Using HTC Sync
Are you using Microsoft Outlook or Outlook Express on your computer? You can use HTC Sync
to synchronize your Outlook contacts and calendar or your Outlook Express contacts with your
phone. Before you do a factory reset or a software (ROM) upgrade of your phone, you can also
use HTC Sync to back up and sync these information from your phone back to your computer.
Here’s what you’ll need to do to install, set up, and use HTC Sync on your computer:
1. Download and install HTC Sync from the HTC support website. See "Downloading the latest
HTC Sync upgrade" for details.
2. Connect your phone to your computer using the supplied USB cable and set up HTC Sync to
recognize your phone. Follow the steps in "Setting up HTC Sync to recognize your phone."
3. Choose what information to sync between your computer and your phone and how you want
to sync them.
To easily set up synchronization using HTC Sync’s guided wizard, follow the steps in
"Setting up synchronization."
To choose from more sync options, see "Setting up more sync options."
4. Sync your computer with your phone automatically or manually. See "Synchronizing your
phone" for details.
Here’s more you can do with HTC Sync:
If you have third-party applications on your computer (not from Android Market), you can
use HTC Sync to install them from your computer to your phone. For more information, see
"Installing apps from your computer to your phone."
Repair contacts and/or calendar data, only if needed.
Downloading the latest HTC Sync upgrade
On your computer, visit the HTC support website (www.htc.com/support) to check for the most
recent HTC Sync upgrade so you can download and install it on your computer.
Setting up HTC Sync to recognize your phone
After installing, set up HTC Sync to recognize your phone.
1. Connect your phone to the computer with the supplied USB cable. Or, if your phone is
already connected, press and hold the status bar and drag your finger down to open the
Notifications panel. Then tap the status that shows “Select to change USB connection type“.
2. On the Connect to PC screen in your phone, tap HTC Sync and then tap Done.
3. Your phone attempts to find HTC Sync on your computer. Wait for a few seconds for the
process to finish.
4. When your phone finds HTC Sync, your computer will display the Phone Connection Wizard.
Click Next.
5. Enter the name you want for your phone, and then click Finish.
6. Check the HTC Sync icon at the bottom-right side of your computer screen. If it appears
green in color, that means your phone has successfully connected with your computer and
HTC Sync recognizes your phone.
If your phone displays a message indicating that it’s unable to find HTC Sync, try disconnecting and
reconnecting the USB cable, and then repeat step 2.
