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. For more information on location services, see
Turning location services on or off on page 133.
§ If the Sleep mode option in Settings > Battery Manager 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 164 and Personalizing on page
58.

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.

44

Your first week with your new phone

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.

the rental period is either 24 or 48 hours, starting from the first viewing.

longer want to keep. In Settings, tap Storage > Make more space.

Store files in Dropbox

Storage

Manage photos and videos
§ Set the Camera app to automatically upload to a photo-sharing site or online
storage. 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. Highresolution 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 X/One X+. You can back up
calendars, contacts, and bookmarks or export text messages, and personal
dictionaries.

Disable some apps

data into the phone storage. If the app cannot be removed, you can disable it. In
Settings, tap Apps and then swipe to All. Select the app you want to disable, and then
tap Disable.

Encrypting data on HTC One X/One X+

§ All accounts you've added in Settings > Accounts & sync and the data
associated with these accounts
§ Personal data that you've created or synced to the phone such as your profile,
contacts, messages, email, calendar events, and more
§ System and application data and settings
§ Downloaded apps
Files such as your music, photos, videos, and documents will also be deleted if you
select the Erase all data option.
Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a factory reset.
A factory reset may not permanently erase all data from your phone, including
personal information.
Performing a factory reset from settings
1. Go to Settings, and then tap Backup & reset.
2. Tap Reset phone.
3. If you also want to delete media and other data on HTC One X/One X+, select
Erase all data.

factory reset by using the hardware buttons on HTC One X/One X+.
