Phone data and files can be backed up, transferred, and managed from a Windows PC. HUAWEI HiSuite connects to a HUAWEI phone and provides tools for contacts, messages, media, backups, and device maintenance.
What phone data can HiSuite manage?
HiSuite provides management tools for contacts, messages, photos, videos, and applications. Contacts can be imported, exported, deleted, and organized into groups. Photos and videos can be moved between the phone and PC, while the gallery tools also let you set a photo as the phone’s wallpaper.
For text messages, the PC tools support sending and receiving, exporting messages, and saving them on the computer. A screenshot control captures the phone screen.
What goes into a backup?
A backup stored on the computer can include contacts, messages, applications, music, call history, email, and calendar data. HiSuite can restore data from a saved backup to the phone.
- Transfer files between the PC and the phone’s internal storage or memory card.
- Import or export photos, videos, and contacts.
- Manage messages from the computer and export them for storage.
How do you connect a phone?
Connect the phone by USB and select file or photo transfer on the device. In the phone’s Settings, search for HDB and allow HiSuite to use it. Approve the requested permissions, then enter the eight-digit verification code shown on the phone into HiSuite on the PC.
Can HiSuite update or recover a phone?
HiSuite includes controls for updating a phone’s system software and returning to an earlier version. Its system recovery tools can restore factory settings when the phone has a system problem. A factory reset erases device data, so back up important information before using that option.
