Types of storage
Want to know what types of storage you can use for your apps, data, and files?
HTC Desire 820 has these storage types:
Phone storage This storage combines both the internal storage, where apps, email,
data, and text messages are stored, and the file storage, where pho-
tos, videos, and music files are kept. If you are running out of phone
storage, see
free up space.
Storage card Use a storage card for storing more files. You can also set some
apps to store data or files directly to the card.
USB storage When you plug in an external USB storage device (such as a USB
flash drive or an SD card reader), you can view photos and videos
stored on the device right from Gallery and play songs stored on
the device in Music. You can also open PDFs and edit Office docu-
ments. You need a special cable to connect HTC Desire 820 and a
USB storage device. HTC Desire 820 supports USB storage devices
(except portable hard drives) up to 64 GB.
ƒ Moving apps to the storage card doesn't back up the apps. If you do a
factory reset, your phone loses the apps. You'll need to reinstall them.
ƒ When you remove the storage card and insert it in another phone, the apps
on the storage card won't be installed automatically to the other phone. You'll
need to reinstall them.
