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 Desire 626 has autofocus, which works best on a subject that is not moving too much.

To change the focus, on the Viewfinder, tap the subject you want to focus on.

§If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock the focus.

§You can set the sharpness before taking a photo in the Camera settings, or manually adjust

the sharpness of a photo in Photo Editor.

Generally, it is better to sharpen a blurry image rather than to reduce the sharpness in an

image.

Taking well-lit photos

§HTC Desire 626 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 Desire 626 on a level surface to keep it steady.

67 Camera

0PM9XXX User Manual_for CE/FCC certification only

§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 Desire 626 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.

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.

§In Camera settings, you can tap Image adjustments and adjust the contrast, saturation, and

sharpness before taking the photo.

§After capturing the photo, you can fine-tune the contrast, brightness, and other settings in

Photo Editor.

Using power saver mode

Power saver mode helps to increase battery life. It reduces the usage of phone features that drain

the battery such as the display and data connection.

1. From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Power.

2. Tap the Power saver On/Off switch to turn power saver mode on or off.

If you want to choose which phone features to conserve power for, tap Power saver.

If power saver mode's Data connection option is selected, HTC Desire 626 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.

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 usual, and you can only

use the most basic functions such as phone calls, text messaging, and email.

1. From the Home screen, tap > Settings > Power.

2. Tap the Extreme power saving mode On/Off switch to turn extreme power saving mode on

or off.

If you want to set when to automatically switch this mode on, tap Extreme power saving

mode and select a battery level.

Tips for extending battery life

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC Desire 626.

HTC Desire 626 power management helps to increase battery life.

If you like more control by tweaking settings on your own, try out some of these battery saving 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 110.

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 172.

111 Power and storage management

0PM9XXX User Manual_for CE/FCC certification only

§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 172 and Personalizing on page 51.

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 176.

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.

112 Power and storage management

0PM9XXX User Manual_for CE/FCC certification only

§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.

Phone storage

Types of storage

Want to know what types of storage you can use for your apps, data, and files?

HTC Desire 626 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 114

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 Desire 626 and a USB storage device.

HTC Desire 626 supports USB storage devices (except portable hard drives) up to 128

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.

Making more storage space

As you use HTC Desire 626, 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 Deleting a theme on page 53.

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 118.

Disable some apps

See Disabling an app on page 176.
