Getting the battery to last longer

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use

HTC phone.

In times when you need to extend the battery life more, try out some of these 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 27.

27 Your first week with your new phone

Only for FCC certification

Manage your connections

§Turn off wireless connections you're not using. Go to Settings to turn on or off

connections such as mobile data, Wi‑Fi, or Bluetooth®.

§Switch to 2G when you don't need a data connection.

More power is used when you're in low coverage areas. Temporarily turning off

your data connection and switching to GSM network mode uses less battery

power.

To switch to GSM mode, go to Settings, and then tap More under Wireless &

networks. Tap Mobile networks > Use only 2G networks.

§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 access

to turn this setting on or off.

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.

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.

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.

28 Your first week with your new phone

Only for FCC certification

§If you have many email accounts, consider prolonging the sync time of some

accounts.

§Choose widgets wisely.

Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are not

important from your Home screen.

§In Play Store, press , tap Settings, and then clear Auto-add widgets to avoid

automatically adding Home screen widgets whenever you've installed new apps.

Also clear 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.
