nano UIM and nano SIM cards
HTC One (E8) has two card slots that allow you to insert a nano UIM card and GSM
nano SIM card.
Use standard nano UIM and nano SIM cards only. Inserting a modified card that is
thicker than the standard nano UIM or nano SIM card may cause the card to not fit
properly or damage the card slot.
Inserting the nano UIM and nano SIM cards
1. Hold the phone face up.
2. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool (or a small bent paperclip) into the tray eject
hole next to the nano UIM/nano SIM card slot.
3. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the card tray ejects.
4. Pull the card tray out.
5. In SIM 1 holder, place a CDMA nano UIM card or 3G/GSM nano SIM card. In SIM 2
holder, place a GSM nano SIM card.
If the card is NFC-enabled, it must be placed in the SIM 1 holder to be recognized.
6. Insert the card tray back into the slot.

phone storage space, you can also move certain apps to the storage card, if the apps
support this feature.

reset, your phone loses the apps. You'll need to reinstall them.

storage card won't be installed automatically to the other phone. You'll need to

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, and more.
There are different options you can choose to set up your new phone:
§If you don't plan to restore a previous backup from your online storage, you can
use the HTC Get Started service to first personalize your new phone and set up
your accounts from your computer.
On the Fast and easy setup screen, tap I want to use Get Started. Your phone
will show you the URL of the HTC Get Started site and a pair code. On your
computer's web browser, just go to the URL and enter the pair code to start
your web setup. Save your setup to your HTC Account so you can download
your personalized settings to your phone.
If you already finished the HTC Get Started setup before turning on your new
phone, just download your web setup.
§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 (E8) 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 Turning location services on or off on page 145.
16 Phone setup and transfer

Restoring your backup from your online
storage
If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to HTC One (E8) when
you turn the phone on for the first time or after a factory reset.
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.
1. When you're asked whether you have a Google®Account, sign in to your
account.
2. Use your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to connect your phone to the
Internet.
3. If you used your Google login credentials as your HTC Account and your backup
is in Google Drive™, tap Sign in with Google.
If not, tap Remind me later, go to the Transfer or restore screen, and select
Restore from HTC Backup.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to restore your backup and to continue setting
up your phone.
5. Slide open the Notifications panel to check if there's any notification to finish
setting up your phone.
Free apps from Google Play™will be restored in the background, and you can track
the progress via a notification in the status bar. To restore paid apps, you need to
download and install them from Google Play.
Your apps will appear on the Apps screen as they are installed. The Apps and Home
screen shortcuts will be reorganized as in your backup after all of your apps have
been installed. You may continue using HTC One (E8) while apps are being restored.
