Storage

Where apps, data, and files are stored

HTC J uses these storage types:

Apps and
data
storage

File
storage

USB
storage

Apps are installed to this storage, labeled as App storage in your phone
settings. It also stores data such as your text messages, contacts you
created or synchronized to your phone, account settings, and more.

This storage is managed and carefully guarded by your phone since it
contains your private information. When you connect your phone to
your computer, this storage is not accessible from your computer.

Storage contents will be erased when you do a factory reset. Make sure
to back up your data before starting a factory reset. Some apps allow
you to back up to your storage card, such as People.

This is another built-in storage, labeled either as Camera storage or
Phone storage in your phone settings. This is where you can store your
files.

When you connect your phone to your computer, this storage is
accessible and you can copy files between them.

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 USB On-The-Go micro cable adapter to connect HTC J and a
USB storage device. HTC J supports USB storage devices (except
portable hard drives) up to 64 GB.

Storage
card

The default storage for your files may vary from app to app. Some apps allow you to
set the default storage.

You can store your files such as photos, music, and videos to this
removable storage.

When you connect your phone to your computer, this storage is
accessible and you can copy files between them.

99 Storage

Copying files to or from the phone storage

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

1. Connect HTC J 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 J, or vice versa.

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

You can use apps that access the phone storage (such as Camera or Gallery) even if it
is connected to a computer.

Making more storage space

As you use HTC J, you will accumulate data and fill its storage capacity over time.
Here are some tips on how to increase storage 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.

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 not printing large photos or are only sending videos through MMS, use
a lower resolution. High-resolution media takes up more space. In Camera
settings, tap Aspect and Resolution for photos or tap Video Quality for videos.

Back up apps data

Keep only the most recent data from apps on HTC J. You can back up calendars,
contacts, and bookmarks or export text messages, and personal dictionaries. For
details, see Backing up files, data, and settings on page 103.

Run the storage wizard

For general clean-up purposes, use the storage wizard to uninstall apps, change
download settings for email and text messages, and delete apps data and other files.

100 Storage

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 > All, and select the app that you want to disable. Tap Disable.

Freeing up space with the storage wizard

or uninstalling apps, and changing Mail and Messages settings so that only the most
recent data are kept.

You cannot uninstall some preinstalled apps.
