Pick up to lower volume
In a business meeting or restaurant, pick
HTC One up when a call comes in to
lower the ring volume automatically.
You can turn this feature on or off. Go to
Settings, tap Sound, and then select or
clear Quiet ring on pickup.
Increase ring volume automatically while phone is in your pocket or
bag
Pocket mode makes HTC One recognize when your
phone is in your bag or pocket and raise the ring volume
so that you can hear it in noisy environments.
You can turn this feature on or off. Go to Settings, tap
Sound, and then select or clear Pocket mode.
Rotate HTC One for a better view
For many screens, you can
automatically change the screen
orientation from portrait to
landscape by turning HTC One
sideways.

HTC One sideways to bring up a
