[HTC Sensation] predator21:
Well frndz after going through small and scattered threads.. i have decided to make a step by step guide for all htc owners to get around simple problems on fone and battery issues

Introduction screen first​

Usually when we fire our htc for the first time we all go through the setup screen here is what to do

1. During initial setup plz do not enter or enroll any accounts even google.

2. let the setup complete and bring u bk to the main screen.

3. Disable the option where it says back up my data with google coz of so many back up apps u really do not want to use this coz every time u'll reset it will again put all these bk up items back even though u thought of gettin rid of some.

4. Go to settings and first thing all must do is re-calibrate the keyboard as all have a different finger sizes and all have a unique way of using the screen this will ensure erratic screen behaviour.

5. Go to applications and select UNKNOWN SOURCE and under privacy tab unselect back up my settings and restore tab.

6. Go to A/C and settings and enroll the accounts u want.

7. u'll have a clean and smooth setup.

App storage​

1. With coming of android 2.3.3 many users are facing a peculiar problem of icons on screen not refreshing to their icons after restart.

2. Most apps were written for froyo lately with 2.3.3 they run in compatibility mode also giving screen resolution problem in devices having res more than standard 400 x 800. This is not the fone related prob its app related issue which will b addressed shortly.

3. All smartfones today have ample amount of onboard storage, till the time the above issue is resolved its wise to keep the apps (only) on internal memory.

4. Apps stored on internal memory load and work fatster compared to those on sd-card merely coz of access times.

Battery caliberation​

1. The devices are manufactured in bulk and batteries as well so due to shipping delay and unusual warehouse storage times .. al batteries degrade a little in terms of charging cycle.

2. When u receieve a new unit make sure before u fire it up plug in the power source and let it charge, this will ensure two major defects firstly, it will recharge the battery upto max 80 % coz of first time charge which will slowly increase to full potential after use secondly, it will make sure that unit is functioning properly with the supply battery.

3. go to settings and then go to wireless networks > mobile networks .. Disable "always on mobile data" this is enabled by default.

4. You will notice two options in network mode Use WCDMA only if u prefer using 3g (do remeber to switch back to GSM mode if u r not using 3g at particular time), for those who do not use 3g simply keep it to GSM mode. (saves a lot of juice).

5. Under location tab disable wireless location, to b accurate when u use maps use normal gps when required else keep that off.

6. as personal liking keep the Haptic feedbak vibration and key board viberation off... enable sound for that if u feel like coz sound will drain battery less than stupid viberations.

7. Those who receieve too many calls plz disable "pocket mode " in sounds and use a high pitch ringtome else same and continuous viberations will drain ur batt.

8. Make sure Intial 5 battery charge cycle (full charge & full drain) is used with the help of default wall charger not the usb. Rate of charge of both differes.

9. If u wanna make batt last a bit long try using less scrollable or sync widgets on screen as due to constant sysn they drain batt for no reason, use manual updates where possible.

10. Use advance task killer and use aggressive mode coupled with "when screen off" trigger. Add few luved apps in ignore rest let it kill when ever ur screen switches-off saving lot of undue fone usage.

11. All above steps will help make batt stay longer.

Common Do's & Dont's & Myth busters​

1. More apps on fone does not make it any slower (TRUE).

2. Disable "Tell htc" under settings > about fone makes fone a bit zippy (TRUE it does).

3. In accounts and sync under htc sense tab disable auto update and select manual update coupled with update when opened.

4. Always use auto-brigtness.

5. Keep screen timeout to suitable 45 sec.

Useful Must have apps​

1. App bk up and restore- Simple Fast Best (Both working style Non root & root).

2. Sms back up and restore- Multi cross android version app.

3. Advance task killer pro.

4. Titanium Backup
