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
more memory available.
To uninstall applications:
1 Touch > Apps tab > Settings > Apps from DEVICE category.
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 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 when 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.
5
Important notice
• 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:
• Touch > Apps tab > Settings > About phone from SYSTEM > Battery.
The battery status (charging or not charging) 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 > 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 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. 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.
5. Using the Hard Reset (Factory reset)
If your phone does not restore to the original condition, use a hard reset

Touch
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.
6. Opening and switching applications
Multitasking 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. Use and switch between several open
applications. Android manages each application, stopping and starting

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.
7. Hold your phone upright
Hold your mobile phone vertically, as you would a regular phone. The
phone has an internal antenna. Be careful not to scratch or damage the
back of the phone, as this may affect 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.

Your Home screen
Touch screen tips
Here are some tips on how to navigate around 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 web page or a map. For example,
quickly double-tap a section of a web page to adjust that section to fit the
width of the screen. You can also double-tap to zoom in and out when
using Maps.
Pinch-to-Zoom – Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch or spread
motion to zoom in or out when using the Browser, Maps, or browsing
pictures.
Rotate the screen – From many applications and menus, the orientation
of the screen adjusts to the device's physical orientation.
