service.
Otherwise, tap Set up as new device.
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 186.
Transferring content from an Android phone
On your old Android phone, download the HTC Transfer Tool and use it to transfer your content to
HTC One (M8).
The types of locally stored content on your old phone that the HTC Transfer Tool can transfer
include contacts, messages, calendar events, music, photos, videos, and some settings. More types of
data such as call histories, email accounts, and some HTC app settings can be transferred from HTC
phones that have HTC Sense 5.5 or higher.
You need
Android version 2.2 or later to use the HTC Transfer Tool on your old phone.
1. From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Get content from another phone.
2. Choose whether to transfer from an HTC Android phone or other Android phone.
3. On the Get content from another phone screen, tap Next.
4. Follow the steps shown on HTC One (M8) to download the HTC Transfer Tool from
Google Play to your old phone, install it, and open the tool.
