Note: Using data services while uploading photos and videos may be costly. You may want to
connect to Wi-Fi or disable auto upload of camera shots if you have a limited data plan.

After taking continuous camera shots, keep only the best shot and discard the rest.
●
After editing a photo or trimming a video, the original file is kept. You can delete original
files or move them to online storage or to your computer.

If you are only sending videos through MMS, use a lower resolution. High-resolution
video takes up more space. In Camera settings, touch Video Quality to change the
resolution.

and bookmarks or export text messages, and personal dictionaries. See Backup.
Disable Some Apps

phone storage. If the app cannot be removed, you can disable it. In Settings, touch Apps, slide
to the ALL tab and select the app that you want to disable. Touch Disable.

Encrypt Data on Your Phone

On the phone storage, you can encrypt data such as your accounts, settings, downloaded apps
and their data, media, and other files. On a storage card, you can only encrypt files.
Set a lock screen PIN or password before start encryption. Fully charge the battery and keep
your phone connected to the power adapter during encryption. This process takes may take
about an hour or so.
You cannot undo encryption on the phone storage. If you want to return to an unencrypted
phone, you must perform a factory reset. Once you enable storage card encryption, only new
files added after encryption will be encrypted. Files already on the card will not be encrypted.
Also, storage card encryption doesn't reformat or erase your card. Encrypted files on the
storage card can only be opened by the phone that encrypted them.
