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.
Turning data roaming on or off

you’re out of your mobile operator’s coverage area.
