Tips for capturing better photos
To get better captures with the Camera app, here are some tips on what to do while taking your
shots.
Before capturing
§ Make sure that the camera and flash lenses are clean and without fingerprints. The same goes
for the laser autofocus sensor. Use a soft, clean, microfiber cloth to wipe them.
§ Hold the phone so that your fingers aren't blocking the camera and flash lenses. Also make
sure that your fingers aren't near the laser autofocus sensor.
67 Taking photos and videos
For clear, sharp shots
§ The laser autofocus intelligently finds the best shot based on its position and pointed
direction.
§ Tap the screen to focus and dynamically readjust the image contrast, which is sometimes
desirable if you wish to take a macro to get an off-center bokeh effect or take photos while
you're moving. Adjust the exposure to brighten the subject or make the subject look darker
and richer. For details, see Quickly adjusting the exposure of your photos on page 71.
§ If the subject is moving, on the Viewfinder, press and hold the subject to lock the focus.
§ If there are parts of the image that are in shadows and others are in highlights, use HDR to
capture multiple shots of different exposures and combine them into one shot. Keep HTC U
Ultra steady or place it on a level surface when using HDR. See Using HDR on page 72 for
details.
§ When taking a panoramic photo, consider the whole scene and focus on an object that has a
neutral tone to help keep the exposure balanced in the composite image.
§ Make sure you're not moving the camera when taking a photo, especially in low light
conditions. Hold the phone steady and don't move the camera while taking RAW photos in
Pro mode.
Other tips
§ In Camera settings, tap Grid to help frame the subject better or improve the composition.
§ After capturing, you can enhance the photo in the Google Photos app.

How does the Camera app capture RAW photos?
The Camera app captures a photo in both the DNG RAW format and JPG format.
Digital Negative (DNG) is an open-standard lossless RAW image format. Since a RAW file is
typically 2 to 6 times larger than a JPEG file and is not viewable in most photo viewer apps, a photo
is captured in both DNG and JPG formats. When you use the Google Photos app, you'll see a
icon
on a photo to indicate that there is a DNG RAW format version of the file.
78 Advanced camera features
RAW photos are not processed when captured to preserve most of the original image data—such as
dynamic range—so you can adjust lighting or make professional adjustments using advanced editing
tools. After making adjustments, save the RAW photo as a JPG file if you want to print or share it.

Battery
Tips for extending battery life
How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC U Ultra. Try
out some of these tips to help increase battery life.
Use the power management features
§ Turn Power saver mode and Extreme power saver mode on in Settings.
§ 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 102.
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 location services on or off on page 169.
§ 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 which is the default, or manually lower the brightness. See Screen
brightness on page 170.
§ Set the screen timeout to a shorter time. See Setting when to turn off the screen on page 170.
§ 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 wallpaper on page 58.
100 Battery
Manage your apps
§ Battery optimization helps extend battery standby time. See Battery optimization for apps
on page 103.
§ 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 124.
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
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 Play Store, tap Settings, and then clear Add icon to Home screen to avoid
automatically adding Home screen app shortcuts 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 & notification 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.

Storage
Freeing up storage space
As you use HTC U Ultra, 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.
§ RAW image files take up a lot of storage space. It's recommended to use a storage card as the
default storage for photos and videos. If your storage card is running low on space, consider
moving RAW image files to your computer.
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 132.
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. For some tips, see Ways of backing up files, data, and settings on page 110.
Remove or disable apps
Uninstall apps that you've downloaded if no longer need them. See Uninstalling an app on page 120.
Preinstalled apps can be disabled when you're not using them. See Disabling an app on page 124.
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 phone storage and storage
card on page 106 and Moving an app to or from the storage card on page 107.
104 Storage
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
U Ultra 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 105.
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 U Ultra and a USB storage device.
Should I use the storage card as removable or internal
storage?
Use your storage card as removable storage when there's already content such as your media and
other files so that you don't lose these content. 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 insert and use the card on HTC U Ultra
and other Android phones.
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, camera shots, 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 phone storage
and storage card.
After setting up the storage card as internal storage, the card can only be used on HTC U Ultra
where it has been formatted.
105 Storage
Setting up your storage card as internal storage
When you insert a storage card that has not been used on HTC U Ultra 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 the storage card
to use it as internal storage for HTC U Ultra.
§ See Should I use the storage card as removable or internal storage? on page 105 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.
1. From the Home screen, tap Settings Storage.
2. Under Removable storage, tap next to the storage card name.
3. Tap Format as internal Erase & format Format.
4. Follow the onscreen instructions to move your installed apps and their data from the phone
storage to the storage card.
If you no longer want to use your storage card as internal storage, you can reformat the card as
removable storage. Before you do so, make sure to move all the apps and data from the card back
to the phone storage. See Moving apps and data between the phone storage and storage card on
page 106.
Moving apps and data between the phone storage and
storage card
If you've set up your storage card as internal storage, you can move third-party apps that you
installed and their data such as photos, media, and downloaded files to the storage card to free up
phone storage space.

storage card if the card has been set up as internal storage.
If you need to reformat your storage card, make sure to move each app and its data back to the
phone storage before formatting the card.

Backup and reset
Ways of backing up files, data, and settings
Worried that you might lose important stuff on HTC U Ultra? Back up HTC U Ultra before you
remove content from the storage, do a factory reset, or upgrade to a new phone.
Android Backup Service
Use your Google Account to automatically back up app data and settings including Wi-Fi passwords
and files stored by certain apps.
HTC Sync Manager
Use HTC Sync Manager to import music, photos, and videos from HTC U Ultra to your computer.
You can also sync locally stored contacts and playlists between HTC U Ultra and your computer.
Likewise, HTC Sync Manager is a good alternative if you don't want to back up your accounts,
settings, and other personal content to the cloud. You can use it to create backups of HTC U Ultra on
your computer.
Other backup options
If you want, you can separately back up your data or files.
Some apps allow you to back up data to the storage card—if it's used as removable storage—so you
can easily restore them after a factory reset. Just make sure not to erase the storage card when you
do a factory reset.
In certain apps, you may be able to use the phone storage for backing up and restoring app data. If an
app is causing some problem and you need to clear its data to try resolving the problem, back up the
app data to the phone storage first.
Messages Back up your text messages to the storage card or phone storage, or save them as an
email attachment.
Contacts § Save contacts and other personal data to your online accounts so you can just sync
them when switching to another phone.
§ If you have locally stored contacts in the People app, export them to the storage card
or phone storage.
Files Connect HTC U Ultra to your computer as a disk drive to manually copy and paste
files to your computer.
Other data Check other apps to see if they support exporting data to the storage card or phone
storage.
110 Backup and reset
Using Android Backup Service
Starting from Android 6.0, use the Android Backup Service to back up your HTC phone to
Google Drive
™
.
This service can back up and restore the following:
Back up What content or settings are backed up
App data § In HTC apps, app data includes contacts stored on HTC U Ultra, call history, Clock
and Weather city list, and email accounts.
§ Data from third-party apps may also be saved in the backup, depending on the app
developer settings.
Settings These include ringtones, grid size and sort order on theApps screen, Wi-Fi networks and
passwords and some device settings.
When auto backup is enabled, the Android Backup Service periodically backs up your phone to a
private folder in Google Drive. Auto backup occurs every 24 hours when the phone is idle, charging,
and connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Backup data will not count towards your Google Drive storage quota. Large files or files that app
developers have chosen to exclude from the service will not be backed up.
Restoring your wallpaper from your old phone may depend on screen resolution compatibility of
both your old phone and HTC U Ultra.

for your backup.
