Setting up your phone
Transferring contacts from your old phone

Depending on the capabilities of your old phone, the Transfer app may be able to
transfer not only contacts but also other data such as calendar events and text
messages to HTC Desire 501.
1. From the Home screen, tap
2. Tap Next to begin.
3. Choose your old phone's name and model.
4. On your old phone, turn Bluetooth on and set it to discoverable mode.
5. Follow the onscreen instructions on your old phone and HTC Desire 501 to pair
them.
6. Choose the types of data to transfer:
§ If you selected Contacts and Calendar, you can choose whether to transfer
them to the phone or to an account you're signed into (such as Exchange
ActiveSync).
§ If you're transferring data from the HTC One series (or newer phones), you
can also select SMS, Bookmark, and Task. These data types can only be
transferred locally to HTC Desire 501.
7. Wait for the data transfer to finish.
Getting photos, videos, and music on or off
HTC Desire 501
There are two ways you can transfer your media.
§ Connect HTC Desire 501 to your computer. Your computer will recognize it just
like any removable USB drive, and you can copy your media between them.
§ Download and use our HTC Sync Manager software. You can easily set it up to
sync folders containing media and playlists on your computer with
HTC Desire 501. HTC Sync Manager can also automatically get photos and
videos off HTC Desire 501 to your computer. For details, see
on page 103.
Tired of transferring your media every time you change to a new phone? Use online
storage services to put your media in one place so you can access them anywhere —
on your computer, HTC Desire 501, and other mobile devices.
Check first what online storage accounts are available on HTC Desire 501 and sign in
to the one you want to use. To sign in to an account, slide the Notifications panel
open, and then tap
in your online storage.
