adjust settings that affect battery usage, stop the app, and more.

Displaying the battery percentage

You can check the percentage of remaining battery power right from the status bar.

1. Go to Settings, and then tap Power.

2. Select Show battery level.

Checking battery history

Check how long you've been using HTC One max since the last charge. You can also

using connections like the mobile network or Wi-Fi.

1. Go to Settings, and then tap Power.

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 37.

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.

§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.

§Set the web browser to auto dim the screen while webpages load. Open the

Internet app, and then tap > Settings > Accessibility > Dim screen during

page loading.

For more details, see Settings and security on page 143 and Personalizing on page

47.

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. In Settings > Apps, swipe

to the All tab, tap the app, and then tap Disable.

38 Your first week with your new phone

Only for certification

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 > 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, 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.

2. Tap the Power saver tile to turn power saver mode on or off.

If you want to choose which phone features to conserve power for, tap first

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.

Keep in mind though that the Sleep mode option for the data connection in

Settings > Power, when enabled, overrides power saver mode.

Making more storage space

As you use HTC One max, you'll accumulate data and fill its storage capacity over

time. Here are some tips on how to increase storage space.

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, tap Storage > Make more space.

Store files in Google Drive

Photos, email attachments, and other documents can be stored in Google Drive™ and

accessed anywhere you are. You can set the Camera app to automatically upload

photos to Google Drive.

Google Drive 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.

Using data services while uploading photos and videos may be costly. You may

want to connect to Wi-Fi or disable auto upload of camera shots if you have a

limited data plan.

§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, tap Video Quality to

change the resolution.

Back up apps data

Keep only the most recent data from apps on HTC One max. You can back up

calendars, contacts, and bookmarks or export text messages, and personal

dictionaries.
