7 About this guide

Important RF Notice
This device was tested for compliance with the applicable FCC and Industry Canada
specific absorption rate (SAR) limits for radio frequency (RF) exposure during typical
body-worn operations. To ensure that RF exposure levels remain at or below the tested
levels, use a belt-clip, holster, or similar accessory that maintains a minimum separation
distance of 1.0 cm between your body and the device, with either the front or back of the
device facing towards your body. Such accessories should not contain any metallic
components. Body-worn accessories that do not meet these specifications may not ensure
compliance with applicable SAR limits and their use should be avoided.
8 Important RF Notice

Important note on recoverable data
Files and other data that have been deleted, cleared, removed, or erased from your device
may still be recoverable by third-party data recovery software. Even a factory reset may not
permanently erase all data from your phone, including personal information.

What's new
The HTC Eye Experience

some of these features:
Both sides of the story
Use Split Capture mode to record the action first and then record yourself giving a commentary. See
Using Split Capture mode on page 62.
Blend faces with anyone
Face Fusion uses two photos such as your selfie and a photo of your favorite celebrity to merge your
looks together. See Using Face Fusion on page 72.
Taking selfies just got a whole lot easier
Flash a smile, and the camera instantly captures your smiling face. Or, Just "Say Cheese"! See Using
Auto Selfie on page 60 and Using Voice Selfie on page 61.
Your mobile photo booth
Take 4 selfies and the camera automatically merges them into a single picture. See Taking selfies
with Photo Booth on page 62.
Android 5.0 Lollipop update
With the Android™5.0 Lollipop update, enjoy enhancements to some of your favorite features.
Here are some of the changes:
Bolder, user-centered design
Google®apps take on a new, colorful, and responsive design that brings a consistent, intuitive
experience across Android devices. The design elements extend to the Android user interface. For a
start, check out the revamped Recent apps screen or the Notifications panel.
More control over notifications
Choose which apps to get notifications from. This is helpful if you want to limit the notifications
that show on the lock screen. See Choosing what notifications to show on the lock screen on page
55.
10 What's new

Get back to recent apps after a reboot
When you restart your phone in earlier Android versions, all your recently opened apps will be
cleared. In Lollipop, they're still be present on the Recept apps screen after a reboot.
Easier sharing with Android Beam
Using Android Beam™is simpler than ever as it's now an option in the share menu. It makes it
convenient to share whenever another NFC-enabled device is nearby. See Beaming content on page
152.
Searchable settings
Overwhelmed with the options that you can change in Settings? Use the new search bar in Settings
to quickly find the relevant option.
Smart Lock
Set up your phone to unlock the screen just by detecting your face. Or you can use another trusted
device, such as your car's Bluetooth®system, to unlock your phone once they're connected. See
Setting up Smart Lock on page 157.

Charging the battery
Before you turn on and start using HTC One, it is recommended that you charge the battery.
§If the battery has been discharged for several days, you may need to charge HTC One for several
minutes before powering it on.
§Use only the adapter and the USB cable that came with HTC One to charge the battery. When
the battery power is too low, make sure to use the power adapter to charge, not the USB cable
connection with your computer.
1. Insert the small end of the USB cable into the USB connector.
2. Insert the other end of the USB cable into the power adapter.
3. Plug in the power adapter to an electrical outlet to start charging the battery.
§As a safety precaution, the battery may stop charging to avoid overheating.
§We recommend you check the temperature of the battery while you're charging. Also, avoid
charging the battery in hot environments.
§When you're using the Internet and charging the battery, HTC One may become warmer. This is
normal.
§To conserve energy, unplug the power adapter from the electrical outlet after you finish
charging.

hold two fingers on the screen until you hear a message saying that accessibility mode is enabled.

up your screen lock, and more.

§If you have content from another phone that you want to transfer, whether it's from an
Android or other phone, select Get content from old phone.
§If you have a previous phone backup that you want to restore from your online storage, select
Restore from HTC Backup.
To make it easier for you to back up and restore content from HTC One to another HTC phone in
the future, select Back up phone daily.
Some features that need to connect to the Internet such as location-based services and auto-sync
of your online accounts may incur extra data fees. To avoid incurring data fees, disable these
features under Settings. For more information on location services, see Turning location
services on or off on page 134.
Restoring your backup from your online storage
If you used HTC Backup before, you can restore your backup to HTC One when you turn the phone
on for the first time or after a factory reset.
Depending on the amount of content, restoring your backup to your phone through your data
connection may incur additional data costs and take a long time. Using a Wi-Fi®connection is
recommended.
1. When you're asked whether you have a Google Account, sign in to your account.
2. Use your mobile data or Wi-Fi connection to connect your phone to the Internet.
3. If you used your Google login credentials as your HTC Account and your backup is in
Google Drive™, tap Sign in with Google.
If not, tap Remind me later, go to the Transfer or restore screen, and select Restore from
HTC Backup.
17 Phone setup and transfer

phone.
Free apps from Google Play™will be restored in the background, and you can track the progress via a
notification in the status bar. To restore paid apps, you need to download and install them from
Google Play.
Your apps will appear on the Apps screen as they are installed. The Apps and Home screen shortcuts
will be reorganized as in your backup after all of your apps have been installed. You may continue
using HTC One while apps are being restored.

new phone. If this happens, try another transfer method.
