Hola.
Si estoy diciendo algo que ya está en otro tema, disculpadme, pero no lo he encontrado.
On MM, there are now two different menus to optimize the battery:
1) Going into Settings->Battery, there's the App energy saving section. Inside that section, pressing "Detail", we go to a screen where you can enable or disable the entire app energy saving, and also you can manage it for each individual app (here is where we can set automatic saving, always, or disabled, for each app).
2) Going into Settings->Battery, and pressing "Battery Use", we go to the battery use graph screen, with the list of the more consuming apps. In that screen, in the upper right corner, theres the "MORE" button, and clicking on it, it gives you the "Optimize battery use" option. If you press that, you go into a different menu than before (the menu of point 1) to optimize apps. In this case, you can only set optimize or not optimize, but there are a lot more apps to manage.
What I think is that "1" is the Samsung specific optimization, and "2" is MM's Doze. But why the two modes? Isn't it too confusing? What's the difference between optimizing apps from "1" and optimizing apps in "2"?
No one?

There are some interesting tips and tricks for this phone, and some observations I've made. This is definitely not a complete list, I just wanted to put some things that keep popping up in various threads into one central place.
TIPS:
Buy a screen protector and case! You will significantly increase the longevity of your phone.
When you're not using it, turn off Wi-Fi, 4G, and GPS. It will improve your battery life significantly.
If using the stock messaging app, you can improve load time and performance by limiting the number of messages saved in Messages -> Settings -> General -> Delete old messages.
Under Settings -> Developer options, there are several options which can improve performance on your phone, such as reducing transition time, enabling GPU rendering, and destroying background activities.
For those of you who came from Sense 1.0, you can now backup and restore your dictionary and messages to the SD card.
Messages: Messages -> 3 Dot -> Back up SMS
Dictionary: Settings -> Language and keyboard -> HTC Sense Input -> Personal dictionary -> Sync personal dictionary
TRICKS:
Disable bloatware while on stock: To disable any apps which you are forced to have on your phone but you don't use, go to Settings -> Apps, and go to each app you don't want, uninstall updates if it has any, then click Disable.
Safe mode: Restart your phone, hold volume down starting from when the screen first goes dark until the OS is loaded. If done successfully, you will see the words 'Safe mode' in the bottom of your screen.
EPST: Dial ##778 on your phone and edit developer options and programming codes. You can seriously screw up your phone if you don't know what you're doing, so proceed with caution.
Change number of home screens: Touch your home button twice. A display of all your home screens at the same time will appear.
To remove screens, long-press any screens you no longer want (you have to leave your primary screen with the small picture of the house on it), and drag it to the top to 'Remove'.
To add more panels when you have less than 7, which is the maximum, touch 'Add Panel' at the top. You can rearrange these to any order you wish.
HBOOT: To access HBOOT, turn off Fast boot in Settings -> Power, hold your power button, hit 'Restart', and when the capacitive buttons at the bottom turn off, hold the Volume Down button until it loads HBOOT.
Quickly change all sounds: You can quickly change all ringtones, notifications, and alarms by going to Settings -> Personalize -> Sound tab at the bottom.
Global phone: To enable Global phone mode, go to Settings -> Call, and change Preferred Network to Global.
OBSERVATIONS:
As with every phone model, every individual unit is not created equal. You will encounter a problem with your phone, most likely one easily rectified once we get root. You might have slow Wi-Fi, an imperfectly-fitting case, or any number of things. If it's a hardware issue, you will likely discover it before your 14 day exchange period is up. Don't be afraid to exchange it! If it's software-related, wait for root and we'll see what can be done.
Some things that were handled by the OS in previous iterations has to be done manually now, such as automatically deleting blank pictures from the Gallery app that were deleted with a file explorer or on the computer. It can be a nuisance, but without root, we can't change anything right now.
Suggestions to this list are welcome. Some things some of us take for granted are great additions to this list for the uninitiated.
Stupid question but how to turn off 4g?

There are multiple ways. I prefer adding the one-click Widget to my farthest right home screen (I reduced mine down to 3 screens, which I'm going to add to the main post how to do), accessed by long-pressing an empty location on a home screen, Widgets tab -> Settings (HTC) -> Mobile Network. You can also access the on/off switch via the pull-down tab (or via the app drawer) -> Settings -> Mobile Network on/off.
If you want to only turn off 4G and leave 3G on, you can download 4G Toggle and change the setting to 'CDMA only'. This still saves battery while allowing you access to the mobile network at slower speeds.
I updated the list again. How did these two posts get to page 4? Ridiculous.
Is it possible to disable the phone from vibrating when unlocking the phone? I am running Eclipse Razr ICS v1.5 on a DROID Razr Maxx. I have read that typically the setting is in the security section of the settings menu but I can not find it.

Try this : setting > security > vibrate on touch ( uncheck)
setting > sound > system > vibrate oon touch ( uncheck)
I have tried the "vibrate on touch" setting in the sound section of the menu(under system) but that does not seem to affect the lockscreen.
This might have no relevance but u can give it a try... In android keyboard settings uncheck vibrate on key press...

"This might have no relevance but u can give it a try... In android keyboard settings uncheck vibrate on key press..." That didn't work either...maybe it's not possible.
In OTA3 I do not think that option every time I lock the screen it vibrates. Have any solution to change the build.pro
Abraços.

Im on eclipse 1.5 with pin unlock , no issues for me. Can you try without any lock settings and see?
Settings > Security > Screen Lock > select "None"
I too hate the vibrate. I have all options for vibrate OFF and when I swipe to unlock the vibrate still vibrates. No settings, not even global will kill the lock screen vibrate. Someone will come out with a build.prop mod to eliminate it.
I managed to solve Galera installing apk Holo Locker, without the need to use the launcher. I use the launcher Atrix HD with circles and stopped vibrating with this app.

I have come to realize that the option to exclude some apps from battery optimization (Doze) has disappeared from my phone. I do remember being able to do so once since the MM update, but it no longer appears as an option in the 3-dot menu in Power. The only available option is "reset app preferences". I would like it back, so if anyone can point me to it, I'd be indebted!
Thanks
UPDATE:
Thanks to mfreeland on Android central:
Go to Power>Battery Optimization>Tap Battery optimization Not optimized, choose All apps. The list will pop up and you can choose for each app.
As many of you have noticed, going to Settings > Power Manager brings up ZTE's own flavored battery usage monitor. However, one glaring omission from their monitor is the Screen On Time (SOT).
Luckily, the stock android battery usage monitor is still present on the device, and is just not listed in the menu.
To access it:
Easy Way: Install "Battery Usage Shortcut" from the Play Store. It's basically just a shortcut to "com.android.settings.fuelgauge.PowerUsageSummary"
More roundabout way (for those who want to explore more):
Download and install "Shortcut Master (Lite)" from the Play Store, or any similar shortcut-creating/accessing app.
Hit menu in the top-right corner and select "App Explorer". Hit Yes to the pop-up, and then hit anywhere on the screen or the back button to quickly get past the loading dialog. Go down to com.android.settings and scroll down and select PowerUsageSummary (more towards the bottom of the list). As you can tell by all the options scrolled past, there's a lot of settings and such. The majority of them link to the options available under the regular Settings app, some (like this battery usage monitor) are hidden from the menu but still functional, some have a GUI but probably don't have the underlying functionality (like WiFi Calling config), some don't work at all and either don't run or crash the Settings app. If you run something that causes your device to spaz out and crash, don't blame me!
Alternatively, select "Search" instead of "App Explorer", search for PowerUsageSummary, and select the one without the $ in the name.
Enjoy!
Jesus... Why, why couldn't ZTE leave this alone?

Thanks man. Idk why ZTE didn't just leave it the way it is. I am liking how under the skin, it's just clean android and how they aren't doing anything too crazy

For those with Nova Launcher, it seems to have something suitable with its Nova activities widget, which allows selection of a plethora of things including many system settings. I don't have an A7 yet but I had a look, if other shortcut apps can do it then Nova should be able to too, I used it on my current phone (LeTV Le 1S) to turn Clearvision on.

Nova works perfectly with this too. Thank you for the tip.
Thank you very much for this, the app works great.

Often when I press the recent apps button to choose an app that I was just using, the app resets (often I have to re-enter the app password - extra aggravating).
I reset the cache partition but can't think of anything else.
As info - it has been occuring since I got the phone. I doubt it's a RAM issue because I'm using the same apps the I was using on a much older phone.
Any help, please?
Check battery usage settings. Look for optimized apps and disabled it for your apps.
If still not working, try this:
Activate Developer options by going to Settings -> About phone.
Tap repeatedly on Build Number (5 times). Go back to main screen of Settings and tap on Developer options.
Scroll down and verify the following:
-> "Don't keep activities" is off
-> Adjust "Background process limit" to "At most, 4 processes". (default is standard limit)
