Extend your battery's life between
charges by turning off features you
don't need to run constantly in the
background. You can monitor how
applications and system resources
consume battery power.
Extending your battery's life
• Turn off radio communications 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.

Google Mail™, Calendar, Contacts
and other applications.
• Some applications you have
downloaded may cause your
battery life to be reduced.

Applications tab, then select

3. Installing an open source
operating system
If you install and use an open source
operating system (OS) on your phone
rather than using the OS provided by
the manufacturer, your phone may
malfunction.
10
WARNING: If you install and use an OS
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
Android Market™. If there are improperly
installed applications on your phone,
your phone may not work normally
or a serious error may occur. You must
uninstall those applications and all their
data and settings from the phone.
4. Using unlock pattern

pattern:
If you logged in to your Google
account on the phone but failed to
enter the correct pattern 5 times,

You will be required to log in with
your Google account to unlock your
phone.
If you have not created a Google

applications and user data are deleted. This
cannot be reversed. Remember to back up
any important data before performing a hard

open and you can simply connect
to them. Others are hidden or use

them.

remove the memory card safely, in the
Home screen, touch the Applications
tab, then select Settings > Storage >
