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

§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.
Phone 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.
112 Power and storage management
Storage card
Use your storage card as a removable storage to store and access your media and other files on
HTC Desire 820 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 113.
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 820 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 Desire 820
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 Desire 820
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 820 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 Desire 820.
§See Should I use the storage card as removable or internal storage? on page 113 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.

to the phone storage. See Moving apps and data between the phone storage and storage card on
page 114.
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
