from them.

Restore Your Backup From Your Online
Storage to Your New Phone
If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to your new HTC phone when you
turn the phone on for the first time or after a factory reset.
Important: Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone through your
data connection may use a lot of time and data. Using a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.
1. When you're asked whether you have a Google Account, sign in to your account.
2. Use your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to connect your phone to the Internet.
If you used your Google login credentials as your HTC Account and your backup is in Google
Drive™, touch Sign in with Google.
If not, touch Remind me later, go to the Transfer or restore screen, and select Restore from
HTC Backup.
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your backup and to continue setting up your phone.
