Important notice

Please check if any problems you encountered with your phone are described in this section before taking the phone 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 Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Apps from the DEVICE. 2 Once all applications appear, scroll to and select the application you

want to uninstall.

3 Touch Uninstall.

2. Optimizing battery life

Extend your battery's life between charges by turning off features that you don't need to have 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. If you are not using

Wi-Fi, Bluetooth or GPS, turn them off.

• 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.

Important notice

To check the battery power level:

• Touch > Apps tab > Settings > About phone from SYSTEM tab >

Battery.

The battery status (charging or discharging) and battery level (percentage charged) is displayed at the top of the screen.

To monitor and control how battery power is being used:

• Touch > Apps tab > Settings > About phone from SYSTEM tab >

Battery > Battery use.

Battery usage time is displayed on the screen. It tells you how long it has been since you last connected your phone to a power source or, if currently connected, how long the phone was last running on battery power. The screen shows the applications or services using battery power, listed in order from the greatest to smallest amount used.

3. Using folders

You can combine several app icons in a folder. Drop one app icon over another on a home screen, and the two icons will be combined.

4. Before installing an open source application and OS

If you install and use an OS 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.

WARNING

To protect your phone and personal data, only download applications from trusted sources, such as Play Store™. If there are improperly installed applications on your phone, the phone may not work normally or a serious error may occur. You must uninstall those applications and all associated data and settings from the phone.

5. Using an unlock pattern

Set an unlock pattern to secure your phone. Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Lock screen from DEVICE > Select screen lock > Pattern. This

opens a screen that will guide you through how to draw a screen unlock pattern. You have to create a Backup PIN as a safety measure in case you forget your unlock pattern.

NOTE: Create a Google account before setting an unlock pattern and remember the Backup PIN you created when creating your pattern lock.

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:

If you logged in to your Google account on the phone but failed to enter the correct pattern 5 times, tab the Forgot Pattern option on the the screen. You will be required to log in with your Google account or you have to enter the backup PIN which you entered while creating the pattern lock.

Important notice

If you have not created a Google account on the phone or you forgot the backup PIN, you have to perform a hard reset.

NOTE: If you have not logged into your Google Account and have forgotten

your Unlock Pattern, you will need to enter your Backup PIN.

6. Using the hard reset (Factory reset)

To restore your phone to its original condition, use a hard reset (Factory Reset) to initialize it. Touch

Factory data reset.

7. Opening and switching applications

Multi-tasking is easy with Android because you can keep more than one application running at the same time. There is no need to quit an application before opening another one. 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.

To stop applications:

1 Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Apps from DEVICE > Running. 2 Scroll and touch the desired application and touch Stop to stop it.

> Apps tab > Settings > Backup & reset from Personal >

WARNING

If you perform a hard reset, all user applications, user data and DRM licenses will be deleted. Please remember to backup any important data before performing a hard reset.

NOTE: For multitasking, press Home key to move to another app while using an app. This does not stop the previous app running in the background on the device. Make sure to touch the Back key to exit an app after using it.

Touch Screen tips

Here are some tips on how to navigate on your phone. Tap or touch – A single finger tap selects items, links, shortcuts and letters on the on-screen keyboard. Touch and hold – Touch and hold an item on the screen by touching it and not lifting your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a contact's available options, touch and hold the contact in the Contacts list until the context menu opens. Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without lifting your finger, move your finger on the screen until you reach the target position. You can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them. Swipe or slide – To swipe or slide, 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 can slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or browse through the different Home screens by swiping from left to right (and vice versa). Double-tap – Double-tap to zoom on a webpage or a map. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a webpage to adjust that section to fit the width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out when taking a picture (using the Camera), and when using Maps. Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinching or spreading motion to zoom in or out when using the browser or Maps, or when browsing pictures. Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation of the screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.

NOTES:

• To select an item, touch the center of the icon.

• Do not press too hard; the touch screen is sensitive enough to pick up a light,

yet firm touch.

• Use the tip of your finger to touch the option you want. Be careful not to touch

any other keys.
