and settings next time.

Backing up HTC Desire 816 to Google Drive
Turn on HTC Backup to do a daily backup of your phone over Wi-Fi. Turn it on by
selecting Back up phone daily while doing the on-device setup. If you didn't do so, use

connection may incur additional data costs and take a long time. Using a Wi-Fi
connection is recommended.
1. Open the HTC Backup app.
2. Tap Turn on automatic backup.
3. Make sure Back up phone daily is selected, and then tap Next.
4. Sign in with your Google Account, HTC Account, or Facebook account.
5. On the Cloud storage screen, tap the Google Drive option, and then tap OK.
These include your feed sources in HTC BlinkFeed, widgets,
wallpaper, Home screen layout, and ringtones.
HTC Backup stores the login credentials for many popular
email and social network accounts, such as Exchange
ActiveSync, Outlook.com, and POP/IMAP.
These include your contacts stored on HTC Desire 816, text
messages, call history, web bookmarks, personal dictionary,
Wi-Fi networks, free apps you've installed, grid size and sort
