About this guide
In this user guide, we use the following symbols to indicate useful and important information:
This is a note. A note often gives additional information, such as what happens when you choose
to do or not to do a certain action. A note also provides information that may only be applicable
to some situations.
This is a tip. A tip gives you an alternative way to do a particular step or procedure, or lets you
know of an option that you may find helpful.
This indicates important information that you need in order to accomplish a certain task or to
get a feature to work properly.
This provides safety precaution information, that is, information that you need to be careful
about to prevent potential problems.
Some apps may not be available in all regions or with your mobile operator.
8 Important note on recoverable data
Important note on recoverable data
Files and other data that have been deleted, cleared, removed, or erased from your device

Here are some of the changes:
Bolder, user-centered design
Google® apps take on a new, colorful, and responsive design that brings a consistent, intuitive
experience across Android devices. The design elements extend to the Android user interface. For a
start, check out the revamped Recent apps screen or the Notifications panel.

that show on the lock screen. See Choosing what notifications to show on the lock screen on page
61.
Get back to recent apps after a reboot
When you restart your phone in earlier Android versions, all your recently opened apps will be
cleared. In Lollipop, they're still be present on the Recept apps screen after a reboot.
Searchable settings
Overwhelmed with the options that you can change in Settings? Use the new search bar in Settings
to quickly find the relevant option.
Smart Lock
