Restore Your Backup to Your Phone From Google Drive
If you backed up your phone to Google Drive before, you can restore your backup to your phone, or
to a new HTC phone.
Note: Depending on the amount of content, doing a manual backup through data connection may
incur additional data costs and take a long time. Using a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.
Note: To restore paid apps, you need to download and install them from Google Play.
1. When you turn on a new HTC phone for the first time or after a factory reset, choose to restore
content, and then select Restore from HTC Backup on the Set up phone screen.
2. Make sure to sign in using the same account that you used to back up your phone before. Your
backup history will then be displayed.
3. Select a backup, and then touch NEXT.
4. If you used your HTC Account or Facebook account to back up your phone, sign in to your
Google Account to access your Google Drive.
5. When prompted, allow HTC Backup to access your Google Drive.
6. After your settings have been restored, touch NEXT to continue setting up your phone.
Your free apps that you've previously downloaded from Google Play will be restored in the
background, and you can track the progress via a notification in the status bar.
The Apps and Home screen shortcuts will be reorganized as in your backup after all of your apps
have been installed. You may continue using your phone while apps are being restored.
Tip: You can also go to Settings, and then touch Backup & reset > Restore from HTC Backup.
Just make sure that you've already signed in to the same account that you used to back up your
phone before. Restoring a backup will overwrite the current data and settings on your phone.
