together. See Using Face Fusion on page 81.

Before taking your selfie, use Live Makeup to smoothen your skin. See Applying skin touch-ups with
Live Makeup on page 68.

your online accounts may incur extra data fees. To avoid incurring data fees, disable these features
under Settings. For more information on location services, see Turning location services on or off on
page 155.
Restoring your backup from your online storage
If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to HTC One when you turn the phone on
for the first time or after a factory reset.
Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone through your data
connection may incur additional data costs and take a long time. Using a Wi-Fi® connection is
recommended.
1. When you're asked whether you have a Google® Account, sign in to your account.
2. Use your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to connect your phone to the Internet.
3. If you used your Google login credentials as your HTC Account and your backup is in
Google Drive™, tap Sign in with Google.

phone. If this happens, try another transfer method.

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 44.
Manage your connections
§Turn off wireless connections such as mobile data, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth when not in use.
§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 155.
§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 179 and Personalizing on page 54.
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 183.
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 to edit and
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 Add icon to Home screen to avoid automatically
adding Home screen app shortcuts 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 & notification 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.

Tips for capturing better photos
To get better captures with the Camera app, here are some tips on what to do while taking your shots.
Improving focus and sharpness
§HTC One has autofocus, which works best on a subject that is not moving too much. To change
the focus, on the Viewfinder, tap the one you want to focus on.
§If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock the focus.
§You can manually adjust the sharpness of a photo by editing in Gallery. You can also set the
sharpness before taking a photo in the Camera settings.
Generally, it is better to sharpen a blurry image rather than to reduce the sharpness in an image.
Taking well-lit photos
§HTC One automatically adjusts the focus and exposure. If the image appears underexposed or that
it appears dark on the Viewfinder, tap a part of the image that is in shadow. Conversely, tap a well-
lit object in the image if the image seems to be overexposed. Focus on an object with a neutral tone
for a balanced exposure. Keep in mind that tapping on another object may shift the focus from
your subject.
§If you are using the default settings and the photo still appears too dark, switch to Night scene, but
place HTC One on a level surface to keep it steady.
§If there are parts of the image that are in shadows and others are in highlights, use HDR to capture
multiple shots of different exposures and combine them into one shot. Keep HTC One steady or
place it on a level surface when using HDR.
§When taking a panoramic photo, consider the whole scene and focus on an object that has a neutral
tone to help keep the exposure balanced in the composite image.
§If your subject is lit from the back, use Backlight scene to highlight the foreground and keep some
details of the background.
Other tips
§In Camera settings, tap Grid to help frame the subject better or improve the composition.
§If taking photos under fluorescent or incandescent bulbs and the subject appears to be off-color,
tap , and then choose a white balance setting. Check the image on the Viewfinder and select
the option that displays the closest color to the natural color of the subject.

Things to remember when using the Duo Camera
With HTC One, take and edit professional-looking photos without having to worry about "configuring"
advanced settings for effects you usually get from DSLR cameras, such as bokeh and 3D-like dimension.
Just launch the Camera app to take photos, and then apply the effects in Gallery afterwards.
Here are some tips to keep in mind so that your photos are ready for Duo Effects editing in Gallery. See
Gallery on page 75 for more information.
Settings
Switch to Camera mode and be sure to have these options set to the following:
Scene Auto
Flash Off
Filters Normal
Crop Wide 16:9
Zooming Lowest level
Lighting
§Use Duo Camera in an environment where there is a good light source. Post-processing effects for
Duo Camera do not work for low light photography or when you're using the camera flash.
§If lighting is uneven, like when the background is a little bit under or overexposed, tap to
adjust the exposure settings.

Composition
§Match your subject with an interesting background. Positioning your subject with some lights or a
garden in the background will add color and distinction to your photo, especially if you'll use the
UFocus™ feature in Gallery.
§Post-processing effects for Duo Camera may not work if your subject and background are too
close or when you're taking a close-up shot. So, mind the distance between your subject and your
background, as well as the distance between the camera and your subject.
§Still life photography looks great with Dimension Plus™ post processing. If you'll use
Dimension Plus, however, you can arrange your subject and background to be closer together and
the distance between your camera and subject can be at least 20 centimeters.
§You can't apply Duo Effects to burst shots or zoomed-in photos.

Storage and files
Phone storage
Types of storage
Want to know what types of storage you can use for your apps, data, and files?
HTC One 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 120 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 One and a USB storage device. HTC One
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 One
You can copy your music, photos, and other files to HTC One.
Save and close your files before copying them from your computer to HTC One, or vice versa.
1. Connect HTC One 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 One, or vice versa.
4. After copying the files, disconnect HTC One from the computer.

Making more storage space
As you use HTC One, 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.
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 127.
Disable some apps
See Disabling an app on page 183.
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.

Ways of backing up files, data, and settings
Worried that you might lose important stuff on HTC One? Back up HTC One 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 your phone, text
messages, and more to the cloud so that it will be easier to restore them on HTC One (after a factory reset)
or newer phone.
HTC Sync Manager
Use HTC Sync Manager to import music, photos, and videos from HTC One to your computer. You can
also sync locally stored contacts, calendar events, bookmarks, and playlists between HTC One and your
computer.
Likewise, HTC Sync Manager is a good alternative if you don't want to back up your accounts, settings,

Other backup options
If you want, you can separately back up your data or files.
Some apps allow you to back up data to the phone storage or storage card so you 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.
§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.
