The HTC One M8 has been considered a contender against high end smartphones like Samsung Galaxy S5 and the LG 3. Here are some tips and tricks to maximize user experience:
1. Secure your phone with Kid Mode
-Nowadays, people spend more and more time on their smartphones. Children are not excluded from this, and this is where kid mode comes in. Turning on Kid Mode will ensure that your kids do not change any settings accidentally or mess with any applications that they are not supposed to open. Kid Mode can be turned on by pressing and holding the power button and selecting Kid Mode.
2. Save custom camera settings
-Users who are serious with their photography will be allowed to save custom camera settings for quick access. Users are allowed to customize the exposure, white balance, ISO, and more in order to enhance captured photos. Instead of customizing the settings each time users take photos, they can save the settings and access it with taps the next time they need it.
3. Buy groceries and more
-HTC One M8 features NFC which has Google Wallet and ISIS that can be used to make a payment at grocery stores, gas stations, and restaurants. Simply download Google Wallet and follow the instructions to set it up for credit cards.
4. Transfer data from your old phone
-Moving data from one Android phone to another is easy because most of the data is tied to the user's Google Account, but harder to transfer from other brands like Apple. HTC One M8 has a transfer option that allows you to port a large amount of data from your old device.
5. Show battery level as a percentage
-HTC One M8 displays the battery level as an icon instead of a percentage by default. This gives users an idea of how much power is still remaining but does not give a precise reading. Display the battery percentage by going to Settings > Power > Show Battery Level
