7 About this guide

About this guide

In this user guide, we use the following symbols to indicate useful and important information:

This is a note. A note often gives additional information, such as what happens when you choose
to do or not to do a certain action. A note also provides information that may only be applicable
to some situations.

This is a tip. A tip gives you an alternative way to do a particular step or procedure, or lets you
know of an option that you may find helpful.

This indicates important information that you need in order to accomplish a certain task or to
get a feature to work properly.

This provides safety precaution information, that is, information that you need to be careful
about to prevent potential problems.

Some apps may not be available in all regions or with your mobile operator.

8 Important note on recoverable data

Important note on recoverable data

Files and other data that have been deleted, cleared, removed, or erased from your device
may still be recoverable by third-party data recovery software. Even a factory reset may not
permanently erase all data from your phone, including personal information.

Android 5.0 Lollipop update

With the Android™ 5.0 Lollipop update, enjoy enhancements to some of your favorite features.
Here are some of the changes:

Bolder, user-centered design

Google® apps take on a new, colorful, and responsive design that brings a consistent, intuitive
experience across Android devices. The design elements extend to the Android user interface. For a
start, check out the revamped Recent apps screen or the Notifications panel.

More control over notifications

that show on the lock screen. See Choosing what notifications to show on the lock screen on page

61.

Get back to recent apps after a reboot

When you restart your phone in earlier Android versions, all your recently opened apps will be
cleared. In Lollipop, they're still be present on the Recept apps screen after a reboot.

Searchable settings

Overwhelmed with the options that you can change in Settings? Use the new search bar in Settings
to quickly find the relevant option.

Smart Lock

Set up your phone to unlock the screen just by detecting your face. Or you can use another trusted
device, such as your car's Bluetooth® system, to unlock your phone once they're connected. See

notification in the status bar. To restore paid apps, you need to download and install them from
Google Play.

network or Wi-Fi.

1. From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Power.

HTC One power management helps to increase battery life.

If you like more control by tweaking settings on your own, try out some of these battery saving 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 44.

46 Your first week with your new phone

Manage your connections

§ Turn off wireless connections such as mobile data, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth when not in use.

§ Turn GPS on only when a precise location is needed, such as while using navigation or

location-based apps. See Turning location services on or off on page 155.

§ 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.

For more details, see Settings and security on page 177 and Personalizing on page 54.

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 180.

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.

47 Your first week with your new phone

§ 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.

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 & notification 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 has autofocus, which works best on a subject that is not moving too much. To
change the focus, on the Viewfinder, tap the subject you want to focus on.

§ If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock the focus.

§ You can set the sharpness before taking a photo in the Camera settings, or manually adjust

the sharpness of a photo in Photo Editor.
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.

64 Camera

§ 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 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.

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 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 fine-tune the contrast, brightness, and other settings in
Photo Editor.

Tips on using the Duo Camera

Here are important tips to keep in mind while using the Duo Camera so that your photos can be
captured with sufficient depth information, if you want to apply Duo Effects to them in Photo
Editor.

Lighting

§ Make sure your hand doesn't block the second camera lens.

§ The flash is always off when you're using the Duo Camera, so make sure you take your photos

in an environment where there is a good light source. Post-processing Duo Effects do not
work for low light photography.

§ If lighting is uneven, like when the background is a little bit under or overexposed, tap to
adjust the exposure value.

1 m ~ 2 m

68 Camera

Composition

§ Choose an interesting background for your subject. Positioning your subject with some lights
or a garden in the background will add color and distinction to your photo, especially if you'll
apply the UFocus™ effect later.

§ Duo Effects may not work on a close-up shot or on a photo that has the subject too close to
the background. So, mind the distance between the camera and your subject, as well as the
distance between your subject and your background.

§ Still life photography looks great with Dimension Plus™ post processing. If you'll use
Dimension Plus, however, you can arrange your subject and background to be closer together
and the distance between your camera and subject can be at least 30 centimeters.

See Photo Editor on page 85 for more information about Duo Effects.
