Storage

Types of storage

Want to know what types of storage you can use for your apps, data, and files?

HTC Butterfly has these storage types:

Phone storageThis storage combines both the internal storage, where apps, email, data, and text messages are stored, and the file storage, where photos, videos, and music files are kept.When you are running out of phone storage, you can free up space by uninstalling apps, changing download settings, or moving files to your storage card, your computer, or an online storage service.
Storage cardUse a storage card for storing more files. You can also set apps such as Camera to store directly to the card.
USB storageWhen you plug in an external USB storage device (such as a USB flash drive or an SD card reader), you can view photos and videos stored on the device right from Gallery and play songs stored on the device in Music. You can also open PDFs and edit Office documents.You need a USB On-The-Go micro cable adapter to connect HTC Butterfly and a USB storage device. HTC Butterfly supports USB storage devices (except portable hard drives) up to 64 GB.
Online storageIf you're using an online storage account that's accessible from HTC Butterfly, you can store your files to your online storage.

Making more storage space

Store files in Dropbox

Photos, email attachments, and other documents can be stored in Dropbox and accessed anywhere you are. You can set the Camera app to automatically upload photos to Dropbox.

Manage photos and videos

  • Set the Camera app to automatically upload to a photo-sharing site or online storage. When you reach the storage limit, just delete all your photos. You can retrieve them from the photo-sharing site or online storage when needed.
  • 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 not printing large photos or are only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. High-resolution media takes up more space. In Camera settings, tap Aspect and Resolution for photos or tap Video Quality for videos.

Back up apps data

Optimizing battery life with power saver mode

Turning power saver mode on helps to increase battery life. It reduces the usage of phone features that drain the battery such as the CPU and display.

  1. Slide the Notifications panel open.

If you want to choose which phone features to conserve power for, tap the Power saver notification first before you turn power saver mode on.

HTC Butterfly - Optimizing battery life with power saver mode - 1

If Data connection is selected, HTC Butterfly automatically disconnects from the mobile network after 15 minutes when it's in sleep mode and the data connection is idle (no download activity, streaming, or data usage). It reconnects and then disconnects periodically when the data connection is idle to save battery power.

  1. Tap the check button next to the Power saver notification to turn power saver mode on or off.

Getting the battery to last longer

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC Butterfly. HTC Butterfly power management helps to increase battery life.

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 33.

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.
  • 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 tap Mobile data > Network mode > GSM only.

- 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.

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 Changing display settings on page 193 and Personalizing on page 40.

Manage your apps

  • Install the latest software and application updates. Updates sometimes include battery performance improvements. See Updating the HTC Butterfly software on page 18.
  • 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, tap Apps > All tab, select 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.

  • 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 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.
