HTC One (E8) has two card slots that allow you to insert a nano UIM card and GSM
nano SIM card.

2. Insert the tip of the tray eject tool (or a small bent paperclip) into the tray eject

hole next to the nano UIM/nano SIM card slot.

3. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the card tray ejects.

4. Pull the card tray out.

5. In SIM 1 holder, place a CDMA nano UIM card or 3G/GSM nano SIM card. In SIM 2

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.

51 Your first week with your new phone

§ 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.

For more details, see Settings and security on page 167 and Personalizing on page

53.

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. See Disabling an app on
page 172.

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 to edit and 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 Add icon to Home screen to
avoid automatically adding Home screen app shortcuts 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.

52 Your first week with your new phone

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.

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.

Improving focus and sharpness

§ HTC One (E8) 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 (E8) 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 (E8) 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 multiple shots of different exposures and combine them
into one shot. Keep HTC One (E8) 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.

64 Camera

Other tips

§ In Camera settings, tap Grid to help frame the subject better or improve the
composition.

§ If taking photos under fluorescent or incandescent bulbs and the subject
appears to be off-color, tap , and then choose a white balance setting. 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 contrast,
saturation, and sharpness before taking the photo.

§ After capturing the photo, you can continue to edit the contrast, brightness, and
other settings in Gallery.

Recording video

the subject to make obvious lateral movements.

§ When taking a group photo, ask your subjects to hold the pose until you have
finished capturing.
