Turning the phone on and off

To turn on the phone

S Press the END-CALL / POWER button.

The first time you turn on the phone, you’re welcomed to Android and prompted to sign in to your Google Account (see “Launching Android the first time” on page 26).

When you turn on the phone, you may be prompted to enter a personal identification number (PIN) for your SIM card, if it’s configured to require one.

If you entered the wrong PIN three times, the SIM card will be blocked and you will not be able to use your phone. If this happens, you can unblock it with a PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) obtained from your wireless service provider.

To turn off the phone

1 Press and hold the END-CALL / POWER button until the menu opens. 2 Touch Power off in the menu. 3 Touch OK when asked to confirm that you want to turn off the phone.

Android basics

When you first turn on your phone, you have the opportunity to learn more about it and to sign into your Google Account. Then its a good idea to become familiar with the basics of your phone and how to use it: the Home screen, the touchscreen and keys, applications, search, and so on.

In this section

“Launching Android the first time” on page 26 “Getting to know the Home screen” on page 29 “Using the touchscreen” on page 31 “Using the trackball” on page 32 “Using the phone’s buttons” on page 33 “Using the onscreen keyboard” on page 35 “Editing text” on page 38 “Opening and switching applications” on page 40 “Working with menus” on page 42 “Monitoring your phone’s status” on page 44 “Managing notifications” on page 46 “Searching your phone and the web” on page 48 “Locking your screen” on page 51 “Customizing the Home screen” on page 52 “Connecting quickly with your contacts” on page 54 “Optimizing battery life” on page 55

Android basics 26

Launching Android the first time

The first time you power on your phone (after setting it up, as described in “Your phone and accessories” on page 19), you’re prompted to touch the Android logo and to start using your phone. Then you’re offered a chance to learn about your phone, you’re prompted to create or to sign into your Google Account, and you’re asked to make some initial decisions about how you want to use Android and Google features.

Your Google Account

You must sign into a Google Account to use Gmail, Google Talk, Google Calendar, and other Google applications; to download applications from Android Market; to back up your settings to Google servers; and to take advantage of other Google services on your phone.

If you don’t have a Google Account, you’re prompted to create one. If you have an enterprise Gmail account through your company or other

organization, your IT department may have special instructions on how to sign into that account.

When you sign in, your contacts, Gmail messages, Calendar events, and other information from these applications and services on the web are synchronized with your phone.

<<cut for most deployments>>If you don’t sign into a Google Account during setup, you will be prompted to sign in or to create a Google Account the first time you start an application (such as Gmail or Android Market) that requires one.

When you sign in, you’re guided to enter your username and password in a pair of text fields, using the onscreen keyboard. For information on navigating the touchscreen and entering text, see “Using the touchscreen” on page 31 and “Using the onscreen keyboard” on page 35.

<<Version for phone with physical keyboard: When you sign in, you’re guided to open your keyboard so you can enter your username and password in a pair of text fields. For more information, see <<x-ref to section on physical keyboard>>.>>

Touch to open the onscreen keyboard, to enter your Google Account username.

Touch (or touch Next on the keyboard) to enter your password.

When you’re done, press Done on the keyboard (or press the phone’s

BACK key) to close the onscreen

keyboard, so you can touch the Sign In button at the bottom of the

screen.

If you have a Google Account but have forgotten your password, you must reset it before you can sign in. Use a web browser to visit http://www.google.com, click Sign In, click “Can’t access your account?” in the sign-in box, and then follow the instructions for resetting your password.

Additional accounts

After setup, you can add additional Google and other kinds of accounts to your phone, and sync some or all of their data, as described in “Accounts” on page 105. However, only the first Google Account you sign into is backed up to Google servers, and some applications that only work with a single account (such as Calendar) sync and display data only from the first account you sign into.

Google services

One you sign in, you’re asked whether you want to take advantage of several Google services.

Location You can choose whether to take advantage of Google’s location

service, which provides applications with your approximate location without using GPS, and whether to use your location for Google search results and other Google services. To change these settings later, see “Location & security settings” on page 264 and “Privacy settings” on page 269.

Settings backup You can choose to back up your settings (such as your

bookmarks and Wi-Fi passwords) to your Google Account, on Google servers. To change this setting later, see “Privacy settings” on page 269.

Getting to know the Home screen

Once you’ve signed in, the Home screen opens. The Home screen is your starting point for all the features on your phone. It

displays application icons, widgets, shortcuts, and other features on top of its wallpaper. You can customize the Home screen with different wallpaper and to display the items you want (see “Customizing the Home screen” on page 52).

Along the top of the screen is the Status bar, which displays the time, information about the status of your phone, and icons for notifications you’ve received. To learn more, see “Monitoring your phone’s status” on page 44 and “Managing notifications” on page 46.

You can touch the applications tab, at the bottom of the screen, to view all installed applications. See “Opening and switching applications” on page 40.

AUG-2.0.0-100 Android User’s Guide

Android basics 31

Using the touchscreen

The main way to control Android features is by using your finger to directly manipulate icons, buttons, menu items, the onscreen keyboard, and other items on the touchscreen. You can also change the screen’s orientation.

To u c h When you want to act on items on the screen, such as application and

settings icons, and when you want to type letters and symbols using the onscreen keyboard, or press onscreen buttons, you simply touch them with your finger.

To u c h & h o l d You touch & hold an item on screen by touching it and not lifting

your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a menu for customizing the Home screen, you touch an empty area on the Home screen until the menu opens; then you lift your finger.

Drag Touch & hold an item for a moment and then without lifting your finger,

move your finger on the screen. Lift your finger when you reach the target position. You drag items on the Home screen to reposition them (as described in “Customizing the Home screen” on page 52 and you drag to open the Notifications panel (as described in “Managing notifications” on page 46).

Swipe or slide To swipe or slide means to quickly move your finger across the

surface of the screen, without pausing when you first touch it (so you don’t drag an item instead). For example, you slide the screen up or down to scroll a list; you more quickly swipe across the screen to change the range of time visible in some Calendar views.

Double-tap You double-tap, for example, by touching a section of a webpage

twice quickly in Browser, so the webpage zooms in and wraps the text in that section to fit the width of the screen.

Rotate the screen On most screens, the orientation of the screen rotates

with the phone as you turn it from upright to sideways, and back again. (You can turn this feature on or off as described in “Sound & display settings” on page 262.)

Connecting to mobile networks

When you assemble your phone with a SIM card from your wireless service provider (as described in “Your phone and accessories” on page 19), your phone is configured to use your provider’s mobile networks for voice calls and for transmitting data.

Different locations may have different mobile networks available. Initially, your phone is configured to use the fastest mobile network available for data. But you can configure your phone to use only a slower 2G network for data, to extend the life of your battery. You can also configure your phone to access a different set of networks entirely, or to behave in special ways when roaming.

The status bar indicates which kind of data network you’re connected to and the overall voice and data network signal strength:

Connected to the fastest 3G networks (UMTS or HSDPA)

Connected to the second-fastest network (EDGE)

Connected to a 2G network (GPRS)

The more bars are lit, the stronger the wireless signal

Connected to another wireless service provider’s network (roaming)

When you’re connected to slower networks, you may wish to postpone using your phone for data-intensive tasks until you are connected to a faster network again, or find a Wi-Fi network to connect to (see “Connecting to Wi-Fi networks” on page 60).

To check which provider’s network you’re using

1 Press HOME, press MENU, and touch Settings, to open the Settings

application.

2 Touch Wireless controls > Mobile networks > Access Point Names.

The name of the wireless service provider you’re currently registered with is selected in the list.

If your organization’s VPN access relies on secure certificates, you must obtain the certificates and store them in your phone’s secure credential storage, before you can configure VPN access on your phone.

If your network administrator instructs you download the certificates from a web site, you’ll be prompted to set a password for the credential storage when you download the certificates. If your network administrator has you obtain the certificates in some other way, you will need to use the Security & location settings to set a password for the credential storage first (see “Location & security settings” on page 264).

To add a VPN

1 Press HOME, press MENU, and touch Settings, to open the Settings

application.

2 Touch Wireless controls > VPN settings. 3 Touch Add VPN. 4 Touch the type of VPN you want to add. 5 In the screen that opens, follow the instructions from your network

administrator to configure each component of the VPN’s settings.

6 Press MENU and touch Save.

The VPN is added to the list on the VPN settings screen.
