Restoring content from HTC Backup

If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your saved backups from your cloud storage to
HTC One (M8). See About HTC Backup
with HTC Backup on page 139 for details.

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.
§ If your old phone has Android version 2.1 or an earlier version, you need to use Bluetooth
transfer. For details, see
