HTC has included DLNA within the phone, so if there are any nearby media servers sharing content you can connect up to those and download content directly to your phone - look for the option in the menu settings in the Gallery to get an idea about what's on offer there.
The latter is more interesting, as it means you can set you sound profiles, wallpaper and ringtones from the web, when logged into your HTC account, and from there it will be beamed directly to your phone with the minimum of fuss. On top of that you've got the fact you can drag and drop the content directly into the heart of the HTC One - if you don't want to fiddle about with the drivers you can just look through the folder system and dump your pictures, music and video in there without needing to worry about installing a million bits and pieces.
So overall, the HTC One is a very well-connected beast; no, it couldn't have you killed - we don't mean it in that way. But not matter what you fling at it, the One can interact with it in some way, and thanks to the uber-powerful innards, there's little that it can't do well, either.

North America. Home Reviews Mobile Phones. Editor's Choice. Gareth Beavis. Part of that improvement comes from a leap in 3G call performance, the One M8 beats the old One by over six hours. The two proceed to trade blows in the web browsing and video playback times with an hour of difference. Our routine also includes a standby battery draw test, which is not featured in our battery test scorecard but is calculated in the total endurance rating.
Our battery testing procedure is described in detail in case you want to learn more about it. Update: After the HTC One M8 received its Lollipop update we decided to retest the battery life and see if things have gotten better or worse. It turned out that some things had deteriorated but the overall image is better.
The HTC One M8 managed some 6 hours of call time and 1 hour of video playback less but scored 3 hours more on video playback. This is a challenging test that results in the cellular connection being lit up almost constantly, and isolates out display.
My subjective impressions using the HTC One as my personal device are that battery life is quite good, and moreover that the DNA battery life also was better than some other phones people had no problems with in I have yet to have an issue making it through an entire day on the HTC One, even when aggressively using the camera.
If I knew I was going to be away from the charger for a long time, I did enable the power saver, which sets max CPU clock on the Snapdragon to around 1. I get lots of requests to do charging tests and have been running them on everything I can lately, but anything power related remains an involved process. To test the best case charge time, I have a dedicated power supply voltage limited to 5V and capable of supplying a lot of current.
The HTC One definitely takes a while to charge. My guess would be that HTC wants to prioritize battery longevity and minimize any even potential extra wear since the battery on the One is sealed inside. Battery Life and Charging Battery life is one of those things that consistently ranks among the highest in consideration for a mobile device.
