Battery
HTC EVO V 4G uses a rechargeable battery. How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC EVO V 4G. The features and accessories you use can affect battery life. For example, leaving your Bluetooth ^® connection always on uses more power. Long phone calls and frequent web browsing use up a lot of battery power. Also, consider your location: poor signal strength from your mobile network and extreme temperature make the battery work harder.
Removing the battery
-
Take the back cover off.
-
With your thumb or finger, lift the battery from the battery compartment.

Inserting the battery

Please use only original batteries that came in the box or replacements that we recommend.
-
Take the back cover off.
-
Insert the battery (with its exposed copper contacts first) into the battery compartment.

Charging the battery
Before you turn on and start using HTC EVO V 4G, it is recommended that you charge the battery.

- Only the power adapter and USB cable provided in the box must be used to charge the battery.
-
Do not remove the battery from HTC EVO V 4G while you are charging it using the power or car adapter.
-
Insert the small end of the USB cable into the USB connector.

- Insert the other end of the USB cable into the power adapter.
- Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.

As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging if it overheats.
Getting the battery to last longer
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC EVO V 4G. The features and accessories you use can affect battery life.
You can get the battery to last longer by following a few simple tips:
- Turn off the display when you're not using it
■ Lower the volume - Close battery-intensive programs, such as the Camera, when you're done using them
■ Make sure apps are closed and not continuously running in the background
■ Use the power adapter whenever possible
Switching the power on or off
Switching the power on
Press the Power button. Easy.

When you turn on HTC EVO V 4G for the first time, you'll need to set it up.
Switching the power off
- If the display is off, press the Power button to turn it back on, then unlock the screen.
- Press and hold the Power button for a few seconds.
- When the Power options menu appears, tap Power off.
What are Wireless Emergency Alerts/CMAS?
Wireless Emergency Alerts (WEA), also known as CMAS, is a part of a national alerting system called IPAWS (Integrated Public Alert and Warning System) that enables emergency management officials to rapidly disseminate the warnings and safety information via text alerts to wireless phones based on the phones' geographic location. The Federal Emergency Management Agency or FEMA is responsible for receiving the alerting information and forwarding the alerts to participating wireless carriers such as Sprint. Such alerts may come from the President of the United States; the National Weather Service, state or county public safety officials. This system is integrated into the same national alerting services that serve television and radio today. For more information regarding WEA/CMAS please go to FEMA website.

Top questions on 3D camera
How does the phone display in 3D?
Your phone has an extra layer (a parallax barrier) on top of the display that simulates 3D depth. This allows your eyes to each see a different image through this layer, simulating a sense of depth. When you move or tilt your phone at a different angle, you may see the 3D image misalign and align again.

- Viewing 3D images may cause symptoms such as eye strain, dizziness and nausea in some people. If you experience such symptoms or discomfort, immediately stop using the 3D function and seek medical advice.
- You should take periodic breaks when using the 3D function to prevent these symptoms and/or impairment of vision. You should avoid viewing the 3D images continuously for a prolonged period of time.
- Children under the age of 7 should not use the 3D function as this may affect or damage developing eyes.
- Discuss specific concerns with your optometrist, ophthalmologist, or physician.
What's the maximum resolution for 3D and 2D photos?
The maximum capture resolution is different for 3D and 2D photos.
- Your phone captures 3D photos at 2 megapixel resolution. This is fixed and cannot be changed in the camera settings.
- In the camera settings, you can choose the resolution you want to use for 2D photos. The maximum resolution is 5 megapixels.
What's the maximum resolution for 3D and 2D videos?
The maximum capture resolution is 720p (HD) at 30fps.
- The resolution for 3D videos is fixed and cannot be changed in the camera settings.
- In the camera settings, you can choose the resolution you want to use for 2D videos.
What's the best distance for capturing 3D photos and videos?
Ideally, the minimum distance from your subject is at least 50 cm (1.6 ft). As for the maximum distance, try not to go beyond 3.5 meters (11 ft).
What capture file formats are available for 3D photos?
Capture 3D photos in jps (JPEG stereo) or mpo (Multiple-picture object format) file format. Switch the camera to 3D mode and then choose which format you want to use from the camera settings.
How can I view 3D photos on my computer?
If you don't have a 3D panel and 3D photo viewer software on your computer, you can save 3D photos as normal jpeg images in the Gallery app first before copying and viewing them on your computer.
