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 Backup. Use the built-in HTC Backup to back up your accounts, apps, settings, and more to
the cloud so that it will be easier to restore them on your phone (after a factory reset) or on a
newer phone.
●
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
●
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

Contacts. Save contacts and other personal data to your online accounts so you can just
sync them when switching to another phone. If you have locally stored contacts in the People
app, export them to the storage on the phone. See

Files. Manually copy and paste files by connecting your phone to your computer as a disk
drive. You can also upload files to online storage and services.

Other data. If you added new words to your personal dictionary in the onscreen keyboard,
back up the dictionary to the storage or save it as an email attachment. See
Word Prediction on the HTC Sense
exporting data to the storage.
Note: If you're backing up data to the storage, don't choose to erase the storage when you do a factory
reset.
