Setting up HTC Flyer for the first time

When you switch on HTC Flyer for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up. You can choose your language, how you want to connect to the Internet, and whether you want your current location to be automatically detected. If you still have personal contacts and calendar events stored on your old phone, you can easily transfer them to HTC Flyer through Bluetooth as well.

Be sure to sign in to your Google® Account so you can use Google apps like Gmail™ and Android Market™. You can also set up your other email accounts, favorite social networks like Facebook® and Twitter™, and more.

Just follow the onscreen instructions and you’ll be up and running in no time.

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. Don’t worry. You can enable or disable them in settings later on.

The HTC Flyer P512 is a tablet that marked HTC's foray into the world of portable computing, combining unique features and robust technology to deliver a standout experience. Launched in 2011, the Flyer was notable for being one of the first tablets to integrate a stylus, catering to users who want more from their tablet than mere media consumption.

One of the defining aspects of the HTC Flyer is its 7-inch display, boasting a resolution of 1024 x 600 pixels.

The display is vivid enough for reading eBooks, watching videos, or browsing the web, providing a balance between visual quality and portability.

Under the hood, the HTC Flyer is powered by a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon processor along with 1 GB of RAM, ensuring smooth performance whether multitasking or running demanding applications. Available in both 16 GB and 32 GB storage options, the Flyer also includes a microSD card slot, allowing users to expand their storage capabilities as needed.

Additionally, the device supports Wi-Fi connectivity, along with optional 3G capabilities, allowing users to stay connected on the go.
