Important notice
Please check to see whether any problems you encountered with your phone are described in this section before taking the phone in for service or calling a service representative.
1. Phone memory
When available space in your phone memory is less than 10%, your phone cannot receive new messages. You need to check your phone memory and delete some data, such as applications or messages, to make more memory available.
Managing applications
1.
In the Home screen, touch the Applications tab, then select Settings > Applications > Manage applications.
2.
Once all applications appear, scroll to and select the application you want to uninstall.
3.
Tap Uninstall, then touch OK to uninstall the application you selected.
2. Optimising battery life
Extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features you don't need to run constantly in the background. You can monitor how applications and system resources consume battery power.
Extending your battery's life
Turn off radio communications you are not using. If you are not using Wi-
• Fi, Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off. Reduce screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.
•
6 LGL35G | User Guide
Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts and other
• applications. Some applications you have downloaded may cause your battery life to be
• reduced.
Checking the battery charge level
In the Home screen, touch the Applications tab, then select Settings >
1.
About phone > Status. The battery status (Charging, Not charging) and level (percentage
2.
charged) is displayed at the top of the screen.
Monitoring and controlling what uses the battery
In the Home screen, touch the Applications tab, then select Settings >
1.
About phone > Battery use. Battery usage time is displayed at the top of the screen. It tells you
2.
how long it has been since you last connected to a power source or, if connected to a power source, how long you were last running on battery power. The body of the screen lists applications or services using battery power, from greatest amount to least.
3. Installing an open source operating system
If you install and use an open source operating system (OS) on your phone rather than using the OS provided by the manufacturer, your phone may malfunction.
7
WARNING: If you install and use an OS other than the one provided by the
manufacturer, your phone is no longer covered by the warranty.
WARNING: To protect your phone and personal data, only download applications from trusted sources, such as Android Market. If there are improperly installed applications on your phone, your phone may not work normally or a serious error may occur. You must uninstall those applications and all their data and settings from the phone.
4. Using unlock pattern
Set unlock pattern to secure your phone. This opens a set of screens that guide you through how to draw a screen unlock pattern.
Caution: Create a Google account before setting an unlock pattern.
WARNING: Precautions to take when using pattern lock.
It is very important to remember the unlock pattern you set. You will not be able to access your phone if you use an incorrect pattern 5 times. You have 5 opportunities to enter your unlock pattern, PIN or password. If you have used all 5 opportunities, you can try again after 30 seconds.
When you can’t recall your unlock Pattern, PIN, or Password: If you have forgotten pattern: If you logged in to your Google account on
the phone but failed to enter the correct pattern 5 times, tab the Forgot pattern button. You are then required to log in with your Google account to unlock your phone.
8 LGL35G | User Guide
If you have not created a Google account on the phone or you forgot it, you have to perform a Hard reset.
If you have forgotten PIN or Password: If you forgot your PIN or Password, you need to do Hard reset.
Caution: If you perform a hard reset, all user applications and user data are deleted.
5. Using the hard reset
If it does not restore to the original condition, use hard reset to initialise your phone.
When the phone is turned off, press and hold the Home key + Volume down key + Power key for over ten seconds. When the screen shows the LG logo, release the Power key.
After the screen shows the hard reset screen, release the other keys. Leave your phone for at least a minute while it performs the hard reset,
then your phone will be turned on.
Caution: If you perform a hard reset, all user applications and user data are deleted. This cannot be reversed. Remember to back up any important data before performing a hard reset.

6. Connecting to Wi-Fi networks
To use Wi-Fi on your phone, you need to access a wireless access point or “hotspot.” Some access points are open and you can simply connect to them. Others are hidden or use security features; you must configure your phone to be able to connect to them.
Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.
Turning Wi-Fi on and connecting to a Wi-Fi network
In the Home screen, touch the Applications tab, then select Settings >
1.
Wireless & networks > Wi-Fi settings. Touch Wi-Fi to turn it on and begin scanning for available Wi-Fi
2.
networks.

• indicated by a lock icon.

3.
If the network is open, you are asked to confirm that you want to connect
• to that network by touching Connect. If the network is secure, you're asked to enter a password or other
• credentials. (Ask your network administrator for details)
The status bar displays icons that indicate Wi-Fi status.

7. Opening and switching applications
Multitasking is easy with Android because you can keep more than one application running at the same time. There’s no need to quit an application before opening another. Use and switch between several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting them as needed to ensure that idle applications don’t consume resources unnecessarily.
Stopping applications
In the Home screen, touch the Applications tab, then select Settings >
1.
Applications > Manage applications > select Running. Scroll to the desired application and touch Stop to stop it.
2.
TIP! To return to recent applications, press and hold the Home key. The screen then displays a list of the applications you used recently.
8. Transferring music, photos and videos using USB mass storage
devices
1.
In the Home screen, touch the Applications tab, then select Settings > Storage to check out the storage media. (If you want to transfer files
from or to a memory card, insert a memory card into the phone.)
2.
Connect the phone to your PC using the USB cable.
3.
USB Mass Storage mode screen will appear, and if you touch Tur n o n USB Storage button, your device connection would be recognized by PC.
11
Open the removable memory folder on your PC. You can view the mass
4.
storage content on your PC and transfer the files. Copy the files from your PC to the drive folder.
5.
When you are finished, select “Charge only” option to disconnect the
6.
phone.
9. Hold your phone straight up
Hold your mobile phone straight up, as you would a regular phone. The LGL35G has an internal antenna. Be careful not to scratch or damage the back of the phone, as that causes loss of performance.
While making/receiving calls or sending/receiving data, avoid holding the lower part of the phone where the antenna is located. Doing so may affect call quality.
10. When the screen freezes
If the screen freezes or the phone does not respond when you try to operate it:
Remove the battery, reinsert it, then turn the phone on. If it still does not work, please contact the service centre.
11. Do not connect your phone when you turn on/off your PC.
Make sure you disconnect the data cable between your phone and PC; leaving it connected might cause errors on your PC.
