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 your phone and a USB storage device. Your phone supports USB storage devices (except portable hard drives) up to 64 GB.
● Online storage. If you’re using an online storage account that’s accessible from your phone, you can store your files to your online storage.
Settings 69
Note: The default storage for your files, whether it’s the Phone storage or SD Card, may vary
from app to app. Some apps allow you to set the default storage.

Run the Storage Wizard
Easily free up space in the phone storage by cleaning the application cache, uninstalling apps, and changing settings so that only the most recent data is kept. In Settings, touch 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.
Note: 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. When you reach the storage limit, just delete all your photos. You can retrieve them from the photo-sharing site or online storage when needed.
● 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. High-resolution video takes up more space. In Camera settings, touch Video Quality to change the resolution.
Settings 70
Back Up Apps Data
Keep only the most recent data from apps on your phone. You can back up calendars, contacts, and bookmarks or export text messages, and personal dictionaries. See Backup.

Encrypt Data on Your Phone

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.
Important: Set a lock screen PIN or password before encrypting your data.
Fully charge the battery and keep your phone connected to the power adapter during encryption. The encryption process takes about an hour.
You cannot undo encryption. If you want to return to an unencrypted phone, you must perform a factory reset.
1. Open the Notifications panel, and then touch > Storage.
2. Select the encryption option for the type of storage you want to encrypt.
3. Touch Encrypt.
4. Enter the lock screen PIN or password.
5. Touch Next.
6. Touch Encrypt. Encryption starts and the progress is displayed. The phone may restart a few times.
7. When the encryption process is complete, enter your PIN or password.

Power Settings

Use the Power settings to check the phone’s battery, enable Power saver mode, and more.

Check Battery Usage

See a ranking list of apps that are using the battery. You can also see how much and how long the battery has been used for each app.
Settings 71
► Open the Notifications panel, and then touch > Power > Usage. You’ll see how much
battery power is used by apps and resources such as the operating system.
Tip: If you see buttons while viewing an app’s battery use details, you can touch them to
adjust settings that affect battery usage, stop the app, and more.

Check Battery History

Check how long you’ve been using the phone since the last charge. You can also see a chart that shows how long the screen has been on, and how long you’ve been using connections like the mobile network or Wi‑Fi.
1. Open the Notifications panel, and then touch > Power > History.
2. If you’ve used the phone for a long time since the last charge, swipe left or right to scale the graph that details battery usage over time.
Tip: You can also spread your fingers or pinch to scale the graph.

Optimize Battery Life with Power Saver Mode

Turning power saver mode on helps increase battery life. It reduces the usage of phone features that drain the battery such as the CPU and display.
1. Open the Notifications panel.
2. Touch the Power saver notification to choose which phone features to conserve power for.
Note: If Data connection is selected, your phone 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.
3. Touch the On/Off switch next to Power saver to turn power saver mode on or off.

Battery Saving Tips

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use your phone. The power management features of your phone helps increase battery life. In times when you need to extend the battery life more, try out some of these tips.
Check Power 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 Check Battery Usage.
Settings 72
Manage Your Connections
● Turn off wireless connections you’re not using. To turn on or off connections such as Wi‑Fi, or Bluetooth, go to Settings and touch their On/Off switches.
● Turn off data connection when you don’t need it. More power is used when you’re in low coverage areas. Temporarily turning off your data connection uses less battery power.
● 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 touch Location to turn this setting on or off.
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 touch > Settings > Accessibility > Dim screen during page loading.
For more details, see Display Settings.
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. See Uninstall Third-party Apps.
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, touch the app, and then touch Disable.
Settings 73
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, touch 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, touch > 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
touch > 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, touch > Settings, and then clear Auto-add widgets to avoid automatically adding Home screen widgets whenever you’ve installed new apps. Also, touch Auto-update apps and select Do not auto-update apps if you’re fine with updating apps from Play Store manually.
