Lock and Unlock Your Screen
Your phone allows you to quickly turn the screen off when not in use and to turn it back on and unlock it
when you need it.
Turn the Screen Off When Not in Use
■ To quickly turn the screen off, press the Power/Lock button. Pressing the Power/Lock button
again or receiving an incoming call will turn on your phone screen and show the lock screen.
To save battery power, the phone automatically turns off the screen after a certain period of time when
you leave it idle. You will still be able to receive messages and calls while the phone’s screen is off.
Note: For information on how to adjust the time before the screen turns off, see Display, Gestures &
Buttons Settings.

unlocks.
Tip: If you’ve set an alarm, you can snooze or dismiss the alarm right from the lock screen. Just drag

Update Your Phone
From time to time, updates may become available for your phone. You can download and apply updates
through the Settings > System updates menu. Download and install software updates for the latest
performance enhancements, bug fixes, and security improvements. HTC U11 can check and notify you if
there’s a new update available.
Some app updates are available from HTC or Sprint, and you'll receive notifications on your phone when
there are new updates. Or you can install app updates from Google Play. Some HTC apps that are not
preloaded in certain phones can also be downloaded from Google Play.
Note: The information in this guide may not be most up-to-date if there are more recent software or app
updates available.
Software Update Cautions
During update: The phone cannot be used until the software update is complete. It may take time to
update your phone’s software.
