Work with Certificates

Use client and Certificate Authority (CA) digital certificates to enable your phone to access VPN or
secured Wi-Fi networks, and also to provide authentication to online servers. You can get a certificate
from your system administrator or download it from sites that require authentication.

Notes:

● Some apps such as your browser or email client let you install certificates directly in the app. See

the app

’s help for details.

● You must set a lock screen PIN or password before installing a digital certificate.

Backup and Reset

Find ways on how to back up your data or how to reset the phone.

Backup

Always keep important stuff on your phone. Back up your phone before you erase the storage, do a
factory reset, or upgrade to a new phone.

Backup Options

HTC Sync Manager. Use HTC Sync Manager to import music, photos, and videos to your

computer. You can also sync locally stored contacts, calendar events, bookmarks, documents,
and playlists to your computer. Likewise, HTC Sync Manager is a good alternative if you don

’t

want to back up your accounts, settings, and other personal content to the cloud. You can use it
to create backups of your phone on your computer. For details, see

HTC Sync Manager

.

Other backup options. Separately back up other data and file types if they’re not supported in

HTC Backup and HTC Sync Manager. In some apps, you can back up data to the storage on the
phone so you can easily restore them after a factory reset.

Messages. Back up your text messages to the storage on the phone, or save them as an

email attachment. See

Back Up and Restore Your Text Messages
