Data connection
When you turn on HTC One for the first time, it will be automatically set up to use
your mobile operator's data connection (if the nano SIM card is inserted).
HTC One is available in either a 3G-only or 3G-and-4G/LTE version, depending on
your region and mobile operator. You need a 4G/LTE plan to use your operator's
4G/LTE network for voice calls and data services. Check with your operator for
details.
Turning the data connection on or off
Turning your data connection off saves battery life and money on data charges.
1. With two fingers, swipe down from the status bar to open Quick Settings.
2. Tap the Mobile data tile to turn the data connection on and off.
If you don’t have the data connection turned on and you’re also not connected to a
Wi-Fi network, you won’t receive automatic updates to your email, social network
accounts, and other synced information.
Managing your data usage
If you're on a limited data allowance, it's important to keep track of the activities and
apps that usually send and receive data, such as browsing the web, syncing online
accounts, and sending email or sharing status updates.
Here are some other examples:
§ Streaming web videos and music
§ Playing online games
§ Downloading apps, maps, and files
§ Refreshing apps to update info and feeds
§ Uploading and backing up your files to your online storage account
§ Using HTC One as a Wi-Fi hotspot
§ Sharing your mobile data connection by USB tethering
To help you save on data usage, connect to a Wi-Fi network whenever possible and
set your online accounts and emails to sync less frequently.
