Important notice

Please check this section to see if any problems you have had with your phone are described, before taking the phone in for servicing or calling a service representative.

1. Phone memory

When the available space in your phone memory is less than 10%, your phone can't receive new messages. You will need to delete some data from your phone memory, such as applications or messages, to provide more memory space.

To manage the application:

On the home screen, touch the Applications tab

and select Settings > Applications > Manage applications.

When all applications appear, scroll down to the

application you want to uninstall and select it. Tap Uninstall and touch OK to uninstall the

selected application.

2. Optimizing battery life

You can extend your battery's life by turning off features that you don't need that run in the background. You can also monitor how applications and system resources use battery power.

To extend the life of your battery:

Turn off radio communications that aren't in

•

use. Turn off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS when not in use.

Turn down screen brightness and set a shorter

•

screen timeout. Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar,

•

Contacts and other applications. Some applications you have downloaded may

•

reduce your battery’s life.

To check the battery charge level:

On the home screen, touch the Applications tab

and select Settings > About phone > Status. The battery status (charging, discharging) and

level (as a percentage of a full charge) are displayed at the top of the screen.

To monitor and control battery use:

On the home screen, touch the Applications tab

and select Settings > About phone > Battery use. The top of the screen displays the battery usage

time. This is either how long since your phone was last connected to a power source or, if connected to a power source, how long since your phone last ran on battery power. The body of the screen lists the applications or services using battery power, from highest consumption to least.

10 LG-C729 | User Guide

3. Installing an open source OS

If you install an open source OS on your phone and do not use the OS provided by the manufacturer, your phone may malfunction.

WARNING: If you install and use an OS other than the one provided by the manufacturer, your phone will not be covered by the warranty.

WARNING: To protect your phone and

personal data, only download applications from trusted sources such as Android Market. If some applications are incorrectly installed on your phone, your phone may not work properly, or serious errors may occur. You will need to remove these applications and all their data and settings from the phone.

4. Using unlock pattern

Set unlock pattern to secure your phone.

On the Home screen, touch the Applications tab

> Settings > Location & security settings > Set up screen lock.

A set of screens will open/appear to guide you

through drawing a screen unlock pattern.

Draw your own unlock pattern by connecting four

or more dots. If you set a pattern, the phone screen will lock. To unlock the phone, enter the pattern you have set on the screen.

Caution: Create a Gmail account first, before setting

an unlock pattern.

WARNING: Precautions to take when using

Pattern Lock It is essential that you remember the unlock

pattern you set. You have five chances to enter your unlock pattern, PIN or password. Once you have used all five chances, you can try again 30 seconds later.

If you can’t remember your unlock pattern, PIN or password:

If you have tried to log on to your Google account on the phone and failed to enter the correct pattern five times, tap the Forgot pattern button. You will then be required to sign in with your Google account to unlock your phone.

If you haven’t created a Google account on the phone or cannot remember it, you will have to carry out a factory reset.

5. 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 have other security features, so you must configure your phone to connect to them.

Turn off Wi-Fi when you're not using it to extend the life of your battery.

To turn Wi-Fi on and connect to a Wi-Fi network:

On the home screen, touch the Applications tab

and select Settings > Wireless & networks > WiFi settings.

Touch Wi-Fi to turn it on and start scanning for

available Wi-Fi networks.

A list of available Wi-Fi networks is displayed.

•

Secured networks are indicated by a lock icon.

Touch a network to connect to it.

If the network is open, you are prompted to

•

confirm you want to connect to that network by touching Connect.

If the network is secured, you are prompted

•

to enter a password or other credentials. (Ask your network administrator for details.)

The status bar displays icons indicating Wi-Fi

status.

6. Opening and switching applications

Multi-tasking is easy with Android because open applications keep running even when you open a further application. You do not need to quit an application before opening another one. Use and switch between several open applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting it as needed, to ensure idle applications don’t consume resources unnecessarily.

To stop using an application:

On the home screen, touch the Applications

tab and select Settings> Applications> Manage applications.

Scroll to the chosen application and touch Force

Stop to close it.

TIP! Going back to a recent Application

Touch and hold the Home key. A screen will appear listing the applications you have used recently.
