To Increase the Battery Timing of Your HTC

We’ve all had the same nightmare. You’re on your way to a big meeting, and you’re expecting a big call. You check your phone.
“Your battery is getting low,” reads a warning. You’ve left your charger at home and you start to feel a bit nervous. Don’t panic. Simply turn on “Extreme Power Saving” mode to conserve your phone’s remaining power.
Extreme Power Saving Mode gives you more standby time by limiting your phone’s use to its most basic functions. Introduced in the HTC One (M8)*, the mode can be automatically activated when your battery falls beneath a certain level as well.
To turn it on, click Settings > Power, and then tap the “Extreme power saving mode” switch. You can also activate the mode in “Quick Settings” by swiping down from the status bar using two fingers.
Aside from letting you use only the very basic apps (Phone, Messages, Mail, Calendar, and Calculator), the mode also cuts off the data connection when the screen is inactive, conserves CPU usage, decreases screen brightness, and disables phone vibration to boost the remaining power. If you need to access another app not on the tray, just tap “Exit”.
For now, you can go to your meeting with confidence that your phone won’t die on you before your important call. Another problem solved through HTC innovation!

More power-boosting settings

Customize your phone’s battery usage with personalized power options.
Here are some additional options on your phone:

• Power saver: A different mode than Extreme power saving that allows you to choose which battery-draining features you want to adjust, such as screen brightness and data connection.

• Sleep mode: Turn off data connections during long periods of inactivity by enabling sleep mode. Your HTC phone “learns” your regular sleep times based on your usage patterns. You can also manually set the sleep mode’s activation time.

• Usage: Find out which apps and tools use the most battery power, and adjust which ones you want to disable.

• Show battery level: Choose to display remaining battery power on your phone’s status bar and monitor your remaining power in real-time.

• Fast boot: This setting makes the startup and shutdown process a breeze. Disable it to extend battery power when your phone is in sleep mode.

We’ve built additional power features based on our user’s high-performance needs. Customizing your phone’s remaining power extends your battery life to achieve more. With so many customizable power usage options, what tips could you share to extend your phone’s battery life?

Technology is changing the game, as well as the way we enjoy it. It has been an exciting second year as the Official Global Smartphone of the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League. From day one, our mission has been to change the way you experience football and take it to a whole new digital and mobile level. With this in mind—and some creative help—we used the technology we have at hand through our mobile devices to give you a 360° football experience that goes beyond the stadium, both online and offline.

First Half

Through HTChangeTheGame, we gave you a central place within Facebook to find out more information about the next game and a place to win exclusive prizes. Last season, over 50,000 people took part and we gave away hundreds of tickets for the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League matches, as well as multiple HTC One’s and HTC One (M8)s, UEFA merchandise, and other prizes.
On top of that, we gave you the opportunity to become our HTC Fan Photographer for a day: an unforgettable pre-match experience that gives you exclusive, pitch-side access during warm-ups, the anthem, and kick-off, as well as a new HTC smartphone to capture the best photos and HTC Zoes of your once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Second Half

2014 saw the birth of the HTC FootballFeed app, the first official UEFA app in partnership with HTC. HTC FootballFeed gives you access to the latest news, up-to-the-minute UEFA-powered statistics, insights, and exclusive content from every match, club, and football player.
Since February 2014, HTC FootballFeed has been downloaded over 130,000 times and received 4.7 out of 5 stars from users in the Google Play Store. Check it out now here, if you haven’t downloaded yet.

Extra Time

To add to the fun, we looked into the relationship between football and technology and we created a series of infographics with unique insights and stats never before revealed. How is football going to be in 150 years? Who’s the smallest player in the league? How many tweets are sent on an average match? You will find out all the answers here, here and here.
We know, we know – that’s plenty of content in the World Wide Web. Fear not, we also created the HTC UEFA Hub where you will find all the content mentioned above plus more!
But enough about us, let’s get down to the most important event of the year, the UEFA Champions League Final.

The Final

The football madness started at the Champions Festival, described by some as the “Disneyland for football fans,” where the HTC Star Photo attracted millions of fans, among them few football legends like Christian Karembeu.
Talking about legends, we came down to the UEFA “Legends Match” where some of the biggest stars of the game faced each other in a friendly 40-minute match. We were lucky enough to have a chat with the one-and-only Luis Figo and get his autograph on the HTC One (M8). If you want to get your hands on this precious HTC One (M8), keep an eye on this blog as we’ll be letting you know how you can win it soon!
