Getting the battery to last longer

How long the battery can last before it needs recharging depends on how you use HTC One S. 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

Updating the HTC One S software

HTC One S can check and notify you if there’s a new software update available. You can then download and install the software update using the Wi-Fi or data connection. You can also manually check if there's an available software update.

Depending on the type of update, the update may erase all your personal data and customized settings, and also remove any applications you’ve installed. Make sure that you’ve backed up the information and files you want to keep.

You might want to use Wi-Fi to download software updates to avoid extra data fees.
