3. Installing an open source operating system
Installing an open source operating system on your phone and not using
the operating system provided by the manufacturer may cause your
phone to malfunction.
WARNING: If you install and use an operating system other than
the one provided by the manufacturer, your phone is no longer
covered by the warranty.
WARNING: To protect your phone and personal data, only download
applications from trusted sources, such as Play Store. If some
applications are not properly installed on your phone, your phone may

will not be able to access your phone if you use an incorrect pattern
five times. You have five chances to enter your unlock Pattern, PIN or
Password. If you have used all five chances, you can try again after 30

If you have tried to log on to your Google account on the phone and
failed to use correct pattern five times, touch Forgot pattern? 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 you forgot it, you

Multi-tasking is easy with Android because open applications keep
running even when you open another application. There’s no need to quit
an application before opening another. Use and switch among several
open applications. Android manages each application, stopping and
starting them as needed, to ensure that idle applications don’t consume
resources unnecessarily.

functions. Do not cover the LCD‘s proximity sensor with protective film. This may cause the sensor
to malfunction.
