Restoring your backup to HTC One from Google Drive
If you backed up your phone to Google Drive before, you can restore your backup to
HTC One, or to a new HTC phone.
§ Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone
through your data connection may incur additional data costs and take a long
time. Using a Wi-Fi connection is recommended.
§ 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 tap Next.
4. If you used your HTC Account or Facebook account to backup 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, tap 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 All 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.
You can also go to Settings, and then tap 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 HTC One.
