14 The Basics

Optimizing Battery Life

You can extend your battery’s life between charges by turning off features that run in the background. You can also monitor how apps and system resources consume battery power.

Tips to extend the life of your battery

Reduce the screen brightness and set a shorter screen timeout.

Turn off radio communications (such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth®, GPS, etc.) that you're not actively using. (Note that the GPS receiver is only turned on when you’re using an app that makes use of it.)

Turn off automatic syncing for Gmail, Calendar, Contacts, and other apps if you don’t need it.

NOTES Allowing other devices to use your device's hotspot connection will drain your battery more quickly.

If you accidently press the Power/Lock key while the phone is in your pocket, the proximity sensor prevents the screen from turning on in order to save battery power.

To check the battery charge level

Tap the Home Button > touch and hold the Recent Apps Button > Settings > Battery.

The Basics 19

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:

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.

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.

NOTE 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.

Touch Screen

Your touch screen provides an excellent way to interact with and use your Android™ phone. With the touch of your finger, you can download and use available apps, make menu selections, and access data saved to your phone.

Touch or tap A single finger touch selects items. For example, tap an icon (e.g., an app, widget, or folder), tap words (e.g., menu selection or to answer an on-screen question), or touch letters and numbers to type.

NOTE Don't press too hard on the screen. It's sensitive enough to detect a light, firm tap.

Touch and hold Touch an item on the screen and don't lift your finger until an action occurs. For example, to open a context menu for a contact, touch and hold the contact entry until the menu pops up.

20 The Basics

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. For example, you can drag items on the Home screen to reposition them.

Swipe, slide, or flick Move your finger quickly 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 browse through the Home screens by swiping left and right, slide the screen up or down to scroll through a list, or remove an app from the Recent apps screen by flicking its graphic off the screen.

Double-tap Tap the screen twice quickly to zoom, highlight text, or turn the screen on/off. For example, quickly double-tap a section of a web page to zoom that section to fit the width of the screen and control the zoom in Maps and in other apps. Double-tap a word to highlight it. Double-tap can also activate the KnockON feature to turn the screen on or off.

NOTE Certain Accessibility features (such as Touch zoom) use a triple-tap gesture to zoom or activate functions. A triple-tap will also activate a new event in the Calendar app.

Pinch-to-zoom Use your index finger and thumb in a pinch motion (to zoom out) or spread motion (to zoom in) when using Chrome, a map, photos, the rear camera lens, and in lists (e.g., Contacts, Favorites, the Messaging list, and a music list. Spread apart to make screen information larger (easier to see and read), or pinch together to view more area and information. The pinch gesture also changes the Home screen. Pinch in on the Home screen to change to mini panel view, then spread apart to return to the full screen view. Spread apart on the Home screen to hide all of your Home screen items, then pinch in to redisplay them.

Rotate the screen From many apps and menus, the orientation of the screen adjusts to the phone’s physical orientation by rotating the screen. You can deactivate this function in the Display settings menu.
