About this guide
In this user guide, we use the following symbols to indicate useful and important
information:
This is a note. A note often gives additional information, such as what happens
when you choose to do or not to do a certain action. A note also provides
information that may only be applicable to some situations.
This is a tip. A tip gives you an alternative way to do a particular step or
procedure, or lets you know of an option that you may find helpful.
This indicates important information that you need in order to accomplish a
certain task or to get a feature to work properly.
This provides safety precaution information, that is, information that you need
to be careful about to prevent potential problems.
Some apps may not be available in all regions or with your mobile operator.

For clear, sharp shots
ƒ Tap the screen to focus and dynamically readjust the image contrast, which
is sometimes desirable if you wish to take a macro to get an off-center bokeh
effect or take photos while you're moving. Adjust the exposure to brighten
the subject or make the subject look darker and richer. For details, see Quickly
adjusting the exposure of your photos.
ƒ
If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock
the focus.
ƒ
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 Phone steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR.
See Using HDR for details.
ƒ 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.
ƒ Make sure you're not moving the camera when taking a photo, especially in low
light conditions. Hold the phone steady and don't move the camera while taking
RAW photos in Pro mode.
Other tips
ƒ In Camera settings, tap Grid to help frame the subject better or improve the
composition.
ƒ After capturing, you can enhance the photo in the Google Photos app.

Taking a RAW photo
Want to keep more detail in your shots, or fix the lighting in post processing?
With Pro mode, you can take photos that will be saved as RAW image files in DNG

storage card as the default storage for photos and videos.

if you only want to save a JPG compressed version.
How does the Camera app capture RAW
photos?
The Camera app captures a photo in both the DNG RAW format and JPG format.
Digital Negative (DNG) is an open-standard lossless RAW image format. Since a RAW
file is typically 2 to 6 times larger than a JPEG file and is not viewable in most photo
viewer apps, a photo is captured in both DNG and JPG formats. When you use the
icon on a photo to indicate that there is a DNG
Google Photos app, you'll see a
RAW format version of the file.
RAW photos are not processed when captured to preserve most of the original
image data—such as dynamic range—so you can adjust lighting or make professional
adjustments using advanced editing tools. After making adjustments, save the RAW
photo as a JPG file if you want to print or share it.

Tips for extending battery life
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use
HTC Phone.
Try out some of these tips to help increase battery life.
Use the power management features
ƒ Turn Power saver mode and Extreme power saver mode on in Settings.
ƒ Monitoring your battery usage helps identify what's using the most power so
you can choose what to do about it. For details, see Checking battery usage.
Manage your connections
ƒ
Turn off wireless connections such as mobile data, Wi-Fi, or Bluetooth when not
in use.
ƒ 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.
ƒ 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.
ƒ Use automatic brightness which is the default, or manually lower the brightness.
See Screen brightness.
ƒ Set the screen timeout to a shorter time. See Setting when to turn off the screen.
ƒ 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. See Setting your Home wallpaper.

Manage your apps
ƒ Battery optimization helps extend battery standby time. See Battery
optimization for apps.
ƒ Install the latest software and application updates. Updates sometimes include
battery performance improvements.
ƒ 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.
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.
ƒ 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.
ƒ If you have many email accounts, consider prolonging the sync time of some
accounts.
> Settings > Sync, Send & Receive, and then
In the Mail app, select an account, tap
adjust the settings under Sync schedule.
ƒ 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
to edit and remove unneeded cities.
Weather app, and then tap
ƒ Choose widgets wisely.
Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are not
important from your Home screen.
ƒ
> Settings, and then clear Add icon to Home screen
In Play Store, tap
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:
ƒ Tone down the ringtone and media volume.
ƒ Minimize the use of vibration or sound feedback. In Settings, tap Sound &
notification and choose which ones you don't need and can disable.
ƒ Check your apps’ settings as you may find more options to optimize the battery.

Battery optimization for apps
When you have connections such as Wi-Fi on while the phone is in sleep mode, some
apps may still continue to use the battery.

The phone needs to be sitting idle for an extended period of time before battery
optimization takes effect.

Freeing up 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 free up phone storage space.
Manage photos and videos
ƒ After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot. Discard the rest,
if you don't need them.
ƒ 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.
ƒ
If you're only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. Hi-res video
takes up more space.
ƒ RAW image files take up a lot of storage space. It's recommended to use a
storage card as the default storage for photos and videos. If your storage card is
running low on space, consider moving RAW image files to your computer.
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.
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.
Remove or disable apps
Uninstall apps that you've downloaded if no longer need them. See Uninstalling an
app.
Preinstalled apps can be disabled when you're not using them. See Disabling an app.

Move apps to the storage card
Third-party apps that you've downloaded and installed can be moved to the storage
card if you've set up the card as internal storage. See Moving apps and data between
the phone storage and storage card and Moving an app to or from the storage card.
Types of storage
Starting from Android 6.0, there have been some changes on how and where
downloaded apps and their data can be stored.
Phone storage
This is the internal storage which contains the Android system, preinstalled apps,
email, text messages, and cached data from the apps. You can also install apps that
you've downloaded and capture photos, videos, and screenshots to this storage.
Storage card
Use your storage card as a removable storage to store and access your media and
other files on HTC Phone or any Android phone, or set it up as an extension of the
internal storage. See Should I use the storage card as removable or internal storage?.
USB storage
You can plug in an external USB storage device such as a USB flash drive or an SD
card reader. You need a special cable to connect HTC Phone and a USB storage
device.
Should I use the storage card as removable or
internal storage?
Use your storage card as removable storage when there's already content such as your
media and other files so that you don't lose these content.
If you have a brand new storage card, choose whether to use it as removable storage
or set it up as an extension of the internal storage.
Removable storage
Use a new storage card as removable storage to be able to insert and use the card on
HTC Phone and other Android phones.

Internal storage
Set up a new storage card as internal storage for more privacy and secure use. This
encrypts and formats the storage card to work just like the internal storage.
This also expands the internal storage space since:
ƒ Captured screenshots, camera shots, media, and other files will be stored on the
storage card.
ƒ Third-party apps that you installed and their data can be moved between the
phone storage and storage card.
After setting up the storage card as internal storage, the card can only be used
on HTC Phone where it has been formatted.
Setting up your storage card as internal
storage
When you insert a storage card that has not been used on HTC Phone before, the
card will be mounted as removable storage by default.
If the storage card is new or doesn't have content you want to keep, you can format
the storage card to use it as internal storage for HTC Phone.
ƒ See Should I use the storage card as removable or internal storage? to find
out the differences between using the storage card as removable storage or
internal storage.
ƒ If there are still files on the storage card, back up the files first before you
format the card.
1. From the Home screen, tap
2. Under Removable storage, tap
> Settings > Storage.
next to the storage card name.
3. Tap Format as internal > Erase & format > Format.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to move your installed apps and their data from
the phone storage to the storage card.
If you no longer want to use your storage card as internal storage, you can
reformat the card as removable storage. Before you do so, make sure to move
all the apps and data from the card back to the phone storage. See Moving
apps and data between the phone storage and storage card.

Moving apps and data between the phone
storage and storage card
If you've set up your storage card as internal storage, you can move third-party apps
that you installed and their data such as photos, media, and downloaded files to the
storage card to free up phone storage space.
If you no longer want to use your storage card as internal storage, make sure to move
all the apps and data from the card back to the phone storage.
1. From the Home screen, tap
> Settings > Storage.
2. Tap the name of your storage card if you're moving app data from the phone
storage to the card, or tap Phone storage if you're moving data from the storage
card back to the phone storage.
3. Tap
> Migrate data.
4. Tap Move.
ƒ Screenshots will also be migrated.
ƒ When you take new photos or videos, capture new screenshots, or download
new files after the migration, they will be saved to the new storage location.
Moving an app to or from the storage card
When you're running out of phone storage space, you can move a downloaded app
and its data to the storage card if the card has been set up as internal storage.
If you need to reformat your storage card, make sure to move each app and its data
back to the phone storage before formatting the card.
Preinstalled apps cannot be moved. Some third-party apps you've downloaded
and installed to the phone storage may also not allow you to move them to the
storage card.
1. From the Home screen, tap
> Settings > Storage.

Backup and reset
Ways of backing up files, data, and settings
Worried that you might lose important stuff on HTC Phone?
Back up HTC Phone before you remove content from the storage, do a factory reset,
or upgrade to a new phone.
Android Backup Service
Use your Google Account to automatically back up app data and settings including
Wi-Fi passwords and files stored by certain apps.
HTC Sync Manager
Use HTC Sync Manager to import music, photos, and videos from HTC Phone to your
computer. You can also sync locally stored contacts and playlists between HTC Phone
and your computer.
Likewise, HTC Sync Manager is a good alternative if you don't want to back up your
accounts, settings, and other personal content to the cloud. You can use it to create
backups of HTC Phone on your computer.
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 storage card—if it's used as removable
storage—so you can easily restore them after a factory reset. Just make sure not to
erase the storage card when you do a factory reset.
In certain apps, you may be able to use the phone storage for backing up and
restoring app data. If an app is causing some problem and you need to clear its data
to try resolving the problem, back up the app data to the phone storage first.
Messages
Back up your text messages to the storage card or phone storage,
or save them as an email attachment.
Contacts
ƒ Save contacts and other personal data to your online accounts so
you can just sync them when switching to another phone.
ƒ If you have locally stored contacts in the People app, export them
to the storage card or phone storage.
Files
Connect HTC Phone to your computer as a disk drive to manually
copy and paste files to your computer.
Other data
Check other apps to see if they support exporting data to the storage card or phone storage.

Using Android Backup Service
Starting from Android 6.0, use the Android Backup Service to back up your HTC
phone to Google Drive™.
This service can back up and restore the following:
Back up
App data
What content or settings are backed up
ƒ In HTC apps, app data includes contacts stored on HTC Phone,
call history, Clock and Weather city list, and email accounts.
ƒ Data from third-party apps may also be saved in the backup,
depending on the app developer settings.
Settings
These include ringtones, grid size and sort order on theApps
screen, Wi-Fi networks and passwords and some device settings.
When auto backup is enabled, the Android Backup Service periodically backs up your
phone to a private folder in Google Drive. Auto backup occurs every 24 hours when
the phone is idle, charging, and connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Backup data will not count towards your Google Drive storage quota. Large files or
files that app developers have chosen to exclude from the service will not be backed
up.
Restoring your wallpaper from your old phone may depend on screen resolution
compatibility of both your old phone and HTC Phone.
Backing up HTC Phone
Automatically back up HTC Phone to Google Drive so you can restore content such as
app data and settings when needed.
1. From the Home screen, tap
> Settings > Backup & reset.
2. Tap Back up my data.
3. Tap the On/Off switch to turn it on, and then press
4. Make sure Automatic restore is turned on.
This allows an app's data and settings saved through the Android Backup Service to
be restored when you reinstall the app on HTC Phone.
To select a backup account other than your primary Google Account, tap
Backup account and then select another Google Account. You can also tap Add
account to add a new Google Account for your backup.
