10 Features you'll enjoy
Android 9.0 in HTC Desire 19+
Android™ 9.0 in HTC Desire 19+ brings features that make handling phone calls, battery usage, and
app notifications more efficient. Here's an overview of some of its features.
Incoming call pop-up
From taking up the entire screen, you can set incoming phone calls to show as a pop-up. It takes the
pressure off to immediately accept or reject an incoming call, especially when you're busy using an
app.
For details, see Showing incoming call as a pop-up notification on page 52.
More control over battery-draining apps
Check which apps are draining your battery and enable background restriction for these apps. This
prevents them from using the battery while running in the background. See Enabling background
restriction in apps on page 72.
Manage notifications better
You have more control over your notifications. It's easier to stop those that you don't want to
receive anymore. Just press and hold on a notification to see your options. When you're using apps
such as Google Messages and Gmail, you can now reply to messages right from the Notifications
panel.
More intuitive design
Enjoy a refreshed look for some screens, such as the Quick Settings. The volume bar is also more
accessible, and you can conveniently switch between silent, vibrate, and normal modes from it.
You'll be delighted as subtle design improvements make for a better overall experience.

Unboxing and setup
HTC Desire 19+ overview
After taking HTC Desire 19+ out of the box, familiarize yourself first with the location of the card
tray, controls, and sensors.
1. VOLUME control
2. POWER button
3. Speaker
4. USB Type-C™ connector
5. Microphones
6. 3.5mm headset jack
7. nano SIM and storage card tray
8. Proximity and light sensor
9. Front camera
10. Notification LED
You need a 4G/LTE™ plan to use your operator's 4G/LTE network for voice calls and data services.
Check with your operator for details.
§ If you want to use a case or screen protector, don’t cover and block the proximity sensor.
Purchase a case or screen protector designed for HTC Desire 19+.
§ Avoid liquid or dust from entering the microphone hole to prevent damage to the microphone.
§ Avoid connecting third-party headsets or accessories with metallic charms that dangle near the
headset jack. Using these may affect signal reception.
§ Don’t disassemble any part of the phone. Don’t try to open the phone or remove the battery by
force. This may damage the phone or its electronics and will invalidate the warranty.

2. Fingerprint scanner
3. Dual LED flash
13 Unboxing and setup
Inserting the nano SIM and microSD cards
§ Use a standard nano SIM card. A modified card that is thicker than the standard nano SIM card
will not fit properly on the tray and may damage the card slot.
§ The microSD™ card is optional and sold separately.
1. Hold the phone face up.
2. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool that came with your phone—or a small bent paperclip—
into the tray eject hole.
When inserting the eject tool into the tray eject hole to remove the card tray, do not obstruct
the tray to avoid damaging the eject mechanism inside the slot.
3. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the tray ejects, and then pull the tray out.
14 Unboxing and setup
4. Do the following to place your nano SIM and microSD cards into the tray:
With the gold contacts facing down, place two nano SIM cards into the SIM 1 and SIM 2
holders of the tray. Make sure to align the cut-off corners to the notches on the holders.
Both SIM 1 and SIM 2 cards can be 4G LTE cards.
To find out how to set the preferred card for your
mobile data connection, see Managing your
nano SIM cards with Dual network manager on
page 18.
When you need to use a microSD card, remove your second nano SIM card and then place the
microSD card on the SIM 2/SD holder. You cannot have both the second nano SIM card and
the microSD card inserted at the same time.
5. When reinserting the tray, make sure it is facing up so that your cards don't fall out. With the
outer card holder between your fingers, steadily slide the tray all the way into the slot.
6. Make sure the tray is fully inserted and doesn't protrude from the slot.
Follow the same procedure above to eject the tray and remove your cards. Before ejecting the tray,
make sure to unmount your microSD card first. See Unmounting the storage card on page 77.
15 Unboxing and setup
Charging the battery
Before you turn on and start using HTC Desire 19+, it is recommended that you charge the battery.
§ If the battery has been fully drained, you may need to charge HTC Desire 19+ for several
minutes before powering it on.

2. Insert the other end of the USB Type-C cable into the power adapter.
3. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.

power adapter that's close to the USB port when you unplug the adapter from the outlet.

charging to avoid overheating.
§ When you're using battery-intensive apps such as games or video streaming apps while charging
the battery, your phone may become warmer. This is normal.

use.
