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 there is less than 10% of space available in
your phone memory, 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.
To uninstall applications:
1. On the Home screen, touch the Applications
tab > Settings > Applications > Manage
applications.
2. Touch a tab at the top of the screen and select
the application you want to uninstall.
3. Touch Uninstall and OK to uninstall the
application.

2. Optimizing battery life
Extend your battery's life between charges by
turning off features that you don't need to having
running constantly in the background. You can
monitor how applications and system resources
consume battery power.
Extending your phone's battery life:
• Turn off radio communications you are not
using, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS.
• Reduce 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 battery power.
To check the battery power level:
• On the Home screen, touch the Applications
tab > Settings > About phone > Status.
The battery status (charging or not charging) and

from the greatest amount of energy used to the
least amount.
3. Before installing an open source
application and operating system
WARNING: If you install and use an
operating system other than the one provided
by the manufacturer it may cause your phone
to malfunction. In addition, your phone will no
longer be covered by the warranty.
11
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, it may not work normally or a
serious error may occur. You must uninstall
those applications and all associated data and
settings from the phone.
4. Using a microSD card
Pictures, music and video files, can only be saved to
external memory.
Before using the camera, you will need to insert a
microSD card into your phone.
If you don't insert a memory card, you cannot save
the pictures or videos you take with the camera.

5. 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

to ensure that idle applications don't consume
resources unnecessarily.

TIP! To use the microSD card on your phone
again, you need to open the Notifications panel
