Important notice
Please check if 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
6
more memory available.
To uninstall applications:
1 Touch > Apps tab > Settings >
Apps from the DEVICE category.
2 Once all applications appear, scroll
to and select the application you
want to uninstall.
3 Touch Uninstall.
2. Optimising 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 synchronization
for Google Mail™, Calendar, Contacts
and other applications.
• Some applications you have
downloaded may reduce battery
power.
To check the battery power level:
• Touch > Apps tab > Settings
> About phone from the SYSTEM
category > Status.
The battery status (charging or not
7
Important notice
charging) and 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
> Power saver from the DEVICE
category > Battery use from the
BATTERY INFORMATION category.
Battery usage time is displayed at
the bottom of the screen. It tells you
how long it has been since you last
connected your phone to a power
8
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 in a
folder.
4. 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, 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.

Important notice
5. Using the hard reset

its original condition, use hard reset

Backup & reset. Select Factory data
reset.

minute while the hard reset is carried
out. You will be able to switch your
phone back on.
NOTE: If you perform a hard reset, all user
10
> Apps tab > Settings >
applications and user data will be deleted.
This cannot be reversed. Remember to back
up any important data before performing a
hard reset.
6. 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.
To stop applications:
1 Touch > Apps tab > Settings >
Apps from the DEVICE category >
Running.
2 Scroll and touch the desired
application and touch Stop to
stop it.
To return to view list recently used
applications:
Simply press and hold the Home key.
