107 Sync, backup, and reset
§ Moving apps to the storage card doesn't back up the apps. If you do a factory
reset, your phone loses the apps. You'll need to reinstall them.
§ When you remove the storage card and insert it in another phone, the apps on the
storage card won't be installed automatically to the other phone. You'll need to
reinstall them.
Messages Back up your text messages to the phone storage or storage card, or
save them as an email attachment.
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 phone storage or storage card.
Files Manually copy and paste files by connecting HTC One mini 2 to your
computer as a disk drive.
Other data § If you added new words to your personal dictionary in the onscreen
keyboard, back up the dictionary to the storage card or save it as an
email attachment.
§ Check the other apps to see if they support exporting data to the
storage.
