HTC Zoe™ is a revolutionary way of capturing memories that is made possible with the new camera optics from HTC. It captures and preserves a moment with high quality video, series of photos, and sound all at the same time, allowing the moment to be relived as if you were just there. Furthermore, with more data being captured, you can also create stunning visual effects that are difficult to do with other cameras or photo editing tools.

When you double-tap the Home button, a list of recently used applications will show onscreen. Each application will show the last screen you were in so you can easily identify which one to go back to. This convenient feature saves time when you’re multi-tasking and looking at info from one app to the other.

You can set up the remote manually. Follow the step-by-step instructions in “Learn TV remote” and your phone will learn the IR codes of each function.

Once Music Channel is launched, lyrics for local music will be downloaded if they are available on the server.

We have made some of our existing features even better. For example, we were the first to introduce dual shutter buttons on the screen, allowing you to take full size photos while taking videos. We have made continuous shooting even faster so you can capture up to 8 photos in a second just by holding down the shutter button! We have also made HDR video available along with smooth Sweep panorama, which enables you to do a continuous sweep to capture a broad scene.

With Always Smile, everyone in the picture will have the best smile even if they have different expressions at the moment of capture. When this is activated in the photo editor, the software will automatically look for and analyze faces in the photo sequence. You can then select each individual faces and scrub through the timeline for the expressions. Always Smile works with continuous shots and Zoes.

The TV app can accommodate up to 10 different setting configurations of the remote. Each configuration consists of a TV, set-top box, and/or home theater sound system controllers. You can set up and name each configuration for easy selection: one configuration for the Living Room and one for the Bed Room. In the current release, only one TV service provider can be configured. Support for multiple service providers will be considered for the Maintenance Release.

Sightseeing mode allows you to bypass the lock screen, making it faster to take a picture. To put your phone in sightseeing mode, simply start the camera. When the screen goes off and you press the power button again, the camera immediately activates and is ready to take a shot instantly. Opening Gallery and viewing of pictures that have been taken would still require you to unlock the screen.

In some cases, apps may not download correctly. This is usually due to extended network connectivity issues. You will need to download these apps from Google Play Store or another source.

The range is up to 7 meters, depending on the reflective surfaces in the room and the sensitivity of the IR receiver.

Your old Android phone needs to have Wi-Fi since the HTC Transfer Tool uses the Wi-Fi connection between your old phone and your new HTC phone to transfer content. Also, your new HTC phone needs to have HTC Sense 5 or later for the transfer to work.

In the current release, only TVs, set-top boxes, and home theater systems can be controlled.

When browsing photos either in albums or events view, or while viewing a full-screen photo, photos that animate are HTC Zoe photos. Tapping an HTC Zoe photo when it’s in full screen shows a timeline control for scrubbing through the captured moment.

Lyrics can only be viewed via the Music Channel.

Effects and other photo editing can be done on Zoes after the shot is captured. It cannot be enabled in real time in the camera while taking the shot. This is a better option as the original view is preserved and you can make unlimited edits which are saved as separate files.

Only the lyrics which are available on the server will be shown on Music Channel. Sometimes, the metadata for the song, i.e. artist name or song name, does not match with the data on the server and the server couldn’t find corresponding lyrics.

The first release of HTC Backup focuses on apps and the most frequently used personalization settings. We are evaluating other content and settings for future releases.

HTC Backup is the simplest and most complete way to protect and preserve your personalized HTC phone experience. HTC Backup supports more than 150 settings, and provides manual and automated backup.

HTC Share is an effortless way to share a series of photos with your friends. When this is selected in the Gallery, it automatically creates a collage of photos, along with a highlight video, that is available on a private website hosted by HTC. Your friends and family will be able to access the visually stunning video and collage across any platform, whether they are on a phone, a tablet, or a personal computer.

Each Zoe consists of a 3-second 1080p video and up to 20 photos. The 20 photos are the result of 5 photos taken each second starting from -1 second before the shutter press to 3 seconds after the shutter press. The video is saved as an MP4 file with MPEG codec at 24 frames per second and AAC stereo 48Hz sound encoding. Summing all of the above, the total size per captured Zoe sums up to around 25 to 60MB.

Object Removal allows you to remove photobombers from photos cleanly. When this is activated in the photo editor, the software will automatically analyze the photo sequence and let you choose what to remove. Object Removal works with continuous shots and Zoes.

The HTC Transfer Tool helps you to transfer content from your old Android phone to your new HTC phone with just a few simple steps. It can save you a lot of time to set up your new HTC phone.

HTC Share allows you to share the video created by Video Highlights, but not the videos you've captured with your phone's camera.

HTC Watch accounts are mainly intended for making video purchases or rentals from our HTC Watch service.

You can use the same HTC Watch account to sign in to your HTC Account on HTC phones (HTC One series and later phones only), but not to sign in to our website. You’ll need to create a new HTC Account using a different email address to access our website.

The Dropbox app is pre-installed on most HTC phones. If Dropbox is not pre-installed on your phone, HTC Backup will present a link to download it from Google Play and lead you through the account creation or sign in process.

Basically, there’s no difference between these accounts. You could either sign in to your HTC Account or your Facebook/Sina Weibo account to access HTC services. We simply want to provide more options and flexibility for you to sign in with any of those accounts.

Yes, HTC will function in a similar manner to many of the applications that use Facebook Connect authentication. Before you sign in with your Facebook account, you will see a legal statement on the same page. Tap on the Facebook information link and you’ll see the information HTC Account has access to. If you are not comfortable with this, then please do not sign in with Facebook on the HTC Account screen. And at all points, you will be able to control whether or not HTC reaches out to you periodically by email with HTC offers, product information, and newsletters.

Yes, you can use it to control your DVR. Sense TV can also access On Demand content. The support for On Demand services depends on the territories and will be extended to more services and countries. Currently, Hulu Plus (US only), Crackle (US only), and HTC Watch (16 countries) are supported. You can browse On Demand content from the landing page, Movies page, or TV Programs page. You can also see Watch On Demand options in the video details page which can link to the details page in the On Demand service app for playback.

For phones that use HTC Sense 5.0, an “Exit” button is added to the Car interface. (There was no “Exit” onscreen button on phones with Sense 4+ or earlier version). You can tap “Exit” on the screen or press the Back button to exit/quit the Car app.

Unlike Facebook or other sharing services, people don't have to pick anything when using HTC Share - it's automatically selected for you. Users also can share Zoes, highlight videos, and regular photos all at once. And by using HTC Share, you can still share links to your experience via Facebook and any other sharing option that your phone supports.

Sequence Shot works with continuous shots and Zoes. When this is activated in the photo editor, the software will automatically analyze the photo sequence and create a single photo that combines all the moving sequences in one frame.

HTC Backup is designed to make your new HTC phone just like your old HTC phone, so with only a couple of exceptions (e.g. personal dictionary) it over-writes data and settings on your new phone.

Yes, a data connection is required for navigation features.

This depends on the compatibility of the old phone with the HTC Transfer Tool. The client app of the HTC Transfer Tool can be used on phones that are installed with Android version 2.3 (Gingerbread) or later versions.

Yes. Reset your phone and start restore again from the setup wizard.

On our website (www.htcsense.com), sign in first to your HTC Account. Then click the drop-down arrow at the upper-right corner, click Account settings, and then click Edit to change your password. After changing and confirming your new password, click Save.

You’ll receive a verification email right after you register for your HTC Account. A new verification email will also be sent when you change your email address in your profile. To verify your HTC Account, just click the link in the email, or copy and paste the URL to your web browser.

If you can’t remember the answer, go to our website (www.htcsense.com), click Sign in > Sign in with HTC Account, and then click Forgot your password. This will allow you to reset your password using just your email address.

Users agree to terms and conditions that prohibit this. Others can reach out if they find offensive content, and we will assess the content accordingly.

Similar to the One X, our camera is still capable of capturing footages with up to 4x slow motion. We have added a slow motion editor which we call Variable Speed Playback so you can further control the speed on different sections of the video. We have also added a mode to allow you to capture videos at 60fps at 720p. More tech savvy enthusiasts can then use this footage to create their own slow motion videos with smooth frame rates.

When viewing Zoes in Gallery, only the video and also the photo that’s captured at the press of the shutter will be shown. Pre-shutter content can only be seen in the photo editor. Tapping Zoes when in full screen will show a timeline control that you can use for scrubbing through the pre-shutter content.

In the current design, Zoe is not supported in the front facing camera.

HTC Backup is presented in the setup wizard that appears when you first turn on your phone. HTC Backup is also presented in Backup & Reset settings.

The security question and answer provide a second level of security for your account.

One of the ways to protect accounts from unauthorized access is by verifying your account information, such as your email address and security question. Without verification, HTC support cannot help you with your account. When you request a new password or need technical support, HTC will usually ask you for the answer to your security question for verification that you are who you say you are.

HTC Backup uses about 10MB for each phone that you back up. It may require more or less space depending on how many settings you have personalized on your phone.

HTC Backup will not be able to back up your phone until you delete some files from your Dropbox or increase your storage capacity. Dropbox offers several ways to increase your storage capacity for free, for example by installing the app on other devices or inviting your friends to join.

HTC Backup backs up and restores Exchange, Hotmail, Flickr, Plurk, LinkedIn, Sync Notes with Evernote, and POP/IMAP accounts.

No. The app is included in your phone. We recommend using Wi-Fi to back up and restore your phone to avoid additional data charges from your mobile operator.

Yes. After you sign in with your Sina Weibo account, HTC will have access to your Sina Weibo user ID, email address or phone number, gender, name, country and the language you use. If you are not comfortable with this, then please do not sign in with your Sina Weibo account on the HTC Account screen. And at all points, you will be able to control whether or not HTC reaches out to you periodically by email with HTC offers, product information, and newsletters.

There are several use cases that will make the link invalid. For example, for your account’s security, the link will expire in an hour if you don’t click it. Or, the link becomes invalid if your account is deleted or if you change your email address of your account. Please follow the instructions in the message for further action.

Using your computer web browser, go to our website (www.htcsense.com) and resend another email. Just click Sign in > Sign in with HTC Account, then click Forgot your password, and follow the instructions.

Yes, your HTC Sense account has now become your new HTC Account.

Yes, you can use your HTC Watch account to sign in to your HTC Account on HTC phones (HTC One series and later phones only). But, you won’t be able to use your HTC Watch account to sign in to our website and access our web services. You’ll need to create a new HTC Account using a different email address to access our website.

This helps us identify you in our system. If you forgot your password, you can also use your email address to reset your password. And if you opted-in to communications from HTC, then special offers from HTC can also be sent to the email address you provided.

You can create an HTC Account either from your HTC phone or the HTC Get Started site.

• When you turn on and set up your HTC phone for the first time, there’s a screen that allows you to create your HTC Account. Or, go to Settings > Accounts & sync to add and create your HTC Account.

• When you go to HTC Get Started (start.htc.com) on your computer, follow the instruction to complete the personalization, and then create your HTC Account at the last step.

Not necessarily, but to access HTC services, you will need an HTC Account. If you don’t like the prospect of creating a new account, then on our newer devices, we also offer the ability to sign in using your Facebook account. And in China, you can sign in using your Sina Weibo account.

Yes. You can select between HTC Backup and Google backup in Backup & Reset settings.

Yes. You can restore to a different HTC One or to another HTC phone model with Sense 5 or higher.

There are two ways you can do. When you first turn on your new phone, walk through the on-device setup and tap Restore, transfer, or import content > Transfer from old phone. Or if you’re already using your new phone, go to Settings, tap Transfer content, and then select HTC Android phone or Other Android phone.

If you don’t have Internet capability on your old phone, you can still download the client app through your new HTC phone. First, start the transfer from your new HTC phone so that your old phone can connect to its Wi-Fi hotspot which is shown onscreen in this format: “HTC transfer tool xxxx”. Then follow the instructions on both your new and old phones to download the app.

You'll find the “Share via“ function in the Gallery app's Events view, Albums view, or full-screen view of a photo.

Not easily, though you do have options. Both you and your recipients are given the option to download individual items from the HTC Share webpage. It would be much easier to take the media items on your phone and simply use your phone to sync with your computer or upload to the cloud.

We're continuously working on adding new features to HTC Share, and would recommend that you check out regularly for new updates. And if you have specific feature requests, then please send in your feedback!

HTC Share is all about effortless sharing of your amazing experiences to friends, family, and your social sites. Not just regular photos, but also your Zoes and highlight videos.

HTC Share selects photos based upon your interactions with them. So when you view, zoom, or share a photo, you're telling HTC Share that a photo is more important to you than others.

You can see the most relevant media from your HTC BlinkFeed tile as well.

You do not need a data connection for some of the voice commands like “Call”, “Yes” or “No” when accepting or declining an incoming call, “Play” for playing music , “Check new messages”, and “Radio On” for turning on Internet Radio. You only need a data connection for those features which require access to the Internet such as “Find” for finding a location with the HTC Car’s Navigation app and “Listen to” for tuning into a station in Internet Radio.

Shows or channels you’ve marked as your favorites will be included in the recommended program guide. Based on your favorites, you’ll also see suggestions of related programs as well as popular shows.

It will take around 1 minute to move 100MB of data. It may take longer if your Wi-Fi signal gets weaker.

HTC Share is all about making it as easy as possible to share your amazing experiences. We want your friends, family, and followers to feel like they were with you at the moment they clicked on the HTC Share link and viewed what you shared. And our assumption is that this will almost always happen before the end of the 180 day period.

If you're looking for storage, then we recommend checking out Dropbox, Google Drive, or another cloud-based solution. And keep in mind that no items shared via HTC Share are ever deleted from your phone by the service.

"-1 second before and 3 seconds after the shutter press. We have engineered our camera so that it can start capturing moments before you actually press the button!

You can save Zoes as JPEG. Scrub to the moment that you wish to save, and then choose to save the frame from the menu. The photo will be saved to Albums. You can also access the HTC Zoe photos and video when accessing via the file system of the phone in the camera folders.

The music visualizer is built-in on phones that use HTC Sense 5. In the current release, music visualizer streaming to the TV via the HTC Media Link HD is not supported.

There is a button to show the full lyrics on the upper-right side of the screen.

Yes, if you need to remove one of your HTC Share uploads, please go to the HTC Share webpage you'd like to unshare. You'll see "Click here to manage your HTC Share". Click it, and then follow the instruction on the webpages to log into your HTC Account so you can remove the URL and all content associated with it.

HTC Backup uses Dropbox to store your phone’s settings. We think Dropbox already does a good job of addressing backup of photos, videos, music and documents. Dropbox includes a Camera Upload feature that backs up photos and videos as you capture them. You should turn on Dropbox’s Camera Upload feature when prompted while first setting up HTC Backup.

Each HTC Account has 250 MB of available online storage. If your HTC Share upload exceeds the online storage limitation, then you'll be prompted on your phone to choose to cancel the upload or to retire the oldest of your previously shared items. We are evaluating ways to increase the amount of available storage.

We use SSL and AES-256 bit encryption to encrypt your information. On backup, settings are encrypted on the phone and uploaded over an https connection. On restore, settings are downloaded over an https connection and then decrypted on the phone before being written to the appropriate system database. An HTC account, a Dropbox account and a supported HTC device are required to access the settings stored in the cloud.

Your settings are stored in an Apps > HTC Backup folder in your Dropbox until you delete them.

Although an HTC Share link has expired, please remember that this does not mean that the items on your phone have been deleted. As such, if an online HTC Share link is inactive, then the best way is to reupload the content in order to share with friends and family.

If you believe that an item within an HTC Share webpage violates the HTC Terms and Conditions (link), please pontact HTC customer service by email or phone, and we'll look into the issue you reported and evaluate how best to address it. Please contact us via www.htc.com for help. Or you can find your local HTC contact information from the following link: http://www.htc.com/www/contact/phone/

HTC Share is available on phones that are shipping with HTC Sense 5.0 in supported countries. You may find HTC Share in the Gallery app when you tap the Share button from Events view, Albums view, or full-screen view of a photo if your HTC phone suppots this feature. Most of the newly released HTC phones will support this feature, but this still depends on the various phone models, as well as countries.

No, your friends simply need to click the link that you shared. HTC Account is not required on their side.

There’s a four-digit pin code shown onscreen that’s used to connect your old and new phones through Wi-Fi. Please make sure the pin code on both phones matches before starting the transfer.

In some cases, HTC Backup may not be able to download or apply your settings as expected. This is usually due to extended network connectivity issues or to missing or corrupt files in your Dropbox. You will need to configure these settings manually.

You need to install the client app of the HTC Transfer Tool on your old phone. After installing, tap the app to open it and start the transfer.

Please download the app from Google Play Store. Search for “HTC Transfer Tool”, or use the QR code we provided if you have a QR code reader on your old phone.

No. You’ll be asked whether to receive promotion email when you create an HTC Account or when you first sign in to your Facebook or Sina Weibo account.

You could always go to Settings > Accounts & sync on your phone, tap HTC Account > HTC Communication (or HTC News starting from the HTC One X series; HTC newsletter from legacy devices) to subscribe or unsubscribe the promotion email.

Or, on our website (www.htcsense.com), sign in first to your HTC Account. Then click the drop-down arrow at the upper-right corner, click Account settings, and then click Edit to subscribe or unsubscribe the HTC Communication. Click Save once it is done. Please note that you’ll have to verify your email address before editing your profile on our website.

Starting from the 2013 release of the HTC One, you’ll be able to use your HTC Account to access all HTC services that are available in your region, including HTC Zoe™ Share, HTC Get Started, and HTC Backup.

If you purchased your phone in China, other than those services mentioned above, you will also be able to use your HTC Account to access Game Zone and other HTC services in the near future.

We’re constantly working on new services and expanding the availability for existing ones, and will make them available to HTC Account users when they are ready for launch.

Starting from the HTC One X series (launched in the first half of 2012), new devices will include a 90-day grace period when you sign in/up for the very first time. In that grace period, you can use your HTC Account and the HTC services that rely on it for authentication. You will receive a notification message to remind you to verify your email address every 5 days within the grace period. After the grace period, whenever you need to access any service, for example, HTC Backup on newer HTC phones, you will be asked to verify your email address. Follow the instruction on the message you see to verify your email address.

No. Starting from the HTC One X series (launched in the first half of 2012), the phone prompts a message with instruction on how to verify your email address. However, your HTC Account as well as the data stored with your account will not be deleted, signed out or purged.

Yes. Go to www.htcsense.com and sign in first to your HTC Account. Then click the drop-down arrow at the upper-right corner, click Account settings, and then click Edit to change your email address. After changing, click Save. Please note that you’ll need to verify your new HTC Account email address in order to edit your HTC Account profile or access all HTC services for good.

Your old HTC Account will still work just like before. The data stored with your account will not be deleted or purged even if you haven’t signed in for a long while. Your old HTC Account is treated as a separate account from your Facebook or Sina Weibo account.

HTC Backup uses Dropbox to store your phone’s settings. You will be asked to sign in to or create a Dropbox account when first setting up HTC Backup.

HTC Backup may not be supported in your country at this time. For AT&T customers in the US, you can download HTC Backup from Google Play.

Sign in to our website (www.htcsense.com) first. When the Email Verification message appears in the banner of our landing page, click the Resend verification email link.

In Zoe mode, there is no zooming. In normal capture, up to 4x zoom is supported.

Basically, this depends on whether faces can be recognized when you’re taking the shot.

Sequence Shot, Object Removal, and Always Smile work specifically with Zoes and continuous shots. It is one of the primary benefits of Zoes. No other camera or smartphone today offers this benefit.
