Care for your phone
To clean the screen:
· While this does not disinfect your phone, the best way to keep your phone clean is to wipe it thoroughly
with a dry, soft cloth. Avoid abrasive cloths, including paper towels and other materials with rough surfaces.
· if the screen gets drops of liquid on it, wipe it with a clean, dry cloth.

About the SD card
Your phone supports an optional microSD card up to 512 GB. A Class 2, 4 or 6 card is sufficient. Your phone uses the card as portable storage for media files: photos, videos and music. Because it’s portable, you can easily swap the card and its content between devices. After you insert the card, be sure to update settings within media apps (such as camera, music and podcast apps), so they use the card to store content you create or download.
You can’t store apps on the SD card because it is portable storage.

Learn the basics

To get around your phone, here are the key concepts.

· You can choose how you move between apps and screens: gestures or

icons.

· In addition to touching the screen to select items, you can use other gestures, such as pinch to zoom.

· The icons at the top of your Home screen tell you important stuff at a glance, such as your phone’s
battery level and network connection, and whether you’ve missed a call.
· Your phone and apps send you notifications for things such as new messages, calendar events and
upcoming alarms. You’ll find notifications in several places and can do a lot with them. To learn about these common tasks, touch one below:
· Answer a call.

· Make a call.

· Set an alarm.

· Turn the flashlight on/off.

· Listen to music.

Get apps
Your phone comes with many fun and useful apps, but you can really unlock its power by installing apps that suit your lifestyle. Go to Play Store to explore free and paid apps that help you be more productive, organised, informed, in touch and entertained.
Protect your phone
You carry your phone around with you, and accidents happen; phones get lost sometimes. So set up some security and prevent heartache if you and your phone become separated.
Set up a screen lock. This is your first line of defence in keeping your sensitive information safe. Prefer numbers, shapes words? Set up a PIN, pattern or password required to unlock your phone. Learn how.
A screen lock doesn’t prevent you from immediately answering a call or accessing your camera.
Display your owner info. On your lock screen, you can discreetly display a `please return’ message with some of your contact info, so that if your phone is lost, someone can to return it to you. Learn how.
Enable lost phone features. For peace of mind, check out Find My Device, in case you ever need to remotely locate and lock or erase your phone.
Personalise your phone
While changing your wallpaper is probably your first customisation, don’t stop there. Be sure to explore your Settings to set ringtones, font sizes, data usage preferences, keyboard preferences and much more. It’s a great way to learn many of your phone’s capabilities while customising it to suit your needs.

In most apps you can touch you there, too.

or for app-specific settings. Be sure to see what options are available to

Manage mobile data
Understand your data usage. Keep an eye on your data usage and learn how to make the most of it. See which apps use large amounts of data and adjust their settings. If your phone is using too much data, you can also stop accounts from auto-syncing.
Use Wi-Fi to conserve mobile data. When you connect to a Wi-Fi network, your data will use that network connection instead of your carrier’s network, saving your mobile data for when you need it. Learn how to connect to Wi-Fi networks.

Useful to know
Find phone info. To find your phone number, device name and other information, go to Settings > About phone.
Tell your phone what to do. Use your phone hands-free with voice commands. Tell it to navigate you and listen to it speak the directions to you as you drive — it’ll even reroute you if you’ve gone off course. Tell it to set alarms, find information on the web, make calls.
Never miss a photo opportunity. Automatically open the camera right from your lock screen. Just twist your phone twice. You can automatically back up your photos and videos with your Google account or with other photo sharing apps available from Play Store.
Store your stuff. You have several storage options. Store apps and content on your phone. For more storage space, use an SD card for photos, videos and music. You can open stored items in associated apps, such as Photos, to see your photos and videos. For even more storage space, plus the ability to access your media and files from any Internet-connected device (phone, computer, tablet), use cloud storage. Your Google account includes free cloud storage on Drive, which has its own app and is also available from the
menu throughout other apps.
Wi-Fi hotspot. You can use your phone as a Wi-Fi hotspot to share your Internet connection with your other devices that need Internet access (for example, a laptop or tablet).
Reboot phone. In the unlikely event that your phone becomes unresponsive, frozen, shows a blank or black screen or doesn’t respond to the Power button, you can reboot it. Press and hold the Power button for 710 seconds. The phone will restart normally.
Certain features, services and applications are network or carrier dependent and may not be available in all areas.

If you had an iPhone
Welcome to Android! Here are some differences between your old iPhone and your new phone.
Your assistant: you’ve retired Siri. Now, find info and get things done with Google Assistant. Just set up OK, Google’. Then ask for info or help with everyday tasks. Apps: · Goodbye Apple App Store, hello Google Play Store. Play Store is now your default app store. Apps aren’t compatible between iPhone and Android. However, many developers make iPhone and Android versions of their apps; if the app stores your data online, then you can switch with little effort. Just download the Android version from Play Store and log in. · Continue listening to podcasts. You can listen with the YT Music app. Or, there are lots of podcast apps on Play Store — search forpodcast’ in Play Store and download a podcast of your choice.

· install apps remotely. On a computer, visit play.google.com. Browse apps on the bigger screen and then
install them on your phone from your computer.
Your Home screen:
· On your old iPhone, your Home screen was on the far left. Now, you start with one Home screen and
can add more pages to the right as needed.
· Your old phone showed all apps on your Home screen. With your new phone, you can put shortcuts to
your most important apps on your Home screen for easy access. Or, find your full list by swiping up from your favourites tray. This frees up room on your Home screen for widgets, making your new home much more lively.
· Like your old iPhone, you’ll see notifications at the top of the screen, which you can swipe down to
review. But on your new phone, you can swipe them left or right to dismiss them.
Quick access to settings: on your old iPhone, to adjust settings you opened a Settings app. You can still do that. But now you’ve also got quick settings. Swipe down from the top of the screen for easy access to toggles for Aeroplane mode, Wi-Fi and other frequently used settings.
In the cloud: your Google account is your key to cloud storage with Google. If you migrated your contacts to your phone, then you can see them from any device or computer by logging into Gmail. Your Google account includes apps such as Calendar and Drive, which let you work well with others. And it has apps that let you play too access your photos, videos, music from any device when you log in with your Google account. Use YT Music to upload your iTunes library.
File sharing: If you used AirDrop on your iPhone, now you’ll use Nearby Share to easily share files or links with friends.

create them on your phone, and view them from Gmail on any computer or by signing into your Google account on any phone. Create emails or calendar events on your phone and view them on any computer. Access your browser bookmarks from any device.
· Store in the cloud. Upload your photos, videos, and music to the cloud; get to all of it without taking up
space on your phone.
· Keep your stuff secure. Your account password secures it all and lets you access it from anywhere.
Maintaining your account
Other than remembering your password, you don’t need to do much maintenance on your Google account just enjoy the benefits of your secure, synchronised information. However, you can:
· Control how frequently your phone syncs your information. · Review and manage the information Google collects from you, such as search and browsing history.

Apps : Text messaging

About text and multimedia messages
Text messages – SMS
SMS (Short Message Service) messages contain text only. One text message can contain 160 characters; when you near the limit, a counter appears. If you type more, your message is sent in a series of SMS messages. You can send one SMS message to multiple people, and replies are delivered in separate, not group, conversation threads (unless you and your recipients have group messaging enabled). SMS messages are included in most carriers’ text messaging plans and do not use mobile data.
Multimedia messages – MMS
MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service) messages can include unlimited text plus a photo, picture slideshow, video or sound file. You can send one MMS message to multiple people using group messaging, containing text only or text and media, and replies are delivered in group conversation threads to each person in the group. MMS messages use mobile data and require a mobile data plan or pay-per- use payment.
Group messaging
Group messaging lets multiple people carry on a group conversation. All replies from recipients are delivered to all recipients, in a group conversation thread. Though you send one message to multiple recipients, you are charged for each message received. Group messaging:
· Converts multiple-recipient SMS messages to MMS for all who can receive them · Is available for MMS messages only
Note: Recipients who cannot receive MMS messages receive SMS messages instead and, if media is attached, a link to download it over Wi-Fi (when offered by carrier). Replies are to the sender only, in an individual conversation.
If you don’t want to receive replies in group conversations, you can turn off group messaging in the Messages app.
