    For 'When to daydream', we can choose, 'While docked', 'While charging', or 'Either'

    .

    The phone in this demonstration is currently set to 'While docked', and this means while it is connected via USB to another device. We can change this option to 'While charging' or 'Either'. This can only be done when the HTC One M8 is actually connected to a power socket or to another device because it does take up a lot of battery. The daydream function is limited, and can be used only when another power supply is actually recharging the battery due to the drain on the battery caused by the feature.

    Choose the option desired by tapping on the circle on the right side of the screen across from it

    After making a selection, it will take us out of the menu, but we can press down on the three squares at the top right corner to look at the daydream settings again

    .
