services to put your media in one place so you can manage them
anywhere — on your computer, HTC One, and other mobile devices.

2. Tap Usage, and then tap an app to check how it's using the battery.

You'll see how much battery power is used by resources such as
the CPU for the app and other use details.

§ If you see buttons while viewing an app's battery use details, you
can tap them to adjust settings that affect battery usage, stop the
app, and more.

§ Want to check the battery percentage right on the status bar? In
Power settings, select Show battery level.

Checking battery history

Check how long you've been using HTC One 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. Go to Settings, and then tap Power.

2. Tap History.

Your first week with your new phone 63

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 spread your fingers or pinch 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 62.

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 211.

64 Your first week with your new phone

§ 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
Dim screen during page loading.

For more details, see Settings and security on page 272 and Personalizing
on page 94.

> Settings > Accessibility >

Manage your apps

§ Install the latest software and application updates. Updates
sometimes include battery performance improvements.

Your first week with your new phone 65

§ 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.

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
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
remove unneeded cities.

§ Choose widgets wisely.
Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones

that are not important from your Home screen.

> Settings > Sync, Send &

> Edit to

66 Your first week with your new phone

§ 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.
