Your HTC XXX
User guide

2010/10/28
Before you do anything else, please read this
Charge the battery
The battery in your phone hasn’t been charged yet. While your phone is charging, it’s
important that you do not remove the battery pack. Doing so can damage your phone. Also,
please don’t try to take your phone apart. (If you do, it may invalidate your warranty.)
Choose a rate plan wisely
Your phone can use up a lot of Internet bandwidth really quickly. Before you use your phone,
we strongly recommend that you talk to your mobile operator about data rates. If you’re on a
standard data plan, the costs could really add up. Switching to a flat-rate plan could be a lot
cheaper.
Know about privacy laws
Some countries have strict laws about how and when you can record phone conversations.
For example, you may need to tell the person you’re speaking to before you start recording.
It’s a good idea to find out what the laws are where you live before you use your phone’s
recording feature.
And finally, a few important words from our legal team (LIMITATION OF DAMAGES)
To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, in no event shall HTC or its affiliates
be liable to you, any user, or third party for any indirect, special, consequential, incidental
or punitive damages of any kind, arising in contract, tort, or otherwise, including, but not
limited to, injury, loss of revenue, loss of goodwill, loss of business opportunity, loss of data,
and/or loss of profits, regardless of the foreseeability thereof or whether HTC or its affiliates
have been advised of the possibility of such damages. And in no event shall the total liability
of HTC or its affiliates exceed the amount received from you, regardless of the legal theory
under which the cause of action is brought. The foregoing does not affect any statutory
rights which may not be disclaimed.
Please also read the Safety and regulatory guide that is included in the box for information on the
proper usage of your phone to prevent injuries and to avoid damaging your phone. You can also
refer to this guide for regulatory information about your phone.

Conventions used in this guide
In this user guide, we use the following symbols to indicate useful and important information:
This is a note. A note often gives additional information, such as what happens on your phone when
you choose to do or not to do a certain action. A note also provides information that may only be
applicable to some situations.
This is a tip. A tip gives you an alternative way to do a particular step or procedure, or lets you know
of an option that you may find helpful.
This indicates that something is very important. Important information is something that you need to
do in order to accomplish a certain task or to get a phone feature to work properly.
This provides safety precaution information, that is, information that you need to be careful about to
prevent potential problems when using your phone.

Facebook for Android application
The Facebook application on your phone lets you keep up and stay close with your friends in
Facebook. It offers most of the features that you are familiar with when using Facebook on
your computer.
If you have more than one Facebook account, you can sign in to the Facebook application using
your other Facebook account.
Using the Facebook application
From the Home screen, tap > Facebook.
If this is your first time to use Facebook, follow the onscreen instructions to sign in to your
Facebook account.

Differences between Facebook for HTC Sense and Facebook for Android application
Facebook for HTC Sense is not a standalone application. It is integrated into People, Friend
Stream, and Gallery to give you up-to-date information about your Facebook contacts
(their status updates and new photos) in these applications.
The Facebook for Android application is a standalone application. Use this application to
do most of the things that you would do when you’re using your computer’s web browser
to access your Facebook account, such as adding a friend and adding captions to photos
you upload.
The two do not share the same login credentials. Signing in to Facebook for HTC Sense
does not sign you in to the Facebook application and vice versa. If you want to use the
same Facebook account for both, you’ll have to sign in to both using the same login
credentials.

like. Follow these tips to extend the time between charges:
Turn off wireless functions such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and data connection when you’re not

Updating your phone’s system software
From time to time, system software updates for your phone may be available. Your phone

the update to your phone.
Depending on the type of update, the update may erase all your personal data and
customized settings, and also remove any programs you have installed. Make sure that you
have backed up the information and files you want to keep. See “Backing up phone data” in
this chapter for details.

206 Update and reset
Performing a hard/factory reset
You can return your phone to its original state, as it was when it left the factory. This is also
called a hard reset. You might want to do this if you are giving your phone to a friend or
relative and you want to remove all your data first, or if your phone has a persistent problem
that is not solved by powering off the phone and then powering it on again.
A factory reset is a drastic measure. It permanently erases all your personal data and
customized settings, and also removes any programs you have installed. Make sure that you
have backed up the information and files you want to keep.
If your phone hangs or freezes, we recommend that you do a “soft” reset instead of a hard/factory
reset. To perform a soft reset, remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, and then re-install it. After
re-installing the battery, turn on the phone.
Performing a factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
From the Home screen, press MENU and then tap Settings.
Scroll down the screen, and then tap SD & phone storage > Factory data reset.
On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase everything.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a
factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then briefly
press the POWER button.
Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER to reset the
device.
