For more details, see Taking ultra-wide or standard photos on page 47.

Portraits

Capture awesome portraits with HTC Desire 19s.

Android 9.0 in HTC Desire 19s

Android ^™ 9.0 in HTC Desire 19s brings features that make handling phone calls, battery usage, and app notifications more efficient. Here's an overview of some of its features.

Incoming call pop-up

From taking up the entire screen, you can set incoming phone calls to show as a pop-up. It takes the pressure off to immediately accept or reject an incoming call, especially when you're busy using an app.

For details, see Showing incoming call as a pop-up notification on page 57.

More control over battery-draining apps

Check which apps are draining your battery and enable background restriction for these apps. This prevents them from using the battery while running in the background. See Enabling background restriction in apps on page 77.

Manage notifications better

You have more control over your notifications. It's easier to stop those that you don't want to receive anymore. Just press and hold on a notification to see your options. When you're using apps such as Google Messages and Gmail, you can now reply to messages right from the Notifications panel.

Digital Wellbeing

Keep track of how long you use your phone daily, such as how often you unlocked the screen and how much time you spent on each app. You can set app timers to limit yourself from over spending time on certain apps, set a bedtime schedule with the Wind Down feature, and more.

To learn more, see this article in Android Help Center: Manage how you spend time on your Android phone with Digital Wellbeing.

More intuitive design

Enjoy a refreshed look for some screens, such as the Quick Settings. The volume bar is also more accessible, and you can conveniently switch between silent, vibrate, and normal modes from it. You'll be delighted as subtle design improvements make for a better overall experience.

Unboxing and setup

HTC Desire 19s overview

After taking HTC Desire 19s out of the box, familiarize yourself first with the location of the card tray, controls, and sensors.

1. VOLUME control
2. POWER button
3. Speaker
4. USB Type-C ^TM connector
5. Microphones
6. 3.5mm headset jack
7. nano SIM and storage card tray
8. Proximity and light sensor
9. Front camera
10. Notification LED

You need a 4G/LTE ^™ plan to use your operator's 4G/LTE network for voice calls and data services. Check with your operator for details.

• If you want to use a case or screen protector, don't cover and block the proximity sensor. Purchase a case or screen protector designed for HTC Desire 19s.
• Avoid liquid or dust from entering the microphone hole to prevent damage to the microphone.
• Avoid connecting third-party headsets or accessories with metallic charms that dangle near the headset jack. Using these may affect signal reception.
• Don't disassemble any part of the phone. Don't try to open the phone or remove the battery by force. This may damage the phone or its electronics and will invalidate the warranty.

Inserting the nano SIM and microSD cards

• Use a standard nano SIM card. A modified card that is thicker than the standard nano SIM card will not fit properly on the tray and may damage the card slot.

• The microSD ^TM card is optional and sold separately.

• Hold the phone face up.

• Insert the tip of the tray eject tool that came with your phone—or a small bent paperclip—into the tray eject hole.

When inserting the eject tool into the tray eject hole to remove the card tray, do not obstruct the tray to avoid damaging the eject mechanism inside the slot.

1. Push the tip all the way into the hole until the tray ejects, and then pull the tray out.

2. Do the following to place your nano SIM and microSD cards into the tray:

With the gold contacts facing down, place two nano SIM cards into the SIM 1 and SIM 2 holders of the tray. Make sure to align the cut-off corners to the notches on the holders.

Both SIM 1 and SIM 2 cards can be 4G LTE cards. To find out how to set the preferred card for your mobile data connection, see Managing your nano SIM cards with Dual network manager on page 18.

When you need to use a microSD card, remove your second nano SIM card and then place the microSD card on the SIM 2/SD holder. You cannot have both the second nano SIM card and the microSD card inserted at the same time.

14 Unboxing and setup

1. When reinserting the tray, make sure it is facing up so that your cards don't fall out. With the outer card holder between your fingers, steadily slide the tray all the way into the slot.

Hand inserting a SIM card into a device (no text or symbols visible)

1. Make sure the tray is fully inserted and doesn't protrude from the slot.

Battery

Tips for extending battery life

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC Desire 19s. Try out some of these tips to help increase battery life.

Use the power management features

• Turn Battery Saver on in Settings. See Using Battery saver mode on page 76.
• 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 on page 76.

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 the location setting on or off on page 114.
• 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.

• Lower the screen brightness when you don't need it. See Screen brightness on page 115.
• Set the screen timeout to a shorter time. See Setting when to turn off the screen on page 115.
• 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 screen wallpaper on page 40.

Manage your apps

• Battery optimization helps extend battery standby time. See Battery optimization for apps on page 76.

• Restrict battery usage of apps running in the background. See Enabling background restriction in apps on page 77.

• 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 96.

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 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.

If you are using the HTC 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.
• Choose widgets wisely.

Some widgets constantly sync data. Consider removing the ones that are not important from your Home screen.

- In Google Play Store, tap >Settings, and then tap Auto-update apps> Don't auto-update apps if you're fine with updating apps from Google 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 > Advanced 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.

Another way to check the battery usage per app is to go to Settings, and then tap Apps & notifications > See all _ apps. Tap the app you want to check, and then tap Advanced > 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. Starting from Android 6.0, battery optimization is enabled for all apps by default which helps prolong battery standby time when you're not using the phone.

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

Turning battery optimization off in apps

If there are apps that you don't want battery optimization enabled, you can turn the feature off in those apps.

1. From the Home screen, swipe up and then find and tap Settings.

Checking which apps are battery restricted

1. From the Home screen, swipe up and then find and tap Settings.

2. Tap Battery Battery Manager.

3. Tap Restricted apps to see the list of battery restricted apps.

- You'll see this option only when there are apps running in the background that you've restricted from using the battery.

- On the Restricted apps screen, you can enable or disable restriction for each app.

Storage

Freeing up storage space

As you use HTC Desire 19s, 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

• 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.
• Turn on Storage manager to help handle old photos and videos on your phone.

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 98.

For more details on HTC Themes, go to http://www.htc.com/support/apps/themes/.

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.

Remove or disable apps

Uninstall apps that you've downloaded if no longer need them. See Uninstalling an app on page 89.

Preinstalled apps can be disabled when you're not using them. See Disabling an app on page 96.

Manually free up space

On the Storage screen, tap Free Up Space. The phone then checks the phone storage and then suggest items that you may want to delete.

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 built-in storage and storage card on page 80 and Moving an app to or from the storage card on page 81.

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 Desire 19s 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? on page 79.

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 Desire 19s and a USB storage device.

Should I use the storage card as removable or internal storage?

Use your storage card as removable storage when you have content on the card, such as media or photos, that you don't want to lose. 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 access the card's contents on HTC Desire 19s or other Android devices.

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:

• Captured screenshots, photos, media, and other files will be stored on the storage card.
• Third-party apps that you installed and their data can be moved between the built-in storage and storage card.

After setting up the storage card as internal storage, the card can only be used on HTC Desire 19s 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 Desire 19s 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 it as internal storage for HTC Desire 19s.

• See Should I use the storage card as removable or internal storage? on page 79 to find out the differences between using the storage card as removable storage or internal storage.

• If there are still files on the storage card, back up the files first before you format the card.

• From the Home screen, swipe up and then tap Settings >Storage.

• Under Portable storage, tap next to the storage card name.
• Tap Format as internal Format SD card.
• Follow the onscreen instructions to move your installed apps and their data from the built-in storage to the storage card.
