1.6.1 What is the difference between text messages in an Android
OS and those in a traditional OS? What is the advantage of text
messages in the Android OS?
Difference
In a traditional operating system (OS), text messages are stored in your inbox and sent
box. In an Android OS, text messages to or from a contact are stored in a thread. Only
one draft can be saved for each thread.
1.6.6 How many text messages can be stored on my phone?
It depends on your phone's storage capacity.
To check your phone's storage capacity, touch > System settings > Storage.
Your phone's storage status is displayed under INTERNAL STORAGE.
By default, a thread can contain a maximum of 200 text messages.
To set the number of messages that can be contained in a message thread, touch Messaging >
> Settings > Text message limit, and set the message limit.
1.6.7 If I forward a message in a thread, will all the messages in
the thread be sent or only the desired message?
Only the message you selected will be forwarded.
1.6.8 How do I set a song as a ringtone for incoming calls or new
messages?
To set the ringtone for new messages, touch > System settings > Sound > Default
notification, and select the audio file you want.
To set the ringtone for incoming calls, touch > System settings > Sound > Phone
ringtone, and select the audio file you want. Alternatively, open Music+, touch and hold
the audio file you want, and select Set as ringtone.
1.6.9 How do I set my phone to vibrate when I receive new
messages?
Open Messaging, and touch > Settings > Vibrate.
1.6.10 How many Chinese and English characters can be
contained in a long text message?
A text message can contain 160 English characters or 70 Chinese characters.
A long text message can contain up to 10 pages. If the message content is more than 10 pages,
the message will be automatically converted to a multimedia message.
1.6.11 Can I delete multiple messages at a time?
You can delete multiple threads at a time but not multiple messages in a single thread.
1.7 Multimedia Messages
1.7.1 Are there any restrictions on the size, format, or resolution of
a file to be attached to a multimedia message?
If an audio or video file exceeds the size limit (generally 300 KB), it cannot be attached
to a message
If a picture is too large, it will be automatically compressed before being attached to the
message. As a result, the resolution of the picture attached to the message decreases.
Video files in 3GP and AVI formats are supported. When you are recording a video clip
to be attached to a multimedia message, the video clip resolution will be decreased to
increase the video duration.
1.7.2 My phone failed to send or receive a multimedia message.
Why? What can I do?
Multimedia messages cannot be received if you do not have sufficient storage available
on your phone. To solve this problem, delete unnecessary files to increase your phone's
available storage space.
Multimedia messages cannot be sent or received if data services are disabled. To solve
this problem, touch > System settings > More… > Mobile networks, and select
Data enabled.
1.7.3 Can I change the font size of SMS or MMS text?
No.
1.8 Call
1.8.1 How do I check my total data traffic and call duration?
To check your total data traffic, touch > System settings > Data usage. There are no
preinstalled applications to check your total call duration.
1.8.2 How do I switch between multiple ongoing calls?
When you have multiple ongoing calls, touch to switch between them.
1.8.3 Does the phone support video calls?
No.
1.8.4 Can I use the button on the earphones to answer an
incoming call or play music?
Yes. When you receive an incoming call, you can press the earphone button to answer the call.
In standby mode, you can press the button to play music.
1.8.5 Can I copy multiple contacts from the phone to the USIM
card at a time? If yes, after I doing so, the number of contacts
saved to the USIM card is less than that copied from the phone.
Why?
Yes, you can copy multiple contacts from the phone to the USIM card at a time.
If the USIM card contains contacts with the same names as those copied from the phone, the
contacts will be merged. In this case, the number of contacts saved to the USIM card is less
than that copied from the phone.
