The problem that we know while using this phone is about the internal memory which only have 4 GB, some capacity will use for operating system and default installed applications, then the free space will left less then 2GB. Maybe at the first time we will not get problems, but after installed or running some applications, then the applications cache or data become bigger and it will make HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL can not update or install new applications from Google Play Store. However, this full capacity memory problem only can be solve if uninstall some not use applications or remove data or cache from Setting Menu > Applications and remove their cache, but this problem will back again after using several time. There are also one solutions to do this, by moving the installed data or cache to external microSD memory, but unfortunately this need our HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL to be rooted, and we are not recommended to do root, because some wrong steps can make our phone become trouble or not run properly, please becareful to do that.

The only solutions for this trouble is doing reinstall or restore clean factory default Android operating system. For this steps, we should know that the file source of clean factory default Android operating system already saved safely inside HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL ROM. We do not need to copy or connect anything when we want to reinstall the operating system or firmware. Just follow the hard reset steps above, then the clean factory default operating systems will be reinstall automatically.

We always suggest all smartphone users to give more security protections for protect our data when the phone away from us. This is also happen at HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL. There are several options that already available at Android operating system for security protections, but we are recommended to use screen lock pattern security or password pin protections. Using screen lock pattern is faster to open and easy, but we have free to choose any other options. The problem happen when we forgot the screen lock pattern or password pin protections answer. This problem is easy to break, as long as we still remember the Google account that we have already installed at HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL. Please try to give several time wrong answer continuously until the phone locked or freeze for 30 seconds. At this time we will find Forgot Password / Pattern button, press this button then the phone will ask for Gmail username and password. If we can not access Google account at this phone, then we have to do hard reset or master format.

How to Improve Performance HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL to make run more faster?

Mostly the slower performance can be happen at HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL because of many applications run in the background. This phone have 1GB RAM, which mean it can do more multitasking. But some users does not aware that some applications which install from Google Play Store will keep run in the background without any notice because they need to wait for some data update or command to run. All applications need memory and processor resources when run although in the background. Therefore, if there are too many applications run in the background, then the RAM and processor resources will be insufficient. The Android need some process to release the resources. This will make HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL run more slowly. Try to uninstall or remove some not use applications.

How to make Longer Life for HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL Battery Saving Not Fast to Drain ?

Using 5 inches LCD with Octa Core processor will make this phone need more power capacity, but unfortunately the HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL only have 2000 mAh battery capacity, therefore we should make some adjustment for longer battery life. Please adjust the LCD brightness as low as possible because LCD is the biggest battery drain, after that turn off some not use connection like Bluetooth or Wifi while we are not use it. Some battery drain also can be faster at HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL if the network is not too good and the phone receiver will try to find good network. Using 3G also will need more battery resources, if the battery level is near empty but we are away from charger, then try to change the data connection become 2G only.

How to Upgrade HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL Operating system to Android Kitkat or Lollipop ?

Until we write this information, HTC still not release official Android Kitkat for HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL. Many users also wait for latest firmware update, also waiting for Android Lollopop upgrade. Can We update the HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL to Android Lollipop version? The answer is YES it can, the HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL specification is good enough to run Android version Lollipop and for safety reason, we just have to wait the official release Android version Lollipop for HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL. However, some other community like XDA Developer also have release the Android Lollipop custom ROM, but this need to be install Clockworkmod recovery and need to unlock boot loader. Please becareful to do this, because some wrong steps can make our phone brick and can not use normally.

How to Deal with Insufficient Internal Memory at HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL (not enough memory) ?

sadly the good performance of HTC DESIRE 616 DUAL is limited with only 4 GB internal memory, we will get only half of this size because this phone have to use internal memory for operating system and factory default installed applications. Although we can add more external memory with microSD, but all applications which are installed from Google Play Store will use internal memory for default location, therefore our phone will reject or unable to install or update some new applications if the free size of internal memoy is low. Please uninstall some not use applications to give more size. Some applications will keep cache and data inside internal memory like Facebook, Twitter and something like that, so please also consider clean cache for that apps, but of course we will need to setup again that applications to run properly.

Usually after doing hard reset, the clean factory default Android operating system will be reinstall automatically at your phone and it will run like new again, unless the hardware trouble happen on it, then your trouble will not go away although you have done hard reset or reformat.

If still can not upgrade, then please consult with HTC authorized service center.
