1. Go to Settings, and then tap Power.

2. Tap Usage, and then tap an app to check how it's using the battery. You'll see

how much battery power is used by resources such as the CPU for the app and other use details.

If you see buttons while viewing an app's battery use details, you can tap them to adjust settings that affect battery usage, stop the app, and more.

Displaying the battery percentage

You can check the percentage of remaining battery power right from the status bar.

1. Go to Settings, and then tap Power.

2. Select Show battery level.

Checking battery history

Check how long you've been using HTC One max since the last charge. You can also see a chart that shows how long the screen has been on, and how long you've been using connections like the mobile network or Wi-Fi.

1. Go to Settings, and then tap Power.

2. Tap History.

3. If you've used HTC One max for a long time since the last charge, swipe left or

right to scale the graph that details battery usage over time.

You can also slide two fingers together or apart to scale the graph.

Getting the battery to last longer

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC One max. HTC One max power management helps to increase battery life.

In times when you need to extend the battery life more, try out some of these tips:

Check your battery usage

Monitoring your battery usage helps you identify what's using the most power so you can choose what to do about it. For details, see Checking battery usage on page 37.

Manage your connections

§ Turn off wireless connections you're not using.

To turn on or off connections such as mobile data, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth, go to Settings and tap their On/Off switches.

§ Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed.

To prevent some apps from using GPS in the background, keep the GPS satellites setting off. Turn it on only when you need your precise location while using navigation or location-based apps. Go to Settings and tap Location to turn this setting on or off.

§ If the Sleep mode option in Settings > Power is enabled, at low peak times, your phone will turn off the data connection after the screen has been off for 15 minutes and there's no network activity (no downloads, streaming, or data usage). The data connection resumes when you switch the screen back on.

§ Turn on Airplane mode when you don't need any wireless connections and you don't want to receive calls or messages.

Manage your display

Lowering the brightness, letting the display sleep when not in use, and keeping it simple helps save battery power.

§ Use automatic brightness (the default), or manually lower the brightness.

§ Set the screen timeout to a shorter time.

§ Don't use a live wallpaper for your Home screen. Animation effects are nice to

show off to other people but they drain your battery.

Changing your wallpaper to a plain, black background can also help a little. The less color is displayed, the less battery is used.

§ Set the web browser to auto dim the screen while webpages load. Open the Internet app, and then tap > Settings > Accessibility > Dim screen during page loading.

For more details, see Settings and security on page 143 and Personalizing on page

47.

Manage your apps

§ Install the latest software and application updates. Updates sometimes include battery performance improvements.

§ Uninstall or disable apps that you never use.

Many apps run processes or sync data in the background even when you're not using them. If there are apps that you don't need anymore, uninstall them.

If an app came preloaded and can't be uninstalled, disabling the app can still prevent it from continuously running or syncing data. In Settings > Apps, swipe to the All tab, tap the app, and then tap Disable.

Page 39

Limit background data and sync

Background data and sync can use a lot of battery power if you have many apps syncing data in the background. It’s recommended not to let apps sync data too often. Determine which apps can be set with longer sync times, or sync manually.

§ In Settings, tap Accounts & sync and check what types of data are being synced in your online accounts. When the battery is starting to run low, temporarily disable syncing some data.

§ If you have many email accounts, consider prolonging the sync time of some accounts.

In the Mail app, select an account, tap > Settings > Sync, Send & Receive, and then adjust the settings under Sync schedule.

§ When you’re not traveling from one place to another, sync weather updates of only your current location, rather than in all of your named cities. Open the Weather app, and then tap > Edit to remove unneeded cities.

§ Choose widgets wisely.

Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are not important from your Home screen.

§ In Play Store, tap > Settings, and then clear Auto-add widgets to avoid automatically adding Home screen widgets whenever you've installed new apps. Also tap Auto-update apps > Do not auto-update apps if you're fine with updating apps from Play Store manually.

Other tips

To squeeze in a little bit more battery power, try these tips:

§ Tone down the ringtone and media volume.

§ Minimize the use of vibration or sound feedback. In Settings, tap Sound and

choose which ones you don't need and can disable.

§ Check your apps’ settings as you may find more options to optimize the battery.

2. Tap the Power saver tile to turn power saver mode on or off.

If you want to choose which phone features to conserve power for, tap first before you turn power saver mode on.

It reconnects and then disconnects periodically when the data connection is idle to save battery power.

Keep in mind though that the Sleep mode option for the data connection in Settings > Power, when enabled, overrides power saver mode.

Storage

Types of storage

Want to know what types of storage you can use for your apps, data, and files?

HTC One max has these storage types:

Phone storage

Storage card

USB storage

This storage combines both the internal storage, where apps, email, data, and text messages are stored, and the file storage, where photos, videos, and music files are kept.

If you are running out of phone storage, see Making more storage space on page 91 for some tips on how to free up space.

Use a storage card for storing more files. You can also set apps such as Camera to store directly to the card.

When you plug in an external USB storage device (such as a USB flash drive or an SD card reader), you can view photos and videos stored on the device right from Gallery and play songs stored on the device in Music. You can also open PDFs and edit Office documents.

You need a special cable to connect HTC One max and a USB storage device. HTC One max supports USB storage devices (except portable hard drives) up to 64 GB.

Copying files to or from HTC One max

You can copy your music, photos, and other files to HTC One max.

Save and close your files before copying them from your computer to HTC One max, or vice versa.

1. Connect HTC One max to the computer using the supplied USB cable. You'll see

options for viewing or importing files on the computer screen.

2. Choose to view files.

3. Copy the files from your computer to HTC One max, or vice versa.

Making more storage space

As you use HTC One max, you'll accumulate data and fill its storage capacity over time. Here are some tips on how to increase storage space.

Run the storage wizard

Easily free up space in the phone storage by cleaning the application cache, uninstalling apps, and changing settings so that only the most recent data is kept. In Settings, tap Storage > Make more space.

Store files in Google Drive

Photos, email attachments, and other documents can be stored in Google Drive™ and accessed anywhere you are. You can set the Camera app to automatically upload photos to Google Drive.

Google Drive is a third-party app and is not provided by or associated with HTC Corporation.

Manage photos and videos

§ Set the Camera app to automatically upload to a photo-sharing site or online storage. When you reach the storage limit, just delete all your photos. You can retrieve them from the photo-sharing site or online storage when needed.

Using data services while uploading photos and videos may be costly. You may want to connect to Wi-Fi or disable auto upload of camera shots if you have a limited data plan.

§ After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot and discard the rest.

§ After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. You can delete original files or move them to online storage or to your computer.

§ If you are only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. Highresolution video takes up more space. In Camera settings, tap Video Quality to change the resolution.

Back up apps data

Keep only the most recent data from apps on HTC One max. You can back up calendars, contacts, and bookmarks or export text messages, and personal dictionaries.

Disable some apps

Apps, even if not used often, may be running in the background and downloading data into the phone storage. If the app cannot be removed, you can disable it. In Settings, tap Apps and then swipe to All. Select the app you want to disable, and then tap Disable.
