HTC Footprints
About HTC Footprints
HTC Footprints™ provides an easy way to record favorite places and revisit those
places. A footprint consists of a photo you take of a location such as a restaurant, a
sightseeing destination, etc., stored together with a precise GPS position and other
information about that location such as the street address and phone number.
The next time you want to visit the same place, simply access the footprint. You can
then dial the phone number or view the location in Google Maps.
Creating a footprint
1. From the Home screen, tap
> Footprints.
2. Tap New footprint. If GPS is not on, you are prompted to turn it on so that your
phone can use GPS to find your location.
3. Point the camera at the scene you want to show the location. Footprints starts
to use GPS to search for your position.
To change brightness and white balance settings before you take a photo, press MENU, tap
Brightness or White balance, and then choose a setting.
4. Press the optical trackball to capture the photo. If your GPS position has not
been found yet, you are asked whether to find the position on Google Maps,
continue the GPS search, or stop the GPS search. You may also be asked if you
want HTC Footprints to automatically determine the address for the location.
6. Tap Done.
Before pressing Done, you can press MENU, and then tap Edit to change the name, category,
or address of the footprint, enter the phone and website, and add a voice memo to the

Optimizing your phone’s battery life
When you’re on the go, it’s not always easy to charge your phone’s battery as often as
you’d like. Follow these tips to extend the time between charges:
. Turn off wireless functions such as Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and data connection
when you’re not using them. See the Internet connections and Bluetooth
chapters for details.
. Do not use GPS satellites to determine your GPS location. See the Maps and
location chapter for details.
. Lower the screen brightness. See “Adjusting the screen brightness manually”
in this chapter for details.
. Switch off screen animations. See “Switching animation effects on or off” in
this chapter for details
. Cut down on activities such as Internet browsing. Wireless data consumes a
lot of power.
. Avoid making very long phone calls or using the camera for extended periods
of time.
. Consider carrying a spare battery for times when you can’t charge your
battery for an extended period.
. Batteries gradually lose storage capacity over time. Consider replacing your
battery after eight months to a year, or if you notice that the battery life is
decreasing.

. When there is an update available, the Install system software update dialog
box will appear onscreen. Select Install now and then tap OK.

Update and reset
Restarting or factory resetting your phone
If your phone becomes unresponsive or sluggish, try restarting your phone and see if
that helps. In case your phone has a persistent problem that cannot be solved, the last
resort is to do a factory reset.
Restarting your phone (soft reset)
If your phone is running slower than normal, an application is not performing properly,
or your phone becomes unresponsive, try restarting your phone and see if that helps
solve the problem.
To restart your phone, simply turn it off and back on. If pressing and holding the
POWER button doesn’t work, then remove the battery, wait for a few seconds, reinsert
the battery, and then turn the phone on.
Performing a factory reset (hard reset)
If you’re passing your phone on to someone else or your phone has a persistent
problem that cannot be solved, you can do a factory reset (also called a hard reset).
This returns your phone to the state it was in before the first time you turned it on.
Factory reset will not remove the data and files that are in your phone’s microSD card.
Factory reset is not a step to be taken lightly. It will permanently delete all your data
and customized settings, and will also remove any applications you’ve downloaded
and installed. Be sure to back up any data and files you want to keep before you do a
factory reset.
Performing a factory reset via settings
The most convenient way to do a factory reset is via the phone settings.
1. From the Home screen, press MENU, then tap Settings.
2. Scroll down the screen, and then tap Privacy > Factory data reset.
3. On the Factory data reset screen, tap Reset phone, and then tap Erase
everything.
Performing a factory reset using phone buttons
If you cannot turn on your phone or access the phone settings, you can still perform a
factory reset by using the buttons on the phone.
1. With the phone turned off, press and hold the VOLUME DOWN button, and then
press and hold the POWER button.
2. Wait for the screen with the three Android images to appear, and then release
the VOLUME DOWN and POWER buttons.
3. Press VOLUME DOWN to select CLEAR STORAGE, and then press POWER.
4. Press VOLUME UP to start the factory reset.

Friend Stream, App Sharing
. A Standby time specification (“specification”) is an industry standard that is only intended to allow
comparison of different mobile phones under the same circumstances. Power consumption in a
standby state is strongly dependent on factors including but not limited to network, settings, location,
movement, signal strength and cell traffic. Comparisons of different mobile phones using such a
specification can therefore only be done in a controlled laboratory environment. When using any mobile
phone in real life circumstances for which the mobile phone is intended, the standby time could be
considerably lower and will be strongly dependent on the factors as mentioned above.
. Specifications are subject to change without prior notice.
