If power saver mode's Data connection option is selected, HTC 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

connection is idle to save battery power.
Keep in mind though that the Sleep mode option for the data connection in

Extreme power saving mode
In times when you don't need to use much of your phone, turn Extreme power saving
mode on to extend battery life longer. In this mode, standby time can last longer than

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

§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 141.
§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 141 and Personalizing on page
49.
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 146.
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.

Phone storage
Types of storage
Want to know what types of storage you can use for your apps, data, and files?
HTC Phone has these storage types:
Phone
storage
This storage combines both the internal storage, where apps, email, data,
and text messages are stored, and the file storage, where photos, videos,
and music files are kept.
If you are running out of phone storage, see Making more storage space
on page 78 for some tips on how to free up space.
Storage
card
Use a storage card for storing more files. You can also set some apps to
store data or files directly to the card.
USB
storage
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 HTC Phone and a USB storage
device. HTC Phone supports USB storage devices (except portable hard
drives) up to 64 GB.
§Moving apps to the storage card doesn't back up the apps. If you do a factory
reset, your phone loses the apps. You'll need to reinstall them.
§When you remove the storage card and insert it in another phone, the apps on the
storage card won't be installed automatically to the other phone. You'll need to
reinstall them.
Copying files to or from HTC Phone
You can copy your music, photos, and other files to HTC Phone.
Save and close your files before copying them from your computer to HTC Phone,
or vice versa.
1. Connect HTC Phone 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 Phone, or vice versa.
4. After copying the files, disconnect HTC Phone from the computer.

Making more storage space
As you use HTC Phone, 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
Free up space in the storage by uninstalling apps and deleting files you no longer
want to keep. In Settings, tap Storage > Make more space.
Manage photos and videos
§After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot. Discard the rest,
if you don't need them.
§After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. Delete original
files or move them elsewhere, such as to your computer.
§If you're only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. Hi-res video
takes up more space. In Camera settings, tap Video Quality to change the
resolution.
Remove unused themes
Themes can quickly consume up storage space because themes can include images,
sounds and icons. Remove themes you're not using. See .
Back up data and files
Keep only the most recent data in your apps and files that you often need to use. You
can back up your other data and files. For some tips, see Ways of backing up files,
data, and settings on page 86.
Disable some apps
See Disabling an app on page 146.
Move some apps to the storage card
Some third-party apps can be moved from the phone storage to the storage card. Go
to Settings > Apps > On SD card to see which apps can be moved. To move, tap an
app, and then tap Move.
§Moving apps to the storage card doesn't back up the apps. If you do a factory
reset, your phone loses the apps. You'll need to reinstall them.
§When you remove the storage card and insert it in another phone, the apps on the
storage card won't be installed automatically to the other phone. You'll need to
reinstall them.

before you erase the storage, do a factory reset, or upgrade to a new phone.
HTC Backup
Use the built-in HTC Backup to back up your accounts, settings, contacts stored on

computer. You can also sync locally stored contacts, calendar events, bookmarks, and
playlists between HTC Phone and your computer.

backups of HTC Phone on your computer.
Other backup options
If you want, you can separately back up your data or files.

can easily restore them after a factory reset. Just make sure not to erase the phone
storage or storage card when you do a factory reset.
