Setting up your new phone for the first time

When you switch on your new phone for the first time, you'll be asked to set it up.
You can enable TalkBack to navigate by voice feedback before selecting the language. Press and
hold two fingers on the screen until you hear a message saying that accessibility mode is enabled.
Walk through the on-device setup to choose your Internet connection, sign in to your accounts, set
up your screen lock, and more.
There are different options you can choose to set up your new phone:
§ If you have content from another phone that you want to transfer, whether it's from an
Android
or other phone, select Get content from old phone.
§ If you have a previous phone backup that you want to restore from your online storage, select
Restore from HTC Backup.
To make it easier for you to back up and restore content from HTC One to another HTC phone in
the future, select Back up phone daily.
Some features that need to connect to the Internet such as location-based services and auto-sync
of your online accounts may incur extra data fees. To avoid incurring data fees, disable these
features under Settings. For more information on location services, see
services on or off
on page 155.
