Dynamic Noise Suppression from Audience
Your phone is equipped with an advanced voice processing chip that delivers clear mobile calls by suppressing background noise, intermittent sounds (like a siren or nearby conversation), and echoes, allowing you to hear and be heard nearly anywhere.
How Does It Work?
Based on the intelligence of the human hearing system, the technology:
•
Captures, evaluates and distinguishes all the sound signals surrounding your phone, and the person you're speaking with.
•
Then isolates the primary voice in conversation and filters out the background noise - so the person you're calling hears only your voice, without disturbing background noise.
•
Dynamically equalizes and adjusts voice volume to optimize your calling experience, so you can hear clearly and don't need to speak louder to overcome surrounding noise.
The noise suppression technology is built-in and already enabled in your new mobile phone. So it's ready to provide unsurpassed voice clarity with every call.

Extending Your Battery Life
Active applications, light levels, Bluetooth usage, and GPS functionality all act to drain your battery. The following is a list of helpful tips that can help conserve your battery power:
•
Use the Power Control shortcut bar.
•
Reduce your backlight on time.
•
Turn Bluetooth off when not in use.
•
Turn Wi-Fi off when not in use.
•
Deactivate the GPS when not needed. Most applications using this function will periodically query the GPS satellites for your current location; each query drains your battery.
•
Do not wait until your battery is completely depleted before charging your device. Repeating this process of a complete discharge and recharge can over time reduce the storage capacity of any battery.
•
Turn off Automatic application sync.
•
Use the Power Control Widget to deactivate hardware functions such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, or LCD brightness setting.
•
Check the Battery use screen to review what features or functions have been consuming your battery resources.
•
Check the Running Services and close any unnecessary applications.
•
Use the Task Manager feature to end/shutdown background applications that are still running. These minimized applications can, over time, cause your device to “slow down”.
•
Animated wallpapers use processing power, memory, and more power.
Change your Live Wallpaper to a non-animated Wallpaper gallery or Gallery image.
Power Control
Active applications, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, GPS, Synchronization, Location consent, or the LCD Brightness functionality all act to drain your battery.

Section 5: Entering Text
This section describes how to select the desired text input method
when entering characters into your phone. This section also describes the predictive text entry system that reduces the amount of key strokes associated with entering text.
Your phone comes equipped with an orientation detector that can
tell if the phone is being held in an upright (Portrait) or sideways (Landscape) orientation. This is useful when entering text.
Your phone also provides several on-screen keypad text entry
options to make the task of text entry that much easier.
Text Input Methods
There are two text input methods available:
•
Samsung keypad
: an on-screen QWERTY keypad that can be
used in both portrait and landscape orientation.
•
Swype
(default): a new way to enter text on touch screens. Instead of tapping each key, use your finger to trace over each letter of a word.
The on-screen QWERTY keypad works the same in both portrait and landscape mode.

This device can synchronize with multiple accounts (such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync, Google, or T-Mobile). When you synchronize your phone with those accounts, each account creates a separate contact entry in the Contacts list.
If one of your contacts (Amy Smith) has a regular email account that you maintain in Gmail, but also has a Facebook account under her maiden and married name, as well as a Video! chat account, when you merge those accounts into your Contacts list you can join all of her entries and view the information in one record.
Joining contact information makes sending messages easy. You can select any account email address or information all from one screen, versus searching multiple, individual screens to locate the desired account information.

Next time you synchronize your phone with your accounts, any updates contacts make to email account names, email addresses, etc. automatically update in your contacts list.
For more information about synchronizing accounts, see “Get Friends” on page 92.

information you linked. The contacts and information displays with an icon next to the contact name to indicate what type of account information is contained in the entry.

Marking a Contact as Default
When you use applications such as the Voice Dialer or other messaging type applications, the application needs to know which information is primary (default) in a contact entry list. For example, when you say “Call John Smith”, if you have three phone records for John Smith, the Voice dialer is looking for the “default” number or entry.
The
Mark as default
option marks one entry in a contact record to use as the default. This comes in handy when you have multiple entries for the same person.
1. From the Home screen, tap .
2. Tap a Contact entry.

to be the primary information (such as name, phone number, or email) and select
