1. Go to Settings, and then tap Power.

2. Tap History.

3. If you've used HTC One 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. HTC One 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 38.

39 Your first week with your new phone

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. For more information on location services, see

Turning location services on or off on page 133.

§ 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.

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 page loading.

For more details, see Settings and security on page 166 and Personalizing on page

57.

> Settings > Accessibility > Dim screen during

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.

40 Your first week with your new phone

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.

41 Your first week with your new phone

Using power saver mode

Power saver mode helps to increase battery life. It reduces the usage of phone features that drain the battery such as the display and data connection.

1. With two fingers, swipe down from the status bar to open Quick Settings.

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.

If power saver mode's Data connection option is selected, HTC One automatically disconnects from the mobile network after 15 minutes when the screen is off and the data connection is idle (no download activity, streaming, or data usage). 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

Phone storage

Types of storage

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

HTC One has these storage types:

Phone storage

USB storage

Online 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.

When you are running out of phone storage, you can free up space by uninstalling apps, changing download settings, or moving files to your computer or to an online storage service.

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 and a USB storage device. HTC One supports USB storage devices (except portable hard drives) up to 64 GB.

If you're using an online storage account that's accessible from HTC One, you can store your files to your online storage.

Copying files to or from HTC One

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

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

1. Connect HTC One 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, or vice versa.

4. After copying the files, disconnect HTC One from the computer.

99 Storage

Making more storage space

As you use HTC One, 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

Free up space in the phone storage by uninstalling apps and deleting files you no longer want to keep. In Settings, tap Storage > Make more space.

Store files in Dropbox

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

Dropbox 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. 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. 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.

100 Storage

Encrypting data on HTC One

You can encrypt data such as your online accounts, settings, music files and other media. After encryption, you will need to enter the screen lock PIN or password to turn on your phone and access the data.

§ Set a lock screen PIN or password before encrypting your data.

§ Fully charge the battery and keep HTC One connected to the power adapter
