FAQ
This chapter lists some problems you might encounter when using your
device. Some problems require you to call your service provider, but most
are easy to fix yourself.
Check the settings status in the
sound menu to make sure you are
not in silent mode.
Anti-Theft Guide
You can set up your device to prevent other people from using it if it’s
been reset to factory settings without your permission. For example,
if your device is lost, stolen, or wiped, only someone with your Google
account or screen lock information can use the device.
All you need to make sure your device is protected is:
Ţ Set a screen lock: If your device is lost or stolen but you have a screen
lock set, the device can’t be erased using the Settings menu unless
your screen is unlocked.
Ţ Add your Google account on your device: If your device is wiped but
you have your Google account on it, the device can’t finish the setup
process until your Google account information is entered again.
After your device is protected, you’ll need to either unlock your screen or
enter your Google account password if you need to do a factory reset.
This ensures that you or someone you trust is doing the reset.
Ţ Do not forget your Google account and password you had added to
your device prior to performing a factory reset. If you can't provide the
account information during the setup process, you won't be able to use
the device at all after performing the factory reset.
