Set Up Your Phone For The First Time - HTC Magic User Manual

Set up your phone for the first time

When you turn on the phone for the first time and after touching the Android
image, you will be prompted to sign in to your Google Account. If you decide not to
sign in to your Google Account, you can still use the phone but you won't be able
to use Google services such as Google Talk™, Gmail™/Google Mail™, and Android
Market™.
Important
You need to know your Google password to sign in. If you have forgotten your
password, refer to "Retrieve your Google password" later in this chapter to learn
how to retrieve your password.
Note Make sure that your phone has an active data connection (G/GPRS) before you sign in
to your Google Account. See "Phone Status and Notifications" in this chapter to know if
your phone has an active data connection.
If you do not have an active data connection, press MENU and then touch APN settings
anytime when going through the initial setup to add APN settings. See "To create a new
access point" in Chapter 5 to learn how to set up a data connection
