Setting up HTC One X+ for the first time

When you switch on HTC One X+ for the first time, you’ll be asked to set it up. Use AT&T Ready2Go to import contacts, choose ringtones and Home screen options, and more. Then complete the process with the HTC Setup wizard.

Walk through the on-device setup to choose your Internet connection, turn location services on or off, and more.

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.

Home screen

Your Home screen is where you make HTC One X+ your own. You can add your favorite applications, shortcuts, folders and widgets so they’re always just a tap away. To find out how, see Personalizing on page 37.

Slide your finger horizontally to the left or right on the screen and you’ll discover more space for adding icons, widgets, and more.
