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 46.

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 GPSsatellites 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. For more information on location services, see
Turning location services on or off on page 156.
§ 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 duringpage loading.
For more details, see Settings and security on page 185 and Personalizing on page
76.
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.

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.

If you want to choose which phone features to conserve power for, tap first

Tips for capturing better photos
To get better captures with the Camera app, here are some tips on what to do while
taking your shots.
Getting the most out of Zoe Camera
§ When using the Zoe Camera, try to keep HTC One steady to capture moving
subjects against a static background scene.
§ If using Sequence Shot to stitch different action shots in one photo, encourage
the subject to make obvious lateral movements.
§ When taking a group photo, ask your subjects to hold the pose until you have
finished capturing. Use Always Smile to choose the best frames and have a
photo that has everyone smiling.
Improving focus and sharpness
§ HTC One has autofocus, which works best on a subject that is not moving too
much. To change the focus, on the Viewfinder, tap the one you want to focus
on.
§ If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock
the focus.
§ You can manually adjust the sharpness of a photo by editing in Gallery. You can
also set the sharpness before taking a photo in the Camera settings.
Generally, it is better to sharpen a blurry image rather than to reduce the
sharpness in an image.
Taking well-lit photos
§ HTC One automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. If the image appears
underexposed or that it appears dark on the Viewfinder, tap a part of the image
that is in shadow. Conversely, tap a well-lit object in the image if the image
seems to be overexposed. Focus on an object with a neutral tone for a balanced
exposure. Keep in mind that tapping on another object may shift the focus from
your subject.
§ If you are using the default settings and the photo still appears too dark, switch
to Night scene, but place HTC One on a level surface to keep it steady.
§ If there are parts of the image that are in shadows and others are in highlights,
use HDR to capture three shots of different exposures and combine them into
one shot. Keep HTC One steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR.
§ When taking a panoramic photo, consider the whole scene and focus on an
object that has a neutral tone to help keep the exposure balanced in the
composite image.
§ If your subject is lit from the back, use Backlight scene to highlight the
foreground and keep some details of the background.
60Camera
Only for certification
Only for certification
Other tips
§ In Camera settings, tap Grid to help frame the subject better or improve the
composition.
§ If taking pictures under fluorescent or incandescent bulbs and the subject
appears to be off-color, choose a white balance setting in camera options.
Check the image on the Viewfinder and select the option that displays the
closest color to the natural color of the subject.
§ In Camera settings, you can tap Image adjustments and adjust the exposure,
contrast, and others before taking the photo.
§ After capturing the photo, you can continue to edit the contrast, brightness, and
other settings in Gallery. You can even straighten a slightly skewed photo by
tapping Edit > Tools > Straighten.

Photo tips when using the Duo Camera
With HTC One, take and edit professional-looking photos with ease. You don't have to
worry about turning on different settings to achieve effects that you usually get from
DSLR cameras such as bokeh and parrallax.
Just launch the Camera app to take photos right away, and then apply the effects in
Gallery afterwards.
Before taking and editing photos, here are some things you need to remember:
Composition
§ Match your subject with an interesting background. Positioning your subject
with some lights or a garden in the background will add color and distinction to
your photo, especially if you'll use the UFocus™ feature in Gallery.
§ Post-processing effects for Duo Camera may not work if your subject and
background are too close or when you're taking a close-up shot. So, mind the
distance between your subject and your background, as well as the distance
between the camera and your subject.
§ Duo Camera doesn't support zooming.
Lighting
§ Use Duo Camera in an environment where there is a good light source. Postprocessing effects for Duo Camera do not work for low-light photos or when
the flash was turned on.
§ If lighting is uneven, like when the the background is a little bit under or
overexposed, tap [_] to adjust the exposure settings.
§ Hold HTC One in such a way that you don't block the second camera lens.
