Ways of backing up files, data, and settings
Worried that you might lose important stuff on HTC Desire 601? Back up HTC Desire
601 before you erase the storage, do a factory reset, or upgrade to a new phone.
HTC Backup
Use the built-in HTC Backup to back up your accounts, settings, contacts stored on
your phone, text messages, and more to the cloud so that it will be easier to restore
them on HTC Desire 601 (after a factory reset) or newer phone.
HTC Sync Manager
Use HTC Sync Manager to import music, photos, and videos from HTC Desire 601 to
your computer. You can also sync locally stored contacts, calendar events,
bookmarks, and playlists between HTC Desire 601 and your computer.
Likewise, HTC Sync Manager is a good alternative if you don't want to back up your
accounts, settings, and other personal content to the cloud. You can use it to create
backups of HTC Desire 601 on your computer.
Other backup options
If you want, you can separately back up your data or files.
In some apps, you can back up data to the storage on the phone so you can easily
restore them after a factory reset.
If you're backing up data to the storage, don't choose to erase the storage when
you do a factory reset.
Messages Back up your text messages to the storage on the phone, 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 storage on the phone.
Files Manually copy and paste files by connecting HTC Desire 601 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.
